Third party organ, has changed hands
and will be Democratic in politics
hereafter.
One of the neatest as we'll as one of
the best edited and most readable
weekly papers We get is the Clinton
Democrat 1t did valiant service for
the Democracy of old Sampson during
the last campaign and deserves we'll at
the hands of the people of its section.
And having the field all to itself now
since the Caucasian has been moved
to Goldsboro, it will no doubt reap
the reward it merits.
The Union Republican, of Winston,
has been greatly improved by its new
dress of type. 1t is good paper.

parently prospering. While holding
different political opinions, personally
we hold Editor Goslin in warm esteem
and always read his paper with in.
terest. We are not of those who can
not recognize the good qualities and
redeeming traits in a man simply
because we may not agree with him
politically or otherwise.
One of the Invest and brightest
little dailies in the State is the Sails
bury Herald. Indeed, we are sur
prised that town the size of Salisbury
can boast such a creditable daily
paper. As the fellow said about his
dog being fat, it amt so mighty
blank big as you might suppose, but it
is full of news, wide-awake and lively
as cricket and is doing good work
for its town. Editor ]. r. Whichard
is full of energy and has newspaper
experience and ability, as his paper
shows.
The Newton Enterprise has entered
upon its fourthteenth volume. 1t is
an excellent paper and merits the very
liberal patronage it receives. Bold,
fearless and outspoken, a staunch sup
porter and champion. of the principles
of Democracy, it is but natural that it
creates friction in some quarters while
it is applauded in others. In his
reference to the beginning of a new
volume Editor F. M. Williams says:
"Some like it, some abuse it, some
endorse it, some condemn it. But all
read it, and that is what the Enter
prise is printed for"
TUESDAYS issue of our neighbor the
Henderson Herald, announces the re-
tirement of Mr.. Charles E. Thacker
he having a more aattering business
offer made him elsewhere. Mr.. Geo.
M. Newell assumes sole charge as edi-
tor and proprietor, and hereafter the
paper will be isued weekly instead of
semi-weekly as started. During his
brief stay in Henderson Mr.. Thacker
made many friends who will regret his
departure. To Mr.. Newell the GOLD
LEAF reiterates the sentiment of good
will and fraternal greeting expressed
when the Herald first made its appear
ance and wishes the enterprise success.
The Lumberton Re6esonian, genial,
jolly, laughing, wholesouled old
Brother McDiarmid's paper, is not
only one of the best of our weekly
State exchanges, but it is also one of
the Oldest, being in its 24th year. 1t
contains vast amount of pure and
wholesome reading matter and boasts
of large and prompt paying constit-
uency of subscribers and advertising
patrons. There is ~ more hardwork-
ing and conscientious editor than w.
w. McDiarmid and the GOLD LEAF
hopes he may continue in the harness
until his head gets white and his bank
account sufficient for him to retire and
laugh at the expense of the balance of
