At a meeting of the incorporators of the Atlantic, Henderson Virginia Railroad company, '(the name under which the charter was obtained for the purpose of building the road into Nash county), recently held, the following officers were elected: President, J.

B. Harris, Wm. HJ 8. 'Burgwyn, W. S.

Parker, J. R. Young, J. II. Tucker, S.

Watkins, Jas. H. Lassiter. These are all good selections, representing some off the largest property owners and most substantial business men of the town. They are all men of good sense and judgment who have made a success of their'individual business and are well qualified to assume the responsibility of managing this important enterprise Mr.

Young, who by virtue of hie office as President, is perhaps entitled to more special mention, needs neither introduction nor commendation from us. He is one of our best known citizens, a man of fine business sense and executive ability, fulL Of and pushes to a successful Issue whatever he undertakes. A man of sound judgment, broad views and advanced ideas, he is at the some time careful and conservative and only acts after mature thought and deliberation. Mr. Young assumes his office with a determination to put this enterprise through and under his splendid executive ability and tireless energy and activity we feel confident that all will be done that; could reasonably be accomplished by any man.

Mr. Y'oung possesses in a marked degree those sterling qualities necessary to Buccess iu any great enterprise, and we believe time will prove the wisdom of his selection for this important position. Mr. II. L.

Whiting, late of Durham, has opened a soda water, ginger ale and beer bottling and manufacturing establishment in Henderson. He oct cupies one of the store rooms in the Cheatham" building, on Montgomery strict. Our friends will please be careful to distinguish between thi utterances of this paper and any other. We have short comings of our own enough to answer for without being saddled with those for which we are in no way responsible. Eternal advertising is the price of trade.

Some argue that it Is xpensive to advertise. It is the most profitable expense you can have if you handle it properly. Now is the time to plant your advertisment to reap a rich harvest of the fall trade. How do yod like the big advertisement of Gem of North Carolina -Tobacco Towns," printed on the fourth page of the Gold Leaf this" week Read it and then send the paper to some persons who may be interested in this section of the country. A German, complimentary to Mr.

and Mrs. P. B. Clarke and Miss Jordan, of Birmingham, Alabama, will be given at Burwell JIall this evening. That it will be a brilliant and enjoyable affair the ladies and gentlemen who are to participate in it is the best guarantee.

There were six deaths in Henderson during the month of July, three white and three colored. Four died of typhoid fever and two of pheumonia being evenly divided between the races in each case. We gather these facts from the mortuary record of Mr. J. E.

Young, City Clerk. Always move a little ahead of the trade. As one local advertiser is wont to say: "Anticipate their wants." Don't wait until. Christmas before you advertise holiday goods. Always get in your announcements in season.

Now is the time to make your announcements for the fall season. Every citizen of Henderson should at all times consider himself a special committee of one to give every visitor a cordial reception and create in his mind as favorable impressions as possible of our town and people. Such treatment of strangers will do much The 8tdrage "Warehouse Sale a 1 Big Success. Henderson Leads the Way With the First Auction Sale by Sample Ever Held in the State. Over 271 Hogsheads Sold the First Day.

Brother Harmon of the Danville Tobacco JouroaZ, was here in attendance upon the opening stale at the Henderson Storage Warehouse last. Thursday. He 'gratified at whathe saw and heard and has the following kind mention of pur market in his paper Henderson made history for the tobacco Jrade of North- Carolina on Thursday, She held the first sale of tobacco at auction- by sample ever known in the State and made a big success of this initial effort. Prominent 'tobacco men from different sections of both States were either present in person-or represented by their resident buyers. 1 Henderson's hospitality was open to all, and every visitor 'went awayWith Henderson's praise on his lips.

At auction 51 hogsheads were offered, resulting in the sale of 30 hogsheads and rejections 21 hogsheads. Up to 2 o'clock the private sales amounted to 112 hogsheads, but in the afternoon 129 hogsheads more were the total of private sales for the day 241 hogsheads. Including auction sales the total for the day up to 7 o'clock reached 271 hogsheads, with many other sales pending. f-n -s -v ft The sales included rrappersmokers and fillers. Opexloi of wrappers, 13 packages, was as fine as was ever seen in the State.

