NORTH CAROLINA is one of the best
States in the Union, yet it is not at
tracing half the attention that It
should. With her vast timbered and
mineral wealth, unequalled water
lower, great natural resources and adj
vantages of soil and climate, she ought
to be one of the very first in the sister
hood of States, in population and
wealth. Here active out door work
can be done every month in the year,
while in the Northern and Western
States the snow and extreme cold pre-
vent this for from four to six months.
And as yet North Carolina has no,
made serious inroads upon her vast
natural resources. Her forests are yet
to be leveled, her mines developed and
worked, and her broad acres subdued
and cultivated. Come to North Caro-
lima, then and help in this grand work
Lands are cheap and living as reason
able and pleasant here as anywhere ii
the world.

I'D 4 GENEROUS INDEED.

Week before last the GOLD LEAF
had something to say on patronizing
home industries, wherein we took &C.
casion to refer to the excellent work
of the Goldsboro Furniture Company,
and tine fact that some Of the leading
hotels Of the State are being furnished
with goods manufactured by this con-
Germ. This prompts Joe Robinson the
big-hearted and big-brained young ed
itor of the Goldsboro Argus, to say:
The generosity of the GOLD LEAF
in giving SO handsome and valuable a
notice as the above to Goldsboro en-
terprise, that is going forward rapidly
to ever increasing prosperity on its
merits, is sincerely appreciated by our
people and they so express themselves
on every hand. Indeed, Thad Man
ming, the energetic, talented and man
ly editor of the GOLD LEAF, possesses
in full measure that broad and entirely
unbiased spirit OF State pride that stands
ever in the watch tower to chronicle
progress and encourage merit wherever
found within the borders of our State,
while at the same time sparlng no ef-
fort to make his own town the garden
spot Of the earth. And truly has the
GOLD LEAF done, and is still accom-.
plishing, great things for Henderson
1t is paper that deserves to be read
by every flreside in our Commonwealth
in order that its words of cheer anc
its progressive views and wholesome
morality and nobility of purpose may
have the fullest sweep, as they SO wei
deserve, in the wool of Our people:
| destinies.
We only wish the GOLD LEAF wa
in fact filling such a mission as i
here ascrlbed to it, and that our home
folks appreciated its labors more. Il
that event it would indeed be in
measure accomplishing for its section
and State the good that it aims to dc
Paraphrasing Burns,
o, wad some power the giftie gle us
TO make home folks likewise see us.

TO THEGOOD OF ALL.

Now is the time for every property
owner, and every other person inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity Of
Henderson, to get down to work and
bend every effort toward the advance
ment of the towns interests. There
is no call for luke-warmness on the
part of any. 1t is the duty and the
business of every citizen to help the
town on in every possible way. The
interest of one is the interest of all,
and that which benefits one benefits
all.
There is no room for feeling Of ri
valry. The efforts of no one must be
deprecated or hindered, no matter
where or in what quarter they are
made, so long as they are to the towns
advancement and good. In union
there is strength. Towns are built by
the united, concentrated efforts of the
people.
Encourage capital. 1t is necessary
to the success Of any undertaking and
the more we get the better. We can't
have too much of it. Let it come
from whence it will and locate how and
where it will, welcome it to the good
and glory of the entire town and the
country around.
Henderson is but just entering upon
its era of true greatness and prosperity,
and as the years swing by its fame will
spread out from sea to sea and from
lake to gulf, and thousands who now
know nothing of the place will hear
and come to see for themselves, and
seeing will be believing, and believing
will be the cause of many stopping and
locating permanently with us. There
is magnificent future for this place,
and each succeeding year sets it away
to the front.
All we ask for is perfect unanimity
among ourselves--a steady, earnest
pulling together for one common pur-
pose, and the encouragement Of every
enterprise that is calculated to add to
the at:ractiveness or progress Of the
place. That is the manner after which
cities are built.
Nature knew her business when she
made HendersOn-or rather the site
for it-and it remains for our citizens
to do the rest. Let US then improve
our every opportunity.

Mrs. Maybrick, the beautiful
Young woman from Mississippi,
who has been on trial in England
for the murder of her husband,
was last week convicted and SEN
fenced to be hung. The case is
causing a great deal of excitement
both in Europe and America. In
English Law there is no appeal, in
capital cases, from the Trial by
Jury. Owing to irregularities in
her trial she seems to be the DOOM
ed victim of an inefficient legal
system, and a howl of indignation
is going up against the system.
The fair convict has only one re-
course for her life, an appeal to the
Crown, aud as she has the sympa-
thy of the world, petitions are be-
ing circulated in her behalf almost
everywhere.

Magazine of American His

tory.
The Magazine of American His
tory for August is model of ele-
gance, and as usual the number is
well filled with admirably writ
ten and valuable papers. DIR. Ev-
erett's Earliest American People"
touches upon a theme..dear to ey-
cry antiquarian reader, and it is
so presented as to interest alike
the old and the young, the wise
and the unlearned. "England's
Struggle with the American Col
onies," by DR.. William M. Taylor,
scholarly article of different
character, is one of the prominent
features of the number. The en-
inent author traces the events in
England, the needless misunder-
standings, and the crude mistakes
which led to the war of the RevO-
luton, and bestowed upon the col
onics their independence, and he
does it with such skill, intelligence
and power, that fresh life is infus-
ed into the narrative, and one OF
the best condensed accounts of this
part of our history eXtant is the
result. Hon. j. o. Dickman con-
cludes his series of papers of "The
Last Twelve Days of Major An
DIRE" in this number. j. p. Dunn,
Jr., contributes "The Founding of
Post Vincemes," and Mr.. William
S. Pelletreau writes of "The Phil
Ups Patent in the Highlands" furn-
ishing portraits Of Col. and Mrs.
Roger Morris, and an interesting
map. Mrs. Lambs opening arti-
Gle is a vigorous pen-picture of
the "Career of a Benificent Enter
prise,"-nOw one hundred and
four years old-"rhe General
Society of Mechanics and Trades
men, and this delightful paper
is profusely illustrated. A pOr-
ton of the brilliant address of
President Merrill E.. Gates Of Rut-
gers College, to the class of 1889,
appears in these pages, entitled
"Life and it's Activities-the bear
ing of the Past on the Present
and Future; and there is beau
tiful attribute to Mrs. Rutherford
B. Hayes" from the Editor. The
frontispiece of the number is an
excellent portrait of Alexander
Hamilton. "The Wit and Wisdom
of Keokuk, Chief of the Sacs and
Foxes" is one of the short arti-
cles; and an unpublished Wash
nigtOn letter is given to the reader
in Original Documents. All the
