TOWN AND COUNTRY. LOCAL LACONICS PICKED UP HERE AND THERE EY OUR EAULfc-titu REPORTERS. i :o: 1 The court docket is a rather small one this term. siot.t notatoes are an abundant com nifdity in market now. Work is rapidly progressing Youns and Watkins brick stores. on the Mrs C. Ii. Briscoe of Richmond, is here vuna her son Mr. W. W. Briscoe, at t)resent. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Jordan left Monday T.u.rninir to attend the Piedmont Exposi tion at Atlanta. fra Mi-nKP of Richmond, mother of Jil-i. Messrs. Nathan and Abe btrause, is visiting her sons in our town. The sickness of the editor for a day or two this week must account for all short comings in this issue. Mr. C. D. Hill a prominent tobacconist of Richmond, lias been upon our market for several days this week. Henderson's future grows brighter every day. New enterprises are constantly being inaugurated and others will follow. A very' K'! crowd left to attend the Stitc Fair yesterday, considering the un favorable condition of the weather. The attendance upon court has been quite small this week. Few people are here who have not business to bring them. The fall overcoat has come to stay, while the linen duster and straw hat will be carefully put aside for some other day. Tuesday was a dirty, rainy day in the truest sense of the word. The crowd in at tendance upon court was slim on that ac count. Mr Matt Jordan, of Danville, Va., is here this week to see his brother Henry T. Jordan who has been quite sick for some weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Faul Clary are at home, having returned Saturday night. They met w ith a hearty reception at the hands of their many friends. The hunting season has opened. The law says birds may be shot after October l.lth. The neighboring woods and fields will soon be full of luckless gunners. Mr. Lysander Harris of Georgia, son of our townsman Mr. Geo. A. Harris, is here on a visit at present. Mr. Harris has many friends in Henderson who are pleased to sou lim. Dr. E. surgeon F. Halstead, a noted veterinary of England is stopping here at present. See his advertisement in this issue and lei him see your lame and diseased borses. Closely examine our columns and you can form some idea of the estimation in which the Gold Leak is held as an adver tising medium by the live business men of the town. ltev. Alex Sprunt has gone to Wilming ton to olbciate this evening at the marriage f Iiis sister. Miss Genie Sprunt, to Prof . Holmes, of the University. lie will be b ick to-morrow. The woods are a picture these autumn days and those who miss seeing the glow of grandeur on the leaves misses a natiual picture that can not be duplicated by all the subtlety of art. Barnes, Stainback & Co., offer special bargains in Hour. They sell Patapsco Superlative (and all housekeepers know what that is) for (.00 a barrel. They ask a trial. (Jive them a call. A word to the wise : If you would be happy and contented, subscribe at once for the Gold Leaf. Another likewise: if you would In? successful and prosperous in business, advertise in the same. The Durham Recorder says the surveyors of the Durham & Northern railroad are surveying a new route northward, and that the road may yet go to Frankiinton. This would be an unexpected turn in affairs, surely. The universal verdict is that no company lias ever appeared at Burwell Hall that gave more general satisfaction than did the Swiss Warblers Saturday night. Those who did not hear them missed a rich musi cal treat. Never was there so large a break of to liacco, of such uniform quality, sold at such satisfactory prices, as that last Friday This was a subject of special comment among the large number of visiting buyers here from a distance. One of our exchanges is authority for the declaration that there is no love so intense ns that of the 18 year old youth for tlw 26 year old girl, lie gets over it of course, but while it's in motion it's sixty-miles to the hour, including stops. Our merchants are showing fine lines of seasonable goods, and offer barain to purchasers. Hear what they say through these columns. The live business man who can hold out inducements to you to deal with him invites your trade through the medium of his local paper. Our neighbor the Is kind enough to say this of us: We notice that our friend of the Gold LsFis making an effort to get up an iu- dUMiini im- oi ins paper, in mis we oSJnrTlLflKUnt,edUCCess and hop.e he will get a very large number of sub - seniors, and realize In full the object of his enterprise. A " corner" in sugar is the latest thing, the refiners having combined to put the price up, and housekeepers are again to experience something like the outrage practiced upon them in the late "coffee combination." The difference in the price of granulated sugar is already marked. Business men who desire to reach the people iu this section of the State should avail themselves of the use of Gold Leaf's advertising columns. The testimony of those in position to know is that it pays, while the respectable patronage we re ceive from the leading