Henderson's storage warehouse, under the presidency of Mr. J. P. Taylor and the inspectorship of Mr. W.

E. Gary has, beei a success from the start. It has paid a handsome dividend and is a -credit to the enterprise and business tact of Henderson's go-ahead citizens. Henderson is forging her way forward and nothing can now retard her progress. There are few if any towns in the State where the people are more thoroughly awake to the spirit of progress.

And yet with all their enterprise these people have kept the growth of the town upon a conservative basis, allowing no mushroom or fictitious boom. To the tobacco men is largely due much that has been accomplished, for Henderson draws her life from The field where bend in yellow plumes The magio plant from magic sfeea Immortal type of human gold The matchless golden weed. Her sellers and buyers and handlers of the yellow leaf have not only built up happy homes and comfortable incomes for themselves, but in, doing this they have helped to build one 'of the most delightful tows that1 stand on North Carolina soil to-day. Henderson is full of hustlers and that's what makes the town grow. King's Royal Germetuer is the greatest remedy yet introduced.

We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement and the merits of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Raleigh, which begins its second j'ear on the fourth of September. Its first session was successful beyond expectation, and seventy young men were enrolled in the Freshman class. The.

college offers two complete courses one in Agriculture and one in Mechanics. These courses include departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanics, Chemistry, History, English, Book-keepmg. The students in both Agriculture and Mechanics have practical work on the farm and in the shops every day. The State is providing liberally for its young men who want to be practical workers, and at a very cheap rate. A young man who secures, by competitive examination, a county appointment, can take a year's course for one hundred dollars.

Each county is entitled to as many county students as it has Representatives. Pay students will find that one hundred and thirty dollars will carry them through a year.

Barnes, Stainback Co. Have Something: to Say to Their Friends and Patrons. "In the world's broad field of battle, there are merchants and there are merchants, and in Henderson there are BARNES, STAINBACK A The wide-awake, progressive and never- fail-to-get-there Clothiers and Gents' Furnishers, of whom it is our privilege and pleasure to write this week. The success of no firm has btvn more marked from th very beginning and the growth of no business more steady and rapid than theirs. This is to be accounted for in a few words They are live men and liberal advertisers; they push their business; they handle ichat the people want; they deal only im reliable good; they sell at a reasonable profit; they treat every body right, and make it to the interest of those who trade with them.

Barnes, Stainback Co. are the only exclusive dealers in clothing and gents' furnishing goods in Henderson, and they carry one of the largest and most coni- f)lete stocks to be found outside of the arge cities. They buy direct from the first manufacturers of the country and handle only the standard makes of clothing, hats, shoes, gents' furnishings, trunks, valises, umbrellas, and when they sell you an article its quality can be relied on. While the firm have done a large trade this summer in going throngh their srock they find that they yet have several thousand dollars worth that must be got rid of beforoihey can make room for new fall purclGfceg soon to arrive, and to accomplish this they propose to make a great reduction in prices during the month of August. On some articles they will be cut square in two, while on everything there will be such a sweeping reduction that buyers will be both astounded and delighted.

Now is the time to secure bargains in such goods, and HARXE8, STAINBACK A Clothing and Gents' Vurnishing Emporium is the place to find them. The senior member of the firm, Mr. L. W. Barnes, left for the Northern markets and manufactories Monday, and gave us to understand that it was his intention to buy more extensively this season than ever before.

They have had an nnpre-cedentedly good trade all along and with the flattering prospects before them they are going to make every preparation for even greater things in the future. This is why much of the stock on hand must be disposed of at once, and the ruling idea with them is How shall we Bell it?" not "How much shall we get?" for an- article. And they propose to sell goods during this month at your figures, almost, not their own. Go and see Barnes, Stainback Co. if you want to get genuine bargains in goods in their line.

