TOWN AND COUNTRY. LOCAL LACONICS PICKED UP HERE AND THEREBY OUR EAGLE-EYED REPORTERS. -:o:- Let us have a long pull, a steady pull and a pull all together this year for the upbuilding of our town and section. Again we say if the business men of Hen derson will exert themselves, they can do wonders toward building up the city this year. Be up and doing. Marriage would be more frequently a success if fewer men and women were not failures. Saturday Globe. Tin same Mea could be applied to any branch of industry with equally as good ef fect.

To get trade, a town must work for it There is too much competition for trade to go where it is not sought and worked for with energy. Trade builds up a town ai.d our business men should work for it. Ad vertise for it. Rocky Mount Phoenix. New enterprises are now in order in Hen derson. They will bring capital that will make the city grow and prosper even more than ever. Let us secure every manufact uring enterprise that we possibly can. This is a good field for many Kuch. The farmer should remember that it is unwise to plant more land than he can prepare and cultivate well. One acre well prepared and well cultivated will produce more than two acres only given the same amount of attentiop.. Prosperity, business and success, stand ready to enter the gates of our city. Don't put off for another day what should, and can be done now. Let people know all about us ar.d When away from home always put lu a good word for Henderson. There is no better time for advertising than when times are dull. "Money he Rets money," and business makes business. When a man keeps "hollerin" people are bound to take notice and go and see what's the matter with liim. Do you see? ! The regular production of meat and bread on the farm, is the best safeguard! against theeverities of the mortgage sys- j tern, ljet the farmers raise their own pro visions and they will not have to pay a double price for what they buy. Next to the devil, a mortgage isthenio-.t damnable thing ttiat ever cursed the world. Mount Olice Tcltgram. If a man wants to buy property in Hen derson, be he a resident or prospective cit izen, don't ask him three or four times what it is worth, and don't discourage him. Help each other aleng, buy all 3011 can at home ; let no opportunity pass for the j betterment of the town. j Mr. T. T. Hicks, attorney, advertises a very desirable piece of town property for sal. It is the Wyche place in the rear of the court house, and a better investment in Henderson dirt could not be made, either for purposes of speculation or use. Call on Mr. Hicks for particulars. The sale of town lots by S. II. Chavasse advertised to take place last Monday, was postponed on account of the weather. The sale will take place next Monday week, March llth, as announced elsewhere. This is desirable property and the sale should attract a large attendance of buyers. Every property owner, every business man, every citizen, has a common interest In the welfare and prosperity of the town. A common tie of mutual endeavor should bind them together. Let harmony and concert of action be the motto of all of our 1 people if steady and rapid improvement I is desired. ( What is better than buckwheat cakes j and maple syrup? Well, if you want to trv it go to J. R. Estes & Co.'s and get. some of that excellent maple svrup of theirs. You need not get the buckwheat if you don't want it for the syrup goes just as well with anything else. We know for we've tried it. There is more sound logic in the follow ing brief saying of a savage than we have heard in some temperance lectures two hours in length. An exchange says : The chief of an Australian tribe deliv ered the following temperance lecture in oue line : "One drink is too much ; two aie not enough." It seems more than probable that the year 18S9 will bo a prosperous one in and for Henderson, and with the present prom ising indications there is no good reason why the town should twt have a healthy boom. Let every one interested take it upon himself to assist in accomplishing that desirable end. The Gold Leaf has said it before and we repeat, the merchants of Henderson can sell goods as cheap as they can be sold anywhere. Here, too, is a good market for oountry produce. Cheap goods, a home market and convenience are matters for the consideration of country people, which they cannot afford to pass idly by. Says the Chenoa, Illinois, Gatette : Don't run down a projected enterprise on account of prejudice ; speak well of it ; don't damn it with faint praise. When some stranger talks of locating in your town don't put on a faraway look, and talk doubtiugly, but go right at him and show him the many advantages it has, everything you know in its favor, and help hira m his new enterprise whatever it may be. There is nothing more disappointing to the generous man than the way in which his absolute frankness is met by the man of the world, always looking out for mo tives, and imagining them where he does not find them. Donald Grant. If you have any doubts about this, start out on a canvassing tour among those around you in behalf of some worthy ob ject for the public good, and see for your self. Insure your life, Insure your property With J. R Yocko, Agent. Sunday was the coldest day we have had this winter. Many persons declare it was the coldest day they ever experienced in this climate. - V , i One of the most popular brands of smo king tobacco put up by the Henderson Tobacco Company is the "Gold Leaf.", It is a superior article and has an extensive sale. IU popularity is easily accounted for. . Henderson Tobacco Company are ship ping immense quantities of their excellent brands of smoking tobacco,' and notwith standing they are running day and night with a large force of operatives, are away behind orders. A. J. Dinkins, the arlistic Job printer, has Just received a new 30-inch blade Peer less paper cutter, together with a lot of other material for his office. He is turning out some excellent work in the way of to bacco labels, letter heads, etc. What some of our North Carolina towns need are missionaries to convert the citi zens f rom their lethargy into activity and life. We want more men of energy, ca pacity, public spirit and means to electrify and rejuvenate the slow going, apathetic inhabitants. The immigration fever ha3 broken out among the colored people in this section. Numbers of them are arranging to go to Arkansas and Mississippi to live iu luxury and ease as they think. Promises of plenty work at big wages look very enticing from a long distance. Read the advertisement of B. I. Powell in this paper. He wants agsnts to sell key tags and stencil plates. From 2.00 to 55.00 a day can be easily made by active agents. Boys 12 or 13 years old can handle the business and earn good money at it. Here is a chance for those seeking light and profitable empleyment. Crockett & Ellington have moved their stock of goods to the store room on Mont gomery street formerly occupied by J. H. Lassiter St Son as their grocery department. It has been newly fitted up with shelves and counters, nicely painted and is quite a neat and attractive store.

