Glorious rains Monday afternoon and night, and again Tuesday, coming in good time. So far this spring the "seasons" have been all that the most exacting crop could require. The weather for some days has been most too cool for growing crops. Cotton espe cially.does not thrive under such unfavor able circumstances, while tobacco is re tarded in like maimer. The Painesville Democrat says the great trouble with American journalism is that the men who know ju-t how a newspaper ought to be run are unfortunately engaged in some other business. The Gold Leaf thanks Mr. W. B. Bur roughs, son of Mr. J. E. Burroughs, of Dabney, for an invitation to attend the commencement exercises of Oak Kidge In stitute, May 23th, ;?utli and 31st. II. E.

From Messrs. I). B. Kimball and E. L. Crocker, of this county, the Gold Lkaf has received an invitation to be present at the commencement exercises at Wake For est college, June 7th, 6th and 9th. The Sid ma Nets asks: "Does the Lord love the man who spends at church festi vals the money lie owes his washerwo man?" The Netrt man ought to be able to tell whether he is a christian or not. Dr. B. F. Dixon, of Oxford, will preach in the Presbyterian church at this place next Sunday, morning and night. A pleas ant and entertaining speaker he will doubt less have good congregations to hear him. When you go to the Racket Store to trade, if you don't see what you want ask for it. But we believe you can see as much in the general merchandise line as any place you can find, for it looks like they carry every thing.

This issue of the Gold Leaf is not alto gether what we would have it, but we do not like to make apologies. The editor has, j been somewhat " under the weather for several days, and when one is physically racked, just in proportion is he incapaci tated mentally. It is hard to write when you do not feel in the right mood. The ice cream and strawberry festival given by the Ladies' Aid society of the Metho.list Episcopal church at Burwell 1 1 all Tuesday night, was both pleasant and successful in its .nature. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the attend ance was very good and the receipts amounted to something over $40.00. Commencement exercises at Wake For est College will begin on the 7th of June. The Alumni address will be deliverd on that day by J. H. Mills ; the address to the societies on Wednesday, the 8th, by Hon M. W. Ransom, and the baccalaureate ser mon at 8 p. m. on the same day, by Rev, T. Armitage, D. D., of New York. The Governor has appointed our popular and highly esteemed townsman, Dr. J. H. Tucker, a member of the North Carolina Board of Health. A good selection. A well furnished, well poised physician and surgeon, and a splendid man and admir able gentleman, Dr. Tucker will reflect credit upon this or any position to which he may be appointed. When you go in to see a merchant in response to an advertisement you saw in the Gold Leaf, mention the fact to him. Tell him that you were attracted thither by his advertisement in the paper and you have come to take advantage of some of those rare bargains he has been talking about. It will not trouble or cost you anything and may be of some benefit to us. Handsome invitations are out for the commencement exercises of the Davis school Washington and Jefferson societies, on the 8th of June. Gen. E. W. Moise, of South Carolina, and Ex-Gov. W. E. Came ron, of Vriginin, will deliver addresses on the occasion. We are indebted to our clever little friend Sam Gregory of Crow ells, Halifax county, for an invitation to be present. Hands have been engaged for several days putting down rock ballast on the rail road track within the limits of town. This process raises the track about nine inches and makes the road-bed much more solid and lasting, to say nothing about the great advantage it rs in preserving the cross-ties. There is no road in the State in better con dition than this, nor is there one under bet ter management. The Justices of the Peace should bear in miud that sections 707 and 7i7 of the Conde require their presnce at the court house on the first Mouiday in June, and it is a meeting which every Justice should attend, as business of importance to the county is to be transacted at that time. The boards of assessors are also required to be present with the commissioners and magistrates on that day. We venture the aseition that Vance county now has one of Uu, b..st and saft jails in the State. It is small, it is true, but adequate to all necessary purposes, and with the patent steel cells is absolutely safe and non destructible. It is well ven ; tilated and its sanitarv condition as near perfect as an institution of its kind can be. I The arrangements for heating and making j it comfortable in winter are also good. The commencement exercises of Miss I Carrie Powell's school at Macon will take ! place to-day. The editor of the Gold Leaf acknowledges the courtesy of an in vitation to be present and regrets his Ina bility to do so. The voting lady has a very- successful school, and knowing what man ner of folk the good people of Macon are, we feel safe in saying the exercises to day will be of a mast pleasant and enjoj--j able nature. ; There's no one more willing to cross the i dark river.

