Let every farmer in Vance county lie here on the first Saturday in December, and join the Farmers Alliance.

Mr. James A. Stallings has been making large additions to his (tock of ladies dres goods, notions, trimmings, buttons, gents furnishing goods, lately, and invites his friends to call and examine the same. Ha shows a larger and better assortment than heretofore and his trade is increasing correspondingly. Mr.

Stalings' prices are reasonable, always. CjI. Burgwyn informs us that he has written to Hon. John Itobinson, Commissioner of Agriculture, and L. L.

Polk, editor of tlie Progretnze Farmer, to be present and address the Farmers'. Convention here on tlie first Saturday in De-cemlier, and both gentleman have signified their acceptance and promise to attend. This will be good uews to the farmers of the county. Let there be a big turn out 0:1 hat occasion. A fair idea of tlie knowledge tlie average North Carolina editor, has about farming, is had from the following paragraph which we.

see going the rounds of the State press: The Henderson Gold Lkak has been Henderson Fully AliTe-pNew Steps in Her March of Progress Her Railroads and Her Internal Improvements. Mr. Thomas M.

Never before has she Known such activity and enterprise as her citizens exhibit In laying hold of every opportunity of adding to her importance and prosperity.

One is almost-lost in wonder, as one enterprise crowds another. A few days ago it was! announced that the It. D. R. R.

Th'n building will be in one of the ltandsomest groves in the town, in a commanding position, and but two or three huudred feet from Garnett street, the principal thoroughfare of theltown. It is without doubt the most attractive site possessed by any railroad station iid North Carolina and it is understood that Col. A.

road at this end last Thursday. Tlie event was celebrated with becoming ceremonies, while there was 110 great demonstration. Speeches were made by Mr. Y. Cooper, one of the directors, and others.

Mr. E. Gary threw the first shovel full of dirt, and Rev. T. J.

Horner rolled away the first wheelbarrow load, followed by D. E. Young, by proxy, and Mr. Parry Wyche, two of our oldest and most highly respected citizens. 1 Work commenced in good earn est and will be pushed forward with all possible vigor.

It will be an addition to tlie old one, making virtually one and the same building.

This will doubtless be followed by a handsome brick passenger depot for the use of the Raleigh Gaston and Durham Henderson Railroads. Tlie course of the Gold Leaf metropolis is upward and onward, for verily we say unto you of a truth, never in all its history was its star of piosperty brighter than uow nor did its future ever promise so much of greatness and importance in the commercial world. STICKrXG CP FOR THEIR RIGHTS. Our Oxford friends are-somewhat exercised over what they consider an injustice about to be done them in the location of tlie de pot of tlie Richmond Henderson (Oxfor4 Clarksville) Railroad. From present indications it looks as if the company in tends to side-track Oxford, builuing its line away outside this edge of town, and the citizens are very justly remonstrating against such treatment.

The enterprising, public-spirited people of our sister town taxed themselves to get this road, and they certainly have a right to expect and de mand that a depot be located at some suit able and convenient place inside tlie cor porate limits of the town, even if they are not made the terminus of the road. Anything else would be unfair and unjust, not to say acting in bad faith with them. Tlie Gold Leaf commends the people of Oxford for pHtting fortli every effort to build themselves, up and pronioto the growth and prosperity of their beautiful little town, whether by voting subscriptions to railroads or otherwise, and it sees nothing to taunt them about because we are to reap from their liberality and enterprise. That they expected anything else but that Henderson would be the terminus of road from Keysville, we are a little surprised at. With all the lights before tlicip -iis was self-evident, it seemed to iSi But ve do not believe this matter so much concerns neighbors.

Oxford has rights -tiat should be considered, and the proper location pf her depot is one of these. Personal. Dr. F. R.

A man of progressive ideas, thoroughly in love with his profession, and ambitious to make himself as proficient as possible in the science and skill of the practice of medicine and surgerj'i the Doctor is never content with occupying r.ny middle ground. His stay in New York and the opportunity afforded him in i the hospitals and medical Colleges of studying the various diseases and the manner of teating them, will be taken full advantage of we are quite sure. Dr. Harris will be away several weeks.

Rev, S. W. Coe, pastor of the Methodist Protestant church, and Rev. J. p.

Arnold, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, preached their, farewell sermons last Sunday night it being the close of their Conference year. Both gentlemen will be returned to their charges we are quite sure. Their congregations and friends want them back, and no one will rejoice more to learn that they are to come hack and go in" and out among us again than the Gold Leaf. I Tlie Gold Leaf was pleased to receive a call from Mr. Thomas Mason, editor of the 'extern Tvbaeco Journal, of Cincinnati, Ohio, last week.

He was here paying his respects to our uiarket in the interest of his excellent journal, winch numbers many patrons among our dealers. We are very glad to see that Mr. James O'Neil is able to be out again after a long and serious Illness extending over several mouths. His many friends will rejoice with him in bis restoration to his former self again. One of our best and most useful citizens, his loss would have been a severe one to tlie community.