C, Gold Leaf is about to publish 10,000 copies of au eight page edition with a full write-up of that city. Send us one, Brother Manning. Chenoa (Illinois) Gazette. All right, Brother Hege, so good a friend of the Gold Leaf's and of the South, cer tainly shall not be forgot when we get ready to send out such information about our town and county as we aim to lay be fore the public. The publisher Is hard at work on the forthcoming illustrated industrial issue of the Gold Leaf. Already we have re ceived several applications by mail for copies of the paper from persons at a dis tance who are desirous of knowing more about this section. We call upon our friends to help us make this undertaking a grand success. You can help by your en couragement, your assistance and your patronage. While "dress does not make the man," it is never the less true that the style and quality of clothing he wears has much to do with the estimate placed upon him. Ele gance always combines easa with perfec tion of outline, and nowhere can this ele gance be obtained to greater satisfaction than at Barnes, Stainlack& Co's Clothing Emporium. They are offering great bar gains now to make room for new spring stock. Messrs. Meador and Knight, two enter prising and clever business men of Farm ville, Va., will come to Henderson and en gage in business soon. They will occury the store room lately used as J. M. Young &Co's drug store and propose to carry a nice line of ladies dress goods, trimmings, notions, fancy goods, &c. They come high ly recommended as gentlemen of integrity and good business capacity. The Gold Leaf will extend to them and their fami lies a cordial welcome to Henderson. We quote an exchange : Blessed is the man who sitteth not in the seat of the kick er nor mingles himself in the congrega tion of the mossback ; but his delight is in new railroads and brick blocks, and in schemes to build up himself and his own town. And he shall be like an evergreen tree planted by the river of waters ; his leaf shall not wither in the early fall like the Cottonwood, for the Eli of the boomer shall get there, but the kicker shall be left to hold the bag Mr. George M. Manning, of the compos ing rooms of the Wilmington Messenger, spent a few days with friends and relatives in Henderson last week. He came to stay longer but becoming home sick to see his best particular frieud, he returned in time to be home" Sunday night. He rep resented the Messenger as doing well, and certaiuly it deserversuccess, for it is one of the most wide-awake, and progressive pa pers in the South, ever alive to the best in terests of Wilmington and North Carolina. Your business is such that advertising will do you uo good , you say. Well, is that any reason why you should not contribute toward the success of an enterprise that will benefit the town and commuuity at large? Do you not do business here? Is Henderson not your home ? and do yon not get your living out of the business of the town ? Then why are you not interest, ed in the growth and prosperity of the place in common with your neighbor ? You are, but selfishness will not permit you to look at it in this light. We observe that the bill to incorporate the Southern Exposition Society (with Messrs. P. M. Wilson, and W. U. S. Bur gwyn and others as corporators) has passed its third reading in the House. It is its purpose to allow the holding of a perma nent Southern Exposition in one of the Northern cities, probably New York. Col. Burgwyn has worked iudefatigably ia be half of this object as he does in behalf of every cause calculated to promote the in terest and welfare of North Carolina and the Southern States. We had the pleasure of a call from our clever young friend John W. Harrison, the popular and successful druggist at Macon, Tuesday afternoon. He came in to pay his respects to the Gold Leaf in a double sense, and spoke very compliment ary of the paper. He is one of the Gold Leaf's old stand-bys, having been one of its first subscribers as he is one of its most admiring readers and prompt paying ones. Mr. Harrison says the only trouble is some of his neighbors like the paper about as well as he does but not enough to have one of their own. 200 bushels of prime seed oats Just re ceived at H .

