Fewer acres and better cultivation and care. Let this be the motto of our fanners this year.

The heavy hand of affliction has again been laid upon Mr. add Mrs.

A. M. Jordan, in the death of their infant child. But a short while ago they vere called upon to mourn the loss of an jdolized child and now another is taken.l In their distress they have our deep sympathy. An agricultural authority says the manure heap is the most important of all.

A good farmer Is known by the amount he makes on the farm and the manner In which he keeps the same. The manure pile is the main stay of the farm, and he is indeed a poor farmer who does not so regard it. We deeply sympathize with Rev. and Mrs. J.

M. Rhodes in the affliction that has ome upon them in the death of their very bright aud sweet little child, Louise, aged about two and half years. In their great sorrow Mr. and Mrs." Rhodes have the profound sympathy of the people of Henderson, among whom they have made their home but so recently. This from the Sural.

Ford was away nearly a month. I Read Cooper Mitchell's newl adver tiscment. This enterprising young firm is pushing right to the front. Composed, of popular and progressive young men, expe- rienced in the business, and possessing an ample capital, their success is not to be wondered at. They carry a large and well selected stock of general merchandise, dry goods, groceries, shoes, which they sell at lowest figures always.

Go and see them. Mr. A. R. Anglea has returned from the Northern markets where he has been pur chasing new spring goods.

He bought largely aud will have, something nice to show his customers in short while. In hatsj shoes and gents' furnishings he takers the lead. Latest styles, stiff and soft bats, fine shoes for ladies and gentlemen, best goods and lowest prices. Call and see Mr Anglea when you want anything in his line. Of course you have been reading about the big sales of tobacco made at Cooper's warehouse; well, in almost every instance where such fine sales-have been made the tobacco was grown with Ober's celebrated standard fertilizer.

And there is no better on the market; it has stood the test for years, and is the old stand-by of the most successful fine tobacco growers. Ober's Special Tobacco Compound Is sold by D. Y. Cooper. One pair fine mules, for sale on reasonable feblO- i wagon and harness terms.

At the Central Hotel next Wednesday evening a handsome silk bed quilt will be raffled. It is the work of Mrs. Delia Holloman, of Warren county, and is pronounced a beauty by all who have seen it.

A Vaxce Cocxtt Man Desperately Shot in California. Mr. J. E. Burroughs of Dabney was in our office Monday and told us of a terrible affair that' happened in California about two weeks 'ago, his brother Mr.

Lew K. Burroughs being the victim. The particulars as gleaned from a copy of the Daily Evening Index, published at San Bernardino, dated Feb. 12, arc these Mr. Burroughs was spending some time; with a friend in a distant part of the State, having gobe thither for the benefit of his health, he 'being a sufferer from chronic rheumatism.

While in the neighborhood a man-named Lewis invited Mr. Burroughs to go home with him and stay awhile, until be (Lewis) could make a trip to a plac distant about seventy miles and return. There was no one at home it seems but a young lady and a little daughter of Lewis' aged about eleven years old. After supper while sitting in the house near a window, Mr. Burroughs was fired upon by some one from the outside, an entire load of buckshot striking him on the left side of the face about the cheek bone completely shattering the upper jaw on both sides and tearing away the roof of the mouth.

One shot passed through the hose and ranging upward to the right put out his eye. The little girl who was standing near Mr. Burroughs at the time, received several flesh wounds also, the paper states. As soon as possible the wounded man received proper medical attention. His Jaws were wired together and while it was thought he would have little use them, and his face would be greatly cusngurea, at last accounts (intelligence received from a private letter) he was in a fair way to recovery.

No cause can be assigned for the shooting. Mr. Burroughs was a comparative stranger in the neighborhood, had deported himself as becoming a gentleman, and knew of no ill will that anyone had toward him. The theory is that he was shot through mistake, the murderous assassin doubtless mistaking him for Lewis, the master of the premises. Mr.

Burroughs is a son of B. Burroughs of this county; and has many friends who will be pained to hear of "his sad misfortune, lie left here souie twelve or fourteen-years ago for Texas, and for a long wiiile was engaged in business at Austin. About four, years ago he removed to California where he has since lived. Such sad news from their son in a distant landfalls with terrible effect upon the aged parents both of whom are upward of eighty years old. A friend writes "Dear Gold Leaf, mv old clock which has been running for years struck twenty-four yesterday at 12 o'clock, and has not ticked a tick since What is going to hapien?" Nothing at all friend; your old clock struck for repairs, and the best thing to do is to take it to the Golden Belt Jewelry House and let Mr.

Newell treat it to a thorough overhauling. mch. 3. Court Notes. A considerable amount Of business has beeii disposed of at this term of our court.

Judge Morrimon has won golden opinions on all sides. While perhaps be is not altogether as strict a disciplinarian as some no finer judge of law has yet sat upon the Bench in Vance county. He seems always to have law at his fingers' ends and in his citations he is apt and ready. It is no praise to say that in his rulings Judge Merrimon is fair and impartial, just and reasonable, while yet following the course of the law. His abil ity and high character, his plain and unassuming manner, aud his uniform courtesy and kindly Consideration have won for him the highest regard and profoundest admi ration of our people, without regard to race or distinction.

