The plan suggested for establishing a system of water works, or water supply in case of fire, is a feasible one, and the matter is worthy of thoughtful consideration at this time, Iiead what "Spectator" says on the subject.

His company this season is said to be an exceptionally fine one. The Painesville Democrat says: Beware ice water. Ice water is a dangerous beverage at this season, aud unless a man insecticides it with a little cereal elexlr, in order to get rid of animalcule, he is apt have a more curious than pleasant col lection of antuiuological specimens estah- llshed in his epigastric region. ord3 that effect.

Say a word to your neighbor In behalf of the paper and get him to subscribe. There are many more improvements we wish to make, but can only go forward as our patrons enable us. The Gold Leap is yet short of what we wish it to be. but a little assistance from 'its friends' in the way of influencing othexs become patrons will help us to go forward. ILtod's rolitical Points, a handy little book for the Presidential campaign, is just out.

It contains finely "engraved portraits and sketches of the candidates for President and Vice-President and electoral and popular votes in previous elections and other useful information. Copies may be had free at the druggists, or by sending a 2 cent stamp to C. I. Hood Lowell, Mass. The old Leap was pleased to have the favor of a visit from Mr.

J. A. Parker, of Laurinburg, one of our valued yesterday. We found him to be a pleasant and agreeable gentleman, whose personal acquaintance we were glad to make. His encomiums passed" upon the Gold Leaf were i.o less gratifying to us than was the evidence he-left with us of his appreciation of the paper.

Unless you can ty a good word of your neighbor, say nothing; and If you are not going to speak praiseworthy of the mouth shut.

We do not ixean to say that you should countenance wrong or respect evil in your midst, but do not parade the fact before the outside world." Always speak up lor the town in which you live and derive your support, and. though you' may know some other is a bigger and bet ter place, have too much home pride to say so. But to the Gazette' remarks It is said that yon cannot even bribe a Henderson man to admit that his town is not better and bigeer than New Yorit. And herein lies much of the secret of the stjccess of that town 'tis local pride. What should be the punishment of a man who, while llvinir in a town or country abuses it and predicts disaster to It?

Mr. Edward A. Oldham The Gold Leap Is pleased to see the star of the gentleman whose name heads this article again in the ascendency. We notice that he has become the editor of The World, an eight-page morning paper published at Charleston, S. C.

Mr. Oldham has early won honors in Journalism, and they were honors won by lis own exertions, and tributes to his merits. Some years ago, a mere youth, he started and conducted with ability atl Wilmington the New South. He subseqnently removed to Winston and infused such life into the Sentiml that it became well known all over the country, to such extent Indeed as to draw to him the notice of a man-so prominent in journalism as Mr.

Randall, of Augusta, and the offer of a partnership in a daily, the Anniston, Hot Blast. The association in some way did not seem to be a happy one, aud was long since It may be as well to say that Mr. Oldham was offered the control of a so-called Independent paper In A-hevllle, but declined with the promptness that might be expected from an incorruptible Democrat.

W- A. Farriss has shown us a bit of a curiosity in the shape ef a piece of old Oeutinental currency. It is a bill and bears the following inscriptions At top running across the face of the note is "North Carolina Currency." Underneath that printed in capital letters is "Twenty-five dollars," below which is "No. 81," the figures being written in ink, which is still plain. Then follows printed In the peculiar type in vogue in those days "State of North Carolina.

This bill entitles the bearer to receive twenty-five Spanish milled dollars, or the value thereof in. gold or silver, agreeable to an act of Assembly passed at Hillsborough the Sth day of August, 1778." In the lower left band comer -'Sic tit gloria mundi" appears printed inside of a fancy border something like a seal. Tbe bill bears the signature 71a ink of f'Jas. Kerr" and "Win. Sharpe." Printed oa the left outer edge of the bill extending from bottom to top is "D.caUi.to counterfeit," whle OQ the ri ht side is right side is 25 dollars" making a line of equal length.

On the reverse side appears a line at the top "XXV Dollars' while at the bottom is "Printed by James Davis, 1778." Some crude specimens of typographic onnentatiou embellish the middle part while a border of unpretentious design sets off the whole. Mr. Farriss gives this history of this old piece of currency of other days. It was paid to Zachary Coghill for services rendered in the Revolutionary war. He gae it to his daughter, Mlssjgusan Coghill, who died near this jtlaee abont a month ago.

fj. i I Henderson Female In calling attention to the advertisement of Henderson Female College, the fall session of which opens September 15th, perhaps we cannot better set forth the merits of thajt Institution than by republishing the following from the impartial pen of Rev. J. U.j Arnold, written at the close of tbe past session. Mr.

Arnold says: I was glad to hear of the prosperity attending the institution. There have been about I one hundred pupils entered during tire seisioii. Tbisibas almost reached the capacity of the present school building. I looked into the chapel, at the close of a school; day some few weeks since, and every seat seemed to be taken and indeed they were crowded. There were representative from Pitt.

This clearly shows the willingness of the people; to patronize such an institution iu liendesrsou. There is a notable fact that needs to be emphasized, and it is, that there has not Deen ai case or serious sickness during the entire session, and there has hardly, been necessity for medical attention at all. The young uadies look well and healthy.

