BASED ON MERIT. Euvita, the New Fountain Drink, Meets With Phenomenel Success. The Gold Leaf is alwaj-s gratified at the success of any local or North Carolina enterprise of merit. And in rioting the instance below mentioned it has peculiar pleasure from the fact that some of the gentlemen interest ed are its personal friends and the article named is advertised in its col umns. We have reference to the new soda fountain drink, Euvita, manu factured in Greenville, N. C, the suc cess of which King's Weekly, of that place, says: ' The Euvita Company are more than gratified with their sales so far. Up to date they have sold nearly 2,000 gallons and the season has scarcely opened. It was several years before Coca-Cola sales reached that amount. There have been 150 gallons of Euvita drunk in Green ville. Coca-Cola's first year was only 25 gallons all told. "Euvita is the best and most popular drink on the market and some expect this season's sales to reach 50,000 gal lons. Its manufacture was only begun seven weeks ago." Euvita is the discovery of a well known physician of Greenville and was first prescribed as a medicine for the relief of headache, indigestion, disordered stomach and kind reel complaints. Its effect was altogether satisfactory, in some cases magical, and the demand increased with the knowledge of such a preparation. It was pleasant in taste and beneficial in effect, an aid to digestion and a correction of the unhappy conditions which frequently come from overin dulgence in eating or drinking. So popular did this then unnamed prescription become locally and so enthusiastic the endorsements in its behalf that the discoverer conceived the idea of enlarging its sphere of usefulness by increasing the demand for it. He would do this by putting it into the form of a delightful soda fountain drink. A series of experi ments were made until the correct flavor was found. A name was then given to it and instantaneously Eu vita, winch means good health new life to those who drink it sprung into favor and popularity. A com pany was organized to manufacture it on a large scale and its success has been pheiiotrmtal from the beginning. Euvita promises to leeome one of the most popular fountain drinksex tant. It is delicious, refreshing, in vigorating, beneficial, and whoever drinks it likes it. It does not contain any alcohol or opiate of any kind and does not stimulate or create an v confirmed habit. Cures headache, in- uigestion, heartburn, dizziness, sour stomach. Quenches the thirst, satis fies the findings, relieves languor. oraces the nerves, refreshes themind, grateful to the whole system. Ask for Euvita at the soda foun tains and try it for yourself. -.-. Genuine Panama Hats onlv $0.50. imi tation $2.00, $2.50, $:$.()0. Dig line, all new shapes. Straw hats $1.00. $1.50 and $2.0O.

THE NATIONAL, 334 Dearborn, St., Chicago. . . . Clean Up and Beautify. Despite theexcessive rains and con tinued cool weather, Springtime has asserted itself and the beauties of vegetation, flowers and fruits are at tracting attention on all sides. To vie with Nature's beautifying work, it becomes the duty of man to make due provision towards renovating and making more attractive the things about him which are subject to his control. To this end let us attend diligently and promptly to the care and improvement of our homes and surroundings; clean up and burn the trash and rubbish, (ac cumulations of the winter months) repair the waste and broken places, apply whitewash and paint, so that both' the eye may be pleased and health preserved. . . Too Great a Bisk. In almost every neigh horhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera mor bus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should lie kept at hand. The risk is too great for nuyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoiea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suf fering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon.

