SUCCESSFUL NEWSPAPER
The Henderson GOL9 LEAF closed
It's tenth volume on December 10th.
Very few papers in this State can be
compared with it in its make up and
originality. 1t is a perfect local news
paper, as bright in every department
as bran new dollar from the mint.
The genial editor, Thad. r. Manning,
belongs to a a family of newspaper
men DR.. Manning, at one time editor
OF the Weldon Nc,cS, and Will Manning,
who founded the Daily DonriUe NemS-
are his brothers. OF the three. Thad. |
has been the most successful although. |
like all Of us, he has had a hard road |
to travel. The Ncacs congratulates |
the people of Henderson on having such |
an advocate and hopes to live long
enough toattend the golden anniversary
Of the GOLD LEAF under its present
Burlington Nelcs.
