As wiU be seen by advertisement in tlus paper Mr. Richard Marston, proprietor of tlie Wilmington mineral ing located near town, has recently had another analysis made of the water and he Is seeking to bring It into greater pub lie favor. The analysis shows that thb water is highly mineral being strongly Impregnated with Iron, lime, magnesia, potash, silica, alum, amounting to 28:10 to the Imperial gallon. In the Chemist's note he says the water should have medicinal properties as the contents of mineral matter are large. Desiring to develop tills property the proprietor offers, very liberal propositions to bonajide settlers, or such person or persons; something for exhibition at the Weldon sir, Surely Vance county has many things she might do credit to herself by letting outsiders see.

Theatrical. J- Clinton- Hall's dra- a tic company presented the, pleasing Wes tern oomedy drama Ranch 10 at Burwell Hall last Friday evening.

A fair sized audience witnessed the performance which was perhaps up to the average. Monday and Tuesday nights Cora Van Tassel's company occupied the boards. They had advertised to play Sweet 16 the first night, but instead Kave the audience Saved by a Dream, a rehash of Kathleen Mavourneen. The second night they played Fanchou, the Cricket. They did not have as large an audience but the performance was better.

The company is not as good as it was formerly. We've got best, largest and cheapest stock of goods ever brought to Henderson. S. C. Watkins.

One of the most novel and useful inventions we have seen the Maybaum self-lighting pocket lamp. It must be seen to be understood and appreciated It is simple in constructionand cannot get out of order. All you have to do is to turu the barrel (or inside part) of the lamp and a small strip of thin card board on which is arranged a substance resembling a match head slides into place. This is struck by a piece of wire fixed on toP of tne contrivance, and the wick is instantly in a blaze. Simple as'isthe whole thing it gives a very good light and will bum it is claimed for 12 hours.

Where a temporary light Is wanted, and for lighting cigars, pipes and the usual purposes for which matches are used there is nothing likg fins unique little affair. For sale at Barnes, Staiuback Co's store. Call and see it. Mr. C.

4 No TimsT Bagging in Their's. The Gold Leaf rejoices In the determined stand the farmers are taking against the imposition of the Jute bagging trust. They positively refuse to use it, and what Is more gratifying stiU, they are doing very well without it, thank you. Hurrah for the farmers aud Southern pluck and enter- prize that finds itself equal to the emergency in supplying suitable substitutes for lastjweek that the Farmers Alliance of Halifax county had petitioned to the mer chants1 not to handle "trust bagging." The Weldon Next says on the subject The 'merchants of this place have only sold two and a half yards of Jute bagging this season and that was for a purpose other than wrapping up One man who ordered bagging was sent a roll of Jute bagging by his commission merchant and had it in his cart, but when told about the action of the Farmers' Alliance took it on bisj shoulder; carried it back to the warehouse' and ordered It re-shipped. The farmers say they will not use It under any conditions not even if It were given them.

That's the way to stop trusts and if they listen they will probably hear someining break! somewhere near the jute bagging trust. So mote it be. To Let.

eounty, some 6 miles from the spring, and bm4s lor itxegulaxl mation of the Jute Bagging Trust, Just as rthe vast cotton crop of the South was about to be moved, and which it was designed lo rob the planters of millious of dollars by forcing them to pay exorbitant prices for bagging, no question has so agitated this part of the country. With a pluck and determination born of a spirit of righteous Indignation the farmers met the is sues squarely and refused to be Imposed upon and robbed in any such manner. The Farmers' Alliances throughout North Carolina were Quick to act and all over the South their course has been approved and adopted. They determlnd not to use jute "bagging to cover their cotton wii aud. be gan to cast about for a suitable substitute arious articles were suggested.

A very good bagging has been made of pine straw and this Is thought by many to be the Afcearse cotton -has and to this the tGoLD Leaf is very much inclined as a sub- btitute for jute bagging? It has many things in its favor to recommend it. In conversa tion a few days ago with Mr. James Amos, one of our most intelligent and practical farmers, he argued in favor of the cotton bagging, and gave good reasons therefor. The average cotton -crop of the South is about 6,000,000 bales. To cover this it Is estimated that it would take from one to one and one-half million bales of the commoner grades being employed in the- manufacture- of bagging of course.

This, would crealb a greater demand for our poor oods which bring from XA to 2 cents less than middling, while it would also raise the price of the better grades at least 2 cents a pound. This it can readily be seen would be vastly to the benefit of the cotton planters. That a good and suitable covering for cotton can be made of cotton admits of no doubt. This has been thoroughly demonstrated and its fitness in every respect is conceded. It withstands usage, handling, compressing and fire equally as well as jute and tests made show that it will not burn as readily as either, jute or pine fibre bagging.

When the matter is looked more carefully into, the Gold Leaf has no doubt but that the popular demand of the cotton planters of the South will be for a wrapper made from their own product. To the Ladies. I desire to inform. the ladies of Henderson and surrounding country who may wish to do shopping in Baltimore (where they will have the advantage of the gretest variety from which to select, and the very low prices at which the goods can be purchased in this market), that I am prepared to fill orders In dry goods, notions, furniture, carpets, etc, and will attend to all business promptly. Send money and describe as near as possible what you want, or better still, send sample, to order by.

