Chance 10 Get a Fine Gold Hing,

Prof. II. 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 at Dor
sey's drug store, and with each bottle
purchased will be given al card with a
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 beauti-
full and costly one, and the person who
gets it will get a prize sure enough. 1t

store Announcement of the time Of
opening the tickets will be made in the

Come, Let us Reason Together and
Then Work Together.

The GOLD LEAF has earnestly and
persistently advocated every measure
calculated to promote the growth and
welfare of Henderson. and to this end
it has steadily advocated the organiza-
ton of Business Mems Association,
or a Chamber Of Commerce-just as
you are pleased to call it. We believe
Business Mems Association for the
furtherance of the business interests of
Henderson, is much needed factor in
the economy of its increasing prosper
ity and future progress. The wheel is
moving onward and should be caught
onto. There is tide in the affairs of
men-and cities-which taken at the
flood leads on to fortune. The mill
will never grind with the water that is
past. Let's be up and doing.
Although the year of 1889 was one
of general improvement in Henderson,
yet, as we begin the duties of 1890, we
should bear in mind that there is i'm
portant work which should be done
during this year.

Henderson During 1890.

Let us all Work this year with view
to building up Henderson and increas-
ing its industries and enterprises above
anything known in previous years.
The outlook is in every way encourag-
ing. Should the year 1890 show the
substantial and growing improvements
that marked the past year and there
is no good reason why it cLould not
Henderson will have made rapid prog
ress towards becoming a city Of con-
siderable commercial Importance. The
year lust closed marked the beginning
of an era in the histosy of our city and
will be placed on record as the year of
the towns greatest progress in the
matter of public and private enterprise.
The projected improvements for the
present year justify the prediction that
it will be characterized as the most
progressive of all the years of our city's
history. Now let our people settle
down to the undeniable fact that any
and all enterprises having for their OBJ
ject the building up of the city, muslin
the very nature of things, build up and
enhance the interests of every citizen.
This fact being conceded and acted
upon by each and all, then indeed
would Henderson move even more
tasty upward and onward. Patronize
its manufacturing enterprises, buy
home-sold dry goods, groceries, clothing
and home supplies of all kinds. Buy
land and build home, take shares in
the Building and Loan Association.
Institute merchants and manufac-
turer's club to induce new men to To-
cate here with new industries. Enter
terrain Corners who have new projects,
give them patient hearing, and if their
ideas be good, feasible ones, offer in
ducements for them to come and stay.
Don't send them away with bad idea
of our city, or the hospitality of our
merchants and business men.

"TRUTH APPLIED OR BIBLE
READINGS"
An Entertaining and Instructive Lit
tie Volume by Rev. II. G. Pearson.

From the Wilmington Messenger we
take the following which will be read
with interest by many of our readers
Truth Applied or Bible Readings" is
the title of the volume just sent out by
that admirable preacher and profoundly
pious servant of Christ, Rev. r. G. Pear
son, an evangelist after our own heart.
The volume is very neatly bound, the
type large and clear and the paper thick
1t contains pa pages. Wehave not had
time as yet to more than dip into it, but
what we read revealed that we had be-
fore us those most instructive and de-
ightful "Bible Readings" which he gave
in Wilmington last year, and some of
which it was our great privilege to hear.
Plain, direct, earnest, tender, sympathet-
ic, deeply scriptural are the characters
tics. We hope for several Sundays to
come to sit at the feet of this profound
student of the Holy Sciptures-theb blessed
Word of God-and learn from his lips
through the printed page some of those
lessons of VISIONS, of duty, of love, of
devotion to God that we heard with SO
much satisfaction, comfort, Joy and in
SEPARATION more than twenty months ago.
God bless Mr.. Pearson wherever he is,
wherever he goes! May his precious vol
ume prove a great blessing to tens of
thousands OF his countrymen, and be a
means of bringing a great multitude to
the Cross of the Redeemer, the Son of
God.
For the information of those of our
readers who may wish to know more
about the work above referred to. or
to purchase copy of it. we will state
that it is published by the Cumberland
Presbyterian Publishing House of
Nashville, Tenn. We do not know the
price, but postal card addressed as
above will ascertain full particulars.
Since writing the above we find the
following reference to the same work in
a more recent issue of the Messenger:
We do not know how the published
volume of Rev. r. G. Pearson is selling,
but after reading six of the "Bible Read
ings" We say this, that it is avolume well
calculated to do great good, and deserves
place on table ofevery devout, believing
heart christian worker. The Readings"
are eminently plain. earnest, close, thor
oughly Scriptual. They are close but not
closer than Gods blessed Word. They
are very spiritual and enjoyable. Read
the one on " Pure Religion" and live up
to it, and you are as certain of Heaven
after this life ends as that God is God
OF truth and love and mercy. We can see
the great preacher and hear that won