We pub lish the artiele in another column of this paper. There was a fall of about four inches of snow Thursday night. Again Friday more fell and altogether it wa3 six inches deep on a level. Saturday was cold and dis- ' agreeable and the thermometer began to fall rapidly toward night. .Sunday was the coldest day we have had this winter the mercury registering 10 above zero. Not having experience! anything like such se vere weather so far made it more sensibly felt and we have heard many people ex press themselves as almost suffering even in doors with a good fire. This being true of them, what must have been the bitter ex- perience of those poor creatures not so for tunate as to be as well provided for? For Sale.

Tho Gold Leaf has tried to serve its town and section how well oth ers must say.

Their Business Booming. It is with genuine pleasure that the Gold Leaf notes the growing success of the Hender son Tobacco Company (Messrs. R. L. Daingerfield and H. T. Jenkins, proprie tors.) While their popular brands of smoking tobacco are having an extensive sale throughout the Southland South-west, the proprietors are perfecting plans to in troduce them more fully in the North and North-west. Their leading brands are "Clear the Track," "Gold Lear," "Golden Hub," &c, aud they also put up several special brands for custom trade. They manufacture the cheapest goods on the market for the money. The high quality is attested by the large sales they are meet ing with. Continued success to the Hen derson Tobacco Company.

Adcock and Jennie Adcock charged witli poisening Eliza Ad cock, (wife of Henry) in Granville county about a year ago, came up for a bearing at this term. This case was moved from Granville.f eeling against the accused being so great that the plea of a fair trial not being obtained was set up. In the mean time both parties were taken from tlie Ox ford jail and carried to Raleigh for safe keeping, fears of lynching being entertain ed' Henry Adcock having becoming ap parently insane a jury was empaneled to pass upon his sanity. After subjecting him to a careful examination, medical experts being called to assist iu the case, the jury brought in a verdict that the prisoner was insane. He has been in this candition it ;s said since about the middle of November. At this juncture of the proceedings the Solicitor entered a nol pros with leave, aud in addition to statement which was filed with the papers in the case, Col. Worth- ington addressed the Court at some length explaining the position in which the State found itself , &c. Regarding the case against the woman, Solicitor Worthington stated that he had with a great deal of care exam ined the case against the female prisoner and that since the male prisoner had been adjudged insane, he felt compelled to ask that a nol pros with leave be entered against her. He said that he was well aware that there was much feeling against her and a clamor for her conviction, but that feeling a full sense of his responsibil ity as a man and as .1 sworn officer he was compelled to say to the court that he was unwilling upon such evidence as he could get and as was admissable, to imperil a human lire, lhe principal evidence was of a woman whom he was informed was beyond the jurisdiction of the State and if here was of bad character. He asked that a nol pros with leave be entered and then if he could get such evidence as would war rant it, he would have her taken up and tried at any time hereafter. Judge Arm- field in reply stated that the Court had at the request of the Solicitor examined the evidence and agreed with him in his course and thought it commendable in him as a man and an officer : And that the Court was free to say that if a Jury were to find the female prisoner guilty on that ev idence, that he would not hesitate to set aside the verdict. A human life should not be taken upon such f ragunientary and circumstantial evidence. .-, NOTICE I Sale of Valuable Town Lots Near Henderson Female College, Monday, March 11, At 3 o'clock promptly.

