To Keen a Trim FiclIre,

Women who wish to preserve the slimness
and contour Of their figure must begin by
learning to stand well. That is explained to
mean the throwing forward and upward of
the chest, the aattening of the back, with the
shoulder blades held in their proper places,
and the definite curving in the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight of the
body upon the hips No other women hold
themselves so well as the aristocratic English
women Much of their beauty lies in their
proud carriage, the delicate erectness Of
their figures and the fine poiSe of their heads.
The same aristocraic carriage is within the
reach of any American girl who takes the
pains to have it; it is only the question of a
few years of eternal vigilance, never relaxing
her watchfulness over herself, and, sitting or
standing, always preserving her erectness and
pose, the result being that at the end Of that
time it has become second nature to her, and
she never afterward loses it. This, in a great
measure, preserves the figure, because it keeps
the muscles firm and well strung, and pre-
vents the sinking down of the flesh around
the waist and hips, SO common in women over
20, and which is perfectly easy to escape
Another thing to avoid is bad habit Of 60
ing up stairs, which most women do, bent for
ward, with the chest contracted, which, as
we'll US an indolent, slouchy manner of walk
ing, is injurious 10 the heart and lungs

A Sensible Letter About Farming.
HENDERSON, &c, july l6 1ss


EDITOR GOLD Leaf understand that
my name appeared in your columns as
successful farmer. Ny success in farming
is planting small crops and cultivating
we'll. We often hear people complain of
drought as a cause of bad crops. but I find
that land plOwed deep and kept clean does
not suffer as much as people suppose, and
Richard, and
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep.
They would have corn to sell and to keep
And here will relate circumstance that
took place in 1882. 1t being a very dry
year Gas it failed to rain from the 4th Of
people in certain neighborhood held a
meeting to pray for rain, and several of
the leaders of the meeting had PRAYED and
spoken, when old Brudder Pete was asked
to tell what lie thought OF the times, and
he made these remarks: "Bredren, we
had better be in our fields killing de crab
grass and let de Lords business alone
And, Mr.. Editor, if we as farmers would
keep our fields a little cleaner of weeds
and grass we would not hear so much COM
plant of bad crops. Another thing, we
depend too much upon commercial fertil-
lZers and do not pay enough attention to

sons cultivated lot OF four acres and put
200 pounds of guano to the acre and he only
made 500 pounds of lint: My experience is
there is not as much virtue in commercial
guano as many believe there is.

The PLAIN TRUTH.-The Toisnot
Rural Home copied what the GOLD
LEAF said a few weeks ago about the
rarity of Maj. II. NJ. Powell's coming
to town, &C., and comments as follows.
1t says:
The above is one OF the truths shown
OF successful farmer. Stay away from
the towns as much as possible. Some of
our farmers can be seen in town two or
three days in the week. Nothing can sue
coed unless it gets attention. and at this
time of the year, especially, farmers
presence is needed at home to make
things move on properly. We do not
mean farmer should not go to town at
all, but we say he should not have bust
ness there too often. 1t will take too
much cotton in the fall to pay the ex-
penses which naturally occur by visits
often made to town. He buys too much
sells too little.

SAD DROWNING OF A HENDERSON
YOUNG MAN.-News reached Hender-
derson Monday of the accidental drown
ing in James river, near Richmond,
Va, of Mr.. Samuel White, oldest son
of Capt. J. B. White of this place,
Sunday night. The Richmond Times
of Tuesday gives the following particu-
lars of the sad occurrence:
Without word or cry, and while very
close to half dozen companions, who
were out bathing Sunday night between
10 and II O'Clock at the Belle Isle bridge,
Samuel White, young man about twen-
ty-fOur years OF age, was drowned and
his body has not yet been recovered.
Between two pillars OF the bridge, on
the Manchester side, there is quite swift
stream of water, and the young men
would go up above the bridge, jump into
the stream, and swim down some distance,
either catching on to some projecting
rocks or turning into shallow water.
This they did number of times. The
last time, however, all his companions
had gone down the stream and landed
safely on the rocks or in shallow water,
while Mr. White kept on with the current
He caught at one rock but missed it, and
went on to another, which he also failed
to get a hold on His friends, knowing
! him to be a good swimmer, paid no par
| ticular attention to this, thinking he was
only playing about in the stream, but
| were Mortified to see him sink beneath the
water not to arise again.
| Late in the night and all day yesterday
parties were searching for the body, bu'
| their efforts We're of no avail.
| Mr. White came to Manchester about
Two years ago from Henderson, n. c., ane
had been employed as q machinest at tn,
Richmond & Danville Railroad Company
shops ever since. He lived with his uncle
Mr. John Bailey, at the corner OF Twelfth
and cambridge street. He was nephew
OF DIR. Isaiah White, Of Richmond, AM
both of his parents now reside In Hender
son. n. C.. He was young man OF con
siderable popularity, and his untimel,
death has cast gloom over all who knew
him.
The body was recovered later an
the remains brought here for interment
reaching Henderson last night. San
White was well known and popular il
this community. He was young man {
exemplary habits and had a large circl
of friends and acquaintance. Hi
sad and untimely taking off will carr
sorrow to many hearts outside of hi
immediate family.

DESERVES MORE THAN THEY GET.
The Durham Daily Sun knows where
OF it speaks when it says the country
press is doing a grand work for the
State and the communities in which the
''home papers" are published. That
their labors are not altogether unappre-
ciated and unrewarded it is true but that
i'll many instances the editors are poorly
paid, the suspension ola paper every now
and then, or the change in ownership,
goes to show. The San says:
AS class, editors of the country news
papers have done and are constantly
doing more for their town and it's welfare
and progress than any other set of men
III it's borders. The country paper is a
great educator, great comfort and a
great advantage to every community
The money paid for it is the best invest
ment in the long list of family expenses.
A GENEROUS DEED HIGHLY APpRE-
CIATED.-When it was announced that
General w. H. Anthony had appointed
Mr.. W. W. Hall, of this paper, upon his
staff with the rank of Major, number OF
the friends OF Mr.. Hall Immediately con-
tributed sum of money sufficient for
the purpose and presented him with a
handsome uniform. This act was a spon-
taneous evidence of their kindness to him
and it was appreciated most highly and
he is grateful to them for this token OF
their friendship and good will toward
him. Deeds OF this kind are what make
life worth living and tend to strengthen
the ties of friendship which already exist
between the donors and the dOnee.- Vel.
don Neus.
And the GOLD LEAF wants to say
that such graceful act could not have
been performed in behalf of more
worthy gentleman, or one that will ap-
preciate the kindness more highly. In
making this appointment Gen. Anthony
bestowed the honor most worthily, and
in presenting Major Hall with his
handsome uniform his admiring friends
in Weldon did themselves proud. Such
evidence Of their appreciation Of his
labors in behalf of his town and county
through the columns of his splendid
paper the Roanoke Ne,cs, is fitting
testimonial of endorsement and will
nerve the editor to greater efforts in
the future. There has been graceful
action all around and the GOLD LEAF
is pleased to note it. Major Hall, we
salute you.
