Orinkley, Warrenton, N. c., which ap-
pears in this paper
~ we were pleased to see Mr.. James f.
aatum, representing the Old Dominion
faper Company, of Norfolk, Va. Of which
ne Is member, in our office yesterday.
ne Is well known to the trade and no
one who comes this way is more popular.
MI. Iatum represents good house and
one That we have always found to be
prompt, reliable and as cheap as any
Sorry We werenot in when Mr.. J osephus
Daniels of the State Chronicle called to see
us last Friday. A card informed us that |
ne had been here and found the door
locked and all hands gone The circus
was here that day and we know where |
the printers were, but unless we knew |
exactly at what hour Brother Daniels |
called we can't say positively where we
We're about that time
Merchants having holiday goods for |
sale should remember not to forget that |
many people begin buving such things
early i'll the season. 1t is only a short |
time from now to Christmas and New
Years, and the alert advertiser catches
the early shoppers. We get out but four
more issues of the GOLD LEAF before
Christmas. Hand in your announce
ments for next weeks paper. The earlier
the better.
There has been slight change in the
schedule of mail trains on the Raleigh &
CASTOR Railroad. The North bound train
now reaches here at LOO and the South
bound train at 2:1O-both 20 minutes
later than heretofore. This change has
been made to connect with the Atlantic
Coast Line trains at Weldon. The new
arrangement will be great convenience
to the travelling public, and we have not
been able to understand why it was not
| done sooner.
The melodrama given by Alden Bene-
| dict at the Academy of Music last week,
entitled "Fabio Romani," was probably
| the finest thing ever placed before the
| public here Mr.. Benedict himself is
emphatically the artist, and his support
was all of the best.-Sterling Times, Aug.
81.
Mr.. Benedict will appear in this place
| at Burwell Hall next Tuesday evening.

! This has been an eventful year in the
history of Henderson, religiOusly speak
ing. We have had the Episcopal Conven-
ton and the Baptist State Convention;
the dedication of the new Methodist
Episcopal church, and very successful
revival meeting in tue same, conducted
by Rev. VIM B. North of Chapel HILL
There have been revival meetings also at
the Methodist Protestant and Baptist
churches. And then came the Pearson
meeting. Besides thecolored people have
had two big revival meetings also.
Mr.. W. r. Henry, of counsel for Cross
and White, tells us that the opinion OF
the United States Supreme Court Will
probably not be certified down to the
Supreme Court of North Carolina until
some time in the Spring. So it will be
some time vet before the sentence OF the
lower court will go into effect. And
again Mr.. Henry informs us that the ac-
ton of the Federal Supreme Court does
not finally dispose of the case, as he still
has two other points bearing upon it yet
in reserve which he proposes to present
now.
We have not been more agreeably in
truded upon by any one than we were
when our esteemed friend Mr.. W. ID.
Gregory, OF newspaper notoriety, pre-
sented himself in our office yesterday
morning. 1t had been more than year
since we had seen his genial countenance
and then he was but mere shadow OF
his former self. He has entirely regained
his health and is now as stout, hearty
and good looking as ever. From lO6
pounds when he was sick he now tips the
beam at 100, and is doing good work as
advertising solicitor OF the Orphans
Friend
; Before the Baptist Convention met
those who made it their duty to provide
homes for the delegates said there would
Dropablv be about 500 present. When
J thev arrived, coming as they did IRON
l different directions and at different times
) we did not think there were as many az
/ 1876 present, but Mr.. T. M. PltIman tells
us tnat is the number OF ministers ant
, lavmen here last week. Then there were
perhaps 200 or 800 other visitors II