business houses in town speaks louder than words alone. They know a good thing when they see it, be- causc s -eing (by using our columns) is knowing, aud that accounts for the . large number of home advertisements we are parrying, If you want to keep posted alout the Henderson tobacco market read the Gold ; Leap. The cheapest thing out three cakss of fine toilet soap for 5 cents at II. Thomas- on s. Good size cake3 nut ud in nice boxes. Buy your furniture of J. M. Ryall & Co., where you get good goods at low prices, is the advice of those who have traded there. Mr. F. C. Murphy manager of the house here, or George Jordan who is with him, will take pleasure in showing stock and quoting prices. Store in the O'Neil build ing. As will be seen by advertisement in another column, Mr. W. W. Reavis offers the storehouse on Main street now occupied by I. C. Rowland & Co., for rent next year Also the building at present occupied by the Bank of Henderson, and a dwelling liouse on Breckenridge street, opposite Maj Harris' residence. John E. Clarke & Co. of the f amours "Racket Store," spread themselves in a half double column advertisement and tell their patrons something about the workings j of the casli and credit system and the solid values they are offering in genuine Lav- gains at their store. See advertisement and give them a call. The Germantown Independent is responsi ble for the following. It says : The silly man sitteth down in his store and moaneth of the dull times and the gloomy future, but the wide-awake store-keeper planteth an advertisement in the local newspaper and hath to keep a special officer in front of his store to keep his customers in line. Every man in the county should be a sub scriber to his home paper. Besides giving value received in the amount and reading matter furnished, the Gold Leaf is la boring for the up-buildiiig of home and home interests, both in town and county. Say this to your neighbor and induce him to subscribe if he does not do so already. The Gold Leaf has seen a very hand some crayon picture, the work of Miss Lena Garden, daughter of Dr. D. B. Gar den, which it deems worthy of public men tion. It is the young lady's first effort in that line and shows artistic talent of a high order. Should Miss Lena diligently apply herself in this direction she has a successful future before her. If you are not already a subscriber to tins paper you are invited to become such. The weekly report of the tobacco market alone is worth the price of a year's sub scription to any tobacco farmer. Examine it closely advertisements and all and see if you don't think you ought to have the Gold Leaf. Three months 50 cents ; six months ?1.00 ; one year ?2.00 We have Just received a very pretty song called "There's no one like Mother to me," by Charles A. Davie. For a nice home song, in which lwjth the wordj and music are so very pr tty, it 13 hard to equal. It can be played on the piano or organ, and will be sent to any address for only 22 1 cent stamps. Address the publishers. J. C. Groene & Co., 30 and 42 Arcade, Cincin nati, O. Of course every live busines man in Hen derson no matter what line of trade he is in, will be represented in the. Gold Leaf's industrial issue. A thorough canvass of the town will be made, but in the mean time if we overlook you, mention the mat ter to us. We want to make a full exhiHh of the town's business, and this cannot be done without the co-operation of the busi ness men. Miss Lizzie Cheatham whose works of art (crayon drawings) the Gold Leaf has heretofore alluded to, has sent . three pictures to the State Fair. We are pleased to see that the young lady has manifested such interest in the matter of making an exhibit of her work, and whether they win a premium or not, they will make a most creditable showing and one of which the fair young artist may justly feel proud. A glance at the advertising columns of the Gold Leaf shows that the merchants of Henderson are discovering the benefits of judicious advertising. We are proud to acknowledge that our patronage this sea son is far in excess of former years. We feel grateful that it is so, and appreciate fully the high estimate that is placed on the paper. Its value as an advertising me is admitted by those competent to judge. We had a short but pleasant call from Mr Eugene G. Currin, a clever and good look ing young tobacco buyer now located at Durham, as he was passing through Mon day on his return from a visit to Oxford. Mr Currin formerly lived in Henderson and lias many friends hereabouts. His mission was to pay for a year's subscription to the Gold Leaf, and never was a transaction more mutually agreeable to all parties concerned. In the Supreme Court last week the fol lowing case3 from Vance county were ar gued : Eigenbrun vs. Smith : argued by Messrs Fuller, Snow and Smith and II. T. Wat kins for plaintiff and Mr. T. M. Pittman for defendant. Bowen vs. Fox ; argued by Messrs. II. T. Watkins and Fuller, Snow and E. C. Smith for plaintiff, and Messrs. Day & Zollicof fer for defendant. With the line of the new railroad located