Something- New in Sortb. Carolina To bacco Markets. The opening sale at the Henderson Storage Warehouse last Thursday was pronounced a success.

While the at tendance of buyers from a distance was not as large as had been expected, a considerable quantity of tobacco changed hands and the officers of the storage company express themselves as well pleased at the result of their first sale. '271 packages of. tobacco were auction and privately Thursday, and several big deals were made afterward. Altogether it was a very good beginning and shows to the trade abroad that Henderson proposes to become a great market for the sale of hogshead tobacco as well as the leading loose market in the State. Personal.

The friends of Mr. P. B. Clarke, formerly of Hemdersen, but now of Birmingham, Alabama, are pleased to see him here after an absence or several yeras. He is accompanied by his wife, a cultivated and accomplished lady to whom he was married some months ago, as chronicled in these columns at the time, and her niece Miss La la Jordan, a very charming and fascinating young lady who has already made many friends and admirers among our people.

Aside from forming so happy a matrimonial alliance, Mr. Clarke has done well in a business point of view since going Irom Henderson, being a member of a prosperous whosesale concern with headquarters at Nash-viUe, Tenn. It is always pleasing to hear good reports of the success of our Vanes county boys abroad. Mr. J.

II. Bridgers who is attending the law school of Hon. John Manning and Judge James E. Shepherd, at Chapel Hill, spent Sunday with his friends here. are pleased to learn as we did from one of his instructors a few days ago, that Mr.

Bridgers has taken a high stand in his studies and promises to attain success in his chosen profession. Knowing his natural ability and the thorough preparation he has had while reading law under Mr. Zol-licofTer, we were prepared to hear such good reports of our young friend. Maj. Erasmus Taylor, who with a force of hands has been prospecting for gold at his place, in Warren county, made a visit to town last week after an absence of a month or two.

It is needless to say his hosts of friends were pleased to see this genial gentleman and shake him by the hand. The Major tells us his success in unearthing the' shining metal has been quite flattering and he brought in a number of fine nuggets of gold as proof thereof. Dr. W. T.

Cheatham has gone on a pleasure trip to Texas. He will pay a visit to the Messrs. Rowland, of Tyler, and will take in some of the principal cities and points of interest in the Lone Star State before he returns. No man is more entitled to a season of rest and and we are sure his patrons will cheerfully accord 4o hirq this brief respite from labor, care and anxiety concerning them. Mr.

Richard T. Wyche has accepted an engagement as physical director at the gymnasium of the Young Men's Christian Association, and will be with us a month or six weeks. He comes highly recommended as being specially fitted for the duties of instructor in physical culture as applied to the apparatus in use at the gymnasium which has just been fitted up here. Messrs. Will Ed Massenburg, Tom Horner and Joe Hart left yesterday for Oxford to enter upon their studies at the well known Horner Military School.

All three are new scholars. Two other Henderson boys Messrs. John Young and Julian Ingle, former students, and both of whom took high honors last session, have gone back also. Rev. Mr.

George, of Armenia, who has been taking a theological course in this country preparatory to engaging as a missionary among his people, preached at the Baptist church in Henderson Sunday night. Although a native Turk he speaks very good English and preached an interesting sermon. Hon. Henry G. Turner, of Georgia, has been nominated for Congress by acclamation.

Mr. Turner is a native of North Carolina and a brother of Dr. V. E. Turner, of Raleigh, whose first wife was a daughter of our venerable and highly esteemed townsman Mr.

James II. Lassiter. Rev. R. P.

Pell, of Wilson, preached in the Presbyterian church here Sunday night. He preached aff Nutbush in the morning and was listened to on both occasions by attentive and appreciative audiences. Messrs. Gilliam Hart, Nathan and Henry Strause, of Henderson, and Messrs. Otis Smoot and Abe Strause of Oxford, left Monday for Alleghauey Springs, to spend a season.

Mr. Ashby Watkins has gone with his family to Texas which State he will make his home in future. Only the best wishes of our people go with them into their new home. The many friends of Miss Tucker Massenburg are pleased to see her home again from Baltimore where she has been enjoying a delightful visit of some weeks. Mr.

