A WORD ABOUT The GOLD LEAF.-The
GOLD LEAF never entered upon new year
under more lattering and favorable cir
1t has more friends and bet
ter ones, than ever before and is determined
to do its best to retain them as we'll as to
win others. If hard work, close applica-
tion to business and high sense of duty
will avail anything the paper is determined
to march onward and upward in the line
of progress and prosperity. But it does not
rely altogether upon its own merits or abil-
ity. 1t recognizes the fact, that without
the aid and encouragement of its friends it
can accomplish but little. 1t is upon the
public confidence and support that it is de.
pendent for success and just in proportion
to its deserts it expects to be rewarded.
Our interests are mutual let US work to-
gether.