Some good speeches have been made in various cases by several members of the Bar, but perhaps no abler effort was ever made in our court house than that of Col. Edwards Thursday evening of last week in the ease of the State against W. H. This was a case in which the sher iff; armed with official papers to proceed to secure and collect a certain: debt, had accepted a sum of money from the party upon whose lands he had blTe to make execution, with which he effected a compromise of the matter. The sheriff claimed that he could find no that the debt eould not be made, and the claim was satisfied, in a sum less than the amount of money the sheriff had in his possession with which to effect the compromise.

In this transaction Smith elaimed that he was acting not in his official capacity, but as a private citizen, in the interest of both parties. This occurred some time ago, since which time developments were made whereon fraud was alleged and suit brought against the sheriff, The ease was one of absorbing interest and was strenuously fought on both sides Messrs. Edwards Wortham and Solicitor Worthing-ton appeared for the and Messrs. C. M.

Cooke and A C. Zollicoffer for the defense. Able arguments were made by counsel on both sides and after all the testimony bearing upon the case had been earefully brought out and the law touching the same clearly set forth, it was given to the jury. After being out a short while a verdict of not guilty rendered. was The following are the eases of most importance disposed of: Solomon Richardson, larceny, two years in State penitentiary: Mumford Blacknall, larceny, one year im penitentiary: Gray Williams, larceny, nntvi year' in penitentiary; Lewis Burton, lar eeny, one year In penitentiary; Luther Jones, shooting the boy Richardson, was sent to the county jail for twelve months, All colored.

OUR MAN ON THE OUTSIDI. CHIPS FROM A HATCHETT. Solicitor, Worthington is very mueh pleased with Henderson from a business standpoint, and with proper inducements, we think it probable he will become a citizen here. The most evenly balanced scales we ever saw are on the prescription desk of W. Cheatham Co! Incredible- as it may sound, it is yet a fact, you can make them vary the sixteenth of an inch simply with the lead left on the paper in writing of your address.

The price paid for female labor all over this country is so small, that good" people everywhere have been trying for years to do something to alter this-state of things, to enable a woman to reap-the same reward paid a man for the same, work. We read of the injustice and tin position practiced upon the poor sew1ngjgirls of New York and other large cities of the inadequate price paid the working "women1' of every class; our heart goes out in sympathy for their suffering, and we heap maledictions upon the hard hearted wretches who grow rich by cheating the almost starving women out of the price of their work. We do this almost every week every time we take up a Northern city paper, yet we never stop to think of how our people are actiug In the matter to see if there be hot a mote of this size in our crcn eye. If a woman," North or South, does the same work as a man, whether as sales- woman, book-keeper, or in any other ca pacity, there is neither reason nor justice in forcing her to accept half, or one fourth the pay given a man, or give up the situation. Our town Is growing, and in a few years we may expect to see a great many ladies em- nlnvtwl hr in different capacities, llenee the necessity of giving this matter some consideration now When -lady doe work that makes her entitled' to a-man's salary, let her have it; and let the ladies themselves have the Independence to de- mand fair compensation for their services, and when they are capable, it will not be long before their worth will be aeknowl- edged and they will be paid the same as male eterks.

I reached here at o'clock and wended my way. on' foot, up hill and down, through i muddy streets to the old Tucker House, which now bears the euphonious title of the "Hotel Florence." I had riot been here before since we made friends with our countrymen beyond the Potomac and I could' but wonder why somebody didn't build some more bouses here, as there is a good deal of unoccupied space between the bouses, and a goodly quantity of lumber. already saved, scattered along side of the quite convenient to the vacant lots. They have the biggest street cars i here you ever saw for the size of the team Two very small mules pull one of these large coaches up grade through the. picturesque streets; lined with handsome build ings and shade trees of almost every va riety.

I was in the tobacco warehouse of Jones Foster when their sale commenced, and was rather surprised at the quantity and quality of the break, both being much bet ter than I expected to see. Among the buyers 1 met my old friend and townsman Elvin Fleming, and also J. T. late of Danville, but now the largesfbuyer on the Raleigh- market. From the warehouse I went to the Capitol where met in the Senate chamber.

Rev. Dr. Dixon Col. W. F.

Beasley-' and Roger Gregory, of Oxford, also J. H. Dunn, of Henderson. rThe Senate is an Intelligent, dignified looking body of men, and will probably be able, (with the aistance of the newspaper men filling important positions in the two houses) to save the State from the vagaries of the lower house. 1 should feel more certain of this, though, if one of the Gold Leaf's staff filled one of these places of honor and profit.

i I was informed while in here that Col. Beasley had gotten a bill through to allow soldiers who have lost, one hand and one foot, one hundred and twenty dollars a year. So our old friend Dent, the wood hauler, will get money enough to 'take his ease when the weather Is bad. i I am most sorry I wrote about the lobbyists like I did last week. I didn't know them thent they are as well behaved a set of men as you ever saw.

They were not only polite and courteous to me, but I noticed particularly they were also very polite and deferential to the members of the House and Senate. Leaving here when every member seemed so full of spread, eagle eloquence he could scarce contain himself, I commenced my tramp in the Interest of the Gold Leaf, using as much oratory and logic as I heard in the Legislative halls, and with about the same result. My arguments fell still born. Thus fragrance was wasted upon the desert air; but I am not through with Raleigh yet. 1 shall make another effort to Convince her.

She can get a goodly portion of the trade from this section if she will only solicit through the medium of the Gold Leaf. From her nearness in miles and interest she is entitled to it, but it will not fall in her lap without an effort. Let her idly fold her hands, and the more enterprising Richmond will take the trade from her very doors. A. il.