inside the corporate limits of the town and work commenced, and the erection of a new passenger and freight depot by the Rich mond & Danville company, as published last week, together with the building of the large tobacco storage warehouse, business assumes new life and Henderson step3 several strides in advance of her former self. Verily, the future of our town was never so bright and promising as now. One of the prettiest and most creditable pieces of work or the kind that we nave I seen was a clock, the set i ... , - which was niaile D' Rev. tting or frame of Alex Sprunt, on exhibition at Hight's jewelry store this week. It was made of walnut and ho ly wood, the colors blending nicely. The fret saw work shows great skill and pa tience, and stamps Mr. Sprunt an artist in that line. He has done much excellent work in the way of wall brackets, writing desks, hat racks aud book cases. Mr. W. A. Wilson who recently came here from Virginia and opened a school for boys and young men, having had a flattering offer made him to take a profes sorship in McCabe's school at Petersburg, accepted, and his place here has been taken by Mr. E. W. Bosworth, of Rock bridge county, Va. Mr. B. comes well recommended as a young gentleman- iu every way qualified to fill the position ac- ceptably to his patrons and creditably to himself, and the Gold Leaf bespeaks for him the hearty support and encouragement of our people. Corp.T Notes. The recnlar Fall term ; of Vance county Superior Court convened- Tuesday morning, Hon. Win. M. Shipp ; Judge presiding. After court was'organ ! ized, the Grand Jury being sworn in, Hi3 I Honor proceeded to deliver the usual charge to that body, setting forth their du ties in the premises and dwelling upon the ; law bearing upon the specific crimes end misdemeanors which they are required to ; pass upon. The charge v. as an able exposi tion of the law, and to those who know ; Judge Shipp's high ability as a sound jurist j it is not necessary to say his remarks were brief and to the point, while at the same time the whole ground was well covered. In fact. Judge Sh;pp impresses one favor j ably by the direct and business like man ner in which ne dispatches woik. vuick to grasp a point of law and as ready to ap ply it, there is no occasion for a waste of time and he admits of none. The Grand Jury who are finding many tiue bills are, C. Hunter, Foreman, Horace Bullock, Win. U. Falkner, F. M. Marrow, R. D. Best, Thos. Eaton, John D. Hight, Peter T. Evans, John Jenkins, Jr., Thos.

A special venire of one hundred men was summoned for this morning at 9 o'clock from which to draw a jury to try the Nor wood case. The docket this term is a small one, and while, it is a two weeks' term court will hardly last all next week. FOR SALE. A well established bakery and confec tionery business in the growing town of Henderson for sale low. The business is paying well now, and with the commence ment of work on the new railroad can be much enlarged. Present owner has other business which occupies all of his time. For further particulars, address at once, Lock Box 30, oct 13 2 o. Henderson, N. C. Tobacco Storage House. The Gold Leaf is prepared this week to announce another new enterprise for Henderson, and one which it thinks will set it a long way ahead in its prominence and importance as a tobacco market. It is a large storage warehouse with capacity for several thous and packages. Here tobacco can be stored instead of putting it into the hands of com mission men in other markets, and all a buyer has to do when he wants to make a purchase is to visit our market, look at samples and he has exactly what he wants. The advantage of having an establishment of this kind here is obvious. It will be conducted in the same manner as similar houses in Richmond and elsewhere, and we believe to better advantage to both sel ler and buyer. Rates of charges, for stor age, insurance, inspection, &c, will be cheaper, and the manufacturers will not be long in finding that it is to their interest to look to Henderson direct for their supplies. Another advantage a house of this kind will be to our market is that stock on hand may thus be concentrated, while at the same time our dealers will have the bene fit of the room in their prize factories that otherwise would be taken up by stock on hand held here by them. There are now 1,400 packages of tobacco in the hands of our buyers, but a manufacturer coming here to fill a large order would hardly know it, and if he did it would take him much longer to make his purchases than he has time to throw away perhaps. But with the storage warehouse it would be dif ferent. The building is to be 100x200 feet, so con structed as to readily admit of being en larged if uecessary. The plans arid speci fications have already been made and work is to be commenced at once. The enter prise is in the hands of gentlemen with abundant capital. Score one more for Henderson. E. Ashby Watkins has a first-class work man and is now ready to do all kinds of harness making and reparing.Satisf action guaranteed. oct 13 a. Personal.

