Gone to 0OldSbOro,

The GOLD LEAF very much regrets
to lose Mr.. Geo. S. Prichard and his
family as citizens of Henderson. They
have gone to Goldsboro to live, Mr..
Prichard having formed an advanta-
geous business connection in that place.
The plant of the Niche Tobacco
Company, machinery, stock, etc., has
been shipped to Goldsboro, at which
point the business of manufacturing the
we'll known brands Of smoking tobacco
originated by MIR. Prichard will be car
ried on, on much larger scale, he
having formed big stock company for
that purpose. Thus we lose not only a
good man but an important industrial
enterprise as we'll.
We commend Mr.. Prichard and his
excellent wife to the people of Colds
boro. They are good citizens and &C
tive church workers and are valua BILE
acquisition to any community. Mr..
Prichard is au honorable, straightfor-
ward, conscientious gentleman, while
Mrs. Prichard is Il woman of splendid
character. loved for her many virtues
of mind and heart. AS kind and
thoughtful neighbors, jealous and eff.
cient workers in their churches, intelli-
gent and useful citizens and honored
and helpful members of society their
places will not be easily filed.
The GOLD LEAF unites with host
of friends in wishing for Mr.. and Mrs.
Prichard and their children the fullest
measure of success and happiness in
their new home

Expectations Fully Realized.

The editor has had one of the West
Virginia Force Pumps put in his well,
and after a thorough trial he does not
hesitate to say it is all that is claimed
for t-and more. A source of consd-
able annoyance has been the muddy
condition Of the water rendering it I'M
fit for drinking purposes without filter
ing. This was due to quick sand ris-
ing in the bottom. the buckets and
chain keeping it continually stirred up.
Since putting in the pump the water is
perfectly clear, there being hardly a
trace of sand.
This alone is a great point in favor
of the pump to say nothing of its SUI
perior merits i'll lifting the water, ease
of operation and general utility. To a
person who has one of these pumps and
understands and appreciates its value
the question is How can others afford
to be without it?
That its practical working may be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of per-
sons interested Mr.. Mckenney, the
manager of the company selling the
pumps in this territory, has put one i'll
the public we'll adjoining Railroad
Square opposite Thomason's store, and
invites the public to examine it.

Mr.. Carriers Lecture Tuesday Night

Mr.. Carriers Lecture Tuesday Night.
Mr.. Geo. A. Carter, the young hu-
morst-lecturer of Danville, Va, had a
small audience to hear him at Burwell
Hall Tuesday night. This was due to
no lack of appreciation on the part of
our people so much as to want of in
formation about the time of his ap-
pearance. Mr.. Carter was advertised
to be here some weeks ago, but for
some reason the date was postponed,
and not many people kept it in mind.
But those who were present enjoyed
the lecture. MIR. Carter told them
more about The Mosquito'' than they
ever imagined could be said of this
pestiferous and persistent little insect.
His thoughts were expressed in pleas
ing language, full Of sparkling wit and
refined humor. He spoke 40 minutes
and then treated his audience to some
very clever sketches in character I'M
presentations. In this Mr.. Carter ex-
GELS perhaps. His facial powers are
remarkable, his voice good and under
perfect control and altogether he pos
sesses in high degree the qualities of
the eccentric comedian and charac-
ter delineator. Mr.. Carter is young
man who evidently has bright future
before him in his peculiar line Of work.

SHORT T1LKS ON ADVERTISING.
copyright by Charles Austin Bates.

The downtown terminus ola Third ave-
nue. elevated road is exactly opposite the
entrance to the East River bridge. As
one comes down the stairway from the
elevated, or comes out Of the bridge en-
trance, he is met by II number OF news
boys, each one crying his papers, and at
the same time holding ont his hand in
the hope OF receiving thu paper which you
are through with. These papers are
either sold again or are returned to the
newspaper off us unsOld copies.
There is ~ zach difference in the meth
DDS of thes. W. vsbOys as there is in those
of business nm who advertise. Some OF
the boys push to the front and seem to
catch the eye OF aim 'Steverybody. There
is another kind OF boy, who stands n
little bit in the background, but who still
reaches out his hand. Out on the edge
are some of the smaller, weaker and less
energetic boys, and beyond them are
some who take no interest in the pro-
ceedings at all, who receive few papers
and sell few. The boy who asks oftenest
and keeps most persstently in the fore
ground is the boy who gets the most
papers.
The advertiser who keeps his business
prominently before people and asks per
sistently and often for their trade is the
one who will get the most business. The
man who is nearly as energetic will get
the business that is left, and the one who
stands around on the edge, with his
hands in his pockets, may very reason
ably and justly expect to get what the
boy shot at"
Advertising, reduced to its lowest
terms, is merely asking people for their
trade. That's all there is of it. A bust
hess man wants trade in some particular
line Ii it is Il good line, and if he under
stands it and runs his business properly,
it is only question Of asking enough
people and asking them often. In the
dull season, when only comparatively
few people are buying anything, tho adj
vertising effort should be increased as
the number OF possible buyers decreases
1t is easier to sell $40 worth OF goods
among a thousand people than it is to
FELL that much among one hundred peo'
pie. If there are only one hundred tc
work on, work them hard.

