Akron has 100 factories that employ s.
500 men. The match output last year
grain 5000 600 bushels were ground up.
This is what makes live towns and cities.

JAMES A. ROBINsOS.-The GOLD LEAF

Robinson from the Durham Recorder and
Southern 7'obacconsst. He has been asso-
ciate editor of these publications little
more than year, during which time he
did good work for Durham and the State at
large. Mr.. Robinson announces that he is
open for engagement, and he is too good a
newspaper writer for his graceful and YER
satile pen to be lOpg idle. We hope to
soon see him at work again on some good
paper whose field of usefulness is common
surate with his splendid talents.

Oh For A LITTLE MORE OF THAT SORT

cooling and ventilating railroad cars and

of dwellings, is in the city. Mr.. Proctor
is here to-day for the purpose of organizing
the company and the Stockholders will
meet to-day at The Orion. Some of our
most prominent business men and success
full mechanics have evidenced their conf
dence in this enterprise by subscribing to
its stock. - Wilmington Messenger.
Oh for little more of this sort of spirit
in Henderson !. We need more co-opera-
ton On the part of our business and money
ed men. Individual enterprise we have as
much of as any town in the State-the GOLD
LEAF warrants that-but there is not such
an exercise of public spirit Of the broad
gagged, liberal minded, progressive kind
we want to see. And as sure as fate
this must come Or Henderson can never he
the really prosperous and growing town
that we all so much want to see. We must
encourage manufactures, offer some in
ducements to persons with capital anG ex-
perience to come and locate and carry on
their operations in our midst. While we
are standing still other towns are going
ahead of us.

GRAND CoNCERT.-Do not fail to attend
the grand concert at Burwell Hall next
Tuesday evening. An attractive pro-
gramme has been arranged for the occa
sion, as will be seen by reference to
another column, and a very pleasant en-
ttrtainment is promised. 1t could not be
anything else when such an array of talent
is presented.
Miss Arnold, whom DR.. Lafferty Of
Richmond says, is the most finished elocu-
zionist in his knowledge, having completed
the course under the finest teachers of elO-
time a teacher in the city of Richmond,
will add great interest to the entertain
ment.
Miss Porter, of Tarboro, one of North
Cardinals sweetest vOcalists and young
lady of rare personal charms, will also be
present and take part in the concert.
Miss Hester, a vocal teacher in the Hen
derson Female College, and great favor
lite with our audiences, will add charm
to the occasion. She needs no praise at
our hands, and the fact that she will sing
will of itself be sufficient inducement to
cause many people to 60 to hear her. Both
these ladies were students under the finest
vocal teachers in New York City.
Miss Hudgins, of Oxford, who won the
honors as vocalist at Greensboro Female
College, has kindly consented to be present
and take part in the entertainment also.
Miss Young, of Petersburg, a teacher of
music in the Henderson Female College, is
announced on the programe also. She is a
talented musician and will add greatly to
| the success of the occasion.
Miss Smoot, one Of our most popular and
highly accomplished musicians, will also
contribute to the enjoyment of the even

Henderson her presence and participation
in anything of the kind adds both lustre
and success.
Prof. Savage, formerly principal of the
Graded School of Raleigh, now in charge
of Henderson Male Academy, will also
take part in the entertainment. Prof. Saw
age displays talent of high order and ha:
won an enyiable reputation as an elocu
zionist.
From the above it will be seen that al
entertainment of rare merit may be ex
pected. That it will be a very pleasant
and entertaining affair 1ie GOLD LEAF ha:
