Success of the Grand Rapids Show
Case Company.

The following item from the News
and Observer will be of local interest
to GOLD LEAF readers hereabouts
who know the young gentlemen al
luded to, and their growing success
we are sure will give pleasure to their
friends:
In a recent issue of the Portland,
(Oregon) Telegram, there is an article
of much interest concerning Messrs.
Young and Williams, who are both
North Carolinians-Mr. S. D. Young,
being from Henderson, and Mr. W.
K. Williams, from Warrenton. Six
years ago they went to Grand Rapids,
Mich, where they, together with Mr..
Harry Williams-also from Warren
ton-organized the Grand Rapids
Show Case Company.
Year Dy year their business has
grown and now they have the largest
show case works in the world, selling
their goods all over North America.
The news that they are increasing
their business and reaching out for
the South American and Oriental
trade will be hailed with delight by
their many friends in this State who
are glad of their success. The bust
ness they are doing is big one,
they are making improvements right
along and their success is only an
other proof that North Carolinians
make good" wherever they go. In
Portland they have consolidated
with their business the Luke Manufac-
turing Company, and the combined
capital is almost q million dollars.

Mrs. Lewis n Watson died ut her
home near Axtell. Warren county,
at half past four o'clock Saturday
morning. She had been sick only d
few days and although doctor had
been called in her condition was not
thought to be serious and a fatal ter
mination OF her illness was wholly un-
expected. Calling for glass of milk
which was handed to her by tile
venerable and devoted husband who
had faithfully ministered unto her in
sickness and in health for nearly fifty
years, she drank it with apparent
relish and expressed herself IL feeling
better. A short while thereafter She
complained of a suffocating feeling
and expired almost suddenly. The end
was quiet, without a struggle or
seeming pain. Conscious to the last
moment, calm and peaceful as her life
had been so it closed, without linger-
ing and suffering and being a helpless
charge to others as she had often ex-
pressed a wish to die.
Mrs. Watson was ~ years old last
May Had she lived until the 14th
Of October she and Mr.. Watson
would have been married so years.
Mrs. Watson was before her marriage
Miss Anna Creighton of Virginia. a
great belle and beauty in her young
womanhood, and in all the aturi-
butes that adorn wifehood, mother
hood and noble womanhOOd she grew
lOyelier with increasing years. Mrss
Watson was one of the best women
we ever knew. For twenty-five years
it had been our privilege to know
and love her and we sincerely sorrow
with those who mourn her death
She leaves a husband and seven chill
dren, three daughters and four SONS,
all grown, beside a large number
of more distant relatives. The
body was buried in the cemetery
at WarrentOn at 4 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Rev. H. Aired conduct
ed the service assisted by Rev T. j.
Taylor. D. D. The pall-bearers were
Messrs. c. c. Hunter, T. G. Plummer,
J. \. Dowtin. X. b. Boyd. W. e.
Rogers, John W. Allen. Mr.. Clar-
ence Allen of WarrentOn, was the
undertaken There was large at
tendance attesting the wide pOpu-
larity and affectionate esteem in
which this good woman was held
in the community in which she had
lived so long
1t was Mrs Watson's wish often
expressed that there should be no
flowers sent and no funeral sermon
be preached for her. All that she
wished was the simple burial service
at the grave holding that ones life
should speak for itself rather than
spoken words which cannot change
the record after LIES fitful fever is
ended.

For burns and scalds there is moth
ing more soothing than the white
OF an egg, which may be poured over
the wound, says an exchange. 1t is
softer as varnish for a burn than
collodion, and being always at hand,
can be applied Immediately. 1t is
the contact with the air which gives
the extreme discomfort experienced
from ordinary accidents of the kind,
and anything which excludes the air
and prevents inflammation is the best
thing to be at once applied.
Ii one is convenient to a drug
store where it can be quickly pro-
cured we would recommend phenol
sOdique as the finest remedy fO-
burns and scalds that we have ever
seen used Pour a little on the in
lured parts and saturate piece of
linen and bandage to exclude the air.
This gives almost instant relief.
Where phenol sodique cannot be had
the white of an egg may be used.

Improve the Town Property.