Indeed, his temporary absence from his accustomed place has been felt, while Lis affairs have been in very competent hands. Miss Laura Mitchell, of Memphis, a popular and fascinating young lady who has many fnendsand admirers in oyr town, is here visiting her aunt Mrs. R. li. Henderson, at present.

It was urged as a reason why "donation" should be voted in the election in Oxford, 'We don't want any dealings th the R.

G. railroad, we have been oppressed by them long enough, we want to get as cheap rates of freight as Henderson has." But now the complaints seem to be that Henderson will be accommodated a little in the movement, and that to without the burden of a heavy debt for the favor. Well, if she foresaw the inevitable result, and piutiently awaited its accomplishment, might you not, at least, give her credit for. her sagacity and prudence in the matter? The mad would have been built to Oxford much sooner had not the company thought they might get a "donation" out of her by a little delay oh llioir part." And they got it, and lelt Oxford a way station, as com pletely in the power or the and as: powerless to resist, as a jxssoin with its tail stuck in the split stick of a negro pos-soui hunter. But I have no doubt but what she will be greatly benefited, and a liberal spirit be shown by tlie Richmond Danville railroad company.

The writer act 11.1 Ilv talks about fallincr back in the arms of the Raleirh Gaston company for protection, if the newcomers aoii cotuoriu more to the wishes 01 the people that invited them there. talks like. he. is willing to make them 'lose the Oxford freights" if they don't beh more iu conform it-)' with their notions. That will do to talk about, but how is Oxford to ship her products by any route than the one she has? Borne down by heavy taxation, she is in no condition to vote further donations for without overburdening and hieaking the camel's back.

The writer says in case we "get a connection with tlie Raleigh Gascon road, the Oxford Clarksville will get the Henderson, but lose tlie Oxford freights." No doubt tiie much abused and kind mother would forgive her erring children and carry their freights very cheerfully, but how can they get their products from Oxford to Hender sou to be shipped on the Raleigh Gaston road Do tney suppose that Robinson will incur the heavy expense of a road to Oxford to oblige a people who have shown such a disposition to crush him? How can he depend on their good will and support? Tlie writer complains because Oxford has paid, or is to pay, about 100,000, or more, to give Henderson the "competing line." Did he not know that the company owning a road from Oxford to Henderson, that cost about 200,000, would use it in their interest in getting the freights of so im- Fiortant a place as Henderson The road rom Keysville to Henderson was built at a considerable outlay of money to the company, and they can't afford to lose such a feeder as Henderson to gratify the feelings of the Oxonians. There are points to which wealthy and far-seeing syndicates look and bend their steps to promote their interest, and Hendersoit ti her growth and prosperity has become a point of attraction to railroad enterprise. Tlie writer asks "what interest will our people have, in the Henderson road? nothing will be. shipped by us over the Henderson road." WJ10 cares whether you do or hot? Henderson can make her own seclectionof routes just as her interest may But Oxford like "Issachar crouching down between two burdens, desires rest, and bows hor shoulders a servant to tribute." If by her "haste ami inaisplaced conG- iU-WJ lilt CIW.UW VUfcTAI HI 11 -t lino if OC as she can in pav ing the taxes. If she voted it cheerfully to cut lose from tlie Kaleigh Gaston road, and get cheaper rates, and- has accomplished her aim, why complain? The Richmond Danville road has gratified your wishes by taking your donation and giving you cheaper rates, and now don't complain le.canse she wants to secure such an important feeder as Henderson to her road.

hat has Henderson done to awaken feelings of bitterness in the breast of leas favored towns against her? If she has natural and acquired advantages, should ,.1... ...1.. 1.. 1. 1 rowth all(, prosperity? It was said of the children of Israel while iu Egypt with the eve of a kind Providence looking to their safely and protection, The more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew." Such is the history of Henderson.

From her earliest history she has been ridiculed and maligned by those makiug futile efforts to outstrip her, until in her growth, stability and prosperity she has become the point to which railroad builders bend their energies. Henderson will take care of herself and steadily advance -in prosperity and influence despite the efforts of little envious minds to push her down. The writer "II says the Richmond Danville )mpauy actually paid $0,000 for an acre ot land in Henderson on which to build a depot, while Oxford is ''expected to furnish a depot for nothing." If she wishes to be heavily taxed to benefit a powerful syndicate with its millions, she can do so as far as Henderson is concerned. We shall not lift our voice against it. Tlie one acre of land was the property of an individual that was under no obligation to part with it without getting pay for it.

