About Advertising.

1t requires considerable art in writ
ing Observation-Disclosures is to do it
properly and to best advantage. Some
merchants have an idea that they must
mention by name every article they
keep in stock. This is mistake. Ad-
vertisements should always be short
and to the point, and written in such
a way as the printer can display them
to good effect. An exchange says this
on the subject:
Don't take space in the local paper
and then load your old shot gun with
all the names of the thousand and one
articles you keep and then expect re-
turns, for you won't get them; but
pick out some one thing as a leader,
something the people want and some
thing you have got-push it. Make
them come to your store after it and
when they get there you can do the
rest. If you can't you had better quit
business.

The McGibenys Last Night.

The appearance of the well known
McGibeny Family of musical artists at
Burwell Hall last evening was greeted
by large and appreciative audience.
The entertainment was enjoyable
throughout, the company fully sustain
ing their we'll earned reputation and
the favorable impression made on their
former visit. AS there were no pro-
grams distributed among the audience
the GOLD LEAF can not particularize
and accord to each artist the praise
and individual mention that he or she
merited.

AS to Trading at Home.
Commenting on the article from the
Winston Sentinel, published in the
GOLD LEAF last week, about trading
at home, the Burlington Herald says :
Many people seem to think that be-
cause an article is purchased at some
distance from home that it possesses a
greater degree Of merit. This is en-
tirely wrong. Often than you think.
perhaps, your local merchant can sup
ply you with the very article you want
for less money than you paid for it at
a distance. Make it rule to always
apply to your home merchant first and
then if they cannot or will not get it
for you send away for it, but we think
that if you will put this rule into prac-
tice you will not be compelled to send
away often.

Letter From Ringwood.

RINGWOOD, y. C.. Feb. t. 1898.
Mr.. w. H. Jones. the father of Ring
wood, died on Monday. aged 20 wears.
He was a merchant and postmaster
here for forty years and butt up the
town. He had very many warm irienos
and aided the poor ana needy at ali
times. He was well known to your
father and family who were nelshbors
and friends for number of years. His
illness began year or So ago and for
the past month had been nearly uncon-
scious of surrounding events. MAY he
reap the reward of the just for he WAS
the friend of the tatherless and the
widow.
The shooting of the poor partridges
should be prohibited and rigidly en-
forced. Trimmed out by the cold and
Snow, they are poor and a sportsman
should feel pang of conscience trying
his skill at poor bird too thin and sick
to fly. hear the boom of the guns as
l write and l pity the marksmen more
than 1 do the birds. Pass a law, Mr..
Legislature, and let every good citizen
see that it is strictly enforced.
Master Edgar Matthews left for Siler
City to-day to attend the Thompson
School and Business College. 1t had
$50 students enrolled last session and
is one Of the most progressive and
promising institutions of learning in
the State. Situated in Chatham county
on the G. F. & Y. V. railroad, one of
the most attractive and healthy loca-
tons in the State, the young man de-
string thorough training, morally and
mentally, could do no better than to
write for battle-ground convince him
self of its superiority as an institution
of learning.

ing is in progress on small scale.

Will Hunt for Gold.

A syndicate Of Richmond and New
York capitalists are looking after some
gold mining property in this vicinity
with view to developing the same.
It is we'll known that in portions of
Warren. Halifax, Nash and Franklin
counties there are valuable deposits
of gold but difficulty has been met with
in working it to advantage. The COM
pany in question has newly dis
covered process and latest improved
machinery just out and with this it is
thought no trouble will be experienced
in operating to good advantage. AS
says have been made Of ore taken from
the mine in question and the results
have been highly satisfactory. The
GOLD LEAF hopes soon to be able to
publish something more definite on
the subject.

Concerning a Young Lady Well
Known in Henderson.

The Durham Sun of Saturday con-
tains an account of a concert given by
Miss Willie Shoots music class in that
city. As the young lady has many
friends in Henderson where she for
merly resided, we publish the following
for their benefit. The Sun says:
Stokes Hall was crowded last night
by our citizens to witness the concert
given by Miss Willie Shoots music
class. 4 very entertaining program
was arranged and it was rendered in a
manner that reflected great credit upon
teacher and pupils. Miss Smoot is a
most excellent teacher aud is giving
the people of Durham a fine opportu-
pitv to have musical instruction i'm
parted to their children. The concert
last night was the first public one given
by Miss Shoots pupils and it was a
decided success in every particular.