D. ti To the Voters of Vaace County. As a candidate for tlie Legislature from this countv, duly nominated by the Democratic Convention that assembled in Henderson on Sept. 29th, I respectfully solicit the votes of my fellow citizens. Not since our county was formed has it been represented by a citizen of Vance, elected by the qualified voters of Vance county.

Warren county has been electing our representative. We think fn this respect we have been deprived of our constitutional rizht to have at least one member jn the House of Representatives elected by the people of our county. You have selected me to make this canvass in your behalf, and I confidently rely upon your active support and your unfailing attendance at the polls on Tuesday, November 6th. If elected, I shall advocate in the Legislature, every measure that will conduce to the well being of the people of my county and State. Our public school saystem can be amended so as to give greater facilities to the people and longer terms of schooling.

A Reformatory Institution where youthful criminals may be sent and given a chance, while serving out their punishment, to acquire some skillful trade that will fit them to become good and useful citizens in after life, should be established in the State, so that only those of adult age and those who have committed the highest crimes shall be sentenced to the penitentiary. In national matters I believe laws that tax the people above the needs of Govern-ernmentare unconstitutional'; that a high protective tariff, such as we now suffer uu-der, imposes a bHrden upon the great masses of the people for the benefit of a few manufacturers and that the expense of living for thss poor will be reduced by an emendment of the Tariff laws such as is proposed by the Democratic party, which 1 heartily approve. Remember that a people are Judged by tho character of those they elect to office. i Your Obedient Servant, Wm. U.

E. Powell, aged eleven months and eleven days, died Friday evening, Oct. 19th, 1888, at 10 o'clock. The little dark-eyed treasure of Whom 1 write was a most lovely and amiable child, just such a one to gladden a home, and twine her little self around all who knew her to till the fond hearts of her loving parents with bright anticipations of a loving and useful future. But God knows best No more in this world will her fragrant breath fall on her mother's cheek.

No more will she hold out the velvet hand and tin) arm to the heart-broken father, in trembling, glad expectancy. No more lisping accents to greet the all attentive ear; The little gem has gone. And oh I itrs so hard to give her up. The great philosopher Tupper says: "A well spring of bles'sing to a house is a baby;" and the sentiment is responded to by every heart that has ever beeu touched and' tendered by such sweet influence. The parents disturbed nights, and anxious and laborious days, are so cheerfully endured for baby.

One of the finest pictures of the great artist DeVeaux, is that of the Bandit's baby wooing him back to virtue. How the stern nature gave way before those innocent smiles, how the demon spirit is being exercised by the pure light of those dove-like eyes. Yes, man, proud, lofty, arrogant, 'of such is the kingdom of heaven, and except you receive the kingdom of heaven as a little Child, you shall in no case enter therein." How beautiful this baby was. The clear depth of those bright dark eyes; the rich coral of her lips, her Parian marble brow the graceful movements of her dimpled arms, and then her animation, her freshness, her sweetness. This she was in life surely death is far lovelier, for nothing can exceed the sculptured wax-work beauty of an infant's corpse.

No semblance of Death in his terrer was there. Serene in beauty, as in the gentlest slumber; but she was with God. Surely the mother should fe.il proud and honored to give an angel to the sky that she has kindred in Heaven, and should she remain faithful, perhaps when she is loosed from this earthly home, little Emma, hand In hand with her little brother Hugh who is there, will be the first to welcome her in her home in Heaven. L. Good racing is promised at the Weldon fair.

This will be an attractive feature to lovers of this exciting anil interesting sport. Business Change. Until about a year ago Henderson had no establishment that dealt exclusively in furniture. Since that time Mr. William DaffroaV of Richmond, one of the largest dealers In and manufacturers of furniture in the South, has been operating a branch house here.

Mr. Edward M. Sharpe, a young gentleman of fine business qualifications, has been manager of the Henderson store, and the success of the enterprise up to the present time Jias been largely due to his excellent man agement. Daffron's furniture store, Henderson, N. has become widely known throughout this section for, the extensive stock kept," the excellent quality of the.

goods, the reasonable prices at which they sell, and the uniform courtesy and fair dealing which all customers receive. This speaks well for the management and the past we take it is but an-arnest of the future conduct of the business with Mr. Sharpe at its head. But hereafter he will operate from a somewhat different standpoint as will be seen from the certificate of sale printed below Mr. Sharpe has bought out the entire business, stock on hand, of Mr.

Daffron in the Henderson store and will continue it in his own name hereafter. He has added largely to his stock and will keep it up to its usual high standard. He will carry a complete line of furniture of every description from the cheapest cottage and bed room suits to 4 the handsomest chamber and parlor suits, chairs, tables, writing desks, book cases, wardrobes, sideboards; dressing cases, wasbstands, settees, lounges, etc: Prices WUl always be the lowest and terms the; most reas? onable. Sharpe invites the public to call and Inspect his stock and ask prices before purchasing elsewhere. First store, O'Neil Block.

The Richmond excursions took away a number of our citizens to see the big Exposition yesterday. Both the Richmond Danville and Raleigh Gaston roads ran special trains.

Fare for the round trip, including one admission to the Exposition grounds, was Very reasonable, that, but we never had the benefit of such low rates until a competing line was established.

If not, register, and tell your township executive committee to organize you. Go to work in the cause of good government, and don't stop until the sun goes down on election day.