Tliat he has had a pleasant and enjoyable time since lie left his smiling countenance plainly bespeaks. The Major says the National Drill was a big tiling, and his friends do not know how moch they missed by not seeing it. Their hearts would have swelled with Joy he says if they could have seen the boys keeping step to martial music during that gala occasion. But the Major does not say anything about keeping step to any other sort of music, to which it is surmised he has been drilling while away. Maueted. At Oxford, in the balmy morning of yesterday, in the happy morn ing of their lives, Dr. Graham Hunt aud Miss Lorena Bobbitt were bound together by Hymen's bonds, iu the presence of many friends.

Peesoxaia Glad to have a pleasant call from Brother J. A. Thomas of the Louis burg Timet last Friday. His paper now is the only one in the county, and he deserves all the better of his people for having stayed with them and labored for their in terests as he has. Every community should liberally support its local press. The newspaper is the advance guard of civiliza tion. To strangers it means thrift, and push, and progress. A town without a newspaper is dead indeed, but a newspaper without a tmcH has been known to exist and ultimately be tfce means of building up a thriving city.

Has local option been a benefit to Henderson, think you? If so, go to the polls and vote to continue it ; if not, then vote against it. This is a free country and you have a perfect right to ex ercise the privilege of your franchise as you think proper. Let there be no unkind word or feeling in the matter. Accord to others the same freedom and liberty of opinion and action as you claim yourself. Your neighbor has just as good cause to think you are wrong because jou do not think as he does as you have to condemn him for not thinking and acting with you. This is a matter for every man to decide for himself, as his judgment and conscience shall dictate. To get a good likeness of yourself, or to have an old pictuie enlarged and made as natural as life, at small cost, call on Geo. Newell, in the Art Gallery over Mr. Dorseys store. may 19 a. Honors for a Vance County Colored Man. II. P. Cheatham, of Vance county, delivered the address before the graduating class at Shaw University, Raleigh, last Thursday, and we see his effort very favor ably commented on. Plummer is one of our most intelligent and respectable col ored citizens and the Gold Leaf is pleased to learn that he acquitted himself so well. A large crowd of both whites and blacks were present and the occasion was one that reflected credit upon the race and the in stitution. The North Carohria Gatette says this: The oration rendered by Prof. II. P. Cheatham, of Henderson, on Thursday afternoon, before the alumni at Shaw, was masterly, able and cannot in our opinion be excelled. Mr. Cheatham is one of the progressive young men of his race. Remember II. II. Burwell has the Pied mont, Nissen and Champion wagons for sale at reduced prices. Two horse 45.00 and up; one. horse $30.00 and up. Road carts at o0.00. may 194 o. Religious. Rev. Charles D. Price, of Richmond, -Va., preached at the Presbyte rian church in this place last Sunday, morning and night. Mr. Price is Just from Hampdeu-Sydney college and has been sent by Orange Presbytery to supply the churches at Warrenton and Littleton. While he is a young man, and has just commenced work in the high and holy calling to which he purposes to devote his life-service, his manner in the pulpit is nat- ural and easy, his speech earnest and fer- I 1 .m. pieparea to ao all kind of jewelry re vih hn0 ti. ,w.t ttn. f hi. co,.. Pairing promptly and satisfactorily .Watch- ... j-. - mons showed study and research, and a logical conception of the truths as revealed iu the Scriptures. Altogether Mr. Price made a most favorable impression upon those who heard him Sunday, and if the Gold Leaf is not mistaken he has a bril liant and useful future before him. We believe our Presbyterian friends at War renton and Littleton are fortunate in hav ing had such a man sent to supply those churches. Ladies, look to your own interest. We are selling off our entire stock of new Millinery at half value. Call at once. Respectfully, J. E. Clarke A Co. Directed by Miss Thomas of Baltimore. Enlarging a Manufactory. Marburg Bros.. Charles street, near Barre, have completed plans for an extensive tobacco manufactory. Property 50 by 120 feet, ad joining their present building, and running to the corner of Barre street, has been bought, and the two houses now upon the ground will be removed at once. The front of the present building will also be torn down. The new structure will be 130 feet front on Charles street aud 120 feei on uarre street, u win ie seven stories high. ami the first story will be of rough rock granite and the other stories of brick, with granite trimmings. The greater part of the first floor manufacturing purposes. Large arched doorways will be constructed ou Charles and Barre streets, by which wagons may enter. The latest modern improvements will be adopted, including fire-escapes. It is the nitentiorr of the firm to make the building one of the best in the city. Work will begin immediately. Chas. L. Carson is the architect, and Chas. Markland the builder. Baltimore Sun. The Gold Leaf is pleased to note the above, as we feel an interest in this firm, they having a sort of "local habitation" here also. Their increased prosperity means more business for our market. Messrs. Marburg Bros, have a regular buyer here in the person of Mr. A. W. Schauni, who has been representing tbem a number of years. He is a large buyer for the firm they depending in large measure upon him for much of the peculiar types of tobacco for which the Henderson market is noted. J. H.

