LACONICS PICKED UP HERE AND THEREBY OUR EAGLE-EYED REPORTERS. - :o: " Old Winter will swa flop squarely down into the lap of Autumn. Many a man has been 6zr-rcd from suc cess because he "loved his enemy" better than himself. Some of our progressive fanners will contest for the premiums on yellow tobacco at the State Fair. The Oxford train now makes two trips a day regulaily. This is, very convenient ar rangement for persons having occasion to visit our neighboring town. Italh tobacco and cotton always com mand the highest market price when sold in Henderson. This is the testimony of those w ho patronize this market. Small industries and jleHty of Uieni arc "what we want. Extraordinary returns are received from all kinds of manufacturing enterprises when properly managed. The sales of tobacco have been very heavy tins week, the high prices at which it is helling being the cause of the hurry on the part of the farmers to bring it In. llemember the grand opening and pre mium sale of tobacco takes place at Coop er's new brick warehouse Friday, 14th inst. See advertisement for list of premiums. It yet remains an unsettled mathemati cal problem, which starts tiie quicker, a woman at the siybt of a mouse or man a when invited to take something with a friend. Ever' mechanic and tradesman should feel that the Gom Leak is a special friend and advocate of his. Whether directly or indirectly it is laboring to promote his prosperity. The fine quality of tobacco of the new crop being sold is a subject of daily com ment. Take it all through, as viewed upon our warehouse floors, we have, never seen a crop that showed more color. Prof. Lowanda, the magician and his comedy troupe will open ot Burwell Hall on the 10th for an engagement of three Slights. They come well recommended by the press where they have been. Mr. Andrew J. Harris has moved his law office from over Missillier's hardware tore, to .the Harris law building next to the court hocse. Persons having business with him will hear this in mind. The sales of tobacco are very much heavier than usual at this -season of the year, the rxtra high prices at wtoich it is selling encouraging farmers to market it almost as fast as they can get it stripped. Cotton is coming into market in large quantities. Our buyers pay top notch prices always, cah or trade. Henderson has the advantage of being a good cotton market iis well as the leading yellow tobacco mar iet of the State,. Let every person who liasanything worth showing send it to the fair. This will be on advertisement for both the exhibitor and the county. Let us acquaint the world auore with what we have and are doing in the line of progress. The new season having fully opened commencing with thisissne the Gold Leak will hereafter publish the quotations of the tobacco market, corrected weekly, and 310 farmer cannot afford to do without it. Kow is the time to subscribe. The blessing of the printing press Is aptly illustrated by Oooilill's Chicago Sun, when it says that when Robert Hoe perfected the lightning press he conferred a larger ben efit on mankind tha all our astronomers Jiave conferred in a century. The Gold Leaf acknowledges the re ceipt of a complimentary ticket of invita tion to the State Fair, together with a tick et of admission to refreshment hall during the week. Those Raleigh people know how to do the clever thing always. The subscription list of the local paper always shows the best and most useful citizens of the county, just as its advertis ing columns indicate w ho the most ener getic and enterprising business men of the community are. These are never failing signs. The way tobacco is selling on the Hender son market at present, the man who is the lucky possessor of a few barns ef the yellow leaf, can soon convert it into enough of the solid, sordid stuff called money, to be rec eguited as something of a capitalist among his less fortunate fellow-men. It is only on the calm current of trade and manufacture that Henderson can ride to her glorious destiny of wealth and pros perity, and whatever tends to promote such should receive the hearty encouragement and co-operation of our people. Let us hold out every inducement to attract these. Capital and labor, in Henderson, are as lofty music set to noble words. There is no conflict or strife of any kind between the two here. This is one great consideration to the capitalist who wishes to invest his means in manufacturing enterprises, and no field offers better inducements for in vestment in certain lines. The amusement season opens at Burwell 11 all Monday evening, loth, when Prof. Rwanda's (lift Concert company will .occupy the. boards. A number of valuable presents will be distributed among;the aud If.ice each night. Reserved seat tickets 3J cents ; general admission 25 cents ; gal lery 20 cents ; children 15 cents. From present indications it looks as if the circuses will give us the go by again this season. While we are getting a little circus hungry, the country vill be better off without them, and taking this riew of iue matter we are willing to forego the pleasure of drinking eircus lemonade and swallowing dust beneath the eauvas. Mr. J. A. Stallings is getting in his new gocdi and invites his friends to call and inspect