WATKINS, aug 196 I. Henderson, N. C. "Cosfumos." The very laughable comedy "Confusion" will afford an abundance of amusement at BurweU Hall next Wednesday night. We have seen the play and can speak from knowledge.

It is full of laughable Situations throughout, and we are sure Uiose who enjoy a "little non-sence now and then" will find it the richest thing of the season. "Here a little, there a little." We save you something on the most trifling purchase. E. G. Davis.

A Valentine: TO THAD tt. UAXXXXO. You wlil find no comfort, nor fiad any rest, In this world of trouble and strife, Till a love-shaft pierces your bachelor breast, And you take a partner for life. A. Roscower.

Gcldsboro, N. C. i Mr. Davis was greatly surprised to liear singing as he entered his store the other morning. Investigation i proved that it came from the remnant of bis largo stock of winter overcoats.

Bending closely over the pile his ears were greeted by the first words of that popular song commencing "How can I leave I'll show you how, remarked Mr. D. as he grabbed the price tags and marked the prices down Just 33i per cent. Tlie overcoats are too much ttirred up now to' engage in vocal demonstrations, but Mr. Davis is continually humming I I see my ulsters go 'round the bend.

Good-bye my ulsters, good-bye, -They'ieall of 'em filled with satisfied men, Good-bye my. ulsters, good-bye. There may be a little fiction in this statement but the plain fact remains that E. G. Davis is closing out the remainder of his winter stock of overcoats awful cheap.

In Foreigx Laxds. From "far across the deep blue sea," we; have before us a copy of the Shrewsbury Chronicle, the leading agricultural paper of England, dated January 14th, in which we find printed the article of Mr. Richaid Marston, of Vance county, read before the Northern Settlers Convention in Raleigh last and published in the Gold Leaf soon afterward. The Chronicle heads the article "A Salopian on the South and ijs Opportunities and Advantages," and prefaces it with the.se remarks "The following paper setting forth the opportunities and advantages of the South, and the Inducements it holds out to the seeker after! good and cheap homes, was read before the Northern Settlers' Convention at Raleigh, Nortli Carolina, by Mr. Richard Marston, of Vance county, and formerly of This is uot tthe first tfme Mr.

Marston has spoken a good word for North Carolina and the South, and the Gold Xeaf thanks him and its esteemed English contemporary for the valuable service rendered in laying this article before the thousands of readers of the Chronicle throughout the agricultural sections of England. One of our most industrious and intelligent citizens, full of love for his adopted country and an desire to benefit his countrymen beyond the sea; Vance county has a strong champion and a valuable and wide awake exponent in the person of Mr. Marston.

Watkixs'. A Wife's Sacrifice. The Bethlehem Times saj-s of the Agnes Wallace Villa Dramatic Company and the play, "Love's Martyr, or A Wife's Sacrifice," which will be presented at Burwell Hall next Tuesday evening, Feb. 22nd: "A Wife's Sacrifice" is a strong drama. The character of the wronged wife was acted ic perfection by Agnes Villa, whose charms the audience at once.

She possesses a dramaiiO ability lir4 fully THE "OLD RELIABLE COOPER'S "WABE-I HOUSE STILL" Biggest Prices and Highest Averages V- for all Grades ol Tobacco. See the mighty hosts appearing; a perfect army of farmers; a regular caravan of white-topped wagons. In fils of twos, and fours, and dozens they; come. The glorious news has gone foarth; tobacco is "up and so are the farmers, both late and early. Nature has furnished propitious-seasons for stripping the weed, and Cooper is doing the balance forj the fanners.

All grades are bringing full prices at the Reliable," and sellers are happy. There has been a perfect rush to get to market this week and trying as it has been Dave Cooper has been equal to the emergency. No one ever jsaw him when he could not ac-com niodate all, look carefully alter each and evey pile of tobacco, make it bring its full value, and pay proper and becoming attention to every individual no matter how much tobacco in the warehouse or how busy the sale. And so it is. Notwithstanding the immense business of the past two weeks, and the enormous sales every day, ho one feels slighted, and when the account of sales are handed over to the farmers the wealth of smiles that play upon their countenance tell the tale of how well pleased; they; are.

In fait no one goes away from Cooper's warehouse dissatisfied if high! prices for their tobacco' is what they iare after. For the truth of this assertion look at the; following figures and say how it would have been with you, and if you do bot think these genttlemen went horiie with good news for their good wivesj and lots of good things for their good little children: i Frank Wortham, one of Vance county's successful bright growers, sold a few days ago one barn for $374. 78,1 an average of $54.33 for al1 grades. Stephen H. Satterwhite, another one! of our high grade tobacco sold one load for 439.8.

Who wouldn't be a farmer if all could get such prices for tobacco as that? Well, all we have to say is, grow it fine land then sell with Cooper. G. A. Rogers of Person county (a godd man and a good old county he comes from) sold and was paid in one day, last week $1,7 12.63 and it was only a small portion of bis crop at that not the whole plantation as one would be likely to suppose who does not know anything about how fine to ,2 ceo sells at Cooper ii: '(S.

