The PROPER COUEsE.-Tiic Wilmington
Messenger is right and we entirely agree
with it when it says " the time has pissed,
if it ever properly was, for jcalousies be-
tween North Carolina towns. Honest,
active, sharp rivalry, is good and proper,
but no spirit Of narrow, selfish enyiousness
can proftably exist among a people, all
engaged III the upbuiiding Of their State"
THIS is what the GOLD LEAF believes and
tries to practice. There is no need Of using
underhand means to down a rival, bat
| in every way that is fair, honest, legiti
mate and manly tbs paper will be found
laboring in behalf Of its town and section.
Not that we love neighboling towns less,
! but Henderson more.
! Read Cooper's new advertisement this
week. tie uses plain talk AID means what
! lie says. For big prices and high averages
the Old Reliable" is the place to sell
your tobacco. Figures tell the tale and
they are given as plain As can be. jams

/ DEATH OF MRS. JOHN JONES. -Death
has again been at work in our midst. At
/ I O'Clock Sunday morning. Mrs. Sallie L..
Jones, wife Of Mr. John Jones, died at her
home in this place Of pneumonia. She had
been sick about one week. Deceased was
a daughter of the late james NJ. Williams,
Esq, Of Halifax, and Mrs. NJ. A. Will
liamswho died in this place in June last.
| Mrs. Jones was a most excellent lady, es-
teemed and admired for her many aniable
virtues and lovely character. She was a
consistent member Of The Protestant Epis-
copal church and died in full faith of a
rich reward in tic life to come. The GOLD
! LEAF sympathizes with the husband, sister
and two brothers who survive her in this
sore affection.
We notice among others Messrs. Andrew
and Il. T. Elan, A. G. Cgburn and W. f.
! Copley, some OF the finest tobacco growers
of MecklenOurg county, Va, sold tobacco
at Cooper's warehouse this week They
obtained good prices Of course. Good to-
bacco always sells well, ana these gentle
men usually make that kind.