E. E. Hight, the popular young jeweler, is always studying to please and benefit his customers. Besides the large addition of clocks and jewelry he has lately made to his already large and well selected stock, he has put in several novelties to which he invites the public attention. Conspicuous among these is an improved collar button and scarf holder something new. Ue has heretofore sold something of the kind, but this is a new design and a decided improve ment on the other make. It is detachable, while the other is not, the cap having two sharp points which hold the scarf in posi tion when ouce properly adjusted. It can be seen at a glance that the double spike is an improvement on the single one, this preventing the cap or top of the button from turning when once Inserted in the scarf. And then an improvement has been made in another novelty carried only by Mr. Hight a combination button and scarf hold or for use on the back part of the collar. Formerly these buttons were plated but as they would soon corrode Mr. Hight discarded such goods from his stock and had them made in silver and solid gold only. His patrons will appreciate this bit of thoughtfulness and desire to please on the part of Mr. Hight. . . With all the modern improvements in Photography, Newell is prepared to give you first-class work at greatly reduced prices. Have your picture taken w hile your spring suit is new. may 19 a. Children's Day Celebration. The celebration of Children's Day by the Methodist Episcopal Sunday-school at Burwell Hall Sunday afternoon, was a very enjoyable occasion. There was a large crowd present, the hall being well filled. The singing and responsive read ing of the school, and the recitations of some of the smaller scholars, was much enjoyed, while the addresses of Rev. Frank L. lie id and W. H. P. Jenkins, Esq., came in for their due portion of praise. Mr. Reid's address was practical and timely, his theme well chosen and his remarks most appropriate. We are sure there was not a young person present whose heart he did not win, nor a parent or grown person who did not feel the truth of what he said. The speech of Mr. Jenkins was very ornate in its nature, his thoughts wandering at pleasure through halls of classic lore, and plucking sweet flowers of choicest rhetoric from the realm of poetry, he wove them at will into beautiful bouquets of elegant dic tion, fragrant with the rich perfume of a well stored mind coupled with the rare gift of oratory, which he hung in garlands and chaplets about every word and sen tence that fell from his lips. It is enough to say that Mr. Jenkins sustained his wll known reputation as an eloquent and im passioned speaker. Altogether the exer cises were of a very pleasant and enjoyable nature and our Methodist friends have cause to rejoice that Children's Day with them was spent so well and profitably. Notice. Having moved my office to H. A. Draper's Cabinet Shop, parties wishing draying will find me there when not at Depot May, 19, 1 1. E. W. Harris. Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co., at the brick warehouse, are selling large quanti ties of tobacco at satisfactory prices. With one of the best arranged houses in the State, and fair and liberal dealing, their trade continues to grow. They are also selling two of the most popular high grade tobacco fertilizers on the market, the " Pcidniont" and "Durham Bull," both brands that have given general satisfaction, and both of which they are selling cheap. Those in want of a guano they can rely on at the cheapest possible rates will do well to give them a call. They will sell your tobacco high and let you have guano cheap. Watch Work.

