The Christmas edit on of the Hen
dcrson GOLD LEAF is a credit to its
cnterprising editor, and an honor to
that progressive tOwn.--Carthage Blade.
The 16-page holiday issue Of the
Henderson GOLD LEAF was creditable
alike to the enterprise Of its publisher
and of the business men Of that flourish
ing North Carolina town.-Petersb burg

The Christmas number of the Hen
derson GOLD LEAF, l6 page edition,
wss gem in every respect. and there
were enough literary Jewels in it to fill a
large volume. What surprise Bro.
Manning has in store for the future
is hard to guess.-Burlington Neus.
Last weeks Christmas issue of the
Henderson GOLD LEAF was in all
respects a credit to editor Thad Man.
ming. 1t was a big paper, and the
large advertising patronage showed en-
terprlse on the part of Henderson
business men.-Raleigh State Chronicle.
a friend and reader of the GOLD
LEAF writing from Norfolk says:
The Holiday Number Of the GOLD
LEAF is the most creditably gotten up
Of any paper have ever seen. Your
innovation in journalism by issuing
such an attractive special edition,
printed in fancy striped paper, was a
decided hit, and must have surprised
the people.
The Christmas edition of Thad
Manning's excellent paper, the Hen
dersOn GOLD LEAF, surpassed anything
of the kind in North Carolina. 1t was
mammoth sixteen page paper, twelve
pages being on = vari-colOred paper,
and it was Just brim full of choice holi-
day selections. Thad Manning is an
enterprising fellow, and lives in a town
where his efforts are appreciated and
his hands held up by a progressive
people. The GOLD LEAF is a credi t
to North Carolina journalism.-S
bury Herald.
The last issue of the Henderson
GOLD LEAF surely must have been a
perfect rainbow of delight to its pat
rons. Printed on white paper, with
green, purple and pink colorcd stripes,
it was sixteen pages in size, and its
Christmas table of contents was loaded
down with good things-rich, Joyous
mental pabulum. Thad Manning was
a regular journalistic Santa Claus, and
he outdid all former efforts. Well, the
GOLD LEAF always has our best wishes
and here's hoping '92 will eclipse all
others in patronage.-Durham Sun.
None Of our many attractive OK
changes interested us more in their
holiday attire than did the Henderson
GOLD LEAF, by the handsome and
courtly Thad Manning. When we first
met Manning, in Lenoir nearly three
years ago, we {" took to him. and
have seen no cause to "take away"
from him we are rarely mistaken in
our first estimate Of a man. We omit
ted, by the way, to note at the proper
time though we noticed. that the GOLD
LEAF has just become ten years old.
We do not know what GROWERS think
of it, but it. always interests us as
being so near what an all round local
newspaper dyed-in-the-wool home en-
terprise ought to be. Still it is always
just below it's editors ideal and he
keeps moving upward. May its birth
days become ten times ten and more,
and its volume of currency expand
with its growing ears.-Gastonia
Gazette.

life, seen as complete a newspaper

highest praise and the most substantial
recognition
