Little While Longer.
Watkins Hardware Company Will
Continue Cooking Exhibit Until
Next Wednesday Night that 9th
ers MAY Avail Themselves of
Great Majestic Range Offer.

The cooking exhibit OF the Wat
kins Hardware Company will be con
tinued until next Wednesday night.
This exhibit was announced for tits
week only but SO satisfactory has it
been that the management are en-
cOuraged to continue it few days
longer in order to give greater num-
bers OF persons an opportunity to
visit the store and witness it. They
realize that one time seeing the Ma
!estlc range in operation is sufficient
toconvince any one OF its merits, but
only a limited number can visit the
store at one time and the demons
tration must necessarily be continued
from day to day-for a reasonable
length Of time-to accommodate all
who are interested.
The same conditions will apply as
long MS the exhibit continues. That
Is $50 worth of excellent kitchen
ware will be given free with each Ma
jestic range purchased. The Watkins
Hardware Company wish to impress
the fact that if you are in need OF a
range, it will be to your interest to
buy now, because you not only get
$50 worth of valuable kitchen ware
free but get the best range that can
be made for the money.
A cordial invitation is extended
every one to visit the store, have q
cup of coffee and biscuits, see the
great Majestic range in operation,
have the demonstration explain its
mechanism and superior points to
you, and they will feel that the time
and trouble has not been wasted
whether you buy or not. 1t is the adj
vertising-the future business--they
are after as much as present sales
Therefore they invite you and want
you to accept the invitation to visit
their store to see the cooking exhibit
with the Majestic range.
Mr.. I'll. L. Sterling, an expert from
the factory, is in charge and will give
cordial welcome to all visitors. There
is nothing about the Majestic range
that he does not know, and nothing
affords him greater pleasure than to
talk and exemplify the merits OF Ma
jestic ranges. Mr.. Sterling impresses
one as the right man in the right
place, as clever as he is versatile, and
one who ''breaks bread" with him
goes away with a good opinion of
the man aud the superior article he
represents.

Personal.

Mr.. D. NJ. Dunlop OF Baltimore, is
q Henderson visitor this week He
has been travelling in Texas and ad-
iacent territory for some months but
was called in temporarily by his
house on account of the unsettled
condition Of the money market. Mr.
Dunlop stopped over in Oxford be-
tween trains to see some friends and
although it had been 81 years since
he was there last he recognized many
familiar landmarks. 1t has been
nearl V % years since his last visit to
Henderson and he says it looks like
another place altogether. He is much
impressed with the street improve
ments and says in all his travels he
has not seen town Of the same size
that gives evidence of being a better
town than Henderson.

Trouble With the Lights.

1t is so seldom that there is any
trouble with the electric lights when
anything does go wrong Electrician
Woodwork wants to take thepublic
into his confidence and tell them
what was the matter When the
lights went out one night last week
and remained off longer than usual
Mr.. Woodwork could not answer
each phone call and explain the situa-
ton to enquiring customers and so
he desires the GOLD LEAF to make q
brief explanation for him. Because,
he had broken his record and was
worried about it. This was the first
time the lights had been out in the
first part of the evening-all of them
since the new plant was installed
three years ago. And two years OF
the three the plant was operated with
one engine and dynamo. The new
engine was put in less than year
ago. This is a good record and the
management challenges any plant in
North Carolina to show a similar
one.
But even in the best of regulated
plants accidents will sometimes occur
and the best of records be broken.
And some times trouble arises from
the most trivial causes. This was
the case last week. The threads of
two small brass screws on the regula-
tor stripped, the damage was done,
the machinery was crippled, the lights
we're out, and there was darkness
until the other engine could be
started. This had not been in use that
day, being cleaned and overhauled,
was cold and had to be started slow.
But for this the lights would not
have been out over three minutes.
Saying which the public knows why
the lights went Out-and appreciate
| the predicament Moses was i'll even
If they don't know where he was-and
Mr.. Woodwork can give attention
| to other matters now without taxi ne
| time to tell how it happened.

Gold Medal for Best Leaf Tobacco.

Among the prize winners at the
Jamestown Exposition was Mr..
Peter Mcmillan OF Vance county,
who was awarded a~gold medal for
best leaf tobacco. AS far as we have
observed in looking over the official
list Of awards this was the only gold
medal that comes to Vance county
and the distinction is therefore all
the more creditable to the young
man. Mr.. Mcmillan is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Mcmillan, and is &C
counted one of the most intelligent
and successful farmers of his years in
the county.
In this connection it may be stated
that Patapsco guanO, sold by the
Beacon Supply Company, was the
brand used by Mr.. Mcmillan in pro-
ducing his gold medal bright leaf
tobacco
