featuro. A largo numlior of tho
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gault wcro
in attendance.
A very pleasant program was given.
The opening nnuiber was a male
quartet by Messrs. Cramer, Kinney,
Cramer and Voorhies. Mrs. Gault
followed with a solo beautifully ren
dered, tho appreciation of which was
quickened by tho thought that it was
among the last which the people of this
city will bo privileged to hear from
this popular singer for some timo to
come. Brief, but earnest and impres
sive addresses wore given by R. L.
Coe, Rev. W. G. Council and H. C.

male quartet, a beautiful arrangement
of "Suwanen River."

program, ou tho suggestion of Rev.
W. G.Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Gault re
plied to the addresses, expressing ear
nestly their appreciation of tho cor
dial feeling toward them which was
so manifest by their friends.
Refreshments of orange punch and
wafers wero Borvod and tho remainder
of tho eveuiug was pleasantly spent
ill social converse. Mr. and Mrs.
Gault received many expressions of
regret at their departure aud of good
wishes for their happiness and pros,
pority, wherever they may bo.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Gault have
been residents of Grants Pass some
what less than two years and iu that
time they have gained a largo circle
of very warm friends, by whom
their departure is very keenly regret
ted. Iu musical circles especially,
Mrs. Guult's absence will be keenly
felt, as she is one of the most capable
and pleasing soprano soloists iu
Southern Oregon and is thoroughly
popular wherever her voico has boon
heard. Mr. Gault will bo Kindly
remembered in this city by all his
acquaintances and his never failing
courtesy in his business cajmcity
while in the office of the S. P. D, &
I Co., has gained him the esteem of
all who havo come iu contact with

YOU aro going to bny yonr winter shoes. Which kind are
yon goiug to buy? A good shoe may cost a trifle more
than the cheap, no acoount shoe, built to please the eye
aud catch the careless buyer, but Is it economy to buy the
inferior quality shoe? If you aro going to buy a heavy, every
day, good to wear shoe, easy on our feet, and as near water
proof as leather Is made, buy the United Workingmen Oro Kip
Shoes. These shoes are made plain toe or tip, with or without
outside counter, medium or high cut.
A SHOE with a reputation is the Walk-Over. Think of it,
1,958,000 pairs of shoes were made by them in their own
factories during the year ending November 25, 1901. Ton
want comfort aud economy, yon want a shoe that will wear
and keep its shape, sightly, aud drossy, buy a Walk-Over Shoe.
YOU don't kuow what to buy for that boy. It was the same
with us. We solved the question. Without any hesita
