S. Black, Presiding Elder OF this district,
will be here next Sunday and conduct the
first quarterly meeting.
1t is expected that the Durham & Hen
derson railroad will be completed by the
end of this month. Bad weather has great
" interfered with work on this road or
it would have been finished before now.
Our dealers who made special provision
for the holiday trade in the line OF toys,
fancy articles, fireworks, ETC.. have very
little stock left on hand. This is crafty
ing. 1t shows that they bought judiciously
and had a good trade.
Says the Germantown IndependeM:
What turkeys are left, if they have a
knowledge of current events, may know
how to sympathize with the Democratic
party. Both have encountered the enemy
and have come within an ace OF being
theirs.
A. 4. Angela has moved his stock OF
boots, shoes, hats, ETC., to the room in the
Reavis building lately occupied by Bur
we'll s. Co. Here he will continue to carry
large and complete assortment of goods
In his limo and invites bis friends and Gus
toners to call and see him. Mr.. Anglea S
old stand will be used for the new bank.
1t is now being fitted up for the purpose.
The Durham Recorder reminds US of a
duty to our less fortunate fellow creatures
in that of helping them in the time of need.
1t says:
AS the winter season advances it might
be we'll for the benevolent minded to look

worthy poor whom they could benefit in the
way Of ralment or food, and remember that
God loves the cheerful giver.
A fine fat gobbler, the gift of Constable
J. II. Malone, contributed toward making
up the Christmas dinner for the GOLD
LEAF household. OF course the present
was highly appreciated, and to say that it
was richly enjoyed after receiving the care
full attention of our chief cook, goes with
out saying. May the Constable never fail
to catch a would-be evader Of justice upon
whose track he once gets started.
The Wilmington Messenger states a fact
clearly when it says: when the business
men of town fail to advertise, they di-
minish the importance and trade of the
place and permit more enterprising locali-
ties to take it from them. Although done
for their Individual interests, advertisers
should be looked upon by the citizens of
the town where they reside as public bene-
factors, and they should be encouraged &C
cordingly."
DR.. f. r. Harris was the first man we
wrote a receipt for running into 1890. He
came into our Office Monday saying he
wanted to start the New Year right aud he
knew no better way Of doing it than by re-
newing his subscription to the GOLD LEAF
and paying year in advance. And al
though his time was not out until the 18th
inst, we could not be SO unobliging as not
and so good friend.
The holiday season has afforded unusual
enjoyment for lovers of the dance. Friday
evening there was very pleasant hop at
Burwell Hall, followed Monday evening
by grand Leap Year ball. Then again
last night there was another hop. The la
dies never looked more charming or ap-s
peared more gracious, while the gentle
man were as gay and gallant as could be.
A number Of visiting ladies and gentleman
added lustre and enjoyment to the occasion
by thelr presence each evening.
We are getting somewhat anxious about
our friend Joe Robinson of the Goldsboro
Argus. We have advised ms mcmony for
him but he appears to be "bau lot" We
had thought him almost beyond hope, and
yet there are some encouraging signs, u His
bachelor heart is beginning to melt evil
IDENTIFY and he is coming to- at last
Hear him:
There is no Winter so cold and cherries
az the winter Of the heart It's snow
and ice never melt. It's Spring time of
budding hopes and its Summer of fruit and
flower come not back again.
Newspapers may rise Gin Henderson,
and newspapers may fall, but the GOLD
LEAF goes on just the same. The pub
Usher rolls up his sleeves and enters upon
the new year and new volume with de-
to wage more vigorous cam
paign of business endeavOr and to place
the GOLD LEAF upon a higher plane of
usefulness and prosperity than has yet
its seven years career. Let
its friends interest themselves more in its
behalf and our aims and aspirations will
be greatly augmented.
Here is hint to business men. lis from
Printers Ink, neat little publication that
comes to us from New York City:
Nothing venture, nothing have" is Just
as true maxim in advertising as in any
other line Of business neither more nor
less true. 1t is impossible that all adver-
Using should succeed, however we'll de-
vised it is impossible that all should fail,
if it be we'll conducted. The concurrence
of good fortune with good management lies
at the root of success i'll every enterprise.
The risk of good or bad success must be
taken.
The GOLD LEAF is i'debted to its kins-
man Mr.. E. L. C.saanning. Of N; .rfolk,
together with Mr.. James E. Barnes, whole.
sale and retail dealer in oysters, for the
present Of bucket of luscious biyalves
Christmas. To say the gift was highly APP
preciated would be superfluous. Who
does>dOt enjoy rich fry or delicious
stew Of oysters? and when they are such
fine ones as only Mr.. Manning would Sc
lect, and of the kind only that Mr.. Barnes
sells. present of this kind is to be doubly
appreciated and enjoyed.
