BEATS THE RECORD.

Daiis fireiAiv Proprietors of tint Io? Jotan warebonse, Still Eali First Place Anions Tobacco Wareuraen. If a person had talked a few years ngo about having new crop tobacco on the market by the 18th of June, he would havebeea laughed at. One of the chief arguments against tobacco some years back was the belief that it conld not be got to market and realized on as early as cotton, but look at it now. Farmers are selling tobacco before their cotton commences to bloom almost. And justthink of the difference in the price of the two crops.

Much depends of course upon how the crop is cultivated, the character of the tobocco and who it is sold with. But what we started out originally to do was to call attention to the following: On the 18th Messrs. Davis Gregory, proprietors of the New Johnson Warehouse, Oxford, N. sold a lot of new crop tobacco for Mr. L.

F. Lucas, ot Wilson county, at the following prices One lot at 30.00 per hundred. One lot 37.50 per hundred. One lot 40.00 per hundred. One lot at 70.00 per hundred.

One lot 2 0.00 per hundred. This beats the record, both in point of time and prices paid for the tobacco. And these were no small handful lots for which fancy prices were paid. Mr. Lucas cured a full barn, nearly the whole of which was included in the above sale.

Mahone, on Fair Ground street, and with ap propriate ceremonies the work was inaugurated.

His Honor Mayor Hicks after a few brief remarks appropriate to the occasion threw the first shovel full of dirt, and was followed by other gentlemen present. All were enthusiastic in pronouncing this the mos progressive step Henderson has yet taken, and were earnest in their wishes for the early completion of the works. These preliminary exercises over laborers went to work digging the foundation for the stand pipe, and as soon as this is done the trenches will be rnade and mains laid along the streets.

C. WaTktss. Death of Mr. Ernest Jones. Mr.

Ernest Jones of Warren county, youngest son of Mrs. Lucinda Jones and brother of Col. T. L. Jones, of Henderson, died in Raleigh about 8 o'clock last Friday night.

He was naturally of a delicate constitution and was taken sick while in St. Louis, where he had gone to accept a business engagement about two months ago. He 8 tar ted to return and got as far as West Virginia when he stopped. Col. Jones was notified of his condition and went after him.

He was from nervous prostration and his mental condition was such that it was thought best to place him udder care of Dr. Wood in Raleigh, and for a while he appeared to be improving and hopes were entertained of his recovery. Friday his case suddenly assumed a different phase when he died as above stated. Mr. Jones was a young man of exemplary character and habits and was greatly esteemed by all who knew him.

He was about 30 years of age. The remains were brought to Henderson for burial the funeral being held from th Episcopal church at 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the rector Rev. Julian E.

In the absence of ajprogramwe can not give the names of the young ladies and entlemen who took part in it, but whether it were reciting a missionary address, quoting verses of Scripture, or singing they did well.

The infant class is deserving of special mention." Each one represented a letter of the alphabet and quoted some appropriate verse of the Bible beginning with the letter he or she bore. The illustrated sign lesson was a very pretty and interesting fea ture. A little girl would put up a large evergreen letter arranging them alternately in position until it read "God I love." But the idea was not complete until anothex little girl gave the reason why, by placing the letter by the side of the making it read 44 God is love." The missionary address of Miss Tsune Ilirata, a native Japanese young lady who has just graduated with high honors at Western Maryland College, Westminster, after a stay of four years at that institution, was listened to with interest by the very large congregation that filled the house. She read her address from manuscript and gave a brief account of her conversion and labors as a teacher in her native country before coming to America to prepare herself for missionary work among her people. She is intelligent and highly cultivated and impressed those who saw and heard her as an earnest and consecrated Christian.

Miss Ilirata was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Coghill during her brief stay in Henderson.

She left Monday afternoon to visit two or three other points in this State when she will return to Jrpan. The singing of the choir was an interesting feature of the exercises Sunday afternoon.

Jhe work is not finished and the new carpet has not been put down, but there will be preaching Sunday any way. Rev.

He preached 28 sermons in 13 days, and the local papers speak in warm terms of his work there.

The world will never know our resources unless they are proclaimed. Other towns no more favorably situated than Henderson are getting ahead of us because of this very thing. It will not do for us to sit still and depend upon our superior advantages. It is men that make a town. A city may have ever so many attractions or opportunities for investment, but if it holds its light under a bushel, it is likely to remain in obscurity.

