The Acme of Perfection

Yes, that is what the $500 Hand
Mills made by Wilson Bros. Easton,
Pa, are-the acme Of perfection. We
have tried them and know whereof
we speak. So useful little machine,
capable of doing such a range of work,
with ease and satisfaction, as the
Poulter's Mill, No. l, ought to be in the
possession Of every fancier and farmer
who keeps flock Of ten hens or more.
Competent authorities claim that by
grinding bones, oyster shells, and
other substances, cracking corn, peas,
&c, 100 per cent. more profit can be
made in keeping poultry, and the Wilson
Hand Mill is the one to do the work
with. And at the low price at which
it is sold it would soon pay for itself
even if the saving in feed or gain in
the production of eggs should not be
as great as claimed. In fact, no one
who is engaged in the poultry business
can afford to be without such a very
helpful and complete little machine, at
four times the cost.
Mrs. J. S. Lang writing to tho
Puyallup Commerce, in commentator
of the Wilson Mill says:
Il regard anybody who can make two
blades OF grass grow where only one grew
before as a public benefactor. l have
made two hens lay where only one laid
before, but do not wish to claim all the
credit. Far from it. l wish to give
honor where honor is due. The great
question, do chickens pay? 1 find it
depends on how you handle chem.
have always kept large number and
know that they did not used to pay. l
sent for one of Wilson Bros bone mills,
and gathering up the bones laying around
L began using it at once. The effect
on the hens was instantaneous. Their
eggs increased at once and l am now
getting twice the number of eggs l used
to get, and all my fowls are much
healthier than formerly. l strongly rec
ommend the Wilson mill to all poultry
people"
The editor of the New York Rural
endorses the Wilson Mill and testiies
to the value of ground bones and shells
for poultry, as follows:
eve have used this mill for bones and
shells for some years and find it q great
help and source of profit. If you keep
is the best MILL"
Messrs. Wilson Bros. make another
| mill very much like the one above
mentioned, which is sold at the same
price. This machine is designed for
family use and can be employed in a
number of ways-for grinding corn,
meal. hominy, graham flour, coffee,
pepper, spice, ginger, sc. Can be
adjusted to grind fine or coarse as
desired. Both are very strongly built,
simple in construction, easy to operate,
and capable of doing a wonderful
amount of work for so small a mill.
For further particulars see advertise
ment in this paper and write the manu-
tacturers for pamphlet containing a list
of their goods together with testimo-
malls Of same.
AS "seeing is believing" we will
take pleasure in showing these mills to
persons interested and demonstrate
their merit by practical working.

Bicycle Mail Route.

The Beaufort Herald says the novelty
around those parts now is the bicycle
mail route from there to Merrimon, a
distance of 80 miles, tri-weekly. Mr..
J. G. Hudgins, the contractor of this
route, purchased ''Victor'' and started
Mr.. Whitford Mason on his first cycle
trip on Monday. Mr.. Mason dashed
the mail bag to the handle bar and
started early Monday. He returned
Tuesday evening on time but rather
tired. This is no doubt the only bicycle
mail route in the State.-New Berne
Journal.
We fear the Journal does not read
the GOLD LEAF very closely, or it
would be better posted. Several months
ago we mentioned the fact that Mr..
George Belvin was carrying the United
States mail on his bicycle from Hen
derson to Wordsworth, a distance of
% miles, and alluded to the same thing
time or two since. Up to Jan. 1st,
he has ridden IL, 1872 miles, or 46 miles,
both ways, daily, six times week.
And besides this he frequently takes
spin about town with the boys just
for exercise when he comes in some
afternoons, or takes a run to Warren
ton or out in the country to church on
Sunday, and seems not to tire of riding
his wheel. Can any one in the State
beat this record, both as to number Of
miles covered and the useful and prac-
teal service to which the bicycle is
put?

Off on Cutters.

We are informed that the American
Tobacco Co., has notified all Of its
buyers, on all markets, to cease buying
the three grades of cutters used in the
manufacture of cigarettes. This action
is taken in view of the fact that the
company has a two years supply on
hand, and the pending increase in tax,
contemplated by the Ways and Means
committee. and will have a tendency
to decrease the sales of cigarettes. We
hear it stated that this Company con-
siders the increase of tax Il burden of
50 cents per pound on cigarette to-
bacco, in view of the fact that tobacco
in other forms will not be SO taxed
and no other States will be effected
but North Carolina and Virginia.
The above is from the Durham Sun.
We have seen a letter to the same
effect, from a prominent official of sthe
American Tobacco Company, and I'M
derstand that similar instructions have
been issued to their representative on
the Henderson market. The effect of
such action in regard to this particular
article of tobacco can be plainly fore
seen.

