Subscription : 10 cents a week. Furnish
ed to city subscribers by carriers, who will
make weekly collections. 40 cents per
month if paid in advance.
Our ad vertisin rates are very low for
one week, or six insertions, about the same
as charged by weekly newspapers for one
time. Having a thorough city circulation,
and reaching daily a number or post-offices
in this ana surrounding counties, it is a
splendid advertising medium.
Legal advertisements, such as adminis
trator's and executors notices, commis
sioners' and trustees' sales, summons to
non-residents, etc., v ill be charged for at
legal rates, except when '.hey exceed a cer
tain limit of space, in which case we re
serve the right fix our own price. All such
business must be PAID FOR IN AD
VANCE. The charge is very small and we
cannot afford to take v risks or wait the
pleasure of persons to pav.

The Henderson Gold Leaf cele
brates its ninth birthday this week. It
is one of the best newspapers in North
Carolina, and we are pleased to learn
that it is prospering. It has done
good work for Henderson; helped the
growth of the town and kept pace
with that growth. We congratulate
Brother Thad Manning, and wish him
rainy happy returns of the day.

The shortage in the accounts of C.

topic of conversation here. -The guar

and shows a deficit of about 1 6,00c.
It was thought yesterday that; the
statute did not provide for a. criminal
prosecution but prominent lawyers
now say that it does. The personal
property of Upchurch has been adver
tised for sale by the attorney for Col.

will be entered at once on the official
bond. It is not thought that Up
church will voluntarily return here.

,An important action, taken during
the closing moments of the late con
vention, was the adoption of a resolu
tion with reference to the support of
all Alliances. The policy of .the Alii
ance will be to withhold all support
from newspapers which do notconduc
ai Alli ince department or at least pub
lish Alliance news regularly. This ar
rangement does not ompel the 'sup
port of Alliance measures or an alvc
cacy of Alliance demands on the part
of these newspapers in their editorial
columns, but does compel a certain
decree of friendliness on their part
and amounts to an absolute boycott of
all newspapers which do not come up
to the terms of the resolution. i
