to say the congregations of the same are
cordially invited to attend this service.
What a splendid paper the GOLD LEAF
would be if it was in fact all its friends
claim for it. Our good friend Of the Clarks-
Vile, Va, Clipper, says:
The Henderson GOLD LEAP is Tie best
country paper that comes tOOnr office.
We take the following from an exchange.
The moral it points is clearly seen:
"No. Young man." said the dealer, 'I'm
sorry, but can't give you All advertisement.
You see, I'm troubled with heart disease,
and my physician has ordered me to stop adj
vertising, 50 that may enjoy absolute rest
and quiet.
The birch rod used by the first teacher in
a Vermont SrhOOl-hOuSp over one hundred
wears ago is said to be nailed over the pres
ent teachers desk.-ELchange.
1t would be a greater factor for good if
kept in the teachers hand. 1t is not good
logic to nail switch to the side of house
in School-rOOm.
New subscriptions are coming in and
That is the way let the good work con-
tinue. When we receive substantial ell
enlargement of this kind it enables us to
get out better paper. We want to make
still greater improvement in the GOLD
LEAF this year.
The GOLD LEAF is sincerely glad to see
Mr. w. ii. Walker on the streets again
lie came out for the first time Friday and
has been enjoying the soft balmy weather
and genial sun-baths since. Buck" has
had ''quite a SPELL of it, being con-
fined to his holse two months. His many
friends are glad to see linn up and about
again.
The gainesville Democrat says "watch-
ing for the letter that never comes is pleas
ant pastime compared with the agony OF
the. woman who is watching for the answer
to the letter given to her husband to mail,
that never went" Our friend is evidently
married man whose pockets are dead
letter Office for all the missives his wife
gives him to mail.
Give us more manufactures. A diversity
IF industries is what every town needs.
Says the New Berne Journal:
Give us something that will employ the
people and they will be better able to pay
house rent able to buy more groceries :;
able to buy better and more clothing able
tn send their children to school and make
better citizens of them.
The old year with its joys and :orrows
has passed away, and the new with its I'M
seen future is upon us. A retrospective view
reminds us that we have failed to make
use of the golden opportunities which the
dead year has presented to us, and this re-
Election should inspire us with renewed
zeal and courage to live in the future up
to the requirements of our Christian and
social dutics.-CAase CITY Progress.
There is a great deal of truth in what the
Warrenton Gazette says in the following
paragraph And it is applicable to some
people outside of Warren county, also. The
Guzede says:
One great drawback to our county is the
fact that SO many have forgotten the Bible
command, which is six days shalt thou
work, &c.
The. town government Of Greenvillp is
abnut as near failure as it gets to be. Not
a street lamp light last Saturday night, as
dark, disagreeable and dangerous As it was
-JEtSHttLto iSfjtectOF.
Better move UP to live, progressive, 60
ahead Henderson, Dave where you can en-
Joy the brilliant glare OF the electric light
tire brightest and soitest yet most power
full illumination in the world next to the
king of day.
The 1obacco PUNT tells us that a lease Of
the Oxford & GAINESVILLE railroad to the
Richmond & Danville system for ninety
nine years has been registered at Durham.
The Oxford 81 Henderson railroad has also
been leased by the Richmond Il Danville
Company. This in no way affects the man
agement of these roads. They were viz
tually the property and under the control
of the Richmond & Danville syndicate be-
fore this new deal took place.
The Scientific american, published by
Mum & Co, New York, is admitted to he
the best publication of its kind in the world.
1t presents weekly to its readers the best
and most reliable record of various I'M
provements in machinery, the arts, and the
technical Industries, while the scientific
progress of the country can in no way be
followed so we'll as by the regular perusal
of its pages. See advertisement in this pa.

1t is intimated that when the Durham &
Henderson Railroad is finished, trains will
run through from Durham to Weldon, rum
ming on about the same schedule as that
formerly in operation on the Raleigh &
CASTOR road. We hope this may be so As
the trains now run people along the line
are subjected to great Inconvenience. We
believe it would pay to run the Durham
! train through to Weldon instead of stop
! ping here, making sort of local or accom-
mediation train of it.
| Let the farmers prepare the land wei
/ for the next crop. And then the seed il
! the ground there is 10 time for idleneSs
! 1t requires work, and plenty of it, to make
j crop, and the better it is cultivated tn
more generous will be the response. Goot
tillage is the strongest weapon with whicl
/ the farmer can fight hard times and gai
success. Imperfect culture, on the othe
hand, will scarcely enable him to gain
! living from the richest soil, and the sol
will deteriorate rapidly in quality frol
such treatment.