Walking in a store the other night where several geutlemen were conversing, some one incidentally alluded to the Gold Leaf, when a visitor to our town who was not aware of the writer's association with the paper most disparagingly of It, saying this paper and the one published in his own towu were the two meanest in North Carolina; to this we could only reply the two papers In question were fortunate in not being estimated by his standard. Such talk a3 this, while in this particular Instance was doubtless spoken 1 lightly, without intending any harm, and without doing any, recalls the unappreciativeness and want of sympathy for tne difficulties and trials of the conscientious but; impecunious Editor. If there is to be a new enterprise, the town Editor is expected to write and publish for weeks beforehand, long and nattering notices of what a delightful and praiseworthy object it is; and when the affair is over, must devote a half column or more to a grand and glorious description, which to please, sometimes strains the conscience even of an Editor, i He must do this frequently at tbe costof space which should be devoted to advertising matter, he must pay the printer for setting it up, aud when he has done all he could, is loot even remunerated with thanks. He is expected to laud and push every enterprise that is started, public or private, and when it has reached success, largely through his work-when the feast is ready and the table Is set, he i3 expected to take a back seat in the synagogue, and eat of the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table. No Editor who Is treated In this way can have a good paper.

it takes money to run a newspaper without It all the brains in Christendom would produce but a sorry sheet, and It is not right or lionorable to criticise the paper while you withhold the support it deserves, and has a right to expect at your liands.

We are very much pained to see from a Prince Edward correspondence to the Richmond Whig there has been a most distressing tragedy In that county. Wat-kins Dupey, whose long line of ancestors have ever been the pride and loast of the county, iu a fit of Jealousy, in the presence of his five little boys, killed his wife by shooting her four times with a pistol, and then ended the tragedy by cutting his own throat. The family is largely known and connected throughout Virginia. The Rev. Mr.

Johnston formerly Presbyterian minister at this place is closely connected with the family, having married a Miss Dupey. We had the pleasure on yesterday of seeing on our.streets Capt. A. H. A.

Williams, of Oxford, president of the O. 11. railroad. We remember with pleasure having slept with the Captain on one occasion, at Rocky Mount, when he conferred upon us a distinction never before conferred upon a citizen of North (Carolina, and for which be has pur most sincere thanks. Brother Blount will doubtless remember the circumstance, We are sorry to be forced to the con-elusion that In a very short while the character of tobacco brought to this market will be inferior to what has been sold here the oast two weeks.

We gather our in formation from farmers scattered all over the territorr selling here, and with few exceptions they tell us they, have been holding back the inferior and selling the better grades till there is very little good or fine. left in their respective neighborhoods. We have heard rumors of some irregular ity in county affairs, and there has been a personal difficulty between two of our oCi-eiais, but the affair is now before the court, and being there, it is not our province to comment.

The boy Is now in Jail. Brick Pomeroy says there are bad men in the state prison, small men in office and mean men in church, but no one is so bad, small or mean as he who has not enough ambition and regard for the county and town he lives In, and whose business supports him, to take and pay for his local newspaper. For the information of a numerous con- i stituency we may as well state first as la that we will not succeed Daniel Manning as Secrtary of the Treasury.

It dose n't seem to be very healthy place, and the high personal regard we entertain for our own physical coiiditiou will 'not admit of our taking such great risks. Dr. J. II.

Oue of the most prominent thoroughfares outside of Main street, it Is the most shamefully neglected. Let the matter be attended to. The town has been full of tobacco for the past week all of our warehouse men are worked to their full ability, and all grades are bringing good prices.

There is no better tobacco market in the State than ours, and Just now it looks as though we are to attain prominence as a horse and mule market from the number In town for the past several days. Much interesting and important local matter is necessarily left out this week owing to lack of Although we adopted the use. of smaller type for our local page some time ago, still we find it difficult to accommodate our advertising patronage and" maintain our usual amount of reading matter. Our next improvement will be a larger paper. Mr.

L. G. Twisdale, one of Vance "county's excellent and successful farmers, and a valued reader of the Gold Leaf, sold at Cooper's warehouse last Monday one load of tobacco that averaged him $43.93 per hundred; and again yesterday another load at an average of 65 for all grades. It pays well to raise tobacco when it canle grown as fine as Mr. Twisdale makes it.

Of course any observing person can see it, but perhaps it may not be out of place to state that the Golp Leaf continues to grow in popular favor. Its subscription list is growing steadily larger, and its advertising patronage constantly increasing. In fact in continues to circulate like a rolling snow bail ou a damp day, gather-- Ing friends aud supporters as it goes.

Samuel Young whose African title is Bookrouckou, came' to America in 1879, in charge of the commander of the barque Morning Star, since which time he has been preparing himself for the work of the ministry, to return as a missionary to his people. This is the statement he made to us in our office j-esterday. Some excellent sales of tobacco have been made at Cooper's warehouse during the past few days: Averages ranging from $43 to 863 per hundred, for whole barns, all grades, have been of frequent occurrence.