M. T. Smith; one of-Richmond's prominent tobacconists, was a visitor to our market Saturday. Mr. Smith has many friends and patrons among our trade.

Mr. II. M. Cannon, one of our prominent and popular young tobacconists has gone to Virginia pleasure resorts for a season. Mrs.

A Good Selection. Mrs. D. B. Garden has accepted a very flattering offer tend ered her by the president of Clarempnt College, at Hickory, and she and her daughter Miss Lena will leave about the first of September to make their home in that yery delightful young city.

Mr. Sanborn and the patrons of flourishing institution of which he is the head are to be congratulated upon this addition to the faculty. Mrs. Garden is a highly accomplished and thoroughly educated woman and while we shall regret to lose her services in Henderson we regard her selection and acceptance as most fortunate for Claremont College. She lias had large experience as a teacher both in colleges of high grade and in primary and intermediate schools and will carry into her new position the wealth of a richly stored mind and 3'ears of practical application to her chosen profession.

Little and comes to us very highly reccommended. The way in which he handles the apparatus is incontrovertible evidence that he knows what he is about. Two classes will be conducted, one at 5:30 p. and another at 9:00 p. m.

This is done in order that all may avail themselves of the instruction, there being many who could not attend were the classes consolidated at either of the above hours. The exercises will commence promptly at the advertised hour and last thirty minutes. Those who wish to join the classes should lose no time but come at once as the Director will be with us not to exceed five weeks. The exercises will be light, safe, simple, beneficial and pleasing. Right here we want to congratulate the Association upon the new life so thoroughly manifest.

At the last business meeting twenty-five new names were enrolled lor membership and the members are bestirring them-selvas. Household and Kitchen Furniture, for Sale. As Mrs.D. B. Garden will break up housekeeping and leave town about the first of September, she authorizes us to say that she wishes to sell her entire household effects, bed room, parlor, kitchen furniture, on or that date.

Also a very fine cow and some hogs. These things will be offered privately and if not disposed of beforehand will be sold at public auction, due notice of which will be given later. Persons interested would do well to call on Mrs. Garden. The Nash County Railroad.

A correspondent writing from Henderson to the Nashville Argonaut relative to the vote in favor of building the railroad says By an almost unanimous vote Henderson has voted $35,000 to the road to run from here to your place or some other point in Nash county. When the question was first mooted, there was some opposition but nearly all of it disappeared before the cry raised by the solid, progressive business men of the town. Henderson is still in the ring and with the new road into Nash county may be expected to make even more rapid progress in the future than in the past, he new census shows that from 1,421 in 1880 Henderson has grown to 4,256 inhabitants. Few towns in the State can show so good and increase. You don't hear much of her booms, but just watch her for she is steadily growing.

Nash county may look forward to and expect great things from a close railroad connection? with Henderson, for Nash can raise fine tobacco and Henderson is the place to sell it. Her lands will find ready sale on the market at good prices. Nothing can do more to enhance the value of the lands of any section than the difference to the farmer in cotton at 9 cents a pound and tobacco at such prices as Nash county tobacco has been bringing in the Henderson market. Again your other farm products, besides tobacco, will find a ready sale in Henderson. Henderson needs your lumber also, for is not much of it as good as that from Moore county? A man who bas practiced medicine for 40 years, ought to know salt from sugar read what he says Toledo.

irentle-tnen I have been in the general practice of medicine for most 40 years, and would say that in all my practice and experience have never seen a preparation tbat I could prescribe with as much confidence of success as I can Rail's Catarrh Care, manufactured by you. Have preseriDed it a jrreat many times and its effect is wonderful, and would sav in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of catarrh that It would not cure, if they would take it according to directions. Yours truly, L.JL. Officet'213 Summit St. We will give 100 for any ease of catarrh that, cannot be cured with Hall's Catarrh Core.

Or in the fai-e of a fellow who is higger than you. The Germantown Iadejtendent thinks the tnanny girl would be better appreciated if she would try to be a woman.

