well rendered and the contestants &C
quilted themselves in a highly credita-
bic manner. The medal was awarded
to Miss Tucker Massenburg who has
a local reputation iii elocution which
WAS clcyCrly sustained on this occasion.
She had a close contestant in Miss
Thomas. Each OF the young ladies
deserve special mention and (as the
pastor remarked at the close of the eX-
cIci>cs) a medal also. so well did they
perform their parts. Mr.. Thos. NJ.

Trade With Home People

The GOLD LEAF has often urged
our people to patronize home mer-
chants, and the following article from
the Statesville Landmark along that
line should receive the consideration
of all persons who send away for goods
that can be bought from their own
people:
The Landmark has FOR years per-
sistently dinned into the ears of its
readers the Importance of trading with
home people. If you want anything
that can be bought at home always
give the home market the preference.
In almost every instance you can do
as Well-and often better-at home
than elsewhere. \ friend of the Land
mark who lives in the country was in
the Office few days ago and. referring
to this matter, said the paper had
always advised the country people to
trade with home merchants 1--WE advise
everybody to do this for that matter
because town folks are more prone to
send off for goods than country people,
and now he wanted the merchants
advised to trade with home people.
The grievance i'll this particular case is
that merchants in town and country
are keeping stocked all the time with
Western flour and in consequence
there is no market for homemade
flour. There Is, lie says, good deal
Of wheat in the country. but farmers
can get no sale for their flour. We
know nothing Of the particulars Of this
case, but the Landmark does not
hesitate to say. on general principles,
| that this is all wrong. Merchants
generally keep what the trade demands
| but they can, to a large extent. control
| this demand and we take it if they do
| not keep the Western flour there will
be no special call for it. OF course
| they can keep both, but the point we
desire to make is that the dealers
ought not to keep the Western product
! to the exclusion Of that made at home.
There should be reciprocity. The
gentleman in question didn't seem to
think the Western flour is any cheaper
| for the consumer but said the dealers
| make a larger profit on it than on the
| homemade. But after all is said, the
| consumer can control this matter for
he generally buys where he can get
| goods the cheapest, and if the home
made flour is as good an article and
is sold as cheap as the Western, and
we know Of no reason why it should
| not be, the consumer should always
| ask for it and insist on taking no other,
and then he will be helping home

An exchange pertinently says: A
local newspaper is often accused of
bias in giving personals, commenting
on the coming and going of some and
emitting others. The accusation is
very wrong and unjust. Such omission
is often more the fault of the people
than that of the editor. He is always
willing and even anxious to tell who
comes and goes. If he can find out but

NORTH CAROLINA AT CHI
CAGO.
Mr.. Bruner Not Ashamed of the
States Exhibit at the Great
Fair

From a State eXchange-name forgot
ten-we take the following relative to
North Carolina S exhibit at the World's
Fair.
We have been permitted to make some
extracts from a letter from Mr. L. X
Bruner concerning the North Carolina
exhibit at Chicago. Mr.. Bruner mas done
a good work in connection with our
State exhibit and the fine show we make
at Chicago is very largely due to his
labors. Mr.. Bruner writes:
1--WE have been hard at work but have
been delayed some with the nOn-delivery
OF freights. We are much pleased with
our furnishings, and from what | see
around US, am satisfied that we will rank
with the States which had much
more money to spend | am satisfied
that in mines, agriculture, fishes and
forestry, we shall be as well shown as
most OF the States. OF course, other
States have more elaborate installations
but ours is mora than creditable-it is
handsome, durable, and will become a
permanent asset to theState when placed
in the museum. Our mineral cases are
the most convenient and most handsome
on the grounds. Our agricultural space
fronts France on the one side, and New
York state on the other. 1t is enough
to say that | am content with what we
shall show, and with our setting of the
same. The centre piece will be hand
some and effective, and will be a relief to
the general plan of installation, in that
it is different. We compare well with
New York, and our proximity to the
great French display does not make Us
feel afraid
"There were about 300, 900 people in
the grounds on May LIST, and about one
third that number each day since. The
| work OF perfecting the setting up goes
briskly forward. | would not advise our
people to come before about the first OF

Editing newspaper is a pleasant bus
iness-if yOu can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements
subscribers complain that they take up
too much space.
Ii there is Il lack of advertising it is I'M
popular and the people won't have it.
Ii we attend church regularly they say
we go for effect.
Ii we stay away from church they say
We are monstrously heathenish.
Ii we accept an invitation to a wedding
| they say we were invited to s. writeitup.
| Ii we go to the opera house they say
we go on free tickets.
| If we are seen on the street too often
| they say we neglect our business.
Ii we avoid going upon the street they
say we don't hustle around after news.
Ii we reject a long communication its
author gets furlOusly enraged and dis
continues his paper.
Ii we publish lengthy communications
our readers say we lack discretion and
put in everything to 81 fill up.
| III we neglect to decorate our office
| Washington birthday they say we lack
enterprise and that there is not drop
of patriotic blood in our degenerate car
| caSSeS.
Ii we swell out in Il new suit t.i clothes
and celebrate grounding day they say
we got our clothes in payment for adver-
Using and that we are by far too fOppsh.
If. in our frailty, we sometimes perpe-
| trate Joke or make a stagger at a poor
little pun, they say we are exceedingly
light and won't do.
Ii we omit Jokes they say We are poor,
| miserable fossils.
Ii we are married they say it is a pity
for our wives.
Ii we are not married they say it is be-
cause We are too homely to get wife.
If we publish man who has brought
disgrace upon his family, the friends OF
the family never forget us.
Ii We, out OF goodness OF heart, decline
to say anything on the subject them 5
enemies are disappointed, and we are
branded as white-livered towards.
We are able to stand these raps and
many more. and are always ready to re-
ceivc visitors whether accompanied by a
dog or not.
OF course We do not claim there is any
work to running Il newspaper; every one
knows it is snap.