his slock. He has been so busy re ceiving and opening goods all the week that he has not had time to make a change in his advertisement as was his intention. Input line of ladies' dress goods, fine shoes, gloves, trimmings, buttons, &c, he shows some prettv patterns and all marked down low. Gents furnishing goods a specialty, k. beautiful line of neck wear just in. Our young friend Arch Cheatham left Monday for Baltimore, to attend a final course of lecture at the University of Mary land Medical College. Our best wishes attend kiia. Mr. Tlios. II. Clary, of the extensive house of Hi Usui a n & Myers, clothiers and merchant tailors, Lynchburg, Va., is here this week, having come down to he present at the marriage -of his brother yesterday morning. There Is a growing impression abroad that the Gold Leak is something of a rustler itself. Well, its circulation Is not so enormously large as some, others (claimed) nor is it raking in a Irarrel of money a day but it manages to keep up with the procession, while as a wide-awake, uewy local paper it is a long ways ahead. Ludington & Aycock have been sending out large quantities of very neat job work lately. As they constantly add to their stock ef types, stationery, etc., their facil ities for doing a much larger range of work are increased. They not only supply a larger part of the home demand but send work abroad, even beyond the borders of the State. The town authorities have at last begun to make war on dogs. A tax of ?1.00 is necessary now for any four legged dog to run at 'arg Those found without a collar and badge will be caught and impounded and then it will take $1.00 to get them out. After being kept up three days those not claimed and the tax paid on them will be etliewise disposed of. The most extensive crop of onions from a small peice of land that we have heard of so far, has Just been gathered by our young druggist friend Will Cheatham. On less than one-half acre he raised near ly 100 bushels of onions enough to break up the chances of marriage of every court ing man in the county if he should eat of them plentifully before starting out to see his lady love. Our young friend W. Y. Swain is easily the Furman among young farmers here abouts. He made a splendid tobacco crop this year and has had signal success in curing it. John W. Clark engineered the flues for him and no one perhaps knows Ijetter how to get the best results there- from. If Wes does not get some extra big J prices ior nis tooacco tne uold leaf will be disappointed. What our town and section needs is more money, to operate more manufacto ries. Our business men should form them selves into an association to attract for eign capital. An offer to unite with capi talists who arc seeking investments in the South would certainly meet with a favora ble response. Let us organize and do something along this line. What say you? Who will move in the matter? Our merchants have all returned from the Northern markets where they have been making large purchases of new goods for the fall and winter trade. Every train brings immense quantities of merchandise of every description and the drays are kept busy hauling them from the depot to their respective places of destination. Consult our advertising columns for tiie best and cheapest places to buy. Work on the railroad from Clarksville to Oxford is being pushed rapidly forward. The consummation of this scheme gives us a competing line, putting Henderson in direct; communication with Richmond via Clarksville and Keysville, over tie Rich mond & Danville system, a tiling most de voutly to be wished. Another year we will not have to pay $2.20 a ton freight on coal, in car load lots, from Richmond. Let us have more factories. It would be a paying investment if the business men should unite and establish a number of small industries. They would not only materially benefit the town but repay tbe owners in two ways : the profits accruing from the manufactured wares, and the extra amount of money put into circulation by the operatives, for food supplies, cloth ing, &c. It is the manufacturing commu nity that is the truly prosperous one. Read all the advertisements in this paper. They are the personal invitation to you of our leading and most enterpris ing merchants, are neat and attractive, and will tell you something to your advan tage, it is tne live, wiae-awane man you want to deal with, the man who does busi ness upon business principles, who turns over his money rapidly and is content with quick sales and small profits. These are the kind of men who advertise. The Gold Leaf is appreciative of the many kind and complimentary things that have been said about it, and while it feels that it does not fully merit them, they will serve to stimulate it to sMch eifoits in the future as will entitle it to credit for trying to attain to such excellence as its admiring friends have accorded it. We must step a long way forward before we reach the mark that others seem to have set for us. We have already begun to receive re quests from abroad for copies of the indus trial Issue of the Gold Leap when it is published. People at a distance have read and heard so much about Henderson that they arc anxious to know more and see what sort of business