Watkins Hardware Co BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTION, The Reception Given in Moncrof Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Coc e of the flost Elegant and Enjoyable Events in Henderson Social Circles. Brief reference was made last week to the reception gien Wednesday night by Mr. and Mrs. I). Y. Coojwr iu honor of Mr. Alexander Cooper and his charming bride, formerly Mrs. Ellen Faucett Lassiter. This was one of the most brilliant and en joyable social functions in the his tory of Henderson. Upward of five hundred invitations had been issued and in response thereto the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs.D. Y. Cooper, the seat of cordial hospitality and refined entertainment, was thronged with a happy and brilliant company dur ing the hours of receiving. The color scheme in the South parlor and din ing room was white and green, and the ice cream and coffee rooms crim son and pink. The floral decorations were palms, smilax and superb white, pink and crimson roses and pink and crimson carnations. The Henderson orchestra furnished music in an upper room. " There were fifty in the receiving party. The house, spacious and ad mirably adapted to occasions of this kind, was brilliantly illuminated and beautifully decorated throughout. Upon arrival the guests were ushered into the library- where they were re ceived by Misses Rebecca Butler and Elizabeth Pitt man, Mr. John D. Cooper and Ur. John Hill Tucker. Having been directed up stairs where hats and wraps were removed they were then conducted into the front parlor. Here those receiving were Miss Stella Perry, Mr. A. CZol licoffer, Mrs. J. D. Cooper,ol. Henry Perry, Mr.Robert Lassiter, Mr. Henry Macy and Master Allison Cooper. Thence the way was led into the back or main parlor where a warm welcome was received from the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. I). Y. Cooper, and congratulations and good wishes were extended to Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cooper. The other members of the receiving party were Major and Mrs. S. V. Telfair, of Raleigh, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Cooper, Mrs. J.T. (iooch. Weldon, Mrs. How ell Cobb Jackson, Atlanta, Ga., Mr. U. i. cooper, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Miller. Next the guests were ushered into the dining room. Here Mrs. Henry Perry, Mrs. T. II. Chavasse, Misses Amy Butler, Ethel Dorsey, Alice Cheek and Messrs. James Brodie, Thomas Horner and Harry Bunn re ceived them and did the honors. The table was beautiful with the whole center a perfect flower bed of magnificent white roses vines of smilax and green satin ribbon ex tending from the chandeliers to the four corners fastened in elegant bows. The covers were of lace, and cut glass and silversparkled among the decora tions. Light punch was served in the room adjoining Misses Genevieve Cooper, Mary Perry and Macy Chavasse pre siding at the fountain from whieh was dispensed this beverage, so grateful after one had partaken of the delightful menu provided in the dining room. In the next room adjoining ice cream and cake were served. The decorations here, as elsewhere, were lovely and the cream formed into various shapes was delicious. Mrs. A. C. Zollicoffer, Misses Sarah Bur well, Leila Shannon, Julia Tucker and Olivia Lamb, Messrs. Samuel Watkins, Jr., George Gilliam, Ed. Taylor and Phil H.Thomas, were the receiving party here. The coffee room was presided over by Misses Leah Perry and Willie Parker, Messrs. J. A. Moore and Wil son Morris.

As giving some idea of the value placed upon Vance county real estate the Golo Leaf cites the following instance. In a special proceedingfor the sale of land for partition, Mr. T. T. Hicks, commissioner, sold a tract by public auction on Monday, April Gth. The land is situate one mile South of Dabney and contains 129 acres. Sale was for cash and $1,70." was the price bid. The land was rented for this year and the pur chaser does not get the rent. J, Ed Ellington, a good citizen and thrifty farmer, was the bidder. There was talk at the time of a ten per cent, bid being put on it. This has been done and as will be seen by reference to advertisement in this paper a re sale will be held on Monday, May 18, 190.1. The bidding, therefore, will begin at l,S7r.")0." This land was sold in 1881, when bright tobacco was at high water mark for 1,300. Mr. Hicks good naturedly says this shows what advertising in the Gold Leaf will do, but the Gold Leaf does not take the credit to itself. Rather it shows the value placed upon real estate iu Vance county. Our people have faith in Vance county and they are ready to show it when money talks. FOR. SALE. One pair of good work mules.

In an editorial last week from the New Bern Journal under the heading: of "Wanted a Municipal Account ing," we said the sentiments therein expressed were so timely that we adopted them as applicable to local conditions. With reference to a change of administration our con temporary said it was due not mere ly to the outgoing officials and those succeeding them but it was due the taxpayers and citizens that an ac counting be made of the city's affairs. Alter reading the article Mr. . . Rowland, treasurer of the town, said we were wrong in part at least in saying the remarks of the Journal were applicable to local conditions. They may have been well timed as far as New Bern is concerned but not to Henderson, at least since he has been treasurer of the town for the last year. Exhibits are required t o be made semi-annually, January 1st and July 1st. Such exhibit was made by him in January and posted on the door at the Mayor's ofh'ce. There is no law requiring anything else or he would have done it. Tins exhibit shows the town's financial condition in detail the taxes collected and what the money was spent for; the municipal assets and liabilities; the different funds and accounts kept, etc. That there has been laxity in the administration of the town's affairs (not as a whole, to be sure) and the people kept too much in ignorance of what they had a right to be informed about cannot bo denied. Nor do we lay this criticism upon the present administration alone. It was with a knowledge of these things and with no thought of being unfair to Treas urer Rowland or unkind to the other gentlemen of the Board that we wrote. Mr. Rowland has made a good treasurer and performed his duties honestly and faithfully and it gives us pleasure to say this much. GREATLY ALARMED By a Persistent Cough, but Per manently Cured by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. Mr. H. P. Burbajro, a student at law iu Greenville, S. C, had been troubled for four or five years with a continuous eolith which he says "gTeatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was in the first stiiffes of consump tion." Mr. Burba'e, having hccii Chamber lain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. Now read what he says of It: "l soon felta remarkable changeaiid after using two bottles of the twenty-five cent size, was permanently cured." Sold at Parker's Two Drug Stores. - . .
