CHEAP, DURABLE AND ORNAMENTAL

~--@~N 49, Il $3.50
The undersigned, a practical painter of much
experience, who has given general satisfaction
to all who have employed him. both as to the
price and quality OF his work, has recently
located in Opelousas, and s~olicits work in his
line of business-ll0use andsign painting, white
washing, k~alSomining, etc. He will work for
twenty-five per cent. less than the prices
that have been usually paid here, and guar
antee satisfaction. Estimates furnished without
charge. He will furnish all materials If de-
sired, thereby enabling parties to know at the
outset the full cost of the work. He has faeil-
Ties for obtaining painting materials much
Aheaper than persons generally, which makes
his Wa1Tk so much the cheaper. A specimen of
his painting can be seen at the Methodist church
i'll Opelousas, which he has just painted inside
and out. On inspecting his work and learning
his price, many will no doubt feel able to have
painting done, who now think thC1Ost too great.
See him and talk the matter over, which VIII
cost nothing. The eheapnesS and quality of his
painting, are an inducement to have painting
done. VIM. HILLSMAN,
