The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1893-02-09

ing out to f. A. Thornton. Both the
retiring and incoming editors have the
best wishes of the GOLD LEAF.
Mr.. HOWARD A. BANKS, who has
been associate editor OF the Winston
Sentinel since that paper has been
under the proprietorship of Mr.. Bur
bank, leaves it to so to the Charlotte
Observer.
The Newberne DAILY Current, by
X. R. and J. B. Hill, is live six
column folio and improves with age
1t gives evidence of newspaper ex-
perience and ability and merits we'll
at the hands of its people.
The North Carolina Baptist, pub
lished at Fayetteville, is two years old
and with circulation of 5000 copies
is apparently prospering. 1t is a good
paper, filled with choice reading mat
ter and deserves we'll not only of Baptists
but others.
The Albemarle News is much i'm
proved by discardipg its patent out
side and coming out as an all-home-
print with new type. Editor ]. D.
Bivins shows by this stroke of enter
prise that he is up with the balance of
the boys in the line of progress and
prosperity.
JIM LlNDsAy's paper the Charlottes-
vile (Va) DAILY Pycgyess, is what its
name indicates. 1t is bright, newsy
and we'll edited, and gathers strength
as it gathers age The editor will be
kindly remembered by the brethren in
this State as the former popular and
efficient Secretary and Treasurer of the
North Carolina Press Association and
publisher of the kernersvlle Ne7vs.
The last issue of the Warrenton
Gazette appears with new reading mat
ter type and the appearance of the
paper is greatly improved as a conse-
quence. The GOLD LEAF is pleased
to note this indication of thrift and
progressiveness on the part of Editor
Foote. He has labored long and
earnestly in behalf of the people of his
town and county and deserves
liberal patronage at their hands.
EDITOR Roscower, of the Goldsboro
Headlight, has been investing in new
type and a power press and promises
that his paper will soon be printed all
at home and put on other airs. By
the time he does this we dare say that
bank account he was wont to boast of
will be thing of the past-an rides
cent dream as it were But we note
with pleasure that he is able to make
these contemplated improvements.
The Shelby Re0iew is prime
favorite with us. 1t is bold, aggressive,
newsy and interesting. Col. John C.
Upton has editorial experience and
ability of the kind to make a paper
"go,' and the GOLD LEAF is not sur
prise at the success he has met with
since establishing his paper in Shelby.
The Re0iev has recently entered upon
a new volume and gives promise of
attaining ripe old age, crowned with
honor and usefulness.
The Greenville Reflector is one of
the most sterling, wide-awake, fearless
and outspoken papers in the State. 1t
is edited with industry and ability and
has cause to rejoice over its success and
prosperity. 1t deserves all it gets
and more. Editor Whichard has
opinions of his own and he is not
afraid to express them. We note the
fact that the Reflector has entered
upon its twelfth year and the GOLD
LEAF hopes it may live to be one hun
dred under the same management.
If Brother Marshall, of the Gastonia
GaSrtte, does not want his reputation
as a grammarian to suffer, he had
better take his editorial chair along
with him to keep the "devil' out of it
next time he leaves the office to visit
the State capital. The GOLD LEAF
feels kindly toward him and wants to
see him keep up his end of the log in
the "bout'' with DR.. kngsbury, of the
Wilmington Messenger, Old Man
Scott, of the Lenoir Topic, Col.
Robinson, Of the Asheville Citizen,
and Joe Caldwell, of the Charlotte
ObserVer, even if he can't use its plan
to increase his subscription list to
advantage.
HE Charlotte Observer has COM
pleted its first year under the owner
ship Of Messrs. Caldwell and Tompkins
The GOLD LEAF has always been very
partial to the Observers editor Mr..
!. P. Caldwell, and when he entered
