these we do not recall any other
changes among business firms. Mr..

Parham Brothers Supply Co., goes
with the Burroughs-C Coleman Co., and
Mr.. st. Clair Fleming leaves the same
firm to return to the country.

BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL.


With the compliments OF NJ. {. H.
Gattis, travelling passenger agent,
the GOLD LEAF is in receipt of a
handsome four-piece pictorial and
historical calendar issued by the
passenger department of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway. The illus
trations represent four important
epochs in the history of the United
States:
The discovery of Florida by the
Spanish, Easter Sunday, 1912.
Ponce de Leoa, landing near what is
now st. Augustine, named the land
''Pascua Florida" (Flowery Easter. }
The Battle of Hobkirk's Hill, April
20, 1871. The Americans under
Greene were surprised by the British
commanded by Brandon. Although
Greene was compelled to retreat, it
was a victory without gain to the
British, similar to the one at Guilford
Court House, of which Fox said in
the House OF Commons, "Another
such victory would ruin the British. !"
During the retreat Gen. Washington
turned upon the pursuers, made a
gallant charge and chased them, al
lowing Greene to save all his artillery.
Battle of the Monitor and Merri-
mae, in Hampton Roads, March 8,
1861. The Merrimac is attempting
to ram the Monitor, the latter keep
ing between her and the Minnesota.

The Illustrations are historically
correct, and a copy of the calendar

the principal lines in the system with

OVER IN RICHMOND.


The editor spent a few days very
pleasantly in Richmond last week.
To US it is always a pleasure to visit
the capital city OF the Old Dominion.
Full OF historic interest there is no
place where the time may be spent
more pleasantly or profitablv. We
were the guest OF our friend Mr.. NV.
Briggs, a Tar Heel-Virginian, true
son of the one and loyal citizen of the
other State, and with him we visited
many points and places ofinterest in
and about the city. OF course we at
tended Justice Johns" court. That
is one of the institutions OF Richmond
and to miss one of the morning
seances held in the police court of the
City Hall building by the Honorable
John ]. Crutchfeld, police justice, is
to. miss treat. Justice Crutchfield
is a philosopher, a Judge of human
nature and dispenser of justice ac-
cording to the ''statoots" made and
provided-by himself if he does not
find the law to fit the case. His rul-
ings are just and humane-harsh and
severe only when such measures are
necessary for the good of society
and the maintenance of law and Or
ders-hut woe unto the bad Niger"
Or the >habitual violator of the law
who comes before him.
We are indebted to Bailiff Gibbons
amaimed Confederate veteran, polite,
dignified and gentlemanly in bearing,
and cOnsiderate always of strangers
visiting the city, for courtesies shown.
We called to pay our respects to
Gov. Montague but found him alb
sent. He was away at Front Royal
attending the funeral of a friend
Sorry to have missed his genial pres
.ence and cordial handclasp but the
pleasure of meeting Secretary Bigger,
clever and good looking, was com
,pensation for the disappointment
felt at not seeing the Governor Mr..
Bigger is a son of the late Capt. John
Bell Bigger, for many years clerk of
the House OF Delegates, and one of
the best any State ever had.
A call was made also at the edito-
rial rooms of the tch,
where we found our good friends W. s.
Copeland and Frank S. Woodson,
busy as usual making one of the best
papers in the South. There are not,
two better newspaper men or finer
fellows anywhere than Copeland and
Woodson and Virginia journalism is
fortunate to have them at the head
OF the capital city's leading paper.
Both are North Carolinians-as so
many of Richmond's foremost and
successful business men are-and it is
gratifying to know that their ability
and versatile talents are fittingly rec
Ognized in the State of their adop-
ton.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
o he way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
8 itutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition OF the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition OF the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness teaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
