Pecans in Vance.
Since the Goi.u Leaf's notice on
pecan culture some time ago we have
heard of other trees that are producing
successfully in Vance county. We are
informed that Mr. Jas. II. Gill has two
acres in ppcan trees, .ten years old, in
fine bearing. The nuts are well ma
tured and the yield satisfactory. Mr.
Plummer Rowland tells us that he has
eight acres in young trees in a thrifty
condition but not yet in bearing. It
appears from experiments made that
pecans can be grown successfully in
this part of the country.

Horse and Buggy Lost.
A fuuny little incident occurred a
few days ago to one of our prominent
Young" business men who usually
ties his horse to a certaiu post on the
street while attending to matters of
business about town. Ou this particu
lar occasion he left his horse at a shop
for shoeing, and after rushing around
for a while and dinner approaching, he
went to the usual place when lo! aud
behold, no horse was there. His mem
ory did not recover until he had bor
rowed a wheel aud rode all about town
in search of the missing rig. lie said:

absent-minded but I certainly felt right

Celebrated Their Fifty-fifth Anniver
sary. From the Warren ton Record we take
the following which will be read with
interest by the friends of the estimable
couple mentioned. And they will at
the same time extend hearty congratu
lations upou the auspicious event
spoken of. The liecord says:
Mr. and Mrs. II. 15. Hunter, Sr. cel
ebrated the fifty-fifth anniversary of
theic married life last Monday, the
16th inst. Most of their children were
with them. Rarely is it the case that
a couple lives together so long. The
Record wishes the most excellent
couple many years of united life yet.
Our estimable friend is about as
active and full of energy now as most
of our young men are. He says he is
truly thankful for the many blessings
God has vouchsafed to him. It is a
blessing to us younger men to have the
couueils and friendships of such men as
Mr. Hunter and we hope he will retain
his activity and energy to help us
fight the battles of life.
Children who are punv, pale weak, or
scrofulous ought to take Dr. Tierce's Gol
den Medical 'Discovery. That builds up
both their flesh and their strength. For
this and for purifying the blood there's
nothing in all medicine that can equal
the Discovery."
In recovering from or in convalescence
from pneumonia, fevers, or other wasting
diseases, it speedily and surely invigorates
and builds up the whole system. As an
appetizing; restorative tonic, it sets at
work all the processes of dieestiou and
nutrition, rouses every orgau into natu
ral action, and brings baek health and
strength.

A Mean Act.
Last Thursday morning when the
salesmen at Barnes' Clothing Store ap
peared at their place of business for
the purpose of opening up they discov
ered that the large sigu which usually
stood in front of the store was missing.
The sign consisted of a large cloth cov
ered frame marked "Suits from $1.50
to $25.00,'' etc. It was noticed that
the cloth had been completely stripped
from the frame, cut to pieces aud left
lying on the sidewalk. Search was
made for the frame which was found
later on a back street some distance
from the store.
It is hard to conceive the motives
that could prompt a person to be guilty
of such an outrageous and unwarranted
act. It is to be hoped that the party
who destroyed the sign (if he lives
here) is the only person in Henderson
mean enough to engage any such cow
ardly business.

was a small but thoroughly apprecia

renditions, solos, etc. The company
consists of Mme. Nannie Ilands-Kron-berg,

and Miss Mario Patterson, pianist,
each of whom are justly pronounced
artists of superior ability.
The singing of Mr. and Mrs. Krou
berg was well received and the audi
ence manitested us appreciation by
hearty applause.
Mr. Kennedy is a complete master of
the violin and one of the most skilled
performers on that favorite instrument
that ever appeared before a Henderson
audience. lie was encored repeatedly
aud each time responded with something
better.
Miss Patterson, the charming pian
ist of the company, demonstrated ad
mirable talent in the musical art. She
is a fine accompanist and her work
was exceedingly well rendered.

