Letter From Ringwood.

RINGWOOD, y. c., Feb. 9th. 1895,
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-The weather is
the breath OF life to rich and poor, bond
and free, civilized and barbarian, hence
We have to write of it, and since Thurs
day night we have had some of it that
reminded US OF the North Pole. Snow
fell to a depth of about 4 inches, the
thermometer down nearly to zero, and
the North wind blowing an icy gale. All
work has ceased and building fires and
keeping warm indoors is the order Of the
day, but the South wind will soon blow
again and the sun shine warmly and We
will go to work singing There is life in
the Old land yet"
Mr. and Mrs. L. Vinson returned
Thursday from a pleasant trip to the
City of Hills, Richmond, Va.
Billie Williams still lives, though in my
last we all thought he was iaarticuio morris.
1t is however impossible for him to sur
vive but a short while.
Many of our tobacco raisers were on
the point of burning plant beds but this
weather has caused a halt, and no telling
for how long as the cold icy winds now
bowling over the glstening snow may
cause it to stay with US for some time
yet.

awhile when these infirmities will all be
left behind You'll be glad then you for

prayer: 'From men who are serving
themselves under the pretence of serving

as trade; from men who arrogate to
themselves monopoly of wisdom,
righteousness and Judgment from men
who are ready to cruelty every one who
differs from their idea, we most devoutly
pray Good Lord deliver u.s. ~

Since Messrs. A. S. Barnes s Co., OF
New York, disposed of their interest in
the publication OF school books, which
made their names familiar to nearly
every one, they have been devoting them
selves to the publication OF miscellaneous
books and the manufacture of Barnes
Ink, an excellent school aad business ink
suitable for all necessities. Their long
established reputation is sufficient
guarantee that their ink is as represented,
as good as is produced in this country,
and can be obtained in large or small
quantities from any bookseller or sta
tioner and is well worthy of trial.

DAISIES,
Harbingers of Spring,

The Whist Club was truly fortunate
Tuesday evening, February 10Th, as on
that date they were invited to meet at
"Eine Nilla,' that most picturesque of
homes, the residence of Mr. and Mrs E.
Stephens.
At the christening OF the "Sleeping
Beauty the fairies endowed her with the
precious gift of appearing at her best
Tin all ways) in her own home. 1t would
seem as if they had given our hostess,
Miss Stephens, the same most gracious
gift, the power to make each guest feel
the favored one" and that the present
moments, the happiest of life time,
come only by birth, art and education
All who were cat Home that evening
lave by practice brought this gift to
perfection.
More men and maids were expected
than at any former meeting of the Club,
but the deep snow and other reasons
forced some Of them to send their
''regrets;'' each one of these said II am
one more unfortunate'
The score cards, tied with yellow rib
ons, were daises, with as many petals to
be punched as games We're to be played
Our Exquisite Bit of hostess was "the
sweetest Daisy OF them all, as some one
has said of her before.
The refreshments were all that tho
| rules of the Club allow The ladies'
prizes were won by Misses Eta Warwick
| and Jessica Smith; the gentlemen's by
Messrs ". X. Sturgis and s. S. Parham.

There are people who think that the
principal business of a newspaper is to
take issue with other publications on
political, religious and economic top
les, and not only take issue but to
abuse and deiame such papers and
their editors if perchance they do not
agree on matters OF general interest.
Unhappily there are also many journal

Review of Reviews for February

ReVleW OF reviews LOT FeOruary.
"The Progress of the World" in the
Rcview of Reviews for February, comment
ing on the recent sudden change in the
Presidency of the French Republic, sug-
gests as desirable Improvement in the
French system the separation OF the
Legislative and executive departments of
government. The editor of the Revieu,
in the same department, discusses recent
events in Hawaii and Japan, the condi-
ton of Armenia, the troubles in New
foundland, and many other topics of
worldwide interest. In the field of
English politics, such subjects as the
revenue returns, the London municipal
elections, and the fortunes of the Liberal
party are treated, while Continental
affairs OF the day receive due considera-
ton. On the American side, the editor
presents timely summary OF the present
condition of the national treasury and
demands that some means to secure
revenue be devised by Congress before a
plan of currency reform is permanently
adopted; the changes in the composition
of the Senate are noted, and State and
municipal matters receive attention :;
numerous portraits accompany the crisp
editorial paragraphs of which "The
Progress Of the World is made up.

