ment of the John A. Crisp Electric
Belt Co., of Jefferson, Ohio, which
appears in another column of this
paper. This company is represented

have means of knowing their goods

Best Body Battery in existence for the
cure of diseases they profess to cure.

That is nothing, when our farmers

What the Tobacconist should have said
was that ten tobacco barns were

The District Conference for this
part Of the State will meet at Oxford
this week-from Friday to Saturday.
Several members Of the Henderson
Association will attend. DR.. Morton
will make the opening address on
Friday night.
AS the cool weather comes on more
interest seems to be shown in the
Sunday Meeting. Next Sunday Mr..
Arthur Arlington will give one of his
popular Bible Readings. All men in
vited to attend.
n Debating Society was started
Monday night with much interest. The
subject discussed was as to whether a
country man in town or a city man in
the country, is the ''greenest. 1t was
ably argued and conclusively shown
that the only place for either was at
home. But twas finally decided that
the city man is the greenest Of green
things when ever he gets away from
home. The next debate will be on the
topic:
"Resolred. That woman has more
influence over man than has money!
a gymnasium class beginning this
week will meet every Thursday night
for systematic work till further notice.
Drills, bodybuilding, and athletic
sports will be taken up.
October always closes the Financial
year" Of the Association and it becomes
necessary to plan for funds for carrying
on the work for another year. Re-
ports will soon be presented of the
past. Messrs. Coulter and Gales, the
two State Secretaries, will probably be
in town next week to assist the Asso-
citation in the matter.
\ Sunday-school teachers class,
for the study of the Sunday-school les
sons will meet in the Rooms on Thurs
day of next week at five O'Clock. All
persons interested in Sunday school
work are invited to join.
The series of lectures by home
talent were begun Wednesday night by
a talk from Mr.. Samuel r. Harris, on
Brass AS might have been ex-
pected there was considerable humor in
it but there was also plenty of good
hard common sense and wholesome
advice. The audience was highly
pleased.
A "social Junction. was held in
connection with the lecture. There
was singing and violin music, and
through the kindness of Mr.. Beacon.
the friends were supplied with an
abundance of luscious scuppernongs.

hereby call meeting of the members
of the old Chamber to meet at Parkers
Hall Immediately after the meeting of

Both. l earnestly ask that every one
who is interested in the prosperity and
growth Of Henderson, will make it his
business to be present.
Matters of grave Importance to the
business interests as we'll as to the
general prosperity of the town need
our combined attention and without
concert of action the public interest
and general good is not apt to get at
tention, and 1 earnestly hope every
man in town will make it his business
to attend this meeting.

The Old Soldiers at Wrightsville.
STEEDsvILLE, VANCE Co., n. c..
September &c, 1892.

| EDITOR GOLD LEAF Accepting
the invitation so kindly extended te
the Confederate Veterans. to visit
Wrightsville, Mr.. r. B. Hamme, an
| old army comrade, and myself, having
previously gotten all our papers fixed
up according to instructions. boarded
| the train Of the Raleigh & CASTOR
Railroad at Greystone, in this county,
on the morning of August 10th, at 8
O'Clock, and in a few moments were
speeding away for Raleigh, which place
We reached little before 10 O'Clock.
having been most courteously treated
by the gentlemanly conductor, and
joined at the several stations by num-
bers of old Confederates. Laying over
in Raleigh about two hours. we got
aboard the train again, finding among
those on board, many with whom we
were acquainted in the army, and
whose hands, it was pleasant to grasp
once more, and to fight our battles DER
again, in the relation of scenes and
incidents, as the cars sped swiftly along.
We arrived safely at the camp at
Wrightsville, about o'clock, having
had safe and enjoyable trip, nothing
occurring to mar the pleasure, of the
same. We found our quarters very
comfortable and everything as agree
able as it possibly could be made, for
our comfort and happiness. The next
morning we had the pleasure of seeing
the sun rise on the ocean, a scene Of
beauty, long to be remembered, by
every one who witnessed it. During
the morning we whiled away the hours
in social converse or rambling along
the beach gathering sea shells for the
young folks at home, and in relating,
and listening to incidents and reminis-
cences Of the war. It was estimated,
that there were about l 100 old soldiers
present, and when we were formed
in line of doubler anks, and the ranks
opened, and those glorious ladies of
Wilmington, marched slowly, majesti-
cally, and beautifully through the
opened ranks, it sent thrill of con-
tented and exquisite pleasure through
our old battered and time-worn bodies
and hearts, which made us feel that
in the defense Of those sweet beings,
we could grasp our old muskets and
fight with all the ardor of our younger
days. May God bless those dear and
noble women. 1t was enough to en-
thuse the most unfeeling heart that
ever beat in the breast of man, to gaze
upon those glorious creatures as they
glided through the camp dispensing re-
freshments to the old veterans; and
fitting about like angels, pressing their
Inequalities upon us. They served
us magnificent dinners each of the two
days we stayed, and 1 could not help
a feeling Of regret when 1 boarded the
train for home. It is true, my own
dear old Betsey, was at home, ''waiting
and watching for me,' but, 1 could
not keep back feeling of sadness at
the thought that perhaps [ should
never be permitted to gaze into those
sweet faces Oh this earth again. Hum
bly, l pray God to bless them and
shield them from the sorrows of this
life, and to let us old Confederates meet
them again in the ''Sweet Bye and
Bye Respectfully yours,
JAMES II. NUCKELS.