A number of new advertisements appear for the first time iu this issue of the Gold Leaf. Head them over carefully. The supply of country watermelons seems to be. Some are on our market weighing from 35 to CO pounds. i Advertising is a gear in the machine of a well regulated store.

It cannot sell the goods itself, it only delivers the customer, as it were. The apple of emerald hue has made its appearance, and the pangs and tortures of Johnny Jones and his sister Sue" will soon be ripe. More business men attribute their success to the judicious use of printers' ink than to any other one thing. Are you doing all you can to secure trade? Mr. O.

C. Crump who is curing tobacco for a leading planter at Farm-ville, X. writes to the Gold Leaf that the crop in that section is very tine. There are two th'uigs, says an observant exchange, attractive to many church-going people the close of the sermon and the clothes of the congregation. With the completion of tire Nash county railroad, making four centering here, a grand union dept will be one of the necessities of our growing and flour islyng town.

One who doubtless speaks from experience, says it galls a fellow awfully, to go away to the seashore a few days and come home and find that he had nofbeen missed from town. Farmers who live near town are fortunate in having a good home market for their products.

All kinds of country produce find ready sale in Henderson at remunerative prices. Young man, see here? We otter a suggestion for your special benefit. A uTky girl may sometimes be cured by taking her out in a buggy with a seat just large enough for two. Try it. Mr.

S. Watkins shipped two tons of grapes last Thursday. They were the Ives, his Concords not turning out well this season. Other growers have "hipped large quantities from here also. Now is the time, to lay.

in your winter's supply of coal and wood. Those of our friends who are disposed to provide us with the latter are at liberty to bring it in now while the roads are good. Understand? Thus far, the tobacco crop of this sectiou is the finest known for years. The receut heavy rains may damage the crop some, but in the new territory a large proportion has already been cured, with tine success. Mr.

J. II. Heal one of Nash couuty's successful tobacco farmers, from the Ililliardston section, was here yester day. 1 jke others from down that way, he gave encouraging reports, of the crops, tobacco, cotton, corn, Mr. J.

II. Beal of Nash was here yesterday with a load of new tobacco, the bottom leaves or primings, which he sold at very satisfactory prices. He got as high as $45 for the best grade, the lot averaging over $20 per huudred.

Fuss and feathers and health don't mix worth a cent. Take it cool and take things easy, and if the sensibilities of the ultra-aesthetic are shocked don't weep. Laugh and grow. fat. It is a duty the public owe, and one they should take a pride and interest in perforrning, to extend every real encouragement to their count paper.

Provided, always, the county paper merits your support and encouragement. We put the Gold Leaf upon its own merits only. Another member of the Vance Guards has been the recipient of regimental honors. Mr. Geo.

The inside of the Presbyterian church has been greatly beautified by the application of a new dress of paint and the putting down of a handsome new carpet.

For this work the ladies of the church especially deserve great credit, and to them the thanks of the entire congregation are due. There was a very pleasant gathering of young people at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Hawkins Monday night, the occasion being a reception given complimentary to Miss Irene Terrell of Louisburg.

The evening was spent very pleasantly in dancing, playing games, the Misses Hawkins making it specially agreeable for all their guests. Kefreshments were served. Seven months of the year 1890 are gone. Are you satisfied with what you have done during that time? Make good.use of the remaining five months and make a record of which you will not be ashamed when the present is numbered with the past. Have you done all in your power for the advance ment and prosperity of your town and those around you? If not, why not? Mr.

T. A. Davis has bought Capt. 11, L. Daingerfield's handsome residence in the Southern edge of town.

This is a very desirable place and Mr. Davis is to be congratulated upon being the owner of it. We do not know what Capt. Daingerfield's plans are but hear that he will buy property and locate in the country. His many friends would regret to lose so valuable a citizen of-the town.

