NORTH CAROLINA LITER -
AIRY TALENT.
A High Compliment to a Vance
County Man.

The GOLD LEAF has for some time
known and recognized the literary at
tainments and accomplishments OF Mr..
Oscar w. Blacknall, of Kittrell. We
confess, however, to feeling OF graft
fication at the high encomiums passed
upon his talents AS an author by more
competent critics. The Washington
correspondent of the Ners and Observer
pays this deserved compliment to Mr..
Blacknall:
1t gives me great pleasure TO repeat

North CarOlinian who may someday be
famous. He is Mr.. Oscar Blacknall.

Fields Washington. Leupp said: ''Why
don't you North Carolina people en-
courage Oscar Blacknall, who unwisely
hides his individuality under the as
| sumed name of David Dodge to write
more? His character sketches OF Uncle
Cephas and his dialect stories are the

writer of similar literature. He is far
superior to Uncle Remus.' He has
just completed a book which 1 shall
use my influence to have published.
He is a genius Several of these
sketches have appeared in Kate Field s

pleasure and concluded at once they

writes and that he has a fortune in his
pen. am more than pleased to chron-
icle the success Of our young fellow
citizen. Kate Fields Washington has
a circulation of 5000. Kate Field is
the smartest woman I ever knew. She
has travelled extensively, has met the
most cultured people in both hemi-
Spheres, and counts among her cor
respondents and friends the most cele-
brated people of this century. She and
her able editor, Mr.. Leupp, take deep
interest in Mr.. Blacknall His own
