the merry twinkle of his eye and his
smiling phiz.
The county canvass is now in full
blast. and they say the boys are having
lots of fun and good crowds to hear
them.
If any man thinks that Democrat
can be elected in Vance without work
and lots Of it, then he is simply off his
base. We may as well 90 to work.
Harry Skinner has at least been heard.
He declined the office of clector on the
Weaver ticket and the executive COM
mlttee has put Jas. NJ. Newborne in
his place.
All persons who were not registered
two years ago, or have changed their
residence since last election. must
register this year. The registration
books will be closed Saturday noon.

w. L. Douglas, the 50 shoe man. is
not on y good Democrat but can
make ringing stump speech. He
knocked out the Mckinley bill in one
round the other night Lehman sells
his shoes in Henderson.
Our readers will please bear with us
yet little longer, and then we will
let up on political matters and get down
to business again. It will be much
easier writing up the news, you know,
after Cleveland is elected.
The GOLD LEAF salutes Major
Henry Perry, Of the 3rd Regiment.
He has received his commission from
Gov. Holt. A better appointment
could not have been made Major

office with credit to himself and the
State Guard.
The campaign will soon be over and
then the GOLD LEAF and the people

Handsome colOred posters announc-
ing the second annual tobacco EXPOSE
1 on at Rocky Mount on November
2nd, have been put up in this town. 1t

The county candidates are out in
GOOD earnest and are doing some very
| effective work on their canvass. They
have large crowds to hear them and
are listened to with respectful atten-
on and apparent interest by many
| who are known to be either lukewarm
or outspoken in their opposition to the
support of the Democracy.
They are deserving the Third party
| and coming back into the Democratic
| fold in such numbers that it is difficult
to count them. 1t will be hard
matter to find Third party man with
ont going out of the way to hunt him
40 by the time the election comes off.
| And after then there will be few in
| deed who will have the face to admit
| that they voted that way.
If farmers and others will Just stop
a moment and calculate how much
they are sending out of this county for
| corn, meat and tlour-articles they
ought to raise at home-they can see
one thing that is taking their money
away. Raise your own bread and
meat, and times will be better. The
n erchants can hardly keep on a supply
Of western bacon. 1t is a Islander
uoon this lovely land Of ours to say
&c the world that we can't produce our
own meat and bread.