1t Is Not just Nor is IL Business.

The Advertisements of all the ware
houses in Winston are printed in the
Weekly. That market is flooded with
tobacco. None of the Reidsville ware
houses have advertisements in this
paper, and they are not having more
than they can handle. Yet the Weekly
is expected to blow about the superiori-
ty of the Reidsvine tobacco market.
Our home warehousemen are losing
ground by this course. The Weekly is
doing its duty by Reidsville, but it can
not make up for the shortcomings of its
business men.-ReidsriNe Weekly.
There is food for thought in the
above. A newspaper can do great
deal for its town in the way of drawing
trade to it by keeping constantly before
the public its advantages as trading
pointer buying OF selling-but it
cannot do all, nor should it be expected
to do so. There is work for the bust
ness men to do also, in helping it to
show up to best advantage the towns
industries and resources.

For Profit and Pleasure

The GOLD LEAF has heretofore sug-
gested the propriety of organizing lit
erary society for the mutual pleasure
and profit of the young people. We
know of nothing that would be produc-
tive of more good at this season of the
year. The long winter evenings are up
on us and it would be well for young
people especially to find some profitable
amusement with which to occupy time
which might otherwise be- employed in
manner at once disadvantageous to
both their morals and their future in
terests. There are many ways i'll
which this may be done, but we think
of none more fitting than well-con-
Quoted literary society. In these meet
ings there might be debates, essays,
music, etc. Each in turn develops,
elevates and refnes the mind, and
nothing perhaps so fits the young for
the battles of life and the positions
which they may occupy in society.
One becomes accustomed to speak in
public and without embarrassment,
while to gather material for debates
and essays he must delve deep into
books of learning, and is greatly pro-
flied thereby. A knowledge of parlia-
mentary rules is acquired, which, alone,
is transferable Importance. In short,
the benefits to be obtained from such
societies are many, and the time spent
performing the duties which they re-
quire is proftably Employed Who
will move in this direction The
GOLD LEAF merely throws out the
suggestion for the general good. 1t
wishes to benefit its young friends as
well as others.

A Look in the Past and Glance ut
the Future.


A Look in the Past and Glance at
the Future.
While it may be little late for a
retrospect of the year of 1889, in view
of the fact that the past year has been
a very prosperous one for our little
city, we cannot allow the opportunity
to pass without saying something in
regard to the years improvement. In
the mercantile limo we find that our
merchants have been very busy through
out the year and the aggregate of their
sales are very gratifying; they have
been increasing the amour: of goods in
stock and are carrying much better
quality. In every branch of trade we
find noticeable improvement, and the
outlook for 1890 is brighter than for
many years past. Many importan
improvements have been made, of
which we cannot speak in detail. There
has probably never been year in the
history of Henderson in which so many
dwelling houses have been erected,
manufacturing enterprises established,
and buildings of all classes improved
as during 1889. The contractors were
employed throughout the entire year,
and the many neat, new dwellings and
buildings of other kinds give evidence
to the fact, which is highly pleasing to
those of our citizens who are progress
sive and go-ahead. In a summing up
of the business and Improvements OF
1889 we have a very gratifying and en-
couraging gain over any previous year,
and the outlook for 1890 is still more
hopeful.
