The GOLD LEAF does not claim to
be sweeping everything, but the large
number Of subscribers coming in con-
stantly is peculiarly gratifying to the
publisher, as is the very healthy in

is duty you owe as citizen, to vote,
and don't lose this right and privilege
by neglect. The result will be close,
this year, and your vote might decide
it, so attend to the matter at once.
If you have good thing, write,
about it, talk it up, adervertise
it. Intrinsic merit is all right; but
in this hustling and bustling age,

Mr.. w. II. Edwards, a native of this
section, who is largely interested in the
cultivation Of tobacco near Ringwood,
has been visitor to our market this
week. Mr.. Edwards tells us two hun

right around Ringwood this year, and
with good success. This is destined to
be an important industry in that Sec

The Goldsboro Headlight seems to
be enjoying a season of advertising
prosperity. It runs some Of the largest
and best displayed advertisements, and
more of them. of any paper that comes
to our office. We congratulate Editor
Roscower upon the appreciation placed
upon his paper by the live business
men of that thriving and progressive
town.

care cannot be taken in seeking to
avoid all unnecessary peril, and still
much carelessness is manifest. Some

more than this one the tax payers
would be much better off.
