The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-02-07


were in session Monday.
Among the recent patents granted is one
to Rev. Baylus Cade, Louisburg, Y. c..
for railway telegraph. This is for send
ing dispatches to and from moving trains
on the road. Mr.. Cade has been at work
on this invention for some time and at last
it seems to have been perfected.
The Detroit Free Press is distinguished
for its high class literature and humorous
reading, more amusing articles and funny
paragraphs being copied from it than any
other paper in America. We will club the
Free Press with the GOLD LEAF and send
the two papers together one year for s2.75.
There is not, anywhere, better location
for frst-class Touring mill than is Of
fered by Henderson. We have the wheat
and the market for the -four. And with a
large Touring mill established here Of
course there would be greater demand for
wheat, and this the farmers Of the ada
cent country would supply by planting
more.
Croakers to the contrary notwithstanding,
prospects for Henderson were never so
| bright as they are to-day, and on every
hand it is universally admitted that the
| coming summer will witness the greatest
boom the town has ever experimentation
excelling that of last year which was itself
simply wonderful and unprecedented in its
| past history.
I No finer opening is offered anywhere for
! f., nd 80 canning H.
ment The soil and climate are favorable
to the growth of all kinds of fruits and
vegetables and large quantities are pro-
duced annually. We want these put in the
proper condition for preservation for win
ter use. There is demand enough at home
to consume the output of a small canning
factory.
Messrs Lassiter, Stainback & Co., have
moved their stock of goods to the new Las
sitter Block, opposite Harris warehouse.
They occupy two rooms, in one of the hand
soonest buildings in town. With more room
and all enlarged stock the new firm 90 in
for a bigger business than ever before.
They are the men to do what they say and
the GOLD LEAF wishes them the greatest
success.
There is fine opening in Henderson for
fruit and vegetable canning establish
ment. The output of canned goods in this
country reaches yearly value of from
fifty to sixty millions of dollars. Fruits and
vegetables that would rot on the hands of
producers are thus saved and cheap food is
furnished to the poor throughout the year.
Such an enterprise would pay here, and it
could be started for little money.
You want more factories do you? You
want capitalists from distance to come in
and establish such enterprises, Ell? Well,
the best way to get them is to hold out
proper inducements. There are various
ways in which you can do this, but the
GOLD LEAF would suggest that good way
and generally in such things ourselves.
What do you say to this proposition?

sober and industrious, and we consider any
house fortunate in having him with them
The GOLD LEAF is not the largest paper
published in the State, but what it lacks in
size it hopes to make up in pith and point.
1t gives about as much reading matter as
any Of the larger weeklies and aims to
have that of a pure, wholesome and inter
| esting nature. How much it is apprecia-
ted is evidenced from the fact that its old
subscribers stay with it with now and
then an exception of course) and new ones
are constantly being added to its list.
Mr. H. &. Harris has accepted posi-
ton at Dorsey's drugstore. His many

one of the most competent men in his bust
