There was a hush over the church

by the stifed sob of a woman. Men
who spent six days of the week in a

their eyes; a soprano in the choir

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage OF catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold" 1t
may be in the head, nose throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
to cause chill and considerable fever. or
it may be 50 slight as to not hinder person
from his usual business. In perhaps
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh. and hence
1t is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers

Poor Service.

There is great deal of dis
satisfaction over the service be-
ing rendered by the Cumberland
Telephone Company, which in
the main seems to be caused by
the.po equipment placed here.
The Company advertises first
class service, it charges for first
class service, and certainly we
have. a right to expect first class
service. There is no disposition
on the part Of The Advertiser to
complain unnecessarily, but in
the presence instance there are
plenty Of grounds for complaint,
and we merely call attention to
the poor service here with the
hope that the Company will
promptly take the matter up and
give Lafayette as good service as
is given anywhere.

At the Courthouse Saturday
Night ht-Prof. J. B. AsweIl
and DIR. c. c. Kramer, the
Speakers of the Evening.
Large and Enthusiastic Audience Present,
Prof. Aswell Captures the Entire
Audience With His Spler did
Talk on Education

Notwithstanding tn coolness
Of the evening the c1urt house
was filled to its utm 5.st capacity
Saturday night on the occasion
Of the grand ed lcational rally
in honor of Prof j. B. Aswell,
candidate for Syate Superinten-
dent Of Education. The audience
was a representative one from
all parts Of the parish, and
throughout the meeting testified
intense interest in the subject.
Many ladies were present, and
by their close attention showed
their sympathy with and approx
al Of the object of the meeting.
Quite number Of visitors from
neighboring towns were among
the audience.
At few minutes after eight
o'clock DR.. d. l.. Stephens called
the meeting to order and re-
quested Judge Julian Mouton to
act as chairman He accepted
and in brief, but happy manner,
explained the purpose Of the
meeting, paying a high tribute
to Prof. AsWel and the cause he
represents. At the close of
Judge Mouton's remarks, which
were cheered again and again,
children from the Primary
school sang with sweet voices
the beautiful hymn, America,
which also evoked great applause.
Judge Mouton then introduced
Rev. Dr.C. c. Kramer, who began
by stating that he never took
part in political meetings, but
that whenever the cause Of edu-
cation or any other which would
contribute to the happiness and
welfare Of mankind needed his
aid, or he could lend it assistance,
he was ever ready to take an
active part. Ina few well chosen
words he spoke of education, it's
value to people and it's up-lift-
ing force, and then speaking at
length of Prof. Aswell and his
candidacy, uttered the following
striking and true words: He is
one called from the people by
the people to do the people a
potential service. In this sen
tence is summed up the man and
the hour. Rev. DR.. Kramer in
sklllful manner showed how our
nation through it's 127 years of
existence has taken thousands
upon thousands Of immigrants of
various nationalities within it's
borders and yet is a united and
strong nation in great contrast
to AustroHungary with it's
various tongues and divided pur,
pose. The magic that had
wrought so wondrously in Anne
RIGA is the spirit of freedom,
which is the beautiful offspring
Of education. DR.. Kramer held
the attention Of his audience
throughout and was frequently
heartily applauded. Before clos
ing he stated that the reason he
supported Prof. Aswell for office
was, Because of all citizens, he
is best equipped for the office, I,

and the conception of this truth
made him willing to lay aside his
pleasant home life, the dear
association of the boys and girls
of the Ruston Industrial Insti-
tute, and takeup the heavy duties
of the Office of State Superin-
tendent, that he might aid IN
placing the means of intelligence
into the hands of every boy and
girl. He seeks no personal gain,
no notoriety, 30 material wealth.:
he simply wants to do service
for the children Of Louisiana
this is why he desires the office.
In the brief extracts we have
given of Prof. AswelI's speech
we have hardly done justice to
the splendid talk he gave. 1t
merely indicates the drift Of his
remarks. He made no campaign
speech, it. was magnificent plea
for education, and he brought
himself in only to ask that he
might do his part in the noble
cause. His talk was like the
man, strong, forceful and modest.
At the close Of his speech chill
dren from the High School, sang
that inspiring song for every
Southern heart, Dixie, which
closed the program. Before leav-
ing, the audience, which was COM
pletely captured by Prof. As
well, waited to shake hands with
him.

the early morning train in order
to be at his post of duty Monday

Thursday afternoon, Oct. %,
came as a great shock to the
entire community. While it
was known that Mrs. Mouton
was i'll, none suspected anything
of a serious nature. Mrs. Mou-
ton, was the daughter Of the late
Judge Eraste Mouton, and was a
lady of many estimable qualities,
possessing in high degree
those charming attributes that
won for her the warm and last
ing regard of a wide circle of
friends. In her home life she
was a devoted wife and mother.
: She was devout member of the
Catholic church, and lived a true
christian life, full Of kind and
charitable deeds.
Her husband, three children,
her mother and several brothers
and sisters survive her. Funeral
services were held in ST. Johns

The Weldon Fair.

