THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF

bear in mind the big auction sale of
900 hogsheads of fine, redricd, bright |
tobacco, of all kinds. at the Henderson
Storage Warehouse on July 3lst. Sam
pies guaranteed by bonded inspector,
and purchases delivered f. 0. b. This
will be the biggest thing Of the kind
ever known in the State.
Here is the way they help to swell
the census returns over in Granville.
The Oxford Public Ledger says:
Old Granville is not behind by any
means on increasing the population.
Mrs. w. F. Hart presented her hus-
band with three bouncing boys on Mon
day, and we are pleased to learn that
Mrs. Hart and the boys are doing well.
The Henderson Tobacco Board Of
Trade have sent invitations to all the
large manufacturers and dealers
throughout the United States to attend
the big sale of fine bright tobacco at
the storage warehouse July 3lst. At
least 200 hogsheads will be offered
and such an opportunity to purchase
such desirable stock direct from the
first hands will doubtless be fully i'm
proved.
| The census enumeratOrs are re-
ducing the population of good many
towns and cities. but Henderson holds
her own. We have claimed 1900 or
1850 population for a year or more,
and the official returns show that we
were not far from correct. 4,l51 is
the number within the corporate limits,
and if we include all who rightfully be-
long to the town, and who live here
and own property and do business in
side the corporation, but whose homes
are outside the magic circle as it were
; there are at least 5000 people here.
When you begin to talk about the
railroad you hear great deal said
about taXes-increasing the taxes, &c.
Now for fact all this amounts to
nothing, when you come down to the
facts. To levy taxes for the general
purposes of the town government, in
Guiding electric lights and water works
as well as for the Durham & Northern
, Railroad, and the Nash county road
, will take only about IS cents on the
600 worth of property. No live, pro
gressive town in the State has a ia,
near so small.
f The big sale Of hogshead tobacco
here OH the 31st inst, will be the mos
j important event of the kind not onl,
e in the history of Henderson but of thu
4 State. Our inspection warehouse i
n the only one in North Carolina, ant
r this sale will be something new in thes
parts. The entire Board af Trade viii
cooperate to make it a great success
. in every way. There will be buyer
l here from all over the United States
: and such an advertisement as it vii
+ be for our town and market is some
{ thing that the GOLD LEAF feels par
II donable pride in.

white hands will be employed in facto
