dersOn tobacco circles. Our several
warehouses were full and sales could not
be finished during the day.
The rates to Baltimore during the Ex-
position have been reduced to one fare by
the Bay Line$7.65. Cheap enough,
and many people from hereabouts will
no doubt go.
Nothing is accomplished for a town by
letting every projected enterprise die
down. Talk is good in its place, but it
don't build up town unless work is
coupled with it.
II. 7. Watkins has moved his law office
across the street to Parker 4 Gloss
wholesale store, where he has furnished q
nice suit of rooms. Persons having bus
mess with him will bear this in mind.
Some of our merchants are laying in
their Fall stocks of goods. If they dis
play true wisdom the GOLD LEAF will be
full of new advertisements announcing
what they have and how cheap they pro-
pose to sell.
Barnes, Stainback & Co. have uniform
ed George Littlejohn, their colored por-
ter, and no corps commander ever felt
prOuder of his stripes. 1t is first rate
advertisement for these enterprisjng
young merchants.
Mrs. H. H. Harper will open school
at her house next Monday, and asks the
he taught She has had experience as a
teacher here and elsewhere, is thoroughly
competent to perform the duties of a care
full and painstaking instructor.
The first month of Fall is here, and the
season has approached for making pur-
chases of new goods, and the merchant
who has bargains to offer and spreads
(advertises) the news abroad will stand a
much better chance of selling than he
who gets his house full of goods and says
nothing about it.
We were pleased to have call from
Mr.. John T. Britt, of the Oxford Public
Ledger, last Friday. He is getting out
the best paper our neighboring town ever
had, and deserves the most generous pat
rOnage of his people. The Public Ledger
is a credit to the town and county and is
the best advertisement of it's section that
could be sent out.
1t is rather difficult matter for a
newspaper to "puff' an undertaken or
grave-digger, but to the living who may
be so unfortunate as to lose their friends
we may say that Mr.. John NJ. Barnes,
undertaken, carries a full line OF burial
cases, caskets, wood collins, &C., and is
prepared to elnbalm bodies after the
latest and best process.
We bring our game cock to the front,
and let him stretch his proud neck and
exercise his lungs little in honor of Hen
derson's big tobacco sales. We have
"got there by a large majority On
Jumbo breaks and flag poleprices. Moth
ing like it was ever seen before. Keep
your eyes on the columns of the GOLD
LEAF and watch the progress of events.
The tobacco market reports and other
items bearing upon the tobacco interest,
as published in the GOLD LEAF, are worth
many times the price of subscription to
persons interested in the business in any
way If you are not already a subscriber,
give us your name and your money and
let the paper be sent regularly to your
address in future.
The Asylum folks are dropping out,
And some, perhaps, we'll miss 'em,
But where is the man who will not shout
\ long farewell to GriSSOm.
-Iarboro Southerner.
Yes, We'll shout long farewell
To both Rogers and DR.. Grissom,
Though of sympathy" we haven't-well
Enough to play their game OF kiss
