The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-02-14

L Ills WAS the hist that has fallen this viii
ter in sufficient quantity to show on the
ground.
1t is said that teaspOonful Of salt in
each kerosene lamp makes the oil give a
clearer and better light This is very sim
pie and cheap, and is at least worth a trial.
An exchange says this is the season when
the country editor begins an article, Let
Us warm ttle heart of the poor, aud then
he goes out and treat, himself to cock
tail.
Henderson ought to have half a dozen
plug tobacco factories in operation. This
ought to lie good point for such enter
pliScs. We have the raw material i'll album
dance.
Says the Wilson Adcance, and with much
truth:
The man who raises his own supplies
makes money. The man who buys his
meat and meal makes-mOitGageS.
| See advertisement Of valuable land for
sale by Thad K. Manning. his is good
! farming land, convenient to market and Is
very desirable property. y bargain may
| be had in it. Terms easy. None but pros
pcctive purchasers need apply.
The Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad authori-
ties are building another sidetrack on the
east side of their main line extending from
tie old Oxford & Henderson depot to their
passenger station down town. The ne"
track is for the use Of the Durham q Hen
derson road.
We are in full accord with the Laurin-
burg Erctange when it says
The vagyant law should be strengthened
bv this Legislature in order that towns and
cities could rid themselves easily OF such
loating trash, who can't tell you how they
make a living honestly.
We venture to say no town Of its size in
the State has prettier church buildings
than Henderson. They would show we'll
on paper and it should be a matter of pride
to the members of each denomination to
see a cut of their beautiful house Of Wor-
Ship shown in the illustrated industrial
edition Of the GOLD LEAF.
Farmers are now busy preparing their
plant beds-thoSe who have not already
done 50. Let ample provision be made for
plenty of plants this season. Still the
in of large crop. Better plant few acres
and manure and cultivate those few well.
1t is only the better grades of tobacco that
there is money in making.
The finest tobacco in the known world
for cigarettes is grown in the country trb-
utary to the Henderson market. Why
then have we no cigarette factories here?
/
understood and no inducemcnt has been
held out to secure such enterprises. Let
! Us work along this line and see if we can
net accomplish something.
There is nothing selfish about the GOLD
LEAF. We desire the .Ierity Of all of
our people, and note with pleasure the sue
cess of any one. We want to see every
business and every enterprise in LENDER
son flourish, whether it is a patron of this
paper OF not. We are glad to know, how
ever, that all the GOLD LEAF advertisers
are doing a good business and are finding
| this is a capital medium through which to
let their wants be known.
We note with pleasure the growing pros
pcrity OF the Dauville !SOuthern IoGucco
,JUtrAHL. In the last issue it says:
- columns Of advertisements is What we
print to-day. - StrdWo show which way
the wind blows"
Brother Iiarman has worked hard to
| bring the J0UruuL up to its present high
standard to make it valuable medium
to the tobacco trade, and his success is de-
served.
The gratifying intelligence comes to us
that track laying on the Dun nam & Hen
! dcrson Railroad has been completed. Work
on the last bridge is being pushed forward
with all possible speed, and it is expected
| that trains Will run through by the first Of
| March, or 4 little thereafter Already a
car load of freight has been received here
| for point on the new road-CreedmOre-
| about n miles out from Henderson.
Our distinguished fellow townsman Dr..
| J. II. Tucker read paper before the San
ltary Convention at Raleigh on 1.-The
Duties and Responsibilities of County Su-
perintcndents of Iiealth," which we see
! favorably mentioned in the papers. 1t is
spoken Of as "a fine paper and the GOLD
LEAF feels assured that whatever comes
from Dr. fuckers pen has the merit of
force, originality, Judgment and good taste
about it,
Another Henderson boy goes out this
week to take the road as commercial
traveller. Mr.. Samuel Burwell who fol
