turn out Monday. If they do not con-
gregate under the circus tent they will
be on the street to see the parade 60

drawing out the populace.
! Walter H. Aycock, a former citizen
of Henderson, has taken the road as
a commercial salesman, representing
J. Leopold & Co., Baltimore, importers
and dealers in China, glassware, sc.
He YVES here this week interviewing
our merchants and reported good sales
since he Started out.
Will Young, who has for some time
/ been with II. Thomson as salesman,
took position with Harris, Gooch &
Co., the first of the month, and will
drum tobacco and make himself other
wise useful in the employment of that
popular warehouse firm in future. He
is hard worker and will no doubt
render good service in his new position.
Do not let us hide our light under a
bushel. Let us do all in our power for

Are you working, and advertising, and
pusing your name and business in out
of the way places and trying to secure
trade that you might as we'll have as
others? If not, whose fault is it?
The departure of Mr.. W. NJ. Hood,
of Henderson, who for a number of
months has been acting secretary of
the Y. M. G. A, will be sincerely re-
GREETED by the many warm friends he
has made during his work among US.
He left last night, and after spending a
few weeks in Henderson, will 90 to a
business college in Staunton, Va, to
study. The argus wishes him success
always.-Goldsboro Argus.
We have had the pleasure this week
of meeting DR.. H. H. Sergeant, Super
intendent Of Agencies of the Southern
Department of the Fidelity Mutual
Life Association, of Philadelphia, who
is here for awhile in the interest of his
company. A very agreeable and en-
tertaining gentleman he is and one
we'll versed in the principles of life in
surance. DR.. F. r. Harris is their
| medical examiner here.
S. & G.. Watkins do some plain,
straightforward talking in business
like way in our advertising columns
this week. They have a large and
splendid stock Of clothing, hats, shoes,
gents furnishing goods, &C., that fairly
surpasses all former efforts in that line
and invite buyers to inspect them.
You can not fail to find something to
please you no matter what you want.
Carefully read their advertisement and
then give them call.
Attention is called to the ADVERTISE
ment of E. w. Watkins offering val
liable tract of land situate in one mile
of Henderson for sale. This is the
we'll known Henry Hart place, on
which he made such fine crops of to-
bacco a few years ago. Last year Mr..
Watkins did equally as well consider
ing the tobacco did not bring as much,
and but for good reasons he would not
| dispose Of it, There are flue curing
| barns, pack house, tenant house, and
| an abundance of wood on the place.
Hight, the jeweller, has his eye on
you and looks you square in the face
from our advertising columns this week.
It is honest, open and clear-cut and
expresses all that we like to find in the
man we do business with. He invites
| you to cast your optics on his excel
lent line of watches, jewelry, spectacles,
&C., promising to give you as good and
reliable articles for the money as you
can ger anywhere. Repairing of fine
watches and fitting eye glasses spe-
cialty.
The GOLD LEAF has long been im-
pressed with the idea that few institu-
| tons are worth more to community
than building and loan associations,
when properly conducted. Practical
experience abundantly proves this.
Here is a case in point: The Tarboro
Southe,ner says that building and
loan association enabled that place to
open a tobacco market, build cheap
houses to rent and kept up two mercan-
tile houses during the dull summer
months.
Since the announcement was made
in these columns that Mr.. James D.
Elan had returned to his post at s. 4
C. Watkins many Of his friends and
customers have been to see him and
expressed their delight at seeing him
back again. They thought he ha6
gone for good not knowing that he was
at home sick. And very many have
shown their appreciation of his return
by the big bills Of goods they bought
of him. Everybody (almost) know:
Jim Elan and his friends love to trade
with him.
