MIS-. Harriet u. CnuTcn, admlnlstra-
trlx, gives notice that she will sell at
public auction, at the court house door
in Henderson, on Monday, March Goth,
all the unpaid notes, bonds, accounts
and books belonging to the estate OF
the late {. =. Church. deceased. Per-
sons interested can settle their accounts
with a. c. Zollicofier, attorney, be-
fore day Of sale. See advertisement

Poultry fanciers will be interested
in the illustration published on the
, fourth page of the GOLD LEAF this
! week. Those White Indian Games
are grand birds and are destined to be-
come very popular in this country.
Mr.. Z. A. Webster, the gentleman
who imports and breeds these superb
fowls, is a practical and experienced
poultryman, and thoroughly relia bile
dealer in every way.
AS will be seen by reference to ad-
vertlsement published in another COL
umn, the sale Of the accounts, notes,
&C., of the late firm of Barnes, Stain
back & Co. will be sold by A. G. Zolli-
Golfer, trustee, on Saturday, the 18th
day Of March, instead of 18th of March.
See notice in this paper and govern
yourself accordingly if interested in the
matter. Persons owing accounts can
settle with Mr.. Zollicoffer any time
before day Of sale.
The editor is fully aware that in the
expression of his individual opinions
he does not always reflect the senti-
ment of others. Nor does he under
take to do SO. We de not always take
the same view of a thing that they do,
nor is it TO be expected that we should.
We accord to them the same right we
claim for ourself-the right of opinion,
and the right to express it as we think
proper, i'll polite, respectable manner.
An editor talks to too large an audience
and has too great a diversity of minds
to cater to for it to be supposed that
he should please all i'll everything he
says.
While the GOLD LEAF does not
believe i'll preaching a mans honesty,
because all men should be honest and
deserve no special credit for being so,
we may remark that among his
customers II. Thomson, the popular
grocer and general merchant, is noted
for giving full measure and correct
weights. So when w. 7. Carter, the
Standard Keeper, tested his scales
Tuesday and found them perfectly
accurate the surprise would have come
i'll if it had been otherwise. OF the six
ha ;n1
to not one of them was detected to be
an ounce out of the way.
When we look at those desks, lamp
stands, &c, made by Messrs. Bum
and Draper at the shops of the Hen
derson Building and Manufacturing
Company, the more fully are we con-
WINGED that a furniture factory is among
the enterprises our town ought to boast
of. No better work can be done any
where, the material is at hand in
abundance, and the only requisites are
the necessary capital, suitable machin-
cry and a larger force of workmen.
Why not organize a stock company
and start a furniture factory in Hen
derson? We have the men to make
such thing success beyond doubt.
From appearances there is no con-
traction of enterprise with Oscar Out
law, the popular young barber, even
if there is a contraction of the currency
of the country and shrinkage ofvalues
and falling off of business in conse-
quence. a short while back he added
a handsome new BARRIERS chair to his
establishment and has now employed
an expert tonsorial artist in the per-
son of Richard w. johnson, Of Wash
ington, d. c., to preside at the same.
He is thoroughly competent man in
his line and during the past winter was
employed in some of the finest barber
shops connected with the great tourist
hotels of Florida.
The prettiest line of Baby Carriages
ever brought to Henderson.
