compiet>ly Destroyed
Shortly before two O'Clock this morn
ing the sharp and rapid changing Of
the FIRE bell and the hideous footing Of
the engines in the Baltimore and Ohio
wards disturbed the slumbers Of nearly
every citizen in Martinsburg. The
alarm was occasioned BY the burning
Of 4 frame boiler house connected with
Parks elevator on Commerce street,
and the flames had gained consider
able Roadway before they were discov-
cred. Although the fire department
turned out quite promptly and render
some valuable service toward keeping
the flames from connecting with the
adjoining buildings, the small build
ing was completely destroyed: The
structure vas l5x22 feet ii ne with
al non roof, aid protected the boiler
from the weather. Fortunately the
engine was not in the same building,
otherwise the loss would have been
heavier. Mr.. Parks says that his loss
win not exceed 5000, which viii be
total, as there was no insurance.
Mr.. Parks had all his other buildings
fully covered but did not think that il
was necessary TO insure this small
building as it was forty feet from the
main elevator. The fire win interfere
with Mr.. Parks business for two days
at very rushing time.

Beginning with the new tobacco year,
from now on matters pertaining to the
Henderson tobacco market will be
given conspicuous notice in these col
umns. Our readers will be kept in
formed as to the receipts, sales and
prices paid and it will be our endeavor
to make our reports as truthful and
reliable as, possible. We do not mean
| to mislead any one by false representa-
tions or undue Boosting. Watch the
! course of the GOLD LEAF and Judge
| for YOURSELF:
Sales of tobacco have been heavy
again this week. All the roads seem
to lead to Henderson, ana every road
has been filled for the past month with
! tobacco wagons loaded for the Hender-
| son warehouses. Prices on all grades
are fully sustained and there is some
| advance prices being paid for fine colory
grades which are very scarce. Not
withstandlng our common crop, all
visiting buyers agree that the sales that
they see OH the Henderson floors sur
pass all other points both in quality
! and color. Old tobacco is now being
taken eagerly by our buyers at full
prices with an active demand. No
market furnishes the seller more adj
vantages than Henderson and we bid
/ them come. Everything is ready.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Mr.. Harry Weisiger, Of Louisville,
KY, was on our sales last week. He
is among the most genial Of the tobacco
craft and one of the largest buyers of
bright wrappers in United States. Mr..
W. II. Walker represents his company
upon this market.
W. G. Poindexter, the live, wide
awake wrapper buyer of p. j. Sors Co.,
Of Middletown, Ohio, was on the breaks
this week. Mr.. P. is one of the most
progressive young business men in the
trade. He is fine judge Of tobacco
and knows what suits his wants. It is
pleasing to meet such men and we well
Mr.. 2. to our market at all times.
L. L. Strause, Of Richmond, was a
live bidder on the sales this week.
Henderson trade always have a good
word for the Strause family as they
are among our most progressive bust
ness people. Their business here is
represented by that prince Of good
fellows n. 2. Strause.
The great DR.. Boerhaave left three di-
rections for preserving the health keep
the feet warm, the head cool and the bow
els open. Had he practiced in our day he
might have added: and purify the blood
with Ayers Sarsaparilla; for he certainly
would consider it the best.

Lowanda's Refined Novelty Company.
1t is hardly necessary to speak in
! commentator of Prof. Lowanda' s
World Of Wonders. He has been here
and our theatre-goers know what his
show is. And it has been greatly
strengthened since then and is better
this season than ever before. The H.
dependent-Journal, of Feb. 18th, pub
lished at Alamosa, Colorado, says:
Professor Lowanda last evening
broke the gloom which has been so
long hanging over the Alamosa stage.
The room was crowded. There was
mirth, music and mystery that had
been promised. Prof. Lowanda is a
delightful exponent of legerdemain.
He seems to enjoy his own tricks as
much as the audience and is charmingly
in accord both with the children and
the "grown ups'' His sleight-ofhand
is as good as they make it. AS for
Psyche, and the marvellous mind read
ing of Mrs. Lowanda we are forced to
pass. We cannot comprehend it; unless
the shade of Irving Bishop and the
double of Maskelyne and Cook are fol-
lowing up the show.
At Burwell Hall, Friday and Satur-
day evenings, October 23rd and Oath.
Reserved seats 35 cents. On sale at
Cheatham's Drug Store.
The appearance of the Blumenburg
Concert Company, here November 9th,
will be an event of unusual interest to
all music lovers among our citizens.
This is one of the very finest combina-
tions of musical artists now travelling.
Lowanda, the magician who created
such sensation and drew such large
crowds with his gift concert few years
ago, is booked for an engagement at
Burwell Hall Friday and Saturday
nights.

VERY CREDITABlE INDEED.
Some Work OF Pupils of the Col
loOe

We have been shown some specimens
OF free hand drawing done by the pupils
of the College. These drawings are made
from the objects themselves and not from
other pictures taken on a fat surface
and are in our Judgment most excellent,
evincing as they do, not only great skill
in the young tyros, but promise. OF
greater things in the future. These exer-
cises given every day in the college at no
extra charge, by most accomplished
artist, are of great advantage and must
! develop whatever latent talent there
may be in the community. Some OF this
free hand work done by the Misses Lam
dis, Bullock, kerner, Stephens, Allen,
Shaw and Currin, displays great skill
and accuracy and reflects credit on the
painstaking pupil no less than on the &C
cOmpl.shed and patient teacher, Miss
English.
This feature is only one OF the many
that commend the College to favor and
patronage and we trust our young peo-
pie will see the advantage and impor-
tance of awaiting themselves of this OPP
portunity.
The 'llege, we are glad to hear, is
growing Il, numbers and favor. The last
accessions are Miss Chapman, of Mary
land, and Miss Scott, of Virginia. The
College deserves and should receive the
heartiest support OF Henderson and the
surrounding country.

assistance but so far has been with.
out it and is doing all the preaching
himself. The services arc held only
at night.
The family of Mr.. John VI. Reayis,
one of our successful farmers living
near town, was increased in number
just two Monday morning. Twins, a
boy and girl. were born to him and
his wife and all are well and doing fine

case as we have the word Of our friend
himself, for the truth of it.

be extended cordial welcome to Hen

Morton will enter upon his work here
at once and will preach Sunday. The
public cordially invited to hear him.
The various butcher stalls, huckster
stands, fish boxes, &C., scattered here
and there Oh the principal business

any one that one Of the needs Of Hen

and there would be better system if
not better grade of such articles
This is matter of business for the
town and we should not much longer
be without such an institution.

Heavy Loss.
Mr.. E. D. Mitchell has returned
from Pitt county where he went last
week in response to a telegram from
Mr.. Grimes, with whom he lives, an
nouncing the destruction by incendiary
fire. of his large tobacco pack house
and contents. as mentioned in the last
issue Of the GOLD LEAF. From him
we learn the following particulars:
The building, which was one of the
best and most costly of its kind in the
State. was 3lx64 feet, 3 stories and
basement, and contained 40 barns Of
of tobacco. The loss is estimated at
between Sc, 500 and 81 900, with SO, 900
Insurance. Half the tobacco belonged
to Mr.. Mitchell, being the result of
his years work, and the loss falls
heavily upon him. Mr.. Grimes will
rebuild and Mr. Mitchell will live with
him again next year.