Horner School, Oxford. We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of Horner School, Oxford, which appears in this paper. It is not necessary to speak of the su perior merits or advantages of this school. It is known all over North Carolina, from the remotest parts of which it draws patronage, and for thoroughness and efficiency no school of its kind stands higher.

Slig-htly Jumbled. In giving a report of the financial condition of the town as revealed in settlement with the treasurer, two mistakes were made, one a typographical error and the other a clear omission and confounding of figures by the printer. The amount received from the ex- Treasurer, was $396.59 from police fines, $855.36. In print it appeared as only $396.59 from police fines, while nothing was said of what was received from the ex-Treasurer.

The Gold Leaf has heretoforhe had something to say about the high stand the Henderson boys and girls have taken at school and the medals won by them for proficiency in certain studies, but the list is not complete yet.

We had the pleasure of a drive into the country with Mr. Frank Wortham Tuesday afternoon. Knowing him to be one of the most intelligent and suc cessful tobacco farmers in the county and learning that he has a fine crop (a common thing with him, however), we had a desire to go out and look at it. Nor were we disappointed. Mr.

Wcfrtham has about 180,000 plants out besides a good crop of corn, peas, po tatoes, His oats like everybody else's are sorry this year. His crop has been well cultivated, is free from grass and growing nicely. It is a treat to ride over his plantation and look at it. Other crops in the neighborhood are also looking well. We saw some fine tobacco of Mr.

George F. Wortham 's, while further on the crop of Mr. Sam'l W. Reavis is looking well. Below him Mr.

John W. Reavis, the Satterwhites, Messrs. James I. and Hunter, and Mr. Tom Fh-yd at Mr.

D. Y. Cooper's place (the old Hawkins tract) in the same neighborhood, all have excellent crops, we are told. We did not go as far out as that. Coming back we drove tnrough and saw some beautiful tobacco belonging to Mr.

Junius Belvin, an industrious and thrifty young farmer, who liyes nearer town. And these crops are not exceptional. From every quarter we hear encouraging reports. Wherever the crops have been worked they are looking well and growing nicely. Many Lives Last, or rather thrown a way, by allowing coughs and solas to run into bronscnitis ana catarrh.

What do you think about it? The editor of the Gold Leaf was advertised (in some of our State exchanges) to be in Boston this week as delegate to the National Press Convention. It would have been a delightful trip no doubt and we would have greatly enjoyed a week's stay at "The Hub," as the city's guest, but we couldn't go. Mr. John F.

Pa. We Welcome the Gestlemaa. We had the pleasure of a call last Friday from Mr. John W. Nelson, representing Messrs.

Woltmann, Keith of New York, the construction company who will build and operate the Henderson water works. Mr Nelson bore a letter introduction from a personal friend of the writer's, Mr T. H. Bain, City Clerk of Goldsboro, where he has. just completed what is said to be one of the most perfect sys tems of water works in the country, -a 1 1 ano wnne tne gentleman needs no words of recommendation or cotnmen datiou, to one who has been with him even for a short while, after reading Mr.

Bain's cordial and friendly letter concerning him and his work we felt that we had met an old friend and ac quaintance and extended to Mr. Nelson a hearty welcome to our town. He will be the superintending engineer in charge of construction During the last six years Mr. Nelson has built on an average of two water works plants a year, at Paducah, Jeffersonville, Greencastle, Shreveport, Mobile, Denni- son, Texas Sharon, and other places, his last work being at Goldsboro The Argus of that city, after an ac quaintance of fifteen months with Mr. Nelson and upon the completion of his work there says this The genial, courteous and thoroughly progressive 44 Johnnie Nelson, of the Goldsboro Water Company, who superintended the construction of the plant survey to the finish, is off to Henderson, N.

to take charge of the construction of a water works plant for that city. If he does as well by Henderson, as he has none for Goldsboro, then Henderson will have together with Goldsboro, what is conceded to be by all investigating ex perts, and what is tn fact, one of the very best water works plants in the country, we are all sorry to see "Johnnie leave town. During the fifteen months that he has spent in Goldsboro lew men nave made a more favorable impression and gained more lasting friends. His measurement of men was not by dollars and centsand his friendships were not of the "interested" kind. Many a kindly act of charity done to the needy, and without ostentation, will be remembered with blessing to his memory.

He takes with him the best wishes of his many friends here, who will always be glad to see him in our city. A Navel Watch Charan. 1'roL ti. n. lieu, the well known pro prietor of the extensively used Eureka Scalp Cleaner and Hair Purifier, paid Henderson a visit Monday.
