The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-05-16

Let US value goodness at it's true
worth. Renlenber,it costs some people
the effort to be good that it does others
to preach goodness
Henderson il now in all the glory of it's
natural beauty, with it's verdue clad for
ests and it's grass covered hills, and the
lover OF nature can here find pleasures
manifold.
The building boom seems to have taken
a fresh start. Between $25. 900 and $3O,-
600 will be put into buildings for four
new enterprises alone during the next
two months: and Others will follow.
Rev. VIM. Royal, d. d., of Wake For
est College, will preach at the Baptist
church in this place Sunday. The public
cordially invited.
The seats are being put in the new
Methodist church. 1t will be formally
dedicated Oh the 26th inst, on which oc-
casion a large attendance is expected.
Misses Georgia and Sophia Peck, of
Hampden Sidney, Va, are visiting their
sister Mrs. Rev. Alex Sprunt in Hender-
son. Miss Sophia has visited our town
before and has many acquaintance and
is much admired here.
The newspaper profession is represented
at the Episcopal Convention here this
week by Mr.. James A. Robinson of the
Durham Daily Sun, Mr. James l. McRee
of the New York Churchman, and Mr..
Henry A. London of the PittsbOro Rec
ord. All most excellent and admirable
gentlemen. There may be others of the
brethren of the quill in town that we
have not seen.
This from the Murphy Bulletin is good
and worth living up to:
An every day religion-onc that loves
the duties of common walks; one that
makes an honest man one that accom-
plishes an intellectual moral growth in the
subject one that works in all weather
improves all opportunities-will best and
most heartily promote the growth OF a
church and the power of the gospel.
Our serial "The Great War Syndicate, -
which has been running through the col
umns OF the GOLD LEAF the past several
issues ended last week. 1t has attracted
much attention and been favOrably COM
mented ON. The author, John r. Stock
ton is brilliant writer a man OF genius as
concOctOr of thrilling and interesting
narratives, original in thought, bold in
conception, incisive, witty and sarcastic
to a high degree. And withal he uses
his sarcasm to most excellent advantage
and good effect we trust.
Said man in our presence the other day
eff some OF the men who are eternal
ly talking Observation-Disclosures,
would make honest and united effort to Sc
cure one or more. there would be some
s,,x hat toll II iIyo1
of success" The GOLD LEAF takes good
part of that hint to itself, but somebody
must do the talking" or there might he
no one to perform the more important and
substantial act OF doing"
The neat appearance of the GOLD LEAF
is a subject OF general remark by many. Our
new press is doing splendid .work-all we
could expect OF it, in fact-and then we
have put in a lot of new type also. In a
short while the paper will be brought out
in an entire dress of new type. The GOLD
LEAF is progressing-thanks to those of
our patrons who by their support and ell
enlargement have enabled us to make the
additions and improvements we feel so
justly proud of.
The improvements in Henderson in the
way of new buildings last year show up
wonderfully; but the Improvements that
will be made during the present year. will
more than double those of last year, we
believe. At any rate, they will be OF a
different nature and more beneficial to the
town at large. The storage warehouse, a
plug tobacco factory and large prize fac
! A~e -, -
will be built in the next few months.
| And then there is a fair prospect that the
cotton factory will be built ere great
| while.
| Keep cool by using plentiful supply OF
| ice. Amos Edwards has just received a
car load of kenebcc river ice and is sup
| plying his customers at reasonable figures
| Already one car load has been exhausted
and his ice house has been refilled. Send
your orders to Mr.. Edwards. may 16
