Buy Leather Shoes at F. S.
Wilson'S Store.

The labor is just as great and costs as much
to make shoe with paper insoles, moulded coun-
ter, and leather shavings, or other worthless inn
tations OF leather as that required to make an
honest shoe of LEATHER. The only difference
In cost is the material, and the cost of making
working in, and hiding these worse than useless
limitations of leather is wasted A cost the
wearer must pay for and receive no extra value.
Why this wasted money? Why buy shoes made
of material never intended for foot wear and
which is an actual tetriment? We have decided
not to sell such shoes. If you prefer such, be-
cause they little cheader the difference be-
tween the price of leatherh and tie price of paper)
we advise you not ito buy of us. The extra
leather saved by substituting paper would cost
from twenty-five to fifty cents a pair of Shoes
and IT any one thinks it economy to save in this
way ne will be obliged to go elsewhere Sew
eral months ago decided to handle honest shoes
made from leather, We wrote to several man.
ufactuers of shoes stating plainly the kind of shoes
we wanted. We finally made contract with
Hamilton Brown Shoe Co. in which they agree
not to send me shoe at any price in which there
had been used an imitation of leather shall
hold them to strict compliance with this contract
aspuek my customers to help me by promptly re-
porting to me any evasion whatever. Now we
do no4 warrant the leather to wear any particular
I time, nor do we warrant patent leather not to
s crack TO crack or scale. We do not warrant
shods to not wear out or burn up if put into the
fire. We do not guarantee vsatisfaction
Why? Because some persons are much harder
on shoes than others. Because patient leather
are not made for hard scuff work. Because
some people could not be satisfied if they were
paid for being dissatisfied. What then is our
guaranty? No shoe bought from us bearing
the name Hamilton-Brown Shod Co, has any i'm
tations of leather used instead of leather in it.
We will pay dollar per pound, for all the paper
vDsoly Of ooolo IL
We have them in every size for men, women

anty on ALL You will find our goods almost as
low in price the cheap, shoddy stuff found near

who buy through -iobbers. They are doing the
best they can. They will "catch on" later.

EDWIN D. HAYS DEAD.

h EDWIN u. hAlS DEAD.
The following message from
phoenix, Arizona, was received
by the editor of the Chronicle
last week:
Oct, 2, 1907.
'R. E. Hays,
Grantsville, w. Va.
Eddie died this morning on his
way to Phoenix. Will bury him
lat McCabe. Will write particu.
lars. Wire our brothers and
sisters.
r. L HAYS"
While we knew that the ma
ture of his ailment was treacher.
ous, yet just at this time we
were more hopeful than we he'd
:been for years because he had
just made the journey from here
to McCabe. Arizona. and stood il
finely, stating that he was feel
ling much better and that he
thought he was getting we'll.
Prior to his departure from
this place he stated that he
would go to Phoenix as soon as
he felt able, and visit in the old
capital Of Arizona. We presume
he was on this pleasure trip
when death came to him.
Edwin had not yet grown into
manhood when the dread and
thrice accursed disease, consump-
ton, began its ravages on his
System. Everything that loving
hearts could think of, or that
medical science could prescribe,
WAS done for him, and for near
|ly three years he had battled
|manfully for his life, and just
when we had the greatest hopes
|of overcoming it, this disease
|got in its death blow and took
him from us in almost the
!!twinkling Of an eye.
His was a noble life. He was
Ian exception to the men of his
race in that he never acquired a
bad habit. He was as clean
and pure as it was possible for a
man to be. Manly, high minded
and true he was the favorite of
his family and the pride of his
parents, and his death leaves a
void in our hearts that can never
he filled.
One evening when Eddie felt
blue he complained that 80 few
would care if he was to 90, and
later he picked up a magazine
and read aloud to me these lines
from the pen of Will Hays, the
poet;
|"I'll lift mine eyes to heav'n above.
God cares.
He pitieth me---for He is love-
He cares.
His mercy and his love I'll crave,
He will forgive, my soul He'll save.
/ don't fear death. hell nor the grave,
God cares"
And then We felt that all was
well with him.
He has launche ed his boat and got
in it alone,
And sailed to that beautiful ciime.
Where angels are waiting to well
come him home.
On the banks of the river of Time
He will land by himself in Eterni-
TVS port,
Then put the boat out on the shore
Aud quietly walk through the beau
tful gates,
And never como back any more. ]
We trust that some angel will show
him the way
That leads to the great throne Of
Grace,
Where God IN His mercy will give
him seat,
And smile on his beautiful face.
1t ever man was true. honest and
kind,
We chink it was our own Edwin.
And il God has o home aud crown
for good men.