The company was able and willing to pay for the property, and they did it cheerfully. Why should the writer complain because one propei ty owner chooses to get the worth of his property before parting with it, and another chooses to give his away? If Oxford wishes to donate her money to enable a rich and powerful company to buy a aepot in a sister town sue cerTatniv can have the privilege of doing so. Hut what can she gain by finding fault with those that receive it? It an improvident man wishes to show off by throwing his money away, he can always find more prudent and provident ones to receive aud take care of it. In conclusion, I will say to the writer "in patience possess ye yoxr soul." If you liave made a mistake in Henderson would derive no benefit from your munificence, there Is nothing to be made by fretting over it. You voted your money to obtain as cheap rates as Henderson had.

and you will profeably get your wish. You wanted to be free from the Raleigh Gaston road, and you have accomplished your aim measurably, and why not enjoy the benefit you sought peaceably and quietly? Henderson will continue her career, advancing in wealth aud influence, wisely using the advantages she enjoys. Married.

He was a clear and strong thinker and a bold and Incisive writer. Mr. Jovdan was a native of Person county and represented it in the Legislature for several terms. He was a man of recognized ability and at tlie time of his death was the, senior member of tlie Bar of Henderson. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and for many years took an active part in church work.

Dr. Don Jordan at one time pastor of tlie Presbyterian church in this place, was a brother of the deceased. Another brother Mr. Matt Jordan, of Danville, also survives him. The funeral took place from the Methodist church Friday afternoon, and the large concourse of people who turned out to pay the last sad tribute of respect to tlie memory of the deceased showed the high esteem in which he 'was held.

The service was conducted by tlie pastor Rev. J. D. Arnold, his remarks touching upon the solemnity of death rather than eulogistic of the dead. The pall-bearers were Messrs.

CHIF3 FROM A. HATCHETT. Our people were much gratified at the performances ot the Meyer-Thome at Burwell Hall this week. On Mon day night they rendered "A Woman's Devo tion" with fine effect every part being well sustained, and every thing gotten out of it that was iu it. In this play tiie acting of Miss Bonnie Meyer, J.

II. Tliorne and Frank Anderson as lock keeper, was ex ceptionally good. Tuesday night they gave us the popular Western Comedy Drama M'Liss." In this play there is very much more room for "acting" than in "Woman's Devotion'' and some few of the minor parts were not so well sustained as in tlie Monday night's performance, though the defects were so slight the highly pleased audience scarcely detected them. On last night the Rebel Chief," the specialty of this Company, was played with universal satisfaction. Manager "Burwell deserves great credit for getting such good Companies here and our people should appreciate his effects in this direction and give him more liberal support.

there have been so many changes and anticipated changes about the number of warehouses to the sales committee hive thought ii best at times not to publish "them until there could be a certainty of their- correctness. We trust this will absolveus from seeming negligance to our tobacco friends. COTTOS ItEPOUT. Though Henderson Ls essentally a tobac-eo town in a tobacco country, tlie fact that our merchants pay high prices for any commodity brought here is evidenced by the following figures. ReceiptstoNovemher.il), 183R, C38 bales, v' 3837, This cotton is brought mostly from Warren and Franklin counties, and hauled, long distances because of the high prices paid here.

In fact, Henderson's territory is daily enlarging. Her push, enterprise and liberality is tlie cause. Tlie figures are taken from the shipping books of those buying eofton, "and are strictly correct.

Tlie Kate Bensberg English Opera Company will appear here about the middle of De cember, and the Levy Opera Company about the 24th, and probably the Boston Quintette Club about Jan.

13th We notice among the members of the Kate Bensberg Company the name of Mr. Ross David, the tenor, who was here with Miss Clara Louise Kellogg. Mr. Burwell deserves credit for his efforts tot give us entertainments by such excellent companies as these. Our Itingwood correspondent, G.

E. writing under date of the 22nd, says Mr. 11. A. Sledge an aged and highly esteemed gentleman died at his home near Brinkleyville last Saturday.

Jle was truly a good man and citizen, and leaves many friends and relations to mourn his loss. Mr. Sledge was 80 years of age. Tlie Nash county tobacco farmers Messrs. Avent, Saunders, and others, who were here recently with fine lots of tlie weed returned honie -highly pleased -with the result of their safes, and will continue to sell their tobacco in the Henderson market.

An ArrEAL. to Delinquents. Now is the winter of our discontent by reason of lack of money. Make it glorious summer by pouring shekels into ourcoffers until we can't rest a ud are forced to hire a hand to go around with us to tote" our wealth. As it was written aforetime, we are in dead earnest, thou brother, who art away back yonder in the woods, a dark horse in the brush, with your subscription.

Wake up, come running to the front and let us finger the "dollars of our daddies" now in your possession a little. The Board of Trade. Our excellent, enterprising young photographer, Geo. M. Newell, is getting up a picture of the memlers of the Tobacco Board of Trade.

It will be a splendid piece of work wlen finished. A few of the members have not yet had their "pictures taken," and they should do so at once as Mr. Newell is anx-iousto complete it. This will be a handsome souvenir of the Trade, showing all the memler8 in a body, and will doubtless be highly prized by them, and Mr. Newell's enterprise duly appreciated.
