SCHEME TO ADVERTISE THE
TOWN.
Big Editions Of the Gold Leaf to
be Printed and Circulated Ora
tuitously Throughout Vance
and Adjoining Counties.

be Printed and Circulated Ora
tuitously Throughout Vance
and Adjoining Counties.
Approaching the value of the local
paper to the community in which it
is published, the business men Of Hen
derson propose to give the town the
benefit OF some extra advertising dur
ing the next two months, just as the
tide of the fall trade sets in. Acting
upon the principle that if little thing
is good big one should be better
that if | 900 copies Of the paper are
beneficial to the community a circula-
ton Of 5000 would bring still greater
results-they have subscribed for 1900
extra copies of the GOLD LEAF to be
sent gratuitously to names furnished
during the months of September and
October. The idea is to make the
paper more useful to themselves, to
the town and section, and to those to
whom it is sent, because of course the
real object is to advertise the Hender-
son market tobacco, cotton and ner-
cantlle-and set forth its attractions
and advantages as trading point.
And if the tobacco grower is induced
to sell his product where he can get
the most money for it, and the man
who has to buy groceries, dry goods,
clothing, furniture, hardware, farming
implements, drugs, medicines, &C.,
is shown where he can get the best
goods at lowest cost, they are benefited
in like measure.
There will be no illustrated trade
edition-no attempt at display-noth-
ing more than the regular weekly issue
OF the paper increased to 5000 copies
for two months. Of course we shall
undertake to set forth the advantages
OF Henderson as tobacco market and
as trading point for the purchase of
such articles and the selling of such
commodities as our people deal in, in
the natural course of trade. This will
mean circulation in round numbers
of "a 900 copies Of the GOLD LEAF
during the next two months, and as
they will go alternately to different
persons, leach subscriber furnishing as
many again names as papers taken)
OhN ttd W NC uC1ifC" IL Jill d
scheme of this kind can be readily seen.
They will be sent tc every post office
in Vance, Granville, Person, Franklin,
Nash, Warren, and Mecklenburg, Va,
and some Of the Eastern counties,
Wilson, Edgecombe, Halifax and Pitt.
It is estimated that five persons the
size of the average family read
paper to every subscriber it has. But
this is too low an estimate, we think,
when we take into consideration the
number of people who borrow a news
paper, one copy some times going the
rounds of the whole neighborhood.
Taking five as the basis Of calculation,
however, and we have an audience of
100000 that the GOLD LEAF will talk
to during September and October.
Such an opportunity to advertise the
town has never before been presented.
Every business man in Henderson
ought to improve it. The advantages
are SO manifest that no argument is
needed to impress them upon the in
telligent reader.

Satisfactorily Explained.

Somebody who wants to explain
what the editorial we' signifies says
that it has variety of meanings,
varied to suit the circumstances. For
example: When you read that ''we
expect our wife home to-day 8 We
refers to the editor-in-chief; when it
is ''we are little late with our work.
it includes the whole office force, even
to the devil and the towel; in "we are
having BOOM the town is meant;
sswe received over 700, 900 immigrants
last year," embraces the whole nation
but ''we have hog cholera in our
midst only means that the man who
takes the paper and does not pay for
it is very sick.-Chenoa ON Gazette.
Ii you feel that you nave but little
money to buy your groceries, dry goods,
hats shoes, &c, with, you should go to
see H. Thomson, where a little money
will go long ways in making your
purchases.

A Little Boy Badly Scalded,

Nat, the little scven-ycar-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hunter, met with a
serious and painful accident Tuesday.
He was on his fathers engine (Mr.
Hunter being engineer on the Durham
Il Northern Railroad) and as he had
often done before was permitted to
turn one of the steam cocks. From
some cause the tube burst and steam
escaped at the point the little fellow
was standing. He was badly scalded
on one side, the burn ranging from the
hip down to the end Of his pants,
before he could be removed from his
perllous position. DR.. Debnam was
called i'll and applied the proper
remedies, and while the little patient
has suffered much he is doing as we'll as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Nat is a bright and intelligent
little fellow, a great favorite with all
who know him, and he and his parents
have the sympathy of many friends.

Ordained to Preach

Rev. Robert w. Hines, who was
ordained to the full ministry of the
gospel by the Presbytery at Nutbush
last week, preached in the PRESBYTERIAN
church here Sunday morning and night.
Both sermons were Of a character to
reject credit upon the young minister.
They showed depth OF thought, wide
research and the true spirit of the
Gospel Of Christ. Mr.. Hines is a
young man of ability, deep piety and a
close student, and future of promise
and usefulness is doubtless before him.
Having lived in Henderson for several
years he is well known and greatly
esteemed here and many Of his old
trends went out to hear him Sunday.

The reunion of the old soldiers at
"arrenton last Thursday was a sue
cesslul and enjoyable event. There
was large crowd in attendance, not
as great as in 1883, however. and a
pleasant time was had by all. We
very much regretted our inability to
be present. 1t is always delightful
pleasure to US to meet with the good
people OF old Warren, whether in their
homes Or on the occasion of any public
demonstration.
Every merchant and business man
In town ought to have a standing adj
vertlsement or card in the GOLD LEAF.
1t would be to your interest to do so.
No man is so well known that he does
not need to continually impress the
fact that he is in business, prepared to
meet the wants Of the trading public.
If you have no inducements to offer in
the way Of superior goods and attrac-
tive bargains, then you have nothing
to gain by advertising.
Mr.. W. A. Hinton, of Durham. who
has been staying a couple of weeks at
Mr.. Geo. f. Wortham's, near town,
drinking his well known mineral water,
told us he has experienced great benefit
from the same. He had been troubled
with dyspepsia for some time but the
water appears to have perfected cure,
SO much so that he could eat and
digest anything, and gained in flesh
three pounds week during his stay.

enrolled and the thorOughness of the

that the institution is located at Little
