ABOUT THE PRICE OF NEwsPAPERs..

ABOUT THE PRICE OF NEwsPAPERs.-
The Warrenton Gasette whose editor is a
practical and intelligent gentleman, COM
ments in this manner 'lpon the suspension
of the Henderson News. 1t says:
We are not surprised at the suspension,
for the subscription price was only, one
dollar year, and the cost must have been
more than this. There is scarcely town
or county in the State that can support
more than one newspaper, and where you
see more than one it is generally only
matter OF time until there is failure.
Every county should have one good news
paper, and it should receive the hearty
support Of all classes Of the community.
We are often told by friend or subscriber
that the Gazette is too high. This may
look so, and perhaps would be so il every
paying one. As It is, however, it is a diff
cult matter to publish it at two dollars.
Numbers Of other gentlemen have attempt
ed to publish cheaper paper and every
one of them failed.
/ : There is food for reflection in the above.
We are frequently told that the price Of
the GOLD LEAF is too high, and have the
New York Weekly World, the Atlanta
Constitution, or some other foreign paper.
whose weekly edition is made up from the
daily, cited to us as an illustration. When
q man begins to argue on that line we are
done. We know it will be hopeless task
trying to do anything with him, A person
with no more reason, and so little town and
county pride as to prefer the foreign blanket
sheet paper because it is cheaper, is not the
man we are hunting for. But IL is not to the
New York World or the Constitution. or
any other ono of the hio naners abroad that
they send when they want an obituary
notice Of some dear departed friend or rel
| alive published, or that they look In to see
some mention Of Sarah AIMS marriage and
other items of home ners that transpire
around them. Not much. The big paper
at distance cares nothing about such
things as that. 1t has got your dollar and
there the obligation ends-until the time
for which you have paid runs out, and when
it does you get no more paper until you
send another dollar. But that is all right
it Is business you say. But when the pub
Usher Of the home paper who perhaps has
waited for his money year or two after
working hard for it, has the brazen effront-
cry to ask for his just dues. you regard
him as an old bear who thinks you did not
intend to pay him without being asked
for it.
| Some people have great deal Of con-
sistsncy Co and the newspaper man has a
fine opportunity of finding 1t out.

MASONIC LODGE AT DABNEY.-The editor
Of the GOLD LEAF is not Mason, but he
recognizes the virtues Of that ancient and
order and has hoped to see a
lodge again instituted in Henderson. There
was a Masonic lodge here several years ago,
but some of its members going away or
from other causes the charter was surren-
dered and the lodge went down. But now
there are quite enough Masons in the town
we presume for new lodge to be estab-
lished, and although not a Mason as we
said we have not understood why this has
not been done. There are the Order of Odd
Fellows and Knights of Honor and why
not Masonic lodge in Henderson also?
Our neighboring village of Dabney IS
ahead of US in this respect. A Masonic
lodge was organized there in October and
is doing we'll we learn. 1t started with
about dozen members and about as many
more have been added since. Its members
comprise some of the best men in that Sec
ton and the lodge gives promise of great
usefulness and honor. They meet once a
month and there is punctual attendance we
are told. A set of lodge jewels has been
presented them by Mr.. D. Y. Cooper, a Gift
which is highly appreciated by the indi.
vidual members. The GOLD LEAF con.
graduates Dabney upon her progressive
ness in this matter and wishes the lodge
long life and usefulness.

DEATH INvADEs A HAPPY HoME.-The
sombre winged angel of death has invaded
another happy home in Henderson and
there is mourning and sorrow in the hearts
of loving ones. About 2 o'clock Monday
morning Miss Cora May O'Neil, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. James A. O'Neil, died at
her home in this place, in.the sixteenth year
of her age. Seldom have we been called
upon to pen sadder lines than these. De-
ceased was most lovely and loveable
young lady, bright, cheerful and happy
and favorite with all who knew her.
There was not a happier home than that
across the threshold of which the shadow
of sorrow has fallen and in which the ha-
biliments of mourning are now displayed.
It was a loving and interesting family. and
it seems strange and cruel that death should
make itself an unwelcome visitor there
but God knows best and to the will of Him
"Who dOeth all things we'll" in humble
submission we should subject ourselves.
The large attendance at the funeral which
Arnold, and the many loving and sympa-
thetic friends who followed the remains to
their resting place in the cemetery, attested
the high esteem in which the family and
the deceased were held. The GOLD LEAF
extends to the bereaved family its con-
doing sympathies and sorrows with them
in the grief that is theirs.

heartily congratulate you upon the COM

l know something of the difficulties under

ty, and will stand ready to give you more
cordial and enthusiastic support than ever

the paper attain to the greatest degree Of
perfection and usefulness in the cOmmuni-
ty. Stay where you are. pursue the
same course you have done all along, and
your labOrs must be rewarded by even a
more brilliant and successful career. The
GOLD LEAF merits the fostering care of the
people for which it has and is still doing
SO much, and am quite sure such a peO-
pie will continue to encourage it.-Er-

