Gentry Show Was Good.

Gentry Brothers dog and pony
show gave two performances here
Monday and pleased their patrons
The attendance was perhaps under
the average, the usual crowd not
coming in from the country, owing
to the busy season with the farmers.
The performances was altogether
characteristic of Gentrys' Show and
was enjoyed by old and young alike.
In addition to the animal actors
there were other features, a troupe of
japanese acrobats, rope walkers and
jugglers, and a team of gymnasts
whose work on:the horizontal bars
was especially fine.
The performance was clean in
character, educational in nature and
was thoroughly enjoyed by those
who witnessed it,

Big Shipment Of Tobacco to Japan.

On last Friday, Aug. 9th, the ].
P. Taylor Company made a ship
ment OF 25 car loads of tobacco to
Japan. This shipment goes via Sea-
board Air Line Railway across the
continent to Seattle thence to the
"Flowery Kingdom"
This tobacco goes to the Imperial
Government OF Japan and is but one
of a series of shipments to follow.
The J. P. Taylor Company are rep
resentatives OF the japanese govern
ment in this section. 1t speaks
well for the excellent equipment and
good facilities for handling tobacco
that this firm can handle such an
immense order. This tobacco was
all purchased on the Henderson
market and owing to having this
business they are enabled to pay the
highest prices.

Indigestion, Nervousness,
Stomach Trouble.
1t Is The Best Medicine
Compounded In This
World.

For more than two years. l was q
severe sufferer from chronice dysentery,
brought on by acute Indigestion. Almost
daily | had to take something for re-
lief. 1t also brought on catarrhal head
ache. from which | suffered daily, and
which debilitated me to such an extent
would have to lie down three or four
hours each day, and it made the flesh OF
my face extremely sore and sensitive to
the touch. My general health was great
ly impaired, OF course, and Iawas weak
and nervous. One day was at my son g
house, and after dinner was taken, as
usual, with one of those terrific catarrhal
headaches. My daughter-in-law had
been giving Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy to
her little boy for eczema, and it had
cured him. She suggested that / try it,
as bottle was then on the mantel l
did so, and the very first dose took re-
ieved that headache. l continued it
that night and the next morning, and
even on the second day after commenced
it did not have to lie down at all, for
the first time in several weeks.
l then boughta dozen bottles aud took
nineteen bottles before / stopped. My
condition was brought on by malarial
fever, which / had contracted in Texas
fifteen years ago, and from the effects oil
which l have been suffering ever since.
Anyone to see me now, and before
commenced taking Mrs. Joe PERSON.
Remedy, would hardly know me for the
same person. For the first time in fifteen
years | AM WE'LL, and my health has
been restored. This is my opinion, sum
med up, of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.
1T IS THE BEST MEDICINE COM
POUNDED IN THIS WORLD.
Only stick to it long enough to eradi
cate the trouble from the blood, it will
cure, and is perfectly harmless in every
respect. For fifteen years, it is the first
thing that have ever found that coun.
teracted that malarial trouble contracted
in Texas

Successful Revival Meeting
Kittrell.
To The GOLD LEAF:

To The GOLD LEAF:
Rev 81. T. Stevens has just closed a
great meeting in Kittrell. For two
weeks he preached twice a day, at 4 2.
NJ. and 8 P. NJ At first the people
seemed to come for different motives,
but as the services progressed all came
because of intense interest and convic-
ton.
AS there is no Baptist church there, a
large tent was secured from the Flat
River Association and the services were
held in this. Everyone seemed to con-
slider it as his meeting. 1t was not
thought OF as Baptist meeting at all.
The Baptist people of kittrell before
the revival had gone into a temporary
organization as a church. There were
only about twenty. At the close OF the
meeting there were thirty-nine enrolled
and six or seven to follow next Sunday.
Six were baptized and six more to be;
also several of the converted will join
the Methodist church there.
To say the least, the town as a whole
has been greatly blessed and new cords
of Christian love are binding the people
closer together.

Letter to T. N. Pittman.
Henderson, N. {.

Henderson, N. e.
Dear Sir: Here's a tale with a point
to it. Florida is the hardest state in the
Union for paint.
Gilmore & Davis Co., Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint can
do in their climate; they've been paint
ing for 35 years, Devoe ten years; and
they say Devoe wears 10 years-their
words are: buildings we painted Devoe
10 years ago are in good condition Of
paint today"
They also say lead-and-oil wears only
one year there; Devoe 10 yearsl
Ten years is along lifetime for paint in
Florida; longer than 20 in Maine. We
don't dare say that either is true as a
general fact in those States; but there are
such instances.
If we should call the cost of Devoe in
Florida half of the usual cost of paint, it
would be too much; we suppose it's
about third; there is so much trash
there-the costliest paint is the worst,
and the worst is the costliest every where
Yours truly,
SO F. ". DEVOE eco.

RENO, April 26.-Within the next
few days Henry Mccormack, son OF
wealthy hotel man of this city, and
Leo Shannon, both less than Is years
OF age, will launch a new aeroplane
and will either be injured or have
their names added to the list of per-
sons who have become famous by
solving the problem of aerial naviga-
ton.
These boys have for months been
working on an aerOplane similar in
many ways to the Wilbur Wright ma
chine, and they feel confident that
they will be able to fly with it. They
have finished the machine and as soon
as day appears without any win1
they will make their first real test.
Tie machine will have a lifting ca
pacity of more than 200 pounds, ex-
elusive of the engine, and will be con-
trOlied by means of a rear rudder.
The boys declare that they have test
ed the aeroplane by means of mini
atures and that they know it will lift
a considerable weight.

ty Jail here for a time necessary to
determine the authority of the court
to suspend execution of Judgement in

The conviction of these two boys
has brought forth a controversy as
to the application of the new juvenile
court law. An application to have
tle case of Bremen transferred to that
court was denied by Judge Orr Sat
urday and he passed sentence withou:
any further delay.
District Attorney WOodburn, after
thoroughly investigating the matter
declared that the Juvenile court had
no jurisdiction over males over /.
