SuDeriOr Court.

The fall term of Vance County Su-
perior Court commenced Monday.
Judge H. G. Connor presiding. Solic-
itor John E. Woodland is in his place
as representative of the State, and the
administration of justice is being pro-
ceeded with in business like manner.
The Judges charge to the grand jury
was plain, simple and direct, elaborate
without being burdened with complex
sentences or technical phrases. There
is no better man on our Superior Court
Bench than Judge Coanor, and when
ever he makes mistake it is an error
of the head and not of the heart.
Quiet, dignified and polished in bear
ing, well poised, just and impartial in
his rulings, he is an ornament to the
legal profession and to the judicial sta
ton.
Solicitor Woodland is an active, en-
ergetic and Intelligent prosecutor for
the State, vigorous without being ma
levolent. Learned in the law, upright
and earnest in maintaining its dignity
aud the peace and good order Of So
ciety, he is vigilant in the discharge of
his duty and careful and painstaking in
the preparation of his cases.
The docket is not very heavy one.
There are no cases of special impor-
lance and the criminal docket will
probably be finished tomorrow. 1t is
a two-weeks term, next week being de-
voted to the hearing Of civil causes.

He Was Well Pleased =.

Mr.. J. II. Beal, one of the pioneer
tobacco planters Of Nash, and among
the most successful farmers of his
neighborhood, was here last week with
tobacco. He sold at Davis warehouse
and so we'll pleased was he with the
result, that he came to see us to tell
us about it and to renew his subscrip-
ton to the GOLD LEAF, which, by the
way, he says he would not begin to think
of trying to get along without. He
sold some tobacco for so cents a pound
while the average all around was salts
factory-and it was not his best either.
He said he weighed it at home and the
warehouse weights came fully up if his
tobacco did not gain little. Mr.. Beal
was loud in his praise of Owen Davis
and says he will always treat you right.
He is square man, and works hard
or the farmers in ter est.

A FlOurishing School.

The GOLD LEAF is always pleased
at the success of the various educa.
tional institutions throughout the State,
and especially is it gratifying to us to
learn of the prosperity of those of our
immediate friends and advertisers.
And SO we take pleasure in noting the
fact that the attendance at Littleton
High School and Business Institute
this session is 40 per cent. larger than
ever before. Considering the location
of the school, its excellent standard
and the reputation it has made under
the able conduct of Prof. L. w. Bag
ley, the experienced educator, capable
instructor and admirable Christian gen.
tleman, we are not surprised at the
growing success and prosperity of the
splendid institution over which he pre-
sides.

Likes His Old Love Best.

1t will be gratifying news to the
many friends and former customers Of
Mr.. A. R. Anglea. to learn that he
has decided to again engage in bust
ness in Henderson. After closing out
his shoe, hat and gents furnishing
goods business some months ago with
a view to locating elewhere, he has
visited many of the leading towns in
Virginia and North Carolina looking
for suitable location, but found no
place that appeared to hold out greater
Inducements than Henderson. So he
has decided to open up here again and
has just bought largely of goods in his
line for that purpose. He will occupy
the store room in the Charles Watkins
block formerly used by w. E. Smith,
opposite the Bank of Henderson, where
he will in a short while be smiling on
his hosts of friends and former patrons
| as naturally as ever. Mr.. Angela is a
good merchant, thoroughly conversant
with the hat and shoe trade, and pro-
poses to carry in stock only the best
goods in his line. The GOLD LEAF IS
glad that he will not leave US, because
it shows that after all there is no place
like Henderson and that he likes his
old love best.

buyers, little and big. No matter what
you want you are mighty apt to find

found at the Rae, et Store from a one
cent paper of pins to the finest grade
of dress goods at astonishingly low
figures. This is the store that hus-
bands try to keep their wives from.
Why? Because when they 60 to buy
a good stove-pan for ten cents they see
so many other cheap and necessary
goods for housekeeping they are just
compelled to have them. Only a few
dollars and you have a. complete outfit
of dress goods and house furnishings.

THE T6ACCO MARKET
In a Strong and Healthy Condition
With Bright Outlook for the
Future.

The new tobacco year, which COM
menced October LIST, opens under most
favorable auspices 70: Henderson. The
outlook was never more encouraging
t:,an now and everything points to the
biggest years business in The history
of the market. The year just closed
was, ia. Ell all together, the best we
have e.er had, and the market is
stronger to-day than ever before. The
BUYERS show US that we have handled
by Sc veral million pounds more tobacco
from October LIST, 1890, to October LIST,
1891, than any previous year, and we
expect to largely in crease our sales
during the next twelve months.
The t;ade is in good shape in every
way. The force of buyers is larger and
stronger, and the wa;ehousemen, the
personnel, business cap City and finan-
cial ability of which cannot be well I'M
proved upon, remain the same.
And This we take it is one OF the
most encouraging indications of the
substantial and prosperous condition OF
our ma:ket The fact that there is no
change among the warehousemen shows
that they are on solid ground and look
ing well after the farmers interest.
And where will you find a stronger,
more capable and popular set of mel
engaged in the business than the Hen
derson market boasts? Where are the
equals OF D. Y. Cooper, Harris, Gooch
& Co., Owen Davis and Butler &
jenkins? Who marvels at the growing
fame and prosperity of this market with
such men in the lead? Who wonders
that the farmers stand by them ard
patronize the market where they fin6

Rev. Thomas DixOn's lecture.

A fair sized audience heard Rev.
Thomas Dixon's lecture at Burwell
Hall last Friday evening. His subject
was Fools" and he handled it in a
very entertaining if not highly in
structive manner. But we must con-
TESS to being somewhat disappointed.
The lecture did not impress us as being
up to the high standard of the speak
er's reputation and ability. Certainly
it was not as good as his lecture on
" Backbone" delivered here last Octo-
Der. There was not the originality,
the philosophy, the sold food for
thought about it. The lecture consist
ed principally of a series of incidents or
anecdotes graphically illustrated-and
no one can do this with better effect.
And this shows the power Of the man.
He spoke one hour and sixteen min
utes and SO thoroughly was the lecture
enjoyed that his hearers were sorry
when Mr.. Dixon finished speaking.