EOR CONSIDERATION OF SOME NORTH
CAROLINA NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS -
Why can't our country weekltes print
sheets that can be read? Sevcrai-we
almost said many-Of our exchanges are so
eyesight needs spectacles to read them.
There ia no need Of so poor work as reg
ular thing. but some Offices seem to think
that about all that is necessary to the print
ing business is to go through the motion, |"
aud collect the m0ney-if they can do the
latter. There are some bright and shining
exceptions to this criticism and we, with
other members Of the craft in good stand
ing" honor them. but the idea that any
body can run paper" better than the edi-
tor prevails to an extent that makes many
8 paper 4 disgrace, In typographical ap-
pearance, TO the profession. "A fair pre-:
sentation helps out many al honest effort
when better thought falls dat for want OF
the same .-sonssboro Leader.
The trouble is that too many newspaper
publishers imagine boy that can sat up a
column or two OF type Is competent to
" run" the Office and because they can Sc
cure such help eheap(?) they set up shop
and pitch in. This is . serious mistake.
Nothing helps q newspaper more than a
clean. neat and attractive appearance.
This Is Of greater importance than the
quality Of reading matter that goes into 1t.
People do not want to advertise in n paper
that cannot be read. And Of course no one
cares to subscribe for it-unless it be done
from sense Of town or county pride.
10 One of the true secrets of printing good
paper lies in the roller. It is we'll to have
good type and good press of course, and
competent persons to operate them. but
without good composition roller you can
not print good paper. To some of our
exchanges we would suggest the propriety
Of investing few dollars in new roller
and then the application of little lye
water or benzine to it occasionally.

ABOUT ADVERTISING CHARGEs.-The
GOLD LEAF has complaint some times about
what some concerns are pleased to call its
high charges for advertising space. We
charge fair. reasonable, living price, and
believe we can give an honest return for
the money so spent with US. Business that
don't pay is no business at all, and we do
not want-nor will we accept-any such
patronage This paper is not one of the
class that is ready to take everything that
is offered it in the shape of advertising, no
matter from whom it comes and at what
price we are ''authorized" to publish it
But there are plenty papers that do. What
the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record says
Of itself suits our case precisely. 1t says !:
Advertisers to whom we have quoted
rates sometimes write us that they can get
advertising at one-fourth or one-half of
what we charge, and so they can. You can
buy a hat for a dollar instead of paying five
dollars for one, but it will not be the same
sort of hat.

At the residence of the brides mother,
by the Rev. R. VanDeventer, on the night
of the 9th inst, at o'clock, Mr.. l.. A.
Keller to Miss Stella T. Stone
The affair was very quiet one there
being but few of the most intimate friends
Of the family to witness it. That their
union may be long, happy and prosperous
one is the fervent wish Of their numerous
friends. p.
UNBUsINEsS LIKE AND UNJUST.-1n our
efforts to retain old and secure new sub
scribers we are often met with the two fol-
lowing statements: paid certain editor
up and ordered him to stop my paper,
which he hasn't done, and can't take your
paper until he does; and a certain editor
started his paper to me without my order
ing it and must see about it before can
take yours.
In regard to the first statement, when all
requirements are complied with. an editor
should always do as requested, and if he
doesn't do so, he doesn't deserve any pay;
and in regard to the second statement, we
say the editor guilty OF such an act ought
not even to expect any pay.-LGuraa6urg
Exchange.
These are our sentiments exactly. No
publisher has right to thurst his paper
upon a person whether wanted or not. It
is neither business like nor just to send a
paper to person who has never ordered it
to he sent-unless it be done compliment
airy or as an advertisement, and then it
should he SO marked or written on the
margin. Nor is it right for publisher to
continue sending his paper to person who
has requested that it be discontinued. At
the same time it is not fair to order the
paper stopped until all arrearages are
paid, or at least promise being given to
that effect. The course pursued by some
publishers to secure subscribers(?) to their
sheets is alike compromising and degrading
to the profession.

A PRETTY CHRIsTMAs CARD.-One of the
prettiest Christmas cards the GOLD LEAF
has received or seen came with the compli-
ments of Tyson & Jones, the we'll known
carriage builders, of Carthage, n. e..
There is in the left hand corner of the card
a crescent upon which is the picture of a
church. A brilliant star is shining from
above casting flood Of light over ali be-
low. The ground is covered with snow
and icycles and tags Of the feecy fakes
hang from the branches of the trees in the
surrounding forest. On the right side Of
the card is the picture Of an angel, with a
crown Of jewels and robe woven Of brill
iants and stars, the whole forming very
pretty and unique holiday souvenir. The
GOLD LEAF thanks these enterprising gen.
tlemen for their kind remembrance.
