a F1uSfses ssFf.rr Necessity

Happening into the office of Messrs.
W. II. Smoot & Co. few days ago
our attention was attracted to the type
writer used by Mr.. Arthur Smoot. and
upon which he was doing some cores
pondence. While we have often seen
this and other machines of its kind we
had not enquired into the particulars
concernings them and observed their
working as we did with Mr.. Shoots.
Naturally taking a pride in his type
writer. in the use of which he has per-
lected himself so as to make correspon-
dcnce somewhat Of the nature OF
pastime and pleasure rather than a
tedious and tiresOme duty, he very
kindly explained all its mechanism and
operation to us. The machine used by
Mr.. SmOOt is Remington Standard
typewriter, and it is what its name
implies-the Standard. For speed and
durability it stands at the head, while
it is unequaled for ease Of manipulation
and quality of work. So popular have
type writers become that no business
office is considered complete without
one-they are in fact to the business
office and counting room what the
sewing machine is to the household.
The Remington has a record OF 81
words per minute, which is long
way ahead of the steel pen.
This is an age of progress, and the
business man who would keep up with
the procession must adopt new modes
and methods for the more rapid and
satisfactory performance of his duties.
AS the powerful and swiftly moving
locomotive is to the ancient stage
coach the electric telegraph to the
horseback messenger boy; the electric
light to the old fashioned tallow candle;
the lightning printing machine to the
old time hand lever press, so the type
writer has preference over the steel pen
and bottle of ink in the Office Of the
man of business who is up with the
times. If the advantage and superiority
of these little machines were fully I'M
derstood and appreciated we are quite
sure their use would be more generally
adopted in our midst. Mr.. Smoot will
take pleasure in showing his machine
and giving particulars concerning it to
any who may be interested on the sub
ject.

ONE OF THE BEST wEEKLIES IN THE
STATE.

STATE.
The Henderson GOLD LEAF, one of
the best weeklies in the State, has en-
tered its ninth year, and celebrated the
event by charging to thirty-two col
umns. We extend our congratulations
and best wishes for success.-Nonroe

PRESENTS HANDSOME APPEARANCE.
The Henderson GOLD LEAF, in en-
tering upon its ninth volume, enlarged
TO eight columns and presents a hand
some appearance. 1t contains much
valuable information in regard to Hen
derson and an admirable write-up of
D. Y. Cooper, one of her most success
full business men, accompanied by an
illustration of pimself and his buildings.
We are glad to know that Thad Man
ming is doing so well with his paper.

THE NAKED TRUTH WITHOUT ABATE
MENT.
| The Henderson GOLD LEAF. OF
which Mr.. Thad r. Manning is editor
and proprietor, comes out in an en-
larged form and now consists of col
umns to the page, instead of I as here
tofore. We have frequently spoken OF
the excellence of the GOLD LEAF as a
newspaper, but what we have said has
fallen far below the real merits of the
paper, according to the present STYLES
of expression. 1t was always our mis-
fortune to be behind the times in the
use of adjectives, but what we say is
intended for the naked truth without
abatement-theG GOLD LEAF is an eX.
cellent paper, and if Henderson should
at any time lose sight Of the fact, il
will be the loser by it. Success tc
"Thad'' and his good work.-G Green's

E Chance TO Gsl.-a Fine Gold Ring.

Prof. H. H. Bell, proprietor of the Eu-
reka Scalp Cleaner and Hair Purifier, a
preparation which is endorsed by many
of the best citizens who have used it, by
way of inducing Others to try it also, has
hit upon the following idea: He has
placed his preparation on sale'a Dor
sey's drug store, and with each bottle
purchased will be given a card with
plumber on it. One of these numbers
will correspond with the number on a
handsome six-stone diamond ring which
will be given as a prize to the holder OF
the lucky number. The ring is a beauti-
full and costly one, and the person who
gets it will get prize sure enough. 1t
can be seen by calling at Dorsey's drug
store. Announcement of the time OF
opening the tickets will be made in the
GOLD LEAF later.

Farmers. do you know how to put up
ensilage, the best and cheapest OF all
stock feeds? If not, make a visit to
Young & Daingerfeld's dairy farm
near town and see theirs. This is their
first experience, and well informed
gentleman from Pennsylvania pro-
nounces it the finest ensilage he ever
saw anywhere. This is the feed of the
future and its use will be generally
adopted as soon as people know more
about its value and the ease and cheap
ness with which it can be put up.
We ask Mr.. Young to give the pub
lie the benefit of his experience and
knowledge on the subject through the
columns of the GOLD LEAF. We want
to arouse the farmers on this subject.

The post office matter has taken a
different turn since Mr.. Hicks refused
to take the negro Pope in. Congress
man Cheatham proposes to GUST Hicks
and put in another man. The reason
assigned, as it goes out from Washing

ton presumably to the patrons Of the
office), but the real trouble is explained
above. What a pitable state of affairs

A Strong and Eloquent appeal.

patch appears an article written by Mr..
W. r. Henry, of Henderson. 1t is an
appeal for the remains of Jefferson Da-
Wis to find permanent resting place in
the city Of Richmond, the capital of
the Southern Confederacy. We pub
lish the article in this paper. It is
written in Mr.. Henry's usual style,
strong, vigorous, graceful, eloquent,
classical, and the sentiments therein
expressed will find hearty response in
the minds and hearts of thousands of
persons throughout North Carolina.
Mr.. Henry pays high and merited
tribute. to the bravery, fortltude and
herOism of North Cardinals soldiers,
and speaking as he does through her
representative newspaper in the heart
of Virginia, for their claims, he de-
serves our special thanks.

Success from the Start.
The Henderson Tobacco Company,
of Henderson, n. c., has been sue
cess ever since it came into the hands
of Messrs. Daingerield & Jenkins.
The first named gentleman has severed
his connection with the Bank of Hen
derson as cashier. and will hereafter
devote all his time to his growing smok-
ing tobacco business. -DanutUe Tobdc-
| co Journal.
This shows what pluck and enter
prise will do, and the success of these
gentlemen demonstrates the fact that
there is no better point for the manu-
facture of the finest grades of smoking
tobacco, as this paper has always main
tanned. To such proportions has their
business grown that the services OF
Capt. Daingerfeld (who heretofore has
not been an active member of the con-
Germ owing to his engagement as cash
Ter of the Bank of Henderson, were
needed in looking after and pushing. il
and he resigned his position in the bank
as already stated to give his entire
time and attention to his manufactur.
ing business. AS the Journal says, the
Henderson Tobacco Company has been
a success from the start, but we look
for new life and still greater prosperity
to characterize its future course.
| And in this connection We wish t.
say that while wishing Capt. danger
field the greatest success in the prose
cution Of his own private business, thu
friends of the Bank of Henderson cal
but regret that he has severed his con
nection with that institution. A flint
business man, land genial and accom-
plished gentleman, he not only made
friends for himself but for the bank
and had become to be regarded as vel
nigh one of the indispensables Of tina
concern. But Capt. Daingerfeld ha
most worthy and acceptable successo
in the person of his brother, as alread,,
announced, and difficult as it may ap
pear we doubt not the new cashier will
prove himself no less capable and pop
ular. Our best wishes are with al
concerned.