There are various ways OF adver-
Using. but there is but one proper way,
and that is through the medium OF the
newspaper columns. No other way is
so effective or so beneficial in its re-
suits. The following from all exchange
is literally true and worthy Of consid-
Grafton by business men: You may
disfigure barns, fences, rocks along the
country, waste your money on so-called
business charts, and all that sort OF
thing and vainly imagine you are adj
vertising. But you are not: the news
paper that every day visits hundreds
of homes, and is looked upon by its
readers as reliable friend and advisor
is a medium through which the
wide awake business man will speak to
the people. Quack advertising. the
kind you bite at when stranger comes
around with great - scheme,' is like
quack medicine-the less you take OF
it the better. The man who apprecl-
ates the value of newspaper advertising
and has business instinct enough TO
know that other methods are spurious,
is the man who meets with success.
Advertise your business in the local
paper and it will pay you.

A New Thing in Ice Cream Freezers'
Attention is called to the ADVERTISE
ment of the Jack Frost Freezer Com
pany, published in this paper. Every
family and ice cream dealer should
have Jack Frost freezer if the ma
chine is what the manufacturers claim
for it-aud they sell it under guarantee.
1t is constructed on an entirely ne1c
principle. and is vast improvement
on the old style machines. Instead OF
having the ice and salt outside of the
can containing the cream, the cream is
on the outside and the ice and salt are
inside. In tn cir circular the manu-
facturers say:
"Throw away your old freezer and
buy the Jack Frost, as it will save Its
cost very quickly in ice. salt, time and
labor. A few cents worth Of ice and
salt will make enough ice cream tor
twenty-five persons, and child can
operate it. 1t is simplicity itself. as
there is no gearing to get out of order
ir using. no oily cog wheels and iron
work. 1t makes smooth and delicious
creams and ices, and is free from
: danger of metallic poisoning. Recog-
nizing that all things are at first looked
upon with doubt and distrust, we will
guarantee the Jack Frost Freezer to
do all that we claim for it.

and friends. Mr.. Bynum is now in

of Mr.. Bynum, and his name will al
ways be associated with our visit to
San Francisco last summer To him
the North Carolina delegation to the
convention of the National Press AS
ISOLATION were placed under lasting OBJ
legations for courtesies and attentions
shown them. His time and services
were entirely at their command during
the week Of their stay in the Golden
Gate City, and aside from the pleasure
of meeting SO polished, cultivated, gen.
ial and companionable a gentlemen
and native Tar Heel. they had the
satisfaction Of seeing more ofthe sights

his kindness than a whole months So
,journ otherwise would have enabled
them to do. The trip through China
Town with him. to the Golden Gate
Park. the Cliff House, where the sea
lions were disporting themselves in the
placid waters Of the Pacific ocean or
lazily basking in the sunshine on the
"seal rocks in full view and near the
shore, and to Sutro's Heights, a second
paradise in beauty and loneliness, and
other places of interest in and around
the city, are cherished as among the
most pleasant features of that never
forgotten trip.
The GOLD LEAF joins with hosts of
frinds throughout the State in welcom-
ing Mr.. Bynum upon his native soil
again, and while it rejoices to know
that he is winning fame and fortune in
his far off home, it regrets that such
talent and energy as his are not en-
ployed in helping to build up the waste
places Of North Carolina and make
them blossom as the rose.

The Mobile Neus very truly remarks
:. that the newspapers Of city are the
best evidence of city's progress, en-
terprise and possibilities While this
is as true as gospel, and generally rec
ognized as fact by every man OF ordl-
nary business sense, how many cities
or towns that properly support the
newspapers and make them the real,
true, fit representatives OF the respect
i've towns in which they are published.
How do their advertising columns show
up for the towns they represent: Many
of them give the lie to what the editor
says good of the places where they are
published. That is why they can not
command better talent; if they had 1t
they couldn't pay it. They all have
talent and ability enough behind them,
but for the lack Of support they are not
what they should be.-Montgomery