Advertising.

An advertiser, who is guile a sue
cess in his line, says great deal OF
money is lost in spasmodic advertising
after the advertiser has allowed his
advertisement to be withdrawn for a
time than if he had allowed it to run
continuously. Too many advertisers
break up their advertising in small
lots and advertise Unfortunately.
Their returns are not commensurate to
the money expended. Advertisements
should be frequently changed and
adequate space to give a proper
exposition of what the advertiser has
to offer should be purchased Inland

For Henderson Business Men to Con-
slider and Act Upon.

MIR. EDITOR :-There is q time in the
life OF every one that makes a crisis in
the person existence. Shakespearerefers
to this in his celebrated lines: "There is
a tide in the affairs of men," This is
none the less true in the history of
towns, cities, nations. How many towns
much less favorably located than their
neighbOrs, yet have far surpassed them
in development and wealth, entirely
through the energy and enterprise and
public spirit OF its inhabitants. A visitor
recently giving a history of the city OF
Minneapolis ascribes the greatness and
prosperity of that city entirely to the
concerted energy of it's inhabitants who
resolved that the near rival city OF st.
Paul, should not surpass them in the
race.
Your writer is reminded of this as he
recently glanced over two publications
devoted exclusively to the tobacco in
terest of the State, and where the leading
tobacco towns of North Carolina and
those only lately come into notice, such
as Greenville, Tarboro, Wilson, Rocky
Mount, Louisburg, were mentioned and
written about, and not a word said
about Henderson. Are we not in danger
of getting classed among those towns
where all the energy, brain and hope have
departed and are called dead to,Uns?
Where is our Chamber of Commerce?
What is our Tobacco Board OF Trade
doing? Are we organizing new indus
tries' Are we trying to revive any of
those once in existence?
What have we got to attract new
corners? New Corners won't come here
unless they can find employment and the
inhabitants we have will be forced to
leave for other places where they can
get employment.
Col. J. S. Carr, when advised to build
his handsome residence in Washington
City where he could find a purchaser for
it, should he ever wish to sell, replied,
he had made his money in Durham, and
that he thought he ought to spend it
there, and this shows his appreciation
OF his own people. Ii those who have
made their money out of the community
in which they live willnot spend it in de-
velOping that community, how can they
expect strangers to do it for them? One
Of the essentials Of success both in man
and in the aggregation of men, which
make towns and cities is to have conf
dence in ones SELF This confidence is
shown by spending your money in your
home place, by uniting with Others to
upbuild.
Not to do this, exerts a most injurious
and depressing influence on others less
influential, who are thereby deferred
from venturing into enterprises that
they see those in whom they have con-
tidence, unwilling to undertake.
That we are not doing what we can
and ought and must do to develop our
town is apparent to every one. The
crisis in Henderson's existence is upon
us, and we cab t longer postpone action
unless we have made up our minds to
let our town sink into obscurity.