A Timely Editor Gold Leap: Allow me through the. icedium of -your valuable journal to suggest to the citizens of Henderson a meaas xenderrag themselves less he) p-i less tain they are at present in combatting tires aj means A)j which they can, at a comparatively small cost, secjure a liberal supply jof water, and by haviug which, fire Insurance would be reduced and propeity of every description within the limits of the sown rendered proportionately The plan I would suggest, Is to sink a well at! the highest point in tbe town, Isolated from any buildings. In which to put a really good forcing pump to be driven by awindjniill, and immediately contigious to it; erect in tower, say 30 feet high, upon which to place aiauk with1 a capacity of moon At different, rtninta erect otHer smaller tanks, as many as mieht be considered neeuiui, to De connectea with th main supply-tank and with each other by ordinary lead pipes of two inches in diameter. The wind-mill will pump Into the supply -tank, and being the highest, the water will flow by gravity in all the subsiding ones until; full, when it can be cut off from them by a simple faucet, and it will finally fill tho supply tank. As soou as all are filled the pump will be Uwown put of gear by automatic action and there vjill be no overflow or waste1 of i -5 When a fire occurs attach the hose to the plug in the tank nearest the fire, and in a few minutes a man can go from one tank to the other opening all the connections.

As soon the water besins to be used, it will fail in the supply tank and the pump is inrowji uiouiuiicniiy 111 begins at once. You would thus have a supply pf many thousands of gallons of water, and the pump at work to keep the supply kip. With such an arrangement, even your hand-pow er engine with a good length of hose would doadinirable seevice. How much more a steam fire engine would do, I leave for the consideration of your citizens I have no doubt but that the Underw liters doing business here would contribute to the esd il suggest. on ly add that this Ian of providing water is not alsogetkejr original spectator.

The Warbexton Gazette. It is a little late now but the Gold Leaf desires to congratulate Brother Foote of the Warren-J ton Gazette upoathe completion of the sixteenth volume of his paper. Few papers In North Carolina live so many years under the same management.

He has held his own against great odds and while others have gone down even with more favored circumstances surrounding them our of the Gazette has gone steadily forward laboring for the best interests of the people of his town and county. Esteeming it a pleasure always to clump ion their cause he has not wearied in weil doing and has labored perhaps when there appeared to te little encouragement for so doing. The Gazette has been of great service to its town and county and the honest and chivalrous sons of old Warren ought to come up to its support with appreciative hearts and generous hands. They owe it nothing less. It is clean, seir-respesting, honest, zealous, and desrves to live to see Its present age many times multiplied.

Going Apter Goods. Mr. L. D. Stain-back, of the popular and successful young mercantile firm of Barnes, Stalnback will leave for Xew York next Monday to purchase new goods for the fall trade.

He will take passage ou one of the Old Dominion steamers at Norfolk and go direct, returning via Philadelphia, and Baltimore. He expects to make extensive purchases of clothing, shoes, gents furnishing goods, and will have something nice in both qnality and price to show his cus- tomers.in a few weeks. Barnes, Stalnback Co. have rented one of the store room in the Youngs Block, and will move into it about the 10th of September. It will 'be finished up in elegant style, and with an immense new stock of goods which will be shown off to good effect by the brilliant glare of the electric light, they will have one of the handsomest places of business in The front is to be ornamented with colored glass in the xaidst of which a very pretty sign has been painted by 3r.

Willie Gibson just over the door. As to the Health op Henderson Dr. F. li. Harris, Superintendent of Health, has kindly furnished us with the following facts regarding the number of deaths in Henderson during the month of July: There were 8 deaths in all, 4 white and 4 colored.

Of that number only 1 was an adult, a colored" woman who died of consumption of the bowels. A colored child died at 11 weeks old, its mother having died of consumption when it was but three weeks of age. Another, a white child, 8 months old, died of cholera Infantum; and one at 3K months old died of cerebral meningetis; wlflle a third died at 2 weeks old, and as this was a premature birth it. is sc-mewbat remarkable that it lived as long as it did. Front this it will be seen that there was no local cause nothing to indicate that so far as the general health of the town is concerned there would not have been a single death during the month of July, perhaps as sickly a season as we have.

Such deaths as we had are likely to occur anywhere, at any time. Tell Them About it. We agree with what the Kichmond Christian Advocate says in the subjoined paragraph, and simply wish to add that the same kind of complimentary word occasionally. It does good and helps one to go forward in the discharge of his duties" with a more resolute and determined effort. But to the paragraph quoted from the Christian Advocate.

It says Don't be afraid of spoiling your preacher by encouragement. If he has piety and sense, it will benefit him. Don't wait until he is dead to speak of the good you received under his ministry. "Tell him so." while he is living. Post mortem benedictions will not help him a bit.

No true man wants flattery he despises it but if we can sincerely say to a preacher, Your preaching does me good," scatter a few sunbeams along 1iis path by "telling him so." Don't keep it all to yourself. It will do much more good by telling it. If he is helping 3'ou. brethren, tell him so," and tell it around. Yes It as Us.

Whv. certainly! And, Thad, had you ever thought seriously apon what a brilliant set we red headed ones are, anyhow?

While walking through Mr. 1. C. Rowland's tobacco field, near town, a few days ago his attention was struck by an extra large stalk close by. Upon close examination lie found it to contain 14 leaves and to measure 7 feet high when the top leaf was stretched upward.

One leaf was exactly 3 feet long and 23 inches wide. Tire plant Is in a healthy condition and is yet growing vigorously. Mr. Geo. H.