Very Respectful!, WILMOT WOOD, Watchmaker and Jeweleb, Hendersoo, N. C f may 123 J OCR MAN ON THE OUTSIDE. y CHIPS FRO A. HATCHXTT. Revenue collector Henry Perry is a ter ror to illicit dealers in whiskey. He catches somebody most every week. We wish it to be emphatically under stood, the party whose name appears at the head of tliis column is alone responsible for what appears in his space. Late reports from the tobacco growing section are very unfavorable. The cool dry weather of last week together with an unusual supply of bugs have about demol ished whatTtas been set, while there Is great scarcity of plants with which to reset. Truly the farmers are In bad luck; for three years different causes have militated against a good crop. On Friday of last week, Battle, of the New$-Oberver, Hardy, of the State Chroni cle, and Thomas, of the Times, Louisburg, were all here. 'Twas a hard day for the "man on the outside" who followed them around and did his best to keep some of his patrons from being talked to death before they had awopportunity of settling the lit tle bills due this office. . Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co., report their sales of tobacco for the two weeks ending on the 28th, as amounting to 190,472 pounds. We have no report from the other houses, but as all of the'four houses here have had good breaks for this time, assuming that Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co. have sold one third of the total amount (which we sup pose about correct) it makes the aggregate in Henderson for two weeks 571,416. The entire sales for May will be about one and a half million pounds. Mr. H. Halls of the tobacco firm of Jno. C. Mullen & Co., London, England, arrived here on the yesterday evening's mail, and is the guest of Messrs. Clary Bros., who have made his house a number of ship ments, among them the first through bill of lading ever gotten , from this place to England. This is Mr. Halls' first trip to North Carolina and we hope he may find it pleasant and profitable. Had he gotten here sooner, however, he could liave seen a better exhibit of the "weed." We teuder acknowledgments for invita tions to attend the closing exercises of the Middleburg Academy on June 14th, to the grand annual ball at Oxford on the ldth, to closing entertainment of Mr. E. G. Butler's school at Dabuey same- date, and to various other commencements, pic-nics, fishing parties, and other pleasurables in which this season doth abound. We shall attend as many of them as our purse and wardrobe will permit, and trust we may meet friends who will put something in the "Missionary box." At a prohibition meeting in the court house on Monday night last, Rev. Mr. Uolden took us to task for having put in these columns "The railroad books show ing there is as much received here as when the bar rooms were open," stating, upon the authority of a railroad official there was not more than half the whiskey" came here that did under the old order of things. Mr. Holden's authority is good, but no bet ter than ours, who is also a railroad offi cial with equal opportunity for knowing. The fact is, it is simply a matter of guess with both authorities, and, the burden of proof devolving on the negative, we cannot admit our statement to be incorrect till the "facts and figures" are produced to prove it so. The prohibitionists are making a vigorous crusade against bar rooms in Henderson, with a strong probability of victory. If there had been a stricter execution of the law the past twelve mouths, there would, we think, be but little opposition to its continuance. We regret the ministers of the Gospel have thought it necessary to enter the arena. To descend from the highest calling man is heir to, the preach ing of "Christ and Uim crucified" to the slums of whiskey and politics, of which they are more ignorant than of theology, will, we fear, militate against their usefulness in the advancement of that higher cause. If our views upon this subject be wrong, we at least have the consolation of know ing they are the same as those entertained by some of the most eminent divine's of the day. We had the pleasure of a short visit to Kittrell on Saturday. Reaching there on the early morning train, before many of his quiet denizens had escaped from the arms of Morpheus, we strolled through the town, coming upon some twenty-five or thirty hands gathering tempting looking strawberries on the premises of Mr. O. W Blacknall. Extending our walk bejoni the corporate limits where the perfume of the dew laden wild honeysuckle was borne upon the morning breeze, we could but moralize upon the fate, or whatever it was. that prevented the famed springs of this place from being kept open as a summer resort for the pleasure seeker, aa well as the diseased iu body. Here, during win ter, many wealthy Northerners make their home in the noted Davis Hotel, whose glass covered porticos and verandas make it a veritable conservatory of comfort and pleasure in the bleakest weatlier. Kit trell has cause to be proud of her record. She has, confessedly, the best hotel in the State; shA is the god-mother of "Mazeppa" chewing tobacco; her corporation is entirely out of debt; she has paid her preachers in full; given one of them a horse in addition; she has the most flourishing and best con ducted colored school in the State; and last, but not least, she pays for her newspapers. Vance county, too, should be proud she has such a town, and should foster and encour age her. Just now there is a chance to give some recognition to her worth and desert in the appointment of a County Commissioner to fill the place of the la mented Geo. II. Yancey. She, and her section, are entitled to some representation on the County Board, and we doubt notour magistrates will grant it in the appoint ment of Mr. Chas. II. Williams, who is not only the choice of that community, bat a man of sterling worth and fine business capacity. CUT YOUrIiEAD OFF! .