The PrODer Time

When the most benefit is to be derived
from good medicine, is early in the year.
This is the season when the tired body,
weakened organs and nervous system
yearn for building up medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait for the
open spring weather and, in fact, delay
giving attention to their physical condi-
ton so long that long siege of sickness is
inevitable. To rid the system of the i'm.
season, to purify the blood and to invigo
rate the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't put
it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now
1t will do you good. Read the testimonial Is
published in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla
all from reliable, grateful people. They
tell the story.

Hon. Robert w. Winston, OF Oxford
has resigned as Judge Of the Superior
court. This action was taken in view
of business arrangement which he
desired to enter into in Durham-the
formation of partnership with Fuller
& Fuller Mr.. w. w. Fuller having
accepted an offer to go to New York
as chief attorney for the American
Tobacco Company, the active business
will be conducted by Judge Winston
and Mr.. Frank l.. Fuller. Thus while
Durham loses one good citizen it
gains another.

ABILITY RECOGNIZED.

The GOLD LEAF is always reJoiced
at the good fortune that comes to It's
friends, and feels proud when the
native ability and worth Of any OF its
fellow citizens is recognized abroad as
we'll as at home. And while it wishes
them we'll it regrets to see It's young
men go out to fill positions Of honor
and trust in other States. 1t prefers TO
see them remain among US and lend
their talents, ability and influence to
building up our own section and
making the waste places Of our grand
old Commonwealth blossom as the
rose. But this may be sort Of selfish
spirit and so when they go, with a
prospect Of lettering their own condi-
ton and rejecting additional honor
and lustre upon their mother State, we
bid them God speed.
These thoughts are suggested by the
announcement that Mr.. w. w. Fuller,
Of Durham, has just acceIed an offer
to go to New York as the chief attor
ney of the American Tobacco Com
pany, al princely salary, said to be
S3o,o year. Those who know the
gentleman and are familiar with his
legal attainments and ability will not
be surprised at this The American
Tobacco Company wants the best
legal talent just as it does the soundest
business judgment, capacity and expe-
rience in the conduct and management
of its gigantic interests, and it was
but natural that i: should look in the
direction it did when such a tempting
offer was made Mr.. Fuller to become
its chief counsel.
Mr.. Fuller is a son of Judge Thomas
c. Fuller, of Raleigh, now Of the
United States Land court, and has
long been a resident of Durham, where
he is held in the highest esteem and
for several years has been in receipt
of the largest income received by any
lawyer in the State, it is said. He
will continue to make Durham hi:
legal home, and will be the head 0
the new law firm of Fuller, Winston
& Fuller. The Durham .SUn says:
The contemplated removal Of Mr.
w. w. Fuller to New York, to accep
the chief attorneyship Of the American
Tobacco Co., is heard with regret b.
the citizens OF Durham, where he frs
began the practice of his profession
when Durham was small station. I
young man Of the soundest judgmen,
an astute lawyer; his legal abllitie
were soon recognized and he was no
long in making name and reputation
for himself. He has ever been lead
ing spirit in Durham's advancement
and his opinions have always bee
regarded with the profoundest respect
We regret we are to lose his presenc
and his personal guidance in the affair
of our town.

THE Monroe Ga Adpe,hseyspeaks
by the book when it says this: 1.-The
farmer who devotes ee-fourths of his
time TO producing corn, wheat, oats,
rye, barley, hay, peas, potatoes, poul-
try, meat and vegetables, and one
fourth to producing cotton, will never
be heard grumbllng and complaining
because he is in debt and has no
money with which to pay his debts.
Nor will he be heard vilifying those
entrusted with the administration of
the government, because they do not
scatter money over the face of the
earth like leaves. Such farmers will
see the bright side of life and be
cheerful" And these remarks apply
with equal force and effect 70 some
other people besides farmers. Our
agricultural or rural friends are not
alone in their complaints and fault
findings. Many persons in town do
just as much kicking against the
Hpowers that be- or the surroundings
and circumstances in which they are
placed, while falling short of their full
duty or improving the opportunities
presented to better their condition.
In dealing with such questions as these
let US be fair and impartial.