houses, private residences and public buildings we have. But it will be some time yet before we can show them on paper even if we are suc cessful in our undertaking. "The Master's Questions." Through the kindness of our good friend Walter R. Henry, Esq., the Gold Leaf publishes upon its title iage this week a beautiful little poem under the above caption. It was written by Mr. W. C. Etberidge, a talented young lawyer of Bertie county who writes in this vein more for pastime than anything else. On a recent viit to Mr. Etheridge's home Mr. Henry picked up a piece of paper from the floor and found the poem written on one side while some figuring had been on the other. His request that it be given him was granted and thus we got it. Read it. About the New Railioad Some inter est is felt about the matter of when work Is to be commenced on the Durham & Hen derson railroad and we have frequently been asked concerning it. The prom ise was that dirt would be broken as soon as p.wsible after tho subsci ip io;i had been voted by the two towns, but since then we have heard nothing officially about the matter. It was reported that surveyors would be here last week to locate the ter minusto fix the point of entrance into the corporate limits and determine upon the manner of reaching the depot, but nothing of the kind has yet been done. But it is time dirt was moving if much progress is expected to be made before next spring. Pkbsosal. Miss Lula A. Hester, who has been teaching vocal and instrumental music at Henderson Female College, left Tuesday for New lork City where she goes to pursue a special course of study and training in those branches. Possessing naturally a fine voice, full volumed, flexi ble and sweet, careful and thorough culti vation will greatly improve it, while at the same time she will be better fitted ror the office of teacher, which already she has filled with marked success, and the Gold Leaf commends the young lady for adopt ing the course she has. When she returns to us she will be even more highly accom plished as a musician and a more charming vocalist than ever. May her stay in New York be both pleasant and beneficial in the highest degree. Ik Hymen's Halter. As one young married couple left Henderson yesterday morning for a Northern bridal tour, an other arrived on the afternoon train under like felicitous circumstances bound South. In Baltimore Tuesday morning Capt. J. E. Crichton, of Petersburg, Va., was married to Mrs. Nora Simpson, a lady of highest worth whose gracious manner and rare charms of person make her a favorite of all who know her. Capt. Crichton and has accomplished bride arrived here last evening and are stopping for a short while with the family of Mr. A. R. Wortham, relatives of the groom. The Gold Le af congratulates its handsome and courteous and cJeyer young friend upon the wise and happy choice lie has made, and wishes for them both a long and blissful and pros perous married life. Oxe Hundred Presents to One Hun dred People. This is what is promised by Prof. Lowanda the celebrated magician and ventriloquist, whose company is to open at Burwell Hall for an engagement of three nights Monday evening. The troupe is said to be one of the best of its kiud now on the road, and is composed of Prof. Lowanda magician and vetriloquist; Madam Lowanda the great mind reader ; J. C. Cullivan, in his laughable imitations; Miss Jessie Clifton, the charming and win ning young commedienne, "who constantly captivates the hearts of her hearers ; " Lawrence Lund, vocalist and dancer ; and Alf. Christie, the inimitable burnt cork artist. The performance is strictly moral, free from the objectionable features of many sleight-of-hand shows and gift Hendersox Female College. The second term of Henderson Female College has opened well. New boarding pupils are yet coming in every week. The Gold Leaf is pleased to know that the future of the school is very encouraging. It has been the aim of the President, Rev. J. M. Rhodes, A. M., to make this strictly a school of high grade, remarkable for the thoroughness of its curriculum and excel lent discipline, as Henderson is for its healthfulness and natuaral advantages for such an institution. In view of all these things Mr. Rhodes has engaged the services of an additional teacher, Miss S. L. Kerr, a sister of the late Prof. W. C. Kerr, LL. D., Shite Geologist. Miss Kerr was atone time a member of the faculty of Peace Institute, and lias taught in other prominf nt c'.iools of the State. She c dues strongly endorsed as a lady of decided talent, a thorough scholar and a very suc cessful teacher. OUR ILLUSTRDATED INDUSTRI AL EDITION. What Some of our Exchanges say of it. few the one Married. At the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Bnxlie, near town, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, October 5th, Miss Lizzie Brodie and Sir. Paul Clary, Rev. Julian E. Ingle performing the ceremony. No cards. The attendants were : Mr. Thos. II. Clary and Miss Fannie Brodie ; Mr. B. T. Brodie and Miss Sallie Clary ; Mr. Whit Clary and Miss Betha Gregory ; Mr. Thos. J. Mitchell andJMiss Nannie Young ; Mr. Lew Green and Miss.Lucy Gregory. The affair was a veiy quiet one ouly a immediate friends and relatives of families