The Steadfast Shoe.

1t would be an act of supereroga-
ton to call attention to the hand
some half-page advertisement OF the
Steadfast shoe which adorns the
front page OF the GOLD LEAF this
week That will attract attention
TO itself The reader though near
blind could not help seeing that and
the shoe wearing man though welded
to his ideals i'll favorite footwear will
pause and take notice Ii is to the
merits OF the article advertised and
not the advertisement itself for
which we would claim attention.
The Steadfast shoe is a strictly high
grade shoe for gentlemen. Hand

so-called high grade shoes are cotton
fitted and machine-lasted. In Stead
fast shoes at $500 aud 5000 YOU
get the same high quality that you
would expect to find in made-to-
order footwear selling at $1,000 and

Letter to ]. r. Carter,
Henderson. ". &.

Dear Sir: If you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd have
pretty good business. wouldn't you?
We have just such a business as that
in paint; gallon goes further than any
other gallon of paint in the country
that's bread at less cost by the day;
but the difference isn't so small as it is
in bread. And job wears ionger-that's
bread at less cost by the year. People
hate to paint; it costs money to paint;
and they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
If your bread is better than anybody
else's, and costs less too, you've got a
good trade; for people do like good bread;
and people like money. 1t doesn't take
long to find out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better than any
body -else's bread for half the usual price
for a breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter.
Count by the day, week, month, year,
lifetime. Devoe is the bread. We hope
yours is as good.
Yours truly
"a F W DEVOE & co.
P. S.-The Allen-Moss Hardware Com
pany sell our paint.

Resolution of Respect.

Again the Reaper has thrust his sickle
and gathered our oldest Patriarch. and
we must continue our journey without
his counsel and experience. The Christ
mas festivities must be held and we will
not have his recitation, the picnic will
not be enlivened by his iovial Jest and
the daily work will have to be done
without the aid of his experienced coun-
sci. Yet we are glad that we have had
him thus far, and we the Methodist Prot
estant Sunday school, do ResOIre:-
First:-That in the death of Brother
Richard Marston we have suffered the
loss OF our Oldest exemplar our most
venerable friend.
SecOnd:-That we will cherish tn e
memory of his poetic nature and his love
for childhood.
Third:-That we tender our sympathy
and tenderest ministrations to his loved
ones and strive with them to reach the
higher heights of Faith where he dweit
SO long
Fourth:-That a copy of these resolu.
lions be spread upon the Record Book
that copy be sent to his family and a
copy furnished the GOLD LEAF for publ
cation.
Respectfully submitted.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infampd condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have a rumhling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
is restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamPd condition OF the mucous sur
