There are some patent medicines that

that profess to cure everything.
Everybody, now and then. feels run

too sick to be we'll. That's where the
right kind Of patent medicine comes in.

We claim it to be an unequaled remedy
to purify the blood and invigorate the

time to take it is when you first feel the
signs of WEAKNESS and weakness. The time

Barlow Brothers Minstrels.

Burwell Hall was full of mirth and mer-
riment last Thursday evening, the occa-
sion of Barlow Brothers Minstrels' first
appearance here. They were greeted by
a good sized audience composed of the
best people of the town, and we have not
seen n performance that was more thor
oughly enjoyed. The stage settings We're
sumptuous, the costumes elaborate and
the whole thing genteel and refined
throughout. There is not an inferior
actor in the company nor was there an
Indifferent feature down on the bill. The
grand first part was a fit beginning of a
we'll arranged and happy ending pro-
gram. The jokes were new-absOlntely
sO-the hits good and the applications
timely. Billy Barlow, Ed Thompson and
Louis Duclos, the end men who ratified
McAvoy and Archie Roger, who held
down the opposite corner of the stage
and manipulated the tombourines, are
an unusually strong team and a whole
show in themselves.
Harry NJ Helms is an accomplished
young juggler and did some very clever
tricks. Archie Roger was exceedingly
good in his speciality a Happy Kid"
and showed himself an acrobat of unus-
ual merit. Some of his acts we have not
seen surpassed on any stage. His turn
ing a somersault from his knees and
catching on his feet, together with his
high kicking performances are worthy OF
special mention. Ed Thompson and
Louis Duclos in their musical, singing
and comedy acts, are artists OF superior
gifts and accomplishments and kept the
audience in the best of spirits. Ferry, the
Frogman, is a wonder His grotesque
performance "The Frogs Holiday" was
the most unique feature of the entertain
ment, as wonderful as it was we'll done.
He is as supple as if made OF rubber, and
as contortionist is g one OF the finest. y
The singing and dancing was very good,
and altogether it was one of the best
performances of its class that has been
seen on this stage.
The GOLD LEAF commends Barlow
Brothers Minstrels as combination OF
gentlemanly artists, and assures them
that they will meet with warm recep-
ton at any time they may visit Hender-
son in future.

A Suggestion.

HENDERSON, N. c., Sept. Is, 81,
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-As the best
time approaches for planting out trees,
would it be amiss to call the attention
of property owners to the Importance
of planting out shade trees on side
walks in front of their property? It
would not only beautify the town but
increase the value of the property as
well. Could not our city fathers take
this matter in hand and have it done,
and if the burden falls too heavy allow
the cost as common tax.

Rev. Thomas DiXOn'S New
Lecture.

The = Almighty Dollar" is the SUBJ
ject of Rev. Thomas Dixon's latest
lecture. This ought to be a popular
one with the people. There is nothing
better than a dollar-unless it is two
dollars-and we would suppose the
next best thing to possessing it would
be to hear some gifted and entertaining
speaker like Mr.. Dixon talk about it.
We see from the State Chronicle that
he is to deliver this lecture in Metro
politan Hall, Raleigh, Wednesday
night, October 3rd. This is said to
be one of his best lectures, into which
he has put his best powers of wit,
humor, pathos and eloquence. AS in
timated in another place an effort is
being made to get Mr.. Dixon to come
to Henderson also and we hope he can
be prevailed upon to do so.