being present. The groom is of our popular and successful young tobac-coi.i-.ts, and the bride one of Vance coun ty's loveliest and most attractive daughters. The marriage ceremony over the happy young couple came to town anil took the train for an extended trip to Washington City, New York, Niagara Falls and the Luray Caves. The Gold Leaf joins with a host of friends here and elsewhere in wishing for Mr. and Mrs. Clary tha ripest and richest fruits of health and happiness and prosperity, as hand in hand they go sailing over the blissful Sea of Matrimony with hearts attuned to sweetest music of peace and joy and love. The bridal presents many, beautiful and costly. To be able to appreciate health and pros perity, one must know what sickness and adversity are ; and so the country newspa per publisher who has toiled and strug gled along for years embarrassed by the slow process of printing his edition with an old-time hand-press, knows how to ap preciate the change to an improved cylin der power press of modem times. And when that change has been brought about by admiring friends and sympathizers as a gift from them, then it is to be doubly ap preciated. And so it has beeu with our talented and enersetic vounc friend J. II. Lindsay, Esq., editor and proprietor of the Keruersville News and Farm, and secre tary and treasurer of the North Carolina Press Association. Appreciating the dis advantages he was laboring . under by being forced to use a hand-press in the publication of his paper, with the object iu view of better preparing him for better work, a number of the leading business men of Kernersville clubbed together and made up a purse and present ;d it to him as an evidence of their appreciation of his services to the town and community. The result is the News and Farm office has Just been fitted up with a ?1,000 Campbell printing press, and it goes without saying if the paper has exerted a power and influ ence for good heretofore, now it will be en abled to wield a still greater one. No per son is more competent to testify as to the aiivantiTM of a machine of this kind, and commenting on the pro edition of the Gold Leaf which is to similarly equip ourself. Broth er Lindsay very kindly has this to say in our behalf : LET MERIT BE REWARDED. If there has been a weekly newspaper in i take in North Carolina that has striven naraer to build up its town and county, and shown greater devotion for the work than any other, we believe it is the Henderson Gold Leaf. Vance county had attained a rep utation of being a poor place in which to run a paper, and those hitherto published had proven anything else COMMUNICATED. In deference to the wishes of a number of oar friends, who have themselves ex pressed a personal Interest in the matter, we publish below Rev. M. V. McDuffie's second letter, receiptor which we acknowl edged last week, but declined to publish at the time, giving as our reason for so doing that while we appreciate all that is said of the Gold Leaf, further publica tion of such articles in our own columns smacked most too much of self-laudation, if not urgency of the matter under consid eration. But when Brother McDuffie's proposition is reinforced by outside influ ence, finding ourself in the minority we again surrender our columns. Editor Gold Leaf.j THAT PROPOSITION. To raise a purse of one thousand dollars and present it to the Editor of the Gold Leaf as an expression of the grateful rec ognition by the leading citizens of the in valuable influence of that paper in for warding harmoniously and championing every interest of the town a id county for the last five or six years, should be en dorsed enthusiastically. How easy it would be to raise ! It is only necessary for 100 men to give $10 each and you have tbe About the Jail. Henry Young, the colored jail keeper, tatisfies the Gold Leaf that be Is not altogrter to blame boot tbe matter of which we spoke lat week the Inability of the county physi cian to get in there at certain hours. Henry says be is paid no salary for keeping tne Jail, only allowed 30 cents a day each fof uuaraiug ujc prisoners, and that he to re quired to bo there but twice a day. at 9 o'clock in the morning 3 la the arternoon, when he gives them their breakfast and dinner. This of course to not enough for him to live and support a family on, and In addition he follows his regular occupa tion as a painter. In tills the Gold Leaf does not find fault with the Jailor but It censures tueh a policy on the part of the county authrities that requires the prisoners to be left with no one to look after or minister to them from 3 o'clock la the afternoon until 9 in tiie morning. Of course the Jailor some time goes there between those hoars, or if hU services are called for. but to not required to do m. The Gold Leaf thinks a reas onable salery should be paid, and the Jailor required to stay on the premises. $1,000; or lor 50 men to give 310 and 100 more to give fcr each and you have the For Sale. . i," :,: r. iirri. kw".. uo. rrwer engine. con- w u., ,'-!, L" V vc piete. wut be sold on reasonable terms. nwl it 1 v f riw ml a In h tnvr n II wl HE ZOLUCOFrtR. nullum me mucin it uiasuriy struggle ior Attorney. the forward movement of the Gold Leaf section of the State.

