the GOLD LEAF is continually adding
new names to its already large list of

this direction and no unseemly haste
to jostle one arother or to climb over
each others heads. but quietly and
gently as fall the soft snow flakes from
the heavens they come. Still our
books are not full and others may be
accommodated. Now is the time to
subscribe.
Some of our citizens will attend the
Inauguration Of President Cleveland in
Washington City Saturday. For the
benefit of those who can not be there

Henderson has as many "drummer
boys" on the road representing houses
abroad as well as at home as any town
of the same size you will find. While
he is among the most recent to take
up the grip and sample case, no less
successful than the others is Mr.. w.
Il. Stainback. who travels for Etchisou.
Bates & Starke successors to G.. w.

are designers and exclusive owners of
special brands Of hats, caps and straw

If a newspaper publishes notices for
in town, by which such
institutions are benefited land if they
are not benefited they would hardly
request such publications.) does it not
seem reasonable that they ought to
give the newspaper its patronage, in
the way acknowledgements and subscrip-
tons? In fact every institution in a
town ought to feel enough, interest in
home to help along in every possible
way the other institutions of the town.
