advantage of us in that he has more to
retire upon, however But while he got
more money out of his office Mr. Geve-
land never occupied "a more, honorable
position than President of the North
Carolina Press Association.
The GOLD LEAF is laboring for the up
building of Henderson, Vance county and
North Carolina. We want to bring
Drawn, brains and money within our Dor
ders; they will benefit ill alike. Immi
grants buy from the man who sells the
cheapest and ask no questions whether
he is this, that or the other. Do you
want to prosper? Then help the GOLD
LEAF to help you.
You will confer favor upon the editor
and at the same time do SOMETHING to
benefit your home paper, if you will make
it a point to do business with those who
advertise in the GOLD LEAF-and take
occasion to let them know that you saw
their advertisement in the paper when
you call to see them. They show by their
acts that they appreciate your trade,
and are not ashamed to invite you to
their places OF business.
The man who spends as he goes soon
has nothing to spend, but is broken down
who weekly saves a portion OF his earn
ings and economies in his business, soon
places himself among the hOnOred and
respected. 1t is as certain as the revOlu-
ton of the spheres. But the man who
saves nothing sinks lower and lower in
spirit, enterprise and character. There IS
no hope for him.-kLzabsth City .Ve~s.
Mr. Ernest l.. Chavasse has bought out

cold Reliable is to be congratulated
upon such an acquisition. Mr.. Major is
one of the best statesmen that ever smiled
at Il customer from behind counter,

his services. Swep says he will make it
to the interest of persons who want fine
clothing, hats, shoes. gents furnishing
goods, etc, to call and see him at his new
place of business.

INVITED TO DURHAM.-Our Tobacco
Board of Trade has extended an invita-
ton to the Henderson Board to visit
Durham on the 18th of August. Dur
ham, it will be remembered, enjoyed Hen
derson's hospitality short time ago,
and from what we have heard OF that Oc-
casiOn, Durham will have to put her best
foot foremost to reach the mark made by
Henderson. You may be sure, gentle
men, of Il cordial welcome. Come along.

DESTRUCTIVE RAINS.-Great dam
age has been done in this section by
the late rains. Up to yesterday it was
generally conceded that the crops had
been seriously injured, and last night
the climax so to speak came i'll the
heaviest rain that has been known in
this section in long time. 1t poured
down in torrents and continued to fall
at intervals the greater part OF the
night. The dams at Fox's, Rowland's
and Parrish's mills near town were
washed away. while Amos mill house
and dam are both gone. The dcstruc-
ton to property has evidently been
great and we expect to hear OF other
damage done throughout the country.

No CAUSE FOR JEALOUSY.-Dr.
Kingsbury says something about news
papers being jealous of each other.
The GOLD LEAF believes it is singu-
larlv free from anything of the kind.
There is nothing selfish or prejudicial
about it toward any of its brother pub
lishers-Or any one else. We have
! our faults in common with the rest of
/ mankind. but this is not one of them.
Will DIR. Kingsbury do us the honor to
read what we said about personal jour
nalism and the common bond of SYM
pathy and unity of purpose that should
exist between the editors and publish
ers. in our remarks before the Press
Association last week: Those are our
honest sentiments and we try to follow
out ut least that much of the advice we
give others.
