The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-07-04

LET NOT THE LOCAL Press BE
SUPPoRTED.-No town
can afford to be niggardly in the sup
port of its local press. The business
of a town is judged by the advertisingt
columns of its newspapers. The COM
mercial importance. if not the intel
lectual standard Of a community. is re-
Elected i'm the character and patronage
of the press it supports. The Sails
bury Herald says on this subject:
ri The Chamber OF Commerce has recently
had printed $4,000 envelopes setting |
forth the advantages OF the town, and
these will go into all parts Of the United
States. Many letters of inquiry will be |
sent here as result of this advertising |
and sample copies of the various |
papers will be sent for. The advertising |
patronage of the town is about equally |
divided among the three papers, but in
all of them combined not more than one
third Of the business houses are repre-
sented. Strangers Judge of the life and
enterprise of town by the appearance
of it's papers. What, then, will be the
opinion of Salisbury when her papers are
seen containing SO few advertisements?

PERsONAL.-Mr. G.. III. Harris,
Is Buddy a Henderson boy, who has
for several years been connected with
the Rocky Mount Phoenix, was WIS.,
itor to our town during the past few
DAYS. He tells us he has purchased
the outfit and good will of the Rocky
Mount Plain Dealer, recently founded
by Mr.. w. ID. Stokes, and will i'll fu-
iture bend his energies toward making
a booming success of that paper. The
GOLD LEAF wishes him the best OF sue
, cess He has done good service tor his
| town and section and deserves the most
liberal support and encouragement. In
, getting out the special trade issue OF
, the Phoenir some time ago he did
e credit to himself and good work fo1
r Rocky Mount. Already the benefits Of
: such labor are being seen. and felt
:. And the good work will 60 ON If he re-
e ceives the patronage he deserves at the
. hands of the business men OF Rocky
r Mount.
