The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-04-25
Henderson,.

The visit OF the Durham Tobacco Asso-
citation to Henderson on Monday last,
and cordial reception rendered to the To-
bacco Association and citizens of that
town marks new epoch in the history
OF that town, and Dnrham-an epoch of
the friendliest relations. May it ever
continue thus!
1t would have done the heart of every
Durhamite good, and filled it with patri-
otto pride, to have heard Col. Burgwyn
| and Mr.. Henry, in their admirable re-
| marks, portray the thrift, energy and
| push, characteristic OF our people and
| their complimentary illusions to our va
riOus Industries and enterprises. The
Sun, in behalf OF Durham, returns it's
heartiest thanks to all of the speakers
for their warm words OF praise concern
ing our town, which are appreciated
more than pen can express. Especially
do we thank Mr.. Henry for his honest
| words concerning the press of the two
! towns. They We're manly words, but
nothing more than the press deserved
We would tell him that the press of Hen
derson and Durham is the palladium OF
| these two thrifty towns. The GOLD LEAF
| is the pride OF our people; and on the
| outer wall where the .>rn shines brightest.
| we Pant our banners, in order that q
| faithful Recorder may note the energy of
| the Southern Ibbncuoaist.
The 81" takes this opportunity of
thanking the GOLD LEAF, in behalf of our
citizens, for the kind illusions it was
pleased to make in its last issue concern
ing Durham. Our people appreciate kind
words, brother Manning; and kind words
| never die.
| Henderson moves onward and upward
with a steady growth Henderson has
liberal-hearted business men who are ca
pable of building wisely and well. Hen
dersOn has the true pluck and push to
move her forward Visited not long since
| by Il destructive fire that swept away uIl-
slightly wooden buildings upon her main
| thoroughfare, what do we now see upon
their ash-heaps? Handsome blocks OF
brick buildings, as neat as any in the
Stale. This is the greatest evidence OF
Henderson, S nterprise-wherever the fire
has licked up the buildings neater and
more modern structures have arisen
| They line her streets. There is push in
Henderson from the word "gOr'-anG
"go!" is continually sounding Greatly
improved private residences; beautiful
brick churches, of modern structure with
graceful spires: large brick warehouses
y
advantages are some of the shining lights
OF the progressive town we have so re
Gently come into a closer bond of uniol
with by the completion of the Durham {
Northern railroad.
The Sun now invites Henderson tt
come over and see her prosperous sister
Durham. Ride on our street cars; drinl
the refreshing water that flows through
our town; read our daily papers, morn
ing and evening; and stroll around be
meath our electric lights: smoke ant
chew Durham manufactured tobacco ant
cigars-in fact, make themselves perfectly
at home Our hearts are warm and opel
to receive them cordially Sun.