She is destined in the near future to become a place of busi ness activity and prominence among her Sister towns. No reflecting mind at all conversant with her history can for a mo ment doubt her future growth and prosper ity. Look at her as the great competor in new and gigantic railroad enterprises now rapidly approaching completion. The Raleigh & Gaston railroad lias contributed and is contributing much to her growth and advancement, giving her an outlet for her products. The treasures of the East and South are poured into her lap through this channel. Nor is this all. Hie Rich mond & Danville railroad from Richmond via Keysville, Clarksvilleand Oxford will have its teriniuus here. The Durham road via Oxford will also make Hender son its terminus. The Raleigh & Gaston railroad will also construct a road from Henderson to Durham connecting with their old road here. The Richmond & Danville Company will also extend th ir road to Nashville or to some other point in the East. In fact the Richmond & Dan ville Company have already purchased a lot of land in Henderson. at a cost of 95,150 on which to build a fine depot for the re ception of freights and for .-other purposes. If reports be tine it will be a magid icent building worthy of Henderson and the company. With her mercantile anil banking facil ities increased, as they should be, and the agricultural products of a surrounding fer tile country concentrating in Hendersonj who will say her future will not be pros- Ejrous? Just think of the cotton that will e sold here, and the millions of pounds of the yellow leaf that will be sold in our warenonses inviting buyers with , capital. Think of the through freight trains a quar ter of a mile long rushing to and from Henderson exciting the envy and wonder of way station sleepers as they pass, and tell me if she has not a bright and prosper ous future, before her. Why should she pause in her rapid strides toward prosper ity and importance to notice unappreciative croakers around her? Let her go on adding house to house, enterprise- to enterprise until in her out spreading beauty and strength she shall occupy7 the position she should occupy. Henderson has too high a mission to perform in her', onward progress to stop to notice little envious minds that wouul slander and abuse her. Like the majestic eagle occupying a higher eleva tion in the sun-lit heaven's above she can afford to look down with indifference on nocturn; 1 hooters and croakers beneath.

Our usually serene and dignified contemporary 'the Charlotte Chronicle, appears to be getting desperate on account of the dust and. the lack of waterworks for its city In -a late issue we find the following paragraph. It says : The dust yesterday was most deplorable, outrageous damnable. It is condemned stock that will require much watering to immediately dispose of it. iind the sooner watered the better for our town council. So we have been singing'down this way, but the tables have turned now, and we are applying this same language to the mud. Some process by which a little water might be squeezed out of the late piles of dust that were every where shoe deep on the streets a few dajago, would he hailed with delighfjust now.

COOPER'S NEW MAMMOTH WAREHOUSE. Last Friday was a big day in the busi ness circles of Henderson. D. Y. Cooper, the oldest, most popular and successful warehouseman in the State, upon the com pletion of his most elegantly lighted and coniniious warehouse, desiring to give some token of gratitude for the past pat ronage of tobacco growers scattered over several States, and wishing to give addi tional stimulus for the growing of fine to bacco, announced that a number of valu able presents, wagons, harness, &c, would be given away to those having the finest to bacco on sale. The result was what might have been expected ; our streets were crowded with wagons, and the entire ware house floor, two hundred and twenty feet long by one hundred wide, was covered with good and fiue grades of the golden leaf. Think of it over thirteen hundred piles of fine tobacco on one warehouse floor, representing two States and seventeen counties undoubtedly, the largest and finest display of tobacco ever seen on one floor, and selling for prices without a par allel in the history of the tobacco trade. In one row there were twenty-one piles, aggregating 635 lbs., that brought 5678.30, or an average per hundred pounds of 5106.83. The lowest price in this row was 590.00 and the highest (of which there were several) 5150.00. The committee selected for the purpose, gave the first award to G. F. Evans, second to N. II. Fleming, third II. Ellington, fourth A. Fleming, and fifth to T. V. Avent. These awards were all made on different grades of tobacco from fancy white wrappers to cutters. This thirteen hundred and odd piles of tobacco was sold in the short time of four hours and a quarter, yet the house was so perfectly lighted, no piles were neglected and everybody went home pleased beyond their expectations, while the merchants sold more goods for the ready money than in many a day. It took thousands of dol lars to pay for this sale, but it is always on hand at this house, and as the sale pro gressed, each man was paid off as soon as his tobacco was sold. From out the vast crowd, the Gold Leap got many new sub scribers, to whom thi3 notice is unnecessary to fasten that sale