RELIGIoUs.-Rev. &. II. Scott will preach
in the Presbyterian church next Sunday
morning.
Mr.. Scott is we'll known in Henderson,
but not as minister of the Gospel. lie
will be remembered as Maj. Scott, chief
engineer Oh the Durham & Henderson
Railroad, and a most excellent and intel
ligent gentleman.
He was educated for the ministry, taking
a regular theological course and was Or
dained to preach in his younger days, but
owing to ill health he did not enter upon
the work of the ministry. In December last
Mr.. Scott was re-ordained by Orange Pres
bytery at Raleigh, since which time he has
been preaching occasionally.
Mr. Scott is held in warm esteem by
those who know him in Henderson, and he
will no doubt have a very large congrega-
ton to hear him preach at the Presbyterian
church next Sunday morning.

WHArSoME TowNs DIE oF.-In the Har-

truthful aud sensible article. Read it:
More towns die for want of confidence
on the part of business men and lack Of
public spirit than from the rivalry Of neigh
boring towns or adverse surroundings
When a man in search Of home or bust
ness location goes to a town and fiuds ev-
erything brimful Of hope and enthusiasm
over the prospects Of the place and earnest

as a result he drives down his stakes and
goes to work with the same interest. When,
however, he GEES to q town and every one

OUR CONGRATULATIONS, BROTHER
WHICHARD.-Nothing affords the GOLD
LEAF more pleasure than the success and
prosperity of its brother publishers. When
the newspapers prosper we know their con-
stituents- the people in that section where
they are published-are in fiourishlng
condition. There is no truer index OF the
intelligence and business Of a community
than its newspaper. In this connection we
note with pleasure the fact that the Green
Vile Reflector, which editor D. j. Which,
ard has made one of the best weekly papers
in the State, has just entered upon its sth
volume under most favorable auspices. A
few years ago Mr.. Whichard became sole
owner and editor of the paper. He was a
young man both in years and experience as
a newspaper publisher, but he had brains.
energy and perseverance,. Soon after this
he contracted heavy debt (for country
editor) putting in cylinder printing press.
And u few weeks ago the last dollar of
this Indebtedness was paid of and now Mr..
Whichard is sole owner of his entire plant,
fact upon which he is to be heartily con.
graduated. Continued success to the Re-
sect0r and Editor Whichard.

The book is written in exactly such a
style as would be expected by practical

portrayed solely for the purpose of reliev-

disabusing the Northern mind of the falla.

"A Town Judged by Its Newspapers.
The Winston Sentinel agrees with what
the Wilmington Messenger says about a

patrons better paper, and the business

The GOLD LEAF WANTS Two-Says an
exchange: The editor Of the Lexington,
Ga, Echo announced, some time ago, that
he had become the lucky owner of a ''six
shooting, scattering shot gun" Crowds on
court days scatter when he is seen coming
over the hill down to the court house
square, and each individual subscriber
sneaks around the back alleys to the Echo
Office and settles his account. pinning the
reception the front of his hat. Two OF
three terms Of court and the "shot gun
policy" will speedily enrich the Echo.