Polk Miller Coming,

Polk Miller's appearance here March
3lst, under the auspices of the Vance
Memorial Association, should be an
event of unusual interest to the peo-
pie of this county. Aside from the
fact that Mr.. Miller is one of the most
popular and entertaining lecturers be-
fore the public to-day, and the FORE
most delineator of the old plantation
negro, the object Of the lecture should
commend itself to all. What worthier
cause could the good women be en-
gagged in than raising funds to erect a
fitting memorial to the great man
whose name our county bears? So,
we say, Mr.. Miller's lecture should be
an event of unusual interest to our
people.

A Splendid Performance.

The performance Of Fukino's Impe-

was the best thing Of the kind ever
witnessed on this stage. Some Of the
feats were truly marvellous and one
could hardly believe it possible to ac-
complish such thing until he saw it
done. The rainy weather prevented
the afternoon performance. With the
elements more favorable the Japs would
have a full house should they visit
Henderson again.

About Reading Advertisements.

We are living in an age Of advertis-
ing. Every man who has an article to
sell, exchange or give away. uses the
advertising columns Of some newspaper
or magazine to get the fact before
the people. The man who does not
advertise is out of date-anti quated-
living in the past, and it is only mat
ter of very short while until his bust
ness is placed under the sheriff's ham,
mer.
Farm Ne,cS says: sin America there
is about 5000, 100000 spent in adver-
Using every year. Do you think this
could be kept up, year after year, and
not only kept up, but constantly i'll
creased, if advertisements were not
profitable to the purchaser? 1t costs an
immense amount of money to advertise
extensively. No business concern could,
or would long keep it up unless it pays,
and no advertisement can pay the adj
vertiser unless it Also pays the reader"
We want to emphasize this last SEN
tence. Whenever you see the same
firm advertising year after year it is
positive assurance that the advertise
ment is paying the reader; for a man 8
not going to advertise unless it brings
him customers, and customers are not
going to read his advertisements and
buy his goods unless they get value
received for every dollar they invest.
If you will read the advertisements
in the Southerner each week you will
notice that merchants, manufacturers,
druggists, etc., have been our patrons
for years. This not only proves that
the readers patronize the advertisers,
but it also proves that Tarboro adver-
tisers generally do what their adver-
tisements say.
Now, whether you need or want any
thing or not, we would advise you not
to lay the paper aside until you have
carefully looked over the advertise
ments; for, 10 quote from Farm News.
"We know that hard as the editor may
strive to obtain the freshest and best
information for farmers, some bright
advertiser often has in a three-inch
space an announcement that is Of more
value to the farmer than all the re st oil
the paper. "-Tarboro -Sout herner.

No Long Clothes for Baby.

The bicycle has had aothing to do
with it. but babies cluthes are being
simpliiied and made more comfortable,
just as garments for their elders are.
Sensible mothers do not bundle their
infants up in long clothes any more.
The babies are most appreciative.
They express their enthusiasm in kicks
of JOY. Their first slips and wrap
pers are made to come few inches be-
low their feet. Their clothes are so
gradually shortened they seem to keep
pace with the growth of the youngsters.
The regulation short dresses that dis
play their bootees appear before any
body is aware Of a change. Old-fash-
toned mothers who still make a Sc
rious and solemn function of putting
their infants into short clothes at
prescribed date, in prescribed way
would lessen their care and increase
the comfort of their offspring by adopt
ing short clothes from the start

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in

were the first to make brooms by machin-
cry; the first to put up seeds in little pack
ages; the first to manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t supplies food in an
artifcially digested form and at the same
time aids the digestion of other foods in
the stomach. In other words, by the use of
the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspeptic
virtually gets along without the use of
his stomach until it is resorted to its nat
ural strength and vigor. A single 10 cent

From Cincinnati Gazette,

Will people never learn that "cold'' is
an accident to be dreaded, and that when
it occurs treatment should be promptly APP
piled? There is no knowing where the
trouble will end; and while complete re-
covery is the rule, the exceptions are terri
bly, frequent, ard thousands upon thousands
of fatal illnesses occur every year ushered in
by little injudicious exposure and SEEM
ingly trifling symptoms. Beyond this,
there are to-day countless invalids who can
trace their complaints to ''colds," which at
the time of occurrence gave no concern and
we're therefore neglected. When troubled