We are all interested in the prosperity
OF our town. We can contribute to it
materially, and give it a far more pros
porous look at the same time.
Perhaps the public property needs a
good coat of paint
Devoe will supply that coat with two
thirds of the number of gallons required
of any other. Devoe, will last twice as
long as any other. Devoe is all paint
and full-measure. DevOe is the strong
est paint known. Devoe will take care
of the property, in the long run, for half
the money required by any other.
The reason is stated above: Devoe is
all paint and full-measure: the strongest
paint known.
E. D. Jewell, Cory, Pa, painted his
houses years ago with a mixed paint;
took IA gallons. Last spring he repaint-
ed with Devoe; bought Il gallons and
had 4 left. Saved $15 to 500, as paint
ing costs two or three times as much as
the paint.

A Hint to Home Merchants.

Under this heading one who has
studied the question says:
Most farmers would rather trade with
their local merchants than send off for
goods if they can get what they want
and at something near the same price.
but the business of the mail order
houses is growing and will continue to
grow until the local merchants wake up
to the fact that they must keep in stock
what the people want and sell at price
that will not exceed that of the mail
order house with the freight added.
Merchants who make bid for bust
ness by keeping the right kind of stock
and letting the people know it through
the advertising columns of the local
paper are reasonably sure of prosperity.

"The Girl FIR ON Missouri. !"

OF the attraction which is to be
presented at the Grand Theatre next
Wednesday night, a writer says this:
There is no question that 'The
Girl from Missouri is one OF the most
beautiful plays of the year. It's
scenes are symphonies OF color. and
it's electric effects superb. All the
characters are from living men and
women who the author, Granville F.
Sturgis, has met and loved during
his sojourns in the west. The play is
treated with a delicacy and SYM
pathy only possible when one writes
OF the people and the section ofcoun-
try nearest and dearest to the heart.
To.see "The Girl from Missouri is as
refreshing as a breath Of air from the
pine-clad hills of home.

Cooking. Exhibition.
Demonstration Of the Great
Majestic Malleable and Char
coal Iron Range, to be made
at the Watkins Hardware
Company's Store Next Week
The Public Invited.

Beginning next Monday. Oct. 9TH.
the Watkins Hardware Company
will have a cooking exhibition at
their store for one week to demon
strate the merits of the great Ma
jestic Malleable and Charcoal Iron
ranges, for which they are exclusive
selling agents in this territory. With
each Majestic range sold during this
cooking exhibition $3.50 worth OF
handsome kitchen ware will be given
absolutely free. And this price
$7.50-is not added to the cost of
the stove. either The range will be
sold at the regular price and you
will get the ware free-for this
one week only. After next week.
while the cooking exhibition is going
on. if you buy a Majestic range you
will have to pay the regular price for
this ware in addition if you get it.
So if you intend to buy range any
time in the near future it will be to
your interest to buy it next week,
and you cannot buy a better one
than the Majestic. Made of mallea-
BILE and charcoal iron, solidly and
heavily built of the best materials,
they will last practically II life time.
1t is a model range, beautiful in APP
pearance, simple in construction,
convenient in it's arrangements. 1t
is easily operated, has large oven,
bakes and roasts perfectly, requiring
a smaller amount of fuel for the
amount of cooking it will do. besides
heating the water for kitchen and
bath room purposes, giving the
greatest satisfaction at all points.
Majestic ranges will last practically
life time. Made in sections the va
rious parts can be easily replaced
whenever needed. and small out
lay for repairs will keep it as good as
new and make it last almost indefi-
nitely.
There are a great many Majestic
ranges in use hereabouts and uni
versal chorus Of praise and satisfac-
ton goes upin favor of them. When
properly put up there can possibly
be no cause for complaint. Put them
up with good fue and they will do
more work with less fuel than any
other range, is the claim made by the
manufacturers, who add it is the use
not the abuse of their goods which is
guaranteed.
One who has used Il Majestic range
for a number Of years says sit has
proven satisfactory in every way.
The water heater is the best | know
OF, and the baking qualities unsur-
passed. My experience with the Ma
lestic is enough to fully endorse the
claims of the manufacturers for
strength and durability over any
thing made
FOley's Orino Laxative is "a new remedy.
