A BRIGHT Young Man.

The editor is pleased to learn of the
successful examination and appointment
of Mr. Leslie L. Allen, as Government
Expert in the Ordnance Department of
the Naval Factory. He is only % years
of age, is a son of our good friend. J. J.
Allen, Esq, and is the youngest man in
the United States who has ever received
this appointment. 1t was won upon
merit, he having stood a civil service ex-
animation. The salary is about 81, 900
a year.-Louisburg Times.
+. Mr.. Allen is a graduate of the
North Carolina Agricultural & Me-
chanical College, and is accounted
one of the brightest young men who
have gone out from that institution.
It will be gratifying to the friends
OF the young man as we'll as those OF
his excellent father and mother to
learn of his success and advancement
in his chosen career. Mr.. Allen s
first employment was as a mechani-
cal craftsman with the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. Later
he held a similar position with the
Trigg Shipyards, in Richmond, going
back to Newport News on an increas-
ed salary. His ambition has been to
get into the service of the Govern
ment and the GOLD LEAF notes his
success with personal pleasure.

BOUGHT an Extensive Stock.

Mr.. George A. Rose returned Fri
day from Baltimore and New York
where he has been buying fall stock
for the George A. Rose Company.
That he bought heavily the immense
piles of goods boxes being unloaded
in front of his place of business this
week are evidence in themselves. AS
to the character and quality OF the
goods and the cheapness thereof you
are cordially invited to visit their
store and examine for yourself. 1t
will be a pleasure to show the goods
whether you want to buy or not.
This is one OF their methods OF ad-
vertising and next to making a sale
their polite and obliging clerks are
never happier than when they have
an opportunity to display their
goods to admiring visitors.

Buckhorn Lithia Water in Demand.

Since the publication of the article
in the GOLD LEAF last week many
enquiries have been received about
Buckhorn Lithia Water and an in
creased demand made for it. People
are anxious to try it. Nor are they
disappointed. So great is the faith
of Messrs. Kelly and Hood in this
water that they are willing to put it
along side OF any other with any
honest man and il better results are
not obtained from the use of Buck
horn Lithia they will pay for both.
Could belief in the efficacy Of thing
be stronger than that? Fact is these
gentlemen have good thing in Buck
horn Lithia Water and they know it..

Mr.. E. B. Brady, agent of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway, informs the

very gratifying increase in their
business here. August showed big

Home from thu Worlds Fair.

DIR. John Hill Tucker has returned
from his Western trip and visit to
the Worlds Fair. He visited his
sister. Mrs. Chalmers, at Sparta,
Wisconsin, spent a while in Madison,
N;nneanolis and other cities and was
greatly impressed with the places
and people he saw. The DOCTOR
grows eloquent when speaking OF the
Worlds Fair and says he would not
have missed it for anything. He
and Mr.. Toepleman met on the
grounds by mere accident and the
pleasure of seeing a friendly and
familiar face was mutual. up to
that time neither had seen any one
whom he knew from these parts.

Roads Need Attention.

The public roads are in bad condi-

time to put them in good shape Tor
the winter. If they are in bad corH-
ton now what will they be when the
rains and freezes of cold weather
come? Are the road overseers doing
their duty? Court will soon be here
and this is thrown out as sugges-
ton. The reason we have bad roads
is because the people are content and
pay no attention to lettering their
condition. But we must get out OF
this. No farmer, merchant or bust
ness man can afford to travel over
bad roads.
