K smoking tobacco factory is one of the

to av nothing about it until the plans were

Tobacco has been coming in this year a

great deal more auunaauuy umn i -in
last season. The sales have been un
precedented for the past four or five
months. 'Ibis is accounted for in two ways,
the hi"h prices paid on this market and the
increased territory from which we have to
draw. Tobacco comes from a much greater
distance to Henderson now than it did a
few years ago.
Little George Iloscnbusch fell off of a
pair of "torn walkers" Tuesday and broke
his arm. The Cold Leaf bas been ex

Parents should prohibit their children
from playing with such dangerous things.
It is nothing to a boy's credit if he can
walk on stilts somi times five or six ieei
from the ground, while he runs a risk of
of breaking a limb or his neck.
The wind Tuesday night was the most
severe we have experienced since March
came in, and the rainfall was perhaps the
heaviest we have had for some time. The
thunder was terrific and the lightning
flashed vividly, reminding us that winter
is uow a thing of the past. The caprices of
the elements Tuesday night would indeed
have produced quite a storm at sea, hail we
not been, removed quite so far inland.

An agricultural authority says recent
tests appear to confirm the theory that
planting whole potatoes (Irish) is followed
by the largest crops. With most people it
is the custom to cut them, preservingone or
more "eyes" to each piece cut. This plan
makes the potatoes go futher in planting.
but whether it is economy in the long run
or not, the Gold Leaf is not prepared to
say. Suppose some of our readers try the
experiment this year and test the thing for
themselves.

Keep an Accoitnt. As the Pittsboro
Home says, every man ought to keep an
accural account of his business transac
tions. And this applies to the farmer as
well as any one else. In fact, he more
than others, perhaps, should know what
any particular crop, costs him to cultivate
it and what it is worth after it is gath
ered. This is the only way to determine
the amount of profit it is to him. Yes, let
the farmer as well as the merchant and
banker keep a strict account f everything.
He is thus enabled to know wh it he is do
ing and how he stands with the world.
Guess work won't do to denend on. These
accounts have saved many a man from
bankruptcy and financial ruin.

Death op an Aged Lady in the Coun
ty. On Wednesday, March 7th, 1888, at
the home of Mr. Thos WT. Hicks, near Wil
liainsboro, Miss Jane Kicks died in the
100th year of her age. Deceased was born
in Granville county on the 4th of July,
1783. Making her at the time of her death
t'J years, 8 months and 3 days old. She was
a consistent Christian, belonging to the
O'Kellyite denomination, having been a
member of the Midway church which has
long since gone to ruin. She had been total
ly blind for more than fifteen years before
her death, laer memory was remarkably
good so far as remembering events that oc
curred more than threescore years ago, but
could scarcely remember anything of more
cent occurrence, uor health was very
good up to a short time before her death.
Hardware Store to be Opened. Ths
Gold Leaf is pleased to learn that Mr.
Charles C. Ferrall, of Raleigh, will come
to Henderson and open a hardware store
about the 15th of April. Charlie Ferrall
has many friends in Henderson who will
be glad to know that he will return and
make his home amongst us again. It will
be remembered that he was assistant rail
road agent at this place a few years ago,
since which time he has been connected
with the large and well known hardware
concern of Julius Lewis & Co., Raleigh.
He is a young man of fine business quali
ties and the Gold Leaf predicts that he
will meet with success in his new under
taking. Mr. Ferrall will have associated
with him in the business a brother of his
They will occupy Missillicr's old stand, in
the Cooper building.
What Are They Doing? What is the
Chamber of Commerce doing with itself?
The Gold Leaf has heard nothing of it
since it organized. Was the severe cold
weather that came on about that time to
much for it? If so, it is to he hoped that
with the coming of Spring it will come out
of its hole and exert itself for the public
good. Wc need such an organization in
Henderson, and now that a step has been
taken to the extent of forming an associa
tion of the kind and electing officers, it
should be kept going exerting an influence
for good in our midst as it i calculated to
do. Interest should not te auowea 10
drop back into the channels of indifference
and in action or to lose itself in the slough
of despond, so to speak. The Chamber
of Commerce if carried out on the plans
suggested would be worth much in fur
thering the growth and prosperity of the
town and community, and the Gold Leaf
desires to see the most made of its oppor
tunities. Gentlemen, keep up your or
ganization and bestir yourselves.
p. S. Since the above was put in type
the Gold Leaf is pleased to learn that the
Chamber of Commerce is by no means a
thing without life and being. A meeting
was held a few evenings ago. and another
was called for yesterday, and the member
ship is rapidly growing. Every professional
and business man in town ought to join.
If you receive or ship freight, own real
estate, or are in way interested in the
growth and prosperity of Henderson, you
should kecome a member of the cnamuer
of Commerce. In unity is strength. One
hundred men representing the various
branches of business and professions of the
town can accomplish more than 0110 dozen.
This is to certify that Mr E. E. Hight,
formerly of Wake Forest. N. C. bat now
of Henderson, N. C, lived here several

Good Advice to the Tobacco Planters.
Admonishing the tobaccs planters of
Virginia and North Carolina not to make
the fatal mistake of putting in too large a
crop this year, The Southern. Tobacco Jour
nal says this :
You may write this down as a settled
fact, tint there will be an overwhelming
crop tif tobacco grown in the West thi
year and very likely in Virginia and North
Carolina also. In this event the price on
all common grades must le low much
lower than the real cost of production and
hence to grow such grades w ill not pay you
nor anybody else. Why. the people in "the
West are renting Burley lands and paving
as nign as m per acre, juocsn t that look
like an over crop? It certainly does and
such we are sure to have.
Now be wise. Act independently for
once, riant a iuu crop 01 all home sup
: plies, and make all the bread stuff you
can. Select a few acres of your choicest
land that will grow bright tobacco and put
that in the bet order. It won t pay to
plant anv other kind of tobacco this var

coin, ore, pui on your tobacco and try to
place in each package of their goods, has
something to do with the large and grow

full supply of home supplies bread and
snoes ana ciotnes ror your family and no
big fertilizer bill to met-t. What you re
alize from your tobacco will be cb-ar mony
which can be used for home expenses and
: for helping you make the next crop. This
is the semdble course to follow. Don't be
allured by high prices at present but go to
work in dead earnest, follow common sense
1 directioas aud you will profit by so doing.
Church Work. Rev. Alex. Sprunt, the
pastor of the Presbyterian church, has
completed the third year of his ministerial
labors in Henderson, and took occasion
last Sunday morning to speak upon the
subject, and as is customary to lay before
his congregation a report of bis work dur
ing that time. He has preached 417 ser
mons in the three years, (156 Sabbaths)
and delivered 85 prayer meeting lectures.
57 persons have been admitted to mem
bership in the church, 31 upon examina
tion of faith and 20 upon certificate of dis
mission. He has married 9 couples, and
officiated at 14 funerals ; baptized 38 pei
sons, 31 infants and 7 adults, and made
1,900 visits. The following contributions
have been made : For Home Missions,
SJ280.00 ; Evangelistic Fund, ?62.00 ; Invalid

None of these contributions were raised
either in whole or in part by church fairs,

church contributions exc -pt some special
contributions to Home Missions.