The Weldon Fair this year was the
best in years-since it was revived by
Mai. Emry. The exhibits were better
than usual and the attendance much
greater. Thursday the crowd was
estimated at five to six thousand.
And the crowds make the fair always.
The exhibition however poor, the
races. the side shows and various
other amusements are the excuse but
the crowd is the real attraction after
all. Where one may meet with friends
and acquaintance of former years
whom they could not see in any
other way they delight to so. And
nowhere else is this pleasure afforded
so generously to thousands of people
throughout Eastern North Carolina
and Tidewater Virginia as at the
Weldon fair.
The weather was ideal and every
body seemed to have good time.
There were more pretty women and
gallant men, all good humored and
full OF the spirit OF the occasion than
we have seen on the same grounds
since days long ago when the Weldon
fair was noted as by odds the best in
the State.
And Maj. Emry says he is going to
make it SO again if money and effort
expended in that direction will avail
anything.

Carried OFF the Honors.

The Henderson Public Schools car
ried Off the honors at the State Fair,
winning four blue ribbons. A very
creditable exhibit was made of the
work OF the pupils, consisting OF
drawings, pictures, penmanslip, bas-
ket work, etc, which was much ad-
mired and favorably commented on
by those who saw it. For the ar
rangement and display of the work
credit is due Superintendent Alder
man, under whose direction the ex-
hibit was made. AS whole, the Hen
derson Public Schools won first prize
for the best and most creditable eX-
hibit of any public school in North
Carolina, and individual prizes were
also awarded as follows: Map of
Vance county, Emma Linnell; map
of the United States, Mabel Hight;
writing, Johnny Beckham.
The exhibit was very creditable in
deed, and was the subject Of much
favorable comment. The GOLD LEAF
has always been proud of the Hen
derson Public Schools, and has extra
cause to swell its bosom with pride
since witnessing the showing made
by Prof. Alderman and his pupils at
the State Fair.

Death of Worthy CoIored Woman.

In common with his many friends,
white as we'll as colored, the GOLD
LEAF sympathizes with Hobson JET
freys, colored, in the death of his
wife, Pattie Merriman, which occurred
October 18th. She had been sick for
four years-ever since she went to
Boston, the climate not agreeing with
her-and her death was not altogeth-
er unexpected. Deceased was wor-
thy and respectable woman, and was
highly esteemed by the white people
who knew her, as well as the members
OF her own race. She had for num-
Der of years been a consistent mem
Der OF the First Baptist church, and
belonged also to the Knights of Cid
con, Lodge No. %, and was buried
with the hOnOrs of that order.
A husband and one son, the latter
named in honor of the late William
II. Walker, to whom the father was
greatly devoted, survive her. The
funeral was conducted from the First
Baptist church by Rev R. l. Walden,
the pastor, and was attended by a
large concourse of Borrowing and
sympathizing relatives and friends.

may be said of the whole show. The
singing and dancing was good and
greatly enjoyed. While there were no

splendid effect and elected warm APP

"Pop" Carr, the leading comedian,
is q whole team of himself. A greater
fun maker and mirth provoker has
not been seen on this stage. He kept
the audience in a continuous roar Of
laughter, while Jimmy Castle was a

he was inimitable. Gov" Bowen
is a tip top comedian, but it is as a
dancer that heexcels. The DeArvilles,
French pantomime and musical ar
fists, were exceedingly clever and
their act was greatly enjoyed.
But why ennumerate when all were

act nor an inferior actor in the whole

The SauteIIe Show.

The performance of the Sautelle
Show was about up to expectations.
1t was not claimed for it that it was
the "biggest show on earth," but
that it was a first-class amusement
organization, clean-cut, worth the
price of admission charged. There
was not single feature act nor was
any part of the performance out OF
the ordinary, but it was all good of
its kind. Barring the 63 horse act
about everything was presented that
was advertised. The parade was very
good and a great crowd witnessed it.
The attendance both in the afternoon
and at night was smaller than usual
but all seemed to enjoy the perform
ance fully.
We found the management exceed
ingly clever and courteous. Press
agent j. c. Banks and Mr.. Harry
Allen, legal adviser, are the right
men in the right place and make
friends for themselves and the show
wherever they go. Mr.. Allen is no
stranger in these parts, having WIS.,