Coopeh's New Brick Warehouse The finishing touches are being made upon Cooper's new brick warehouse, and while sales have been going on daily in one part of the building or the other ever since tl e work of construction was first begun, the grand opening sale proper will take place on the 1-lth inst., Friday of next week. ! This is one of the largest and best equipped tobacco warehouses in the State, the ar rangement of ofheesand camp rooms be ing all that could be desired, 4iud altogether it is such an establishment as the energetic and enterprising proprietor may feel justly proud of. It is indeed a splendid testimo nial to the business sagacity, successful career and progressive spirit of its owner. Appreciating the patronage the tobacco farmers tributary to this market have given him in the past and desiring to shew this in some tangible form, Mr. Cooper has arranged a list of premiums to be awarded at his big opening sale on the 14th, upon certain conditions, the particulars of which ma' be seen by reference to advertisement in this paper. The highest market price is guaranteed to all who sell Cooper's warehouse that day. than financial successes, wnen inaa juanuuiK hcmv micio and established the Gold Leaf, he threw into the work a vim and whole-souled zeal that turned the tide, and the paper lived. What has it done for Henderson and the people of Vance county? Rather, what has it not done for them ? It has beeu unswer ving in its allegiance. It has advertised the resources, advantages and glorious possibilities of Henderson as few papers) would have done. It has always been a credit to the town and the best advertise ment it could oossibly have had. Mr. ; Mnniiiff has been untiring in his zeal. I fer and Dr. F. R. Harris ; and these gentle men will I know pardon me for the liberty thus using their names in this connection. I know what character of men they are and how ready always to forward any good wcrk or promote any public en terprise. By either one or all of them giving this matter a little attention they could make the Editor smile forever, while at the same time they would be doing a public good a lasting benefit to the town and county in promoting the progress and furthering the usefulness of their local paper. And any man who has done as much as this Editor to make bright, and make smile the State, esjecially the town of Henderson and county of Vance, de serves by grateful btuinest men. and pron ertif jowntrt to be made himself to smile audibly even to laugh and grow fat.

Every paper that is compelled to use a hand-press labors under great disad vantages. The Gold Leaf is doing this, and it should do so no longer. Mr. Man nine realizes that he cannot hope to pros per unless lie gets a larger and better press, and proposes to get out an immense indus trial edition to aid h'nn in this particular, lie asks no greater favor than the assist ance of the business men. It will le a re flection on them if he does not succeed in getting a power-press at once. He deserves it, not alone for what lie has done, but for what he will be enabled to do.

OXFORD NOTES. We went to Oxford on Monday to be present at the grand opening tobacco sale of Messrs. Davis & Gregory, and although a prominent tobacco dealer there, who used to live in Henderson, declined to take the Gold Leaf because it " talked about over the columns of the Wilson Mtrror, from whose highly polished surface are re flected each week some of the most charm ing prosi -poems that ever found conception in the mind and soul of man, flings this beautiful bouquet of sentiment fragrant with the rich perfume of truest friendship, at us, and brightens and cheers and makes glad our heart by the kind and compll- , mentary manner in which he speaks of our ( enterprise.

