Weldon Moving Forward.

With it's fine natural advantages
OF water-pOwer and transportation
facilities, Weldon ought to be one OF
the greatest manufacturing centres
and most furnishing cities III the
country. The GOLD LEAF hopes to
see it such yet. The recent sale OF the
Roanoke Navigation and Water
power Company, together with its
franchises, canal and improvements,
may be the beginning OF what is to
be the future Lowell of the South.
The Weldon News says:
The sale Of this valuable property
means great things for Weldon. We learn
that the purchasers are all men of large
means and that they will, just as soon as
they get possession, arrange for several
large manufacturing enterprises.
We have outside information that the
purchasers are men who are interested in
street railroads. and such being the case
il is only little time before Weldon and
Roanoke Rapids will be connected by
electric cars.
Mr.. 4. C. Zollicoffer. who recently
spent several days III Weldon on bus
mess, tells the GOLD LEAF he believes
that the next few years will witness
wonderful changes and developments
in that tOwn's progress. You feel ii
in the air you breathe, YOU observe
it in the manner and conduct of the
people. They are more hopeful, more
determined, more entcrprising anC
public spirited. They are going for
ward and doing things, and doing
this Others with brain and Drawn
push and pluck, courage and capita
will come i'll and help.
Watch Weldon. 1t is Il place Will

Disastrous Fire in Louisburg.

Louisburg suffered from disas-
trous fire last Wednesday morning,
the most destructive the to;Tn has
had since 1860. Nearly a whole
block OF buildings were burned and
much property destroyed. The loss
is put at about $4,000, with insur
ance of less than $4,000. The fire
originated in the old Eagle Hoteland
was discovered shortly after l o clock,
when the whole town was wrapped in
profound sleep. This building,which
was occupied by several negro SER
wants employed in the Hotel Camp,
was burned, the sales stables OF X. 7.
Hill & Co. catching fire next. Then
the brick store building of X. 2.
Hill & Co.. fronting on Main street.
Next the splendid three-story brick
hotel caught from the rear and it
was soon realized that it, too, was
doomed The brick building occu-
pied by the Farmers & Merchants
Bank then went and with it theframe
building occupied by NJ. c. Peasants.
The building known as the Winston
Hotel was burned next and here the
flames spent their fury. The Hotel
Pernell was only saved by the most
heroic efforts ara the fortunate TACT
that the wind did not happen to be
blowing toward the nearest buildings
at the time Had the flames crossed
Main and Nash streets as probably
they would have done had the wind
been blowing in either direction, the
business part of town would practl-
cally have been obliterated.
The GOLD LEAF sympathizes with
its neighbOring town and the lndl-
vidual losers, but knowing the stuff
they are made of it expects to see
them rise phGnix like from their
ashes, stronger and more beautiful
than ever.

JOKE on GOV. MONTAGUE.
Negro Convict Steals His Goodman $
Livery and Disapuears.

Richmond, Va, May 20.-John
Shaffer, 'trusty' from the peniten-
tiary, who was sentenced from Bote-
tourt county, for burglary, has es-
capped and is wearing the Governors
livery instead of the States. The
negro was sent to the executive sta
bles to carry some leaves for bedding
for the horses. No one was at the
stable, and spying the garments of
the Governors coachman, the con-
Wet quickly made a shift and disap-
peared. A sharp lookout is being
kept for him, but as there is nothing
particularly distinctive III the livery
of the Governor it is regarded as GER
tain that the negro will have little
trouble in getting away.
