The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-09-26

Gooch & Co., who had last sale, finished.
And these pushy men had to push things
to do it.
The Washington correspondent of the
Durham Globe in a recent communication
TO that paper says: 1t is understood that
the Secretary of the Treasury will soon
appoint Mr.. r. p. Hughes, of Oxford, as
general stOrekeeper and gauger. This
will be agreeable news to the many per-
sOnal friends of that gentleman.
, Mr.. J. w. Graves, of Danville, Va, will
be manager at Walker & Rowland's plug
tobacco factory. Mr.. Graves is already
here and has entered upon his duties He
is an experienced man at the business
and having the very best facilities at his
command will turn out nothing but first
class work. The GOLD LEAF welcomes
him to Henderson.
SO successful was the Warren county
fair last year that itw decided to make
it not altogether local in it's nature this
fall, and Vance, Fraklin, Nash Halifax
end Mecklenburg counties will all be rep
resented by exhibits as well as attend
ance next month. The authorities tell
us the fair will be one of the best in the
State beyond all question.
Cooper & Mithel have moved their
stock of goods to Parker & Gloss old
stand where they will be pleased to see
their friends and patrons in future. They
had to have more room in order to ac-
commodate their large and growing trade,
and to get it they have gone into larger
quarters. Remember the change and go
to see them at their new stand.
The melancholy days have come
again. The summer has passed away
and we are now in the autumn season.
The leaves on the trees have a whitening
tendency, and many are dropping to the
ground. There is a peculiar aspect and
feeling that always come with the fall,
Indicating decay and the passing away
OF all things lovely in Nature.
1t is now proposed as the only plan to
break the sugar trust for consumers to
stop using sugar for ninety days, and
stick to it as the farmers stuck to their
agreement not to use Irvine, and sugar
will come down as the trust "goes up"
Agreed Well take "Our'n'' straight
for ninety days if the rest of you will do
the same thing. Come let's bust the
sugar trust.
We learn from Buffalo Springs that Mr..
covered from his long sickness, and now
weighs nearly two hundred pounds
| Oxford Day.
| This will be gratifying news to the
many friends of that gentleman. Es-
teeming him very highly the GOLD LEAF
is pleased to learn of Mr.. Gregory's i'm
proved physical condition.
The Hicks Tobacco Company of Oxford
how hac aI acb r.,.l
will engage extensively in the manufac-
ture of tobacco. The Day says:
|. Some idea of the amount of machinery
may be gained from the fact that it took
seven cars to bring it here, and although
three wagons have been busy every day
| for ten days hauling it to the factory,
they have rot yet completed the transfer.
We are pleased to have Mr.. Geo. W.
Baker, editor and proprietor of the
JonesbOrO Leader, with us this week. He
not only knows how to get up good
paper, but is one of the finest JOB prin-
ters in the State as well. This is Mr..
Bakers first visit to Henderson, but if he
is as favorably impressed with the place
and people as those who have met him
are with him, we are sure it will not be
the last
Women grow old with a better grace
than men, or, what is the same thing, so
far as others are concerned, with lesser
loss of grace than men. No woman ever
grows old willingly, of course. Still,
women do grow old, and often to advant-
| age. Age makes them more discreet
and if they desire the prettiest, best fit
ting, most comfortable and lasting shoe
in the market, they will go to Angela S
shoe store.
An exchange says that every paper in
the State should publish the fact that
burnt corn is a sure cure for hog cholera,
and adds: at was first discovered by the
burning of pile of corn belonging to a
distillery in Peoria, Ill. 1t was thrown
to the hogs and eaten by them. Before
that time a number had been dying each
day with cholera, but the disease imme
diately disappeared. 1t is so simple a
, remedy that it can easily be tried
That is evidently a bright little mind
(beg pardon, we mean the little lady has
= bright mind) at the helm of the Or
= phdns' Friend. In the last issue we find
this really poetic reference to so common
1 place a subject as cowboy:
: 1t is an ideal eXistence-that of the
cowboy, just now. His charges browse
contentedly or lie idle under the wide
! spreading trees, while he seated in 6
swing near by, with half-closed eyes
> swaps lazily to and fro.
e There is a difference in people, W,
= have noticed that man may talk fol
half an hour in buying his little boy 6
suit of clothes, or spend an hour in try
ing to beat down prices on a stove, OF
l furniture, or coal but when he goes into
a saloon he gives his order without al
|, inquiry and pays without comment
l There is no debating of prices there. Ant
T this leads us to say that some men nigh
be able to give their wives a pony phae
ton with the money they spend for pom,
. beer.
: Instead of feeling tired and worn out, in
stead of aches and pains, wouldn't yol
rather feel fresh ond strong? If you con