upon their memory. Herr Andre's Alpine Choir and Tyrolese company gave our musical and theatre going people a rare treat at Burwell Hall on Saturday night. Though they came here the worst night in the week ; and a few nights after the deception and swindling of a company whose conduct made many of our 'people sore upon the subject of tneatres, yet there was a fair house in num ber, compossed of ministers, the other pro fessions and our best and most cultivated people. Never before in the history of Henderson has there been so good a per formance of that character here, or one th it gave so universal satisfaction. Com petent critics place Fraulein Dagmar Heckell's voice and rendition in the Louise Kellogg class whose full equal she is. Fraulein Major's contralto far excelled anything ever heard here, and the singing and instrumental performance of the entire company was above criticism. , We are in receipt of the annual address ef W. W. H. Thackston, M. D., D. D. S., President of the Southern Dental Associa tion, delivered before the association at Fortress Monroe on August 29tb, last. The Doctor is the oldest living graduate of dentistry iu the world, and ha long held a top place in his profession, but his repu tation as an orator has been reserved for his ripe old age, when in the address re ferred to, he not only showed himself fully acquainted with the science of his profes sion from the dawn oi civilization, but by 1 a happy application of ancient lore to the wants of the present, in language ornate and euphonious, he stamped himself as an orator of eloquence rarely surpassed. His address will be appreciated not only by Dentists, but by every lover of the beauti ful and grand. A burglar entered the store house of Mr. J. E. Burroughs at Dabney on Monday night. The entrance was effected by cut ting out the front glass. The young clerk, Mr. Lyman Barnes, wbo sleeps over the store, heard the noise and seizing his pis tol, came down alone, opened the door and entered without a light. Catching a glimpse of the thief making his escape throueh the open door, he fired on him and pursued him to the Oxford depot, firing as he ran. As yet it is not known wbo tne party was, but the presesce of two suspi cious characters there in tne evening wui doubtless lead to the arrest of the guilty nerson. A small amount of money and two pistols were the only articles missing. Passengers on the excursion train from Oxford this morning brought us the sad ti lings of the death of Mrs. Frank Royster of that place this morning at five o clock We are inst eoine to press and have not iar tii nav a deserved tribute to bcr - . memory. GEM CRYSTAL LEJfSES. Anticipating the old ago that comes to everybody who lives long enough, our friend Wilmot Wood has made us a pres ent of the best and most peculiar eye glasses we ever saw. Unlike other glasses that you read through at the usual distance, they have the advantage of magnifying at long distance. We put them on in the hall during the performance on Saturday night, and we want ho better opera glasses. They are far ahead of any spectacles we have ever seen, and we take pleasure in advis ing those whose eyes are failing to call on Mr. Wood before buying. He can fit any eye or nose. While there is not sufficient change in the tobacco market to alter quotations, and all grades of color or character are selling at paying prices, we notice that large thick mahogany wrappers, suitable for the West ern trade, are less sought for at quotations than the thinner and white grades. Those parties who make it a rule to hold over part of their crop till spring will run less risk of having to meet a decline by selling the balance of crop and, if any, hold the large common and medium mahogany wrappers. The rain of Tuesday has enabled a great many to order and strip, and we anticipate large sales the coming week. Some party, with felonious intent, re moved a glass from the front window of Barnes, Stainback & Co.'s store on Tuesday night. Messrs. Barnes and . Young were sleeping in the store, but were not aware that their glass had been removed till waked by Policeman Henderson and told of it. What was stolen is not known. Doubtless this glass mover is the same who operated at Dabney on the night before. Dark as Tuesday night was, the street lamps were not lighted In the Northern part of the town. We learn that the lamp lighter was sick. If so some one should take his place till he is well again. D. Y. Cooper went to Raleigh on Tues day night to attend a meeting of the Di rectors of the Durham & Northern rail road. They will go to work on it at once, and it's coming.

We are pleased to know that the old coal mine at Farmville, rear Egypt, is now being worked on a more extensive scale than at any time since the war. Not only that, but the coal now being mined is of a better quality than any. evor. before seen in Chatham. It wis the coal from this mine that was used at our State Expo sition, in 1884, as fuel for the engines that ran all the machinery there. This mine was worked quite extensive ly before the war, but since then very little work has been done there : re cently however, Mr. W. H. Segroves has employed a considerable force of miners and is getting out a first rate quality of bituminous coal in large quantities. Pittsboro Record. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. A.STALLINGS.
