A Card From MIR. johnson.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Will you allow
me through the columns of your paper
to express my grateful appreciation of
the kind words of the Henderson pas
tors, in the resolutions published in a
recent issue OF the GOLD LEAF, relative
to my change of work from Henderson
to Greensboro. This kindly expression
from brethren in the ministry, whom l
have learned to love, is to me very
pleasing climax to associations so pleas
ant in every way and so profitable, with
absolutely nothing to mar the pleas
ant fellowship or to leave an unpleasant
memory. Again let me thank these dear
brethren for all their kindness, which
has along been expressing itself in deed
and now in word; and may the God of
US all make me worthy of such kindly
treatment and kindly expressions; and
may He use them and me to advance
His cause, to glorify Him, and to help
humanity.
Very sincerely yours.
T. NJ. JOHNSON.

The lovely child's head in an embossed
gold frame, surrounded by sprays of

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the
tired out nervous system to a healthy yigor
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 aud nerve tonic. Try it,.