Mr Sprunt preached some excellent sermons during the progress of these meetings and many who have been regular attendants upon them regret that they have been brought to a close. Conversing with farmers daily we learn that they are highly elated at the fine prices obtained for their tobacco sold here. Well satisfied they all seem to be and cheerful and chatty are they after they have received their bill of sales. No mar ket in the State has a reputation for pay ing better prices for all grades of the leaf aud our warehousemen and dealers com mence the new business year with renewed energy and a full determination to surpass all former efforts. Aew tooacco is being marketed very rapidly. The offerings show that this is one of the finest crops ever cured in this section, and of course both leaf and color will improve with age. Prices for all grades rule high and fanners wear cheer ful countenances as a natural consequence With good corn, pea and potato crops to go upon instead of having to rely upon their tobacco or cotton for everything, the farmers hereabouts are iu better circumstances than they have found themselves in several years.

Speaking of them an exchange says : lhis talented company of vocalists, of which Herr Andre is the conductor, met with considerable patronage last week during their appearance at the Temperance Hall, the cuoir appeared in Swiss cos tumes, which gave a most picturesque ef fect. The entertainment itself was or a very high order, comprising solos, duets, choruses. &e., and we must In justice say that each Item was produced with true artistic ability. The frequent applause F roved how much enjoyment was derived rom the concert. The vocalists have voices of good musical quality, and the chorues were given with remarkable fluency and precision. Two of the selections were of an unusual character the one a glgilira solo, aud the other a zither duet. Both were given with great skill, and these were among the most heartily encored. The programme was divided into two portions, sacred and secular, aud the manner in writing." j In an experience of twenty years in the trade, we have never before, seen so much new tobacco on any market so early as the first week in October, every warehouse iu the place being filled, with many wagon loads packed away in prize houses for sale when it could be reached. Unfortunately for them, the house hav ing the opening sale, were forced to crowd It to such an extent as to militate some what against the sale. The sale in this house took two hours and forty minutes, and from there everybody went to the Minor house, where our young friend Lutlujr Stark did the "crying." The next sale was in the Meadows house, Meadows, Wilkinson & Co., proprietors. This house turned off about forty wagons in order to give the piles the regulation distance of 6 by J8 inches, losing large commissions rather than have the sale of their patrons' tobacco damaged by crowding and walk ing over. The cryer at this house, known in all the markets as " D.

It is Henderson's opportunity to greatly benefit itself, and at the same time reward the untiring efforts and praiseworthy example of one of the truest friends of that town and one of the noblest and bitrcest hearted editors in the State. Thad Manning has thoroughly con secrated his splendid abilities to the oTowth and prosperity and welfare of Henderson, and its citizens should nobly respond to 1dm now. and brighten his dream with the radiant gleamings of mag nificent fruition, and at the same time her ald forth the advantages that lie imledded in that place of magnificent capabilities, And our cood friends of the Roanoke Newt, Weldon, appreciating the value such an edition of the paper as the oue we con template would be to the town and county, have a kind word of encouragement for us.

Editor Gold Leaf. K" IrV'bfreb remarkable that this house sells tobacco at as high prices as anybody in the State. The celerity and correctness of W. I. Wilkinson, the book-keeping man of the concern, is another reason of the house's popularity with the tobacco growers, and of it success the past year, which has com pelled them to lengthen their selling floor to two hundred arid forty feet. Without det riment to any other house in Oxford, or which it was gone through gave universal elsewhere, we are not going farther than the facts warrant when we say this firm compose a trio whose experience, energy. asm.

Even if we had space it would be superfluous to say more of a coucern so well known. In our next issue we will pay our respects to some more of Oxford's energy and grit.

Tiie Gold Leaf Is doing a splendid work for Hen derson and its business, but could do still more with proper assistance, and it ought j to have this. The object of the publica- ', tion of such an issue is to aid in tlic pur chase of another and better press, in which laudable undertaking we are sure the pub lisher will have the generous support and encouaragement of the enterprising people of that progressive town. No paper that is embarrassed in its publication in any way can do its town justice, and when it seeks to better itself iu this respect the cordial sympathy and heartv co-operation of tbe business men should be given it. It is greatly to their interest to have the town and its facilities made known to the world, and In no way can this be better done than hrrtiitrh the eolnmii of tiie local naner. The Gold Leaf Industrial issue would do Henderson an immense amount of good and th advertisements would pay toar-iold. Thev would be benefitted both directly and indirectly. We know of no man who is more capable of managing such an enter- orise than Thad Manning, and we hope he will succeed In this uuself h effort for the good of his good city and its enterprising business men.
