THURSDAY, JAN. %, 1897.
PATRONIZE HOME Industries.

Greensboro Industrial and Immigra
ton Association, have issued an ad
dress to the press Of North Carolina
urging that the newspapers mpres;
upon their readers the importance and
advantage in the long run Of patron
izing home industries and enterprises
As far as the GOLD LEAF is concerned
it has preached this doctrine all the
time, in season and out. What i.
said about Greensboro applies witt
equal force and effect 10 other places
Following is the address referred to:
The idea which the Greensboro In
duatrial and immigration Association
has emphasized perhaps more than any
other IS that of home patronage. The
association has always fOstered as ial
as It was able every worthy home en-
terprlse. The individual members
have made 1t a rule to buy at home
BY preccpt and example this principle
has been drilled into our business
Community until it has become the
general rule Of practice.
We believe that nothing else has
contributed 50 much to the compare
tive prosperity which the business in
tcrcsts Of Greensboro have enjoyed
during the last two or three years o
depression, and 50 marked have beer
the good effects here of this habit
OF home patronage, that we be
hevc the adoption OF the same plar
elsewhere can be the means of Immeas
urable benefit TO the State at large
To this end and IN the interest Of The
general good of the State as a bushes:
community, we cordially invite all
chambers of commerce and other busI
ness organizations in North Carolina
Ga "''h Us during this year
"reminiscences rIde 10 -. win,
doors of the heart.
popularizing this idea, and sees"'' -
will be the effect of a general move
ment IN this direction.
From a copy of Fai,b,ohhry's FHT-
rage, recently received, we observe
that our friend Mr.. Al FaIrbrolher has
again mounted the editorial ulpod.
This time he is located at Danvllie,
Va, and the first number OF his ''iaic>t
effort TO get in print from title page
To- back brlstles with the distinct yer
sOnality of the editor. faltbTo,ht1
has style peculiarly his OVID, s.rong,
vigorous and original, and when At his
best his work reflects credit upon Tie
literary skill and versatility OF the man.
The Eavyag0 Will be published month
ly at $500 year. The anuary
number Is 70 pages IN SIZE, pamphlet
form, and is well gotten up and very
interesting in subject matter-ln short
what the publisher calls it himself, a
"marvel OF typographical beauty and
condensed Can of Thought"
VERY Crcditable indeed is the indus
tr ial number of the Greensboro Daily
RtfUd, issued Jan. 2,nd. 1t is full

dozen or more valuable papers on
North Carolina and the South, from