When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fail sick.
The signs of it are loss of flesh, paleness,
weakness, nervousness, etc. The repair
needed is food. You thiuk you eat
enough, and yet you feel that you wear
out more tissue, "energy, nerve-force,
than your food makes for you. The dif
ficulty is that you do not digest enough.
And this is so serious it is worth sitting
down seriously to think about. If jon
can't digest what you eat, take a few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect of it will be to increase your flesh
and make you feel stronger. You won't
fall sicK. Proof that it is in control of
your repair apparatus. It's easy enough
to test this for yourself. Take a few bot
tles of Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Holidays Drawing Near.
The holiday season will goon be
upon us, aud our business men who
hope to receive their share of the in
creased business which always comes
at that season of the year had better
commence to prepare for the same.
Prospects are that there will be a
larger holiday trade this year than
there has been for many years.
A business man who has something
to sell to this class of trade and will
not advertise that" fact ought to be
made to keep them and no doubt he
will.
If you have Christmas goods tell the
people through the press. If you want
trade invite it. If you want to carry
over your stock don't invite it. Don't
sit down hehind a store box and expect
people to come around hunting you up
to find out whether you have such, and
such an article. They will not do this,
but will go directly to the place that
advertises its goods and call for what
they want, knowing that their wants
will be supplied.
The Gold Leaf offers to every
business man who desires fo extend
such invitation an unequaled opportu
nity of so doing by using its columns.

Thanksviving.
This is our annual Thanksgiving
Day, an occasion that should be m&de
the most of. As the Suffolk llerald
truly says, while every day ought to
be one of thanksgiving for the blessings
we enjoy, still it is very meet and
proper to have a special day set apart
for observance as a day of national
thanksgiving. If there are those who
think they have nothing for which to
be thankful, let them read and ponder
the beautiful sentiments expressed by
the talented Southern poet, Frank L.
Stauton in the following lines:
For what are we thankful? For this:
For the breath and the sunlight of life;
For the love of the child, and the kiss
On the lips of the mother and wife.
For roses entwining,
For birds and for bloom;
. And hopes that are shining
Like stars in the gloom.
For what are we thankful? For this:
The strength and the patience of toil;
For even the joys hat we miss
The hope of the seed in the soil.
For souls that are whiter
From day unto day;
And lives that are brighter
From going God's way.
For what are we thankful? For all
The sunshine the shadow the song;
The blossoms may wither and fall,
But the world moves in music along!
For sim pie, sweet living.
("lis love that doth teach it.)
A heaven forgiving,
And faith that can reach it!
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he
is satisfied that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy during a severe
attack, saved his little boy's life. He is
in the drug business, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros, of that place and
they handle a great many patent medi
cines for throat and lung disease. He
had all these to choose from, and skilled
physicians ready to respond to his call,
but selected this remedy for use in his
own family at a time when his child's
life was in danger, because he knew it to
be superior to any other, and famous
the country over for its cures of croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine they handle, and that it
gives splendid satisfaction in all csaes.

Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the
tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor
is Electric Bitters. This medicine is pure
ly vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimu
lates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these
organs in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the appe
tite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

In a recent issue the Weldon Xeics
says :
We now have before us a copy of
the Weldon and Enfield Mercantile
Review," published once only aud
which is no more than a handbill. Y'et
we find in it write-ups" of a good
many business bouses. These houses
each paid a liberal price for these
sheets and what do they get in return?
A few copies which they must distrib
ute and there the matter ends. Now
here is the Roanoke Xeics, an estab
lished paper with a good circulation,
and laboring weekly to build up the
town. When your sons and daughters
get married wt give them an elaborate
8e':d oft", ami when you die we write
you a feeling obituary and all free,
gratis and for nothing. Y'et we ven
ture the assertion that the business
men would not have paid us the
amount they paid for this handbill, if
we had gone aroud town and offered to
do the work."
It is strange that the Weldon News
should have to make such a complaint.
It is Incomprehensible that business
men should act as those in Weldon have
done in patroniziug an advertising
scheme gotten up bv persons whose
only interest in the matter was what
money there was in it, still they will
do it, aud as a general thing seem
eager to throw all their patrouage away
from those who work the hardest for
for their benefit aud the benefit of the
community at large. We have had
men to whom we had given hundreds
of dollars worth of free advertising, and
benefitted iu various other ways, send
their work ofl" to some outside "jack-
leg who offered to do them a poor job
a few cents lower than we would do
them a good one for.
Well, it's all in a lifetime, and it is
6ome comfort to kuow that other men
who have proved of benefit to their
community get the same dose. Still it
is not business, to say the least of it,
and the short-sighted individuals who
practice it will find that out to their
sorrow some day. Rocky Mount --lr-

A philosopher thinks that a 5 cent

Few nations have raised shaving to
the dignity of a religious ceremony. Iu
tO Koran time is no mention of shav
ing at all, yet the Mohammedans shave
their heads in the same manner as the
Hindoos.
The barbers of India are so deft and
light of touch that they can shave a
man without awakening him.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle of common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of tlie kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort iu the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain id passing
it or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleas
ant necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Koot is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a med
icine you should have tlie best. Sold by
druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