No matter how bright a thing may be, they are sure to find a gloomy view of it. You may paint your hope in most radiant colors, but they will blotch it all with black when they come to look at it. They are always seeing difficulties in the path, lions in the way. They do noth ing but prophesy evil and find out and fore tell difficulties and obstacles in the way of others." This is only too true. There are always doubters and fault finders to be met with no matter what one undertakes or does, au ao not see ante, wuat pleases one may offend another; that which assures the admiration and en couragement of one person may call forth censure and opposition from another.

The performance of-Harry Lindley and his company at Burwell Hall last evening exceeded our expectations, both as to the merits of the play and the manner in which it was rendered. Harry Lindley as George Washington Waj-back, graduate of the Lime Kiln Club, kept the audience in a constant roar of laughter, and divided the honors with the hero of the play, if indeed he did not overshadow him. Mr. Josh Chapman is a good actor and played his part as Frank Ames, the, accused horse thief and fugitive from home and the law, in a strong and realistic manner, while Mr. R. Marsden, as James Mason, the pretend ed friend but who in reality was the thief himself, who cast the imputation upoi. Ames and put the detectives after him, es sayed the role of the villain well. His acting throughout was strong and effect ive, showing him to be an artist of no mean ability. Miss Clara Mather, as Mrs. Ames, the widow, Miss Stanley, as Carrie Wilson, the child's friend, (and the sweet heart of Frank Ames who believed in his innocense and remained true to him during the three years of his absence), played their respective parts well, and Miss Wilson and - Miss Archer sustained their roles in becoming manner, while La Petite Marie caught the audience with her topical songs. Altogether it was a very enjoyable per formance, free from anything objectiona ble in word or act, and was deserving of a much better house. We have seldom seen a better pleased audience, judging from the frequent applause and continuous laugh ter. And this is what makes up the suc cessful bill of fare in the amusement line ; you are both entertained and amused ; given something to think about and made to laugh and forget dull care.

The Entertainment Last Thursday Night. The entertainment at Burwell Hall last Thursday eveninggiven by a mini ber of the young ladies aud gentlemen of the towu was a very successful and pleasant event in every way. The parts were clever ly acted and the costumes taitely and ap propriate. Indeed this feature perhaps sur passed anything of tho kind amateurs have yet exeibited on our stage. Where there were so many performers we can not par ticularize, but it is enough to say that the young ladies-and gentlemen and the sweet little Misses who took part in it all did ad mirably well. They played to a good sized audience and many iiigu praises were spoken in behalf of the players. A Fine Artist. As will be sean by ad vettisement in this paper, Mesrs.

A Word of Advice to Farmers. The Washington Progress volunters some good advice to farmers ou the subject of economy. It says : There is one lesson the farmers must learn and that is to economise. The farm er goes to a merchant, gives him a mort gage for supplies to enable him to culti vate a crop, and whether he actually neds tne whole amount or not ne never stops until the last dollar is traded out. But he should adhere to economy equally as strict as if he was paying tne casn oown lor tne goods, and it there remains a paiano-i flue him it will be placed to his credit and when settling day comes it will be taken from the amount of the debt, and he will have saved that amount.