The Home Paper and the Man
Who Taketh It Not.


Who Taketh It Not.
He who taketh not his home paper,
rightly says brother printer, the
same should not be lent to him or read
in his presence, but he should be kept
in ignorance all the days of his life,
yea, verify, until the days come that
his land is gobbled for back taxes, his
raiment parted among his creditors,
and the lightning rod agent bringeth
action on his notes. In those days he
will open his eyes and exclaim. 10,
there is pleasure and l am not in it. :"
And he who letteth his subscription
expire and, and he who bringeth not
in the wood and potatoes therefor, or
placeth not the silver in the editors
hands, the same should be proclaimed
from the house tops and his name
should be pronounced ''Mud" by the
people who deal in purple and fine
linen, and scarlet and calico /; for, 10 !!
the editors lot is past finding out I'M
less you try the business. But the man
who buyeth and selleth and advertiseth
literally in the paper, behold the peo-
pie findeth him out and not to hurt,
and the householder who taketh the
paper and payeth therefor, the same
shall prosper he shall know when his
taxes are due, and when the land il
advertised by the scribes; and divers
things whereby he can get bargains at
the stores, who has a cow for sale
cheap or a span of mules, he knoweth
there is war which bringeth up the
| price Of wheat.

Disbursements as published by you in

and January 4th. 1894. and Treasurer's

July 1st and ends June 3Oth. The law re-
quires the Board Of Education to appor-
ton these funds to the IS school districts
Of the county on the lst Monday in jan
uary Of each year and the sheriff is obliged
to pay them in prior to that day. From

The Newspaper Advertisement
Paws

An exchange presents the fullowing
argument in support Of the beneficial
results Of the newspaper ADVERTISE
ment:
A newspaper has 5000 readers for
each 1000 subscribers. A merchant
who puts out 900 hand-bills gets pos
sibly 800 or 400 people to read them
that is, if the boy who is trusted to dis
tribute them does not chuck them over
the sidewalk. The handbills cost as
much as half-column advertisement in
the home newspaper. All the women
and girls and half the men and boys read
the advertisement. Result: The mer-
chant who uses the newspaper has $500
more readers to each 900 of thepaper's
readers. There is no estimating the
amount of business that advertising
does bring to a merchant, but that each
81 invested in advertising brings to the
investor somewhere from 500 to 800
worth of business, there can beno doubt.

The law requires the Commits sioners
and the County Board Of Education to re-
ceive reports from the sheriff and treasurer
of their receipts and disbursements monthly
and it requires statements to be posted at
the court house door on the first Monday in
each month by the treasurer showing his re-
ceipts and disbursem ents for the previous
month, and to whom and for what and in
addition to this the treasurer's accounts
and assets are required to be frequently
audited by committees appointed for the
purpose. Indeed, so many safeguards does
our law throw around the public revenue
that it is impossible for it to be lost, and
so we'll satisfied is every oLe Of this that
the public takes but little interest in such
matters. Yours truly,

Sympathy. The world is dying for
the touch of a loving hand; perishing

Don't grieve over split milk while
there's one COW left in the pasture.
Don't say the world is growing worse
when you are doing nothing to make

Don't tell the world your troubles.
You can't borrow $40 on them.
Don't let the grass grow under your

Marriage.

Two more young hearts beat as one
and two more lives have been united
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
At | o'clock yesterday afternoon the
doors of the Baptist church were
thrown open and a number Of persons
assembled to witness the marriage Of
Mr. Edwin l.. Tate and Miss Lucy E.
Stoyall. The ceremony was performed
by the pastor Rev. Robert VanDe-
vcnter, i'll a beautiful and impressive
manner. Miss Kate Dean presided at
the organ and rendered an appropriate
wedding march with her accustomed
grace and skill. Messrs. w. f. Moss,
Geo. NJ. Manning, John d. Garden
and Ed. w. Nutall were the ushers.
The groom, who is foreman Of the
GOLD LEAF office, is an intelligent,
industrious and moral young gentle
man, while the bride is most esti-
mable young lady, of lovely character
and amiable dispositin, in every way
worthy of the man she has welded.
After the marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Tate
left Oil the Durham train to visit the
groom's parents at their home near
McLeansyi.le. Guilford county.