Some people like to have their newspapers fight fcr temperance and good order, they think their ministers ought to work early and late for the cause of righteousness, they demand that the officers of the law shall stand up boldly against the forces of evil, but they must be excused from showing their hands. They have a bright conception of people's responsibilities but shirk their own. Wc made a slight mistake in our report of the population of Henderson, last week. It should have been put down as 4.25G instead of 4,201. It gets better.

This is a very good showing indeed, when we take into consideration the fact that the corporate limits have not been extended and in 1880 we had only 1,421. With a suburban population of 1,000 or more Henderson has considerably more than inhabitants. Mr. W. T.

Bowen has placed our office force under obligation to him for one of the largest and finest watermelons of the season. He tells us, though, that we must not judge his entire crop, tobacco, cottou, corn, by this as everything else at his place is much finer iu proportion. We are satisfied he has a spleudid crop knowing what sort of manager he is but if his melons are not a fair sample of the balance then we are enxious to go out and see it for ourself. We are pleased to hear of the very creditable manner in which our young friAd Fritz Cheek performed the duties of his oflice as Sergeant Major of the Third Regiment, to which position he was recently promoted, at the State encampment. But we expected nothing else.

He comes of military stock and with such an honored sire as the brave and gallant and chivalrous Gen. W. II. Cheek, it is but natural that the son should be every inch the soldier and officer that he is. The Oxford Public Ledger makes this kindly reference to the opening sale of hogshead tobacco at our storage warehouse last week The first sale of hogshead tobacco at the Henderson Bonded warehouse took place on Thursday last.

This is the first sale of this kind in the State, and we congratulate our neighbor upon the success thus achieved. From 1,800 to 2,000 packages of tobacco were represented by sample, and 271 hogsheads were sold. Hurrah for Henderson! Lewis Barnes wishes it understood, in that modest and most generally effective style of his, that he has gone North to buy new fall stock, and while he does not expect to send home exactly all the fine clothing, shoes, hats and gents' furnishing goods that he can find, he will certainly get his share. In the mean time stock on hand must be disposed of and if you want real bargains in this line go "to Barnes, Stain-back store for them. Dwelliay; Haas far Reat.

A. and M. II. Holt, principals, and endorsing the merits of this excellent school. Its enrollment during the scholastic year of '89-90, reached 267.

This places it in the lead among Southern schools. The reasons for this unprecedented prosperity are plain. It combines cheapness and thoroughness with splendid new buildings and furniture, while in beauty and healthfulness of location it is unsurpassed. The fall term will open August 13th. By square dealing, low prices, judicious advertising, and a great deal of push and vim, Barnes, Stainback have built up a large trade in clothing and gents' furnishing goods, and their sales this summer have surpassed all former records.

They are preparing for their new fall stock and to make room for the same will offer special inducements in everything in their line during the month of August. A big cut bus been made in prices.

Amerson, has opened a clothing store in Henderson, and he will be pleased receive calls from our Nash county readers when they visit that market. He is a clever, reliable, worthy young man, and will sell them good goods at rock bottom prices. -Wilson Mirror. Mr! Amerson has been living in Henderson for some time engaged as a salesman at Lehman's clothing store. During his stay among us he has impressed our poople as being a steady, reliable young man.

Headeraau Male Academy. It is with pleasure that we call attention to the advertisement of Henderson Male Academy, Prof. W. V. Savage, principal.

The fall term will open Monday, Sept. 1st. This is an excellent preparatory school, furnishing to boys and youug men an opportunity to acquire on very reasonable terms, thorough preparation for a collegiate course as well as a good business education itself to such as do not con template a more extended course of study elsewhere. It fills iu an admirable degree the need for higher and more advanced instruction than is attained in the average private or public school, and ought to receive a liberal patronage. It is a cheap, practical school and one which commends itself to those having sons to educate.

Prof. Savage is a fine scholar, a teacher of experience and a thorough, careful and painstaking instructor. Send your boys to him. When it comes to low prices on clothing and gents' furnishing goods, you will find Barnes, Stainback Co. in the forefront of all competitors.

They are offering special bargains this month to make room for fall stock. It iri very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and effects.
