The debt question has been settled-pass-
ed on by the Legislature, the Governor and
the Courts, and now the Democratic party
will pass on it the 25th, and it will be for
ever settled, as far as the people are con-
cerned. This is one reason for the meeting
of the convention.-Lynchborg Aduance.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle remarks
that
'"Three out of four of the pension office

shows that Malone, having demoraiized

day in the conduct of some men who would,
at one time in their life, have resented, with
virtuous indignation the bare intimation
that they had any sympathy with the Boss

ITS ADVANTAGES OVER SLATE.

Slate roofing is very costly, all things being
considered. Slate roofing will crack by freeZ-
ing and thawing, and from heat of adjacent
fires will crumble and slide and will blow of.
Six or seven times as heavy as iron, it requires
a strong and expensive structure TO bear 1t up,
and an extreme pitch, which makes a large
amount of sur ace; they often cause a building
to settle out of shape. and the rule of measure
ment is always greater than iron roofing. Slate
roofs are condemned at many places. Many
people say they want no more slate root, and
many architects advise customers not to have
slate roof.

IRON ROOFING

IRON ROOFING
is no longer a new thing, as many suppose, but
has been used in many places in Europe and
would be almost universally used if it could
have been afforded heretofore at as low a cost
now and had as good material and a perfect
mode of construction been known and used,
such as are EN- braced in the Augusta Iron Roof
ing and Paint.
NONE BUT THE VERY BEST REFINED
IRON IS USED
in our roofing. This iron we have manufac-
tuSed especially for our own use, and all imper-
feet sheets are thrown out. The iron is paint
ed on both sides with
IRON-CLAD PAINT.
This paint has proved to be tie best roofing
paint in the world. 1t has an established II pu-
United States. 1t is especially adapted as a
protection to iron, tin or wood. We apply the
third coat after the roof is put on, and it will
last for years without deterioration.
ITS ADvANTA GES OVER SHINGLES.
Shingles vera once made of the best selected
timber and lasted longer than now; they are
such timber as cannot be made into anything
else, and are shOrt-lived at best, and frequent
ly leak rain or fine snow. The average life of
shingle roofs is twelve years, md IN towns
where coal is use only ten years. Shingles are
old-fashioned and have seen their best days.

A SUSPICIOUS BoX.-The dynamite scare
has taken possession Of the officials al
Washington. At any rate this is the in
ference to be drawn from the following story
for which the critic vouches:
A suspicious looking Irishman attracted
considerable attention in the park back OF
the State Department, one afternoon, by
his peculiar movements. He carried a lit
tie queer shaped box, and the impression
soon got abroad that he was dynamite
fiend, who intended to blow our Interna'
tional Courtesy Department into smith
Greens because of its alleged sympathy with
England. A watchman and several spec
tators soon closed in upon the mysterious
Celt, and the former gruft1y demanded:
"What are you doing here?"
II won't tell yes" quietly responded the
Irishman.
"Then I'll arrest ye."
"And phat for, sure?'
Son suspicion"
"On phat's that?"
'Suspicion. Sneaking about the grounds
with that queer box. What are We doin
with it anyway ?" exclaimed the watchman
eXcitedly.

yez? Why, Pm jest catching sum grass

Bugle for the purpose of showing that he

ter short interview, left with b handful OF
the reporters hair. He was arrested and
taken before the police judge.
"You did not have sufficient cause to put
bald head on so young a man." said the
Judge. "It was evident that he did not
purposely misspell your name"

the mistake, he seemed much concerned.

for you can readily perceive that it is not
an error of the heart"
"Why can I perceive it?"
Because" he continued, pointing to the
erroneous caption, "it is an error of the
head"
"Nobody can shoot such pun at me, for

BROTHER GARDNER ON MARRIAGE.-''I

right, an wish 'em much joy, an shall be
glad to witness the obsequies Of each and
ebery one. But, want to say a few words
in gen'ral. In de fust place, am you gwine
to marry for love or fur sort o. 5zness
partnership? If you answer fur love, let
me warn you dat you doant mistake de
sentiment. Many young man who thought
his heart torn by love has plunged into mat
rimony to diskiver dat he simply had an
admiration for a $50 set of false teeth an a
high instep. Ifyou answer fur sort O. biz
ness partnership, let me warn you not to eX-
pect too much. Yo' won't love de woman,
an she won't trust you. 1t will be sort
o. hoss trade in which both parties will be
cheated and both continyer to be mad about
it. You kin git along arter fashion, an
people who see her on your arm at a circus
won't know how you fight at home.
eff you mus marry, let common sense
hav' a show in de transakshun. Doan 'gootf
yer feet because yer meet gal who can
sing Ike robin, smile like rose, an jump
off de street kyar widout boderin' de driver
to stop. A wife will have much to do be-
sides singin' an cultivatin' dimples.. Ifyou
am gwine ter marry, AK yourselves how fur
$40 per week will 60 when divided up fur
clothes an pervishuns an house rent an
fewel an incidentals. BefO' you fall in
love wild gal who looks too sweet fur any
thin in red d:plush sacque, kinder figure on
how many such duds your income would
afford her. Befo' you am all broke ober a
gal who plays de pianner, talks French,
paints landscapes an reads poetry, jist sit
down an figger who am to cook yer meat
an taters, patch yer cleze, darn yer sox an
make S12 buy s15 worth Of things. Befo' We
let par O. flashin' eyes an a cunnin' dim
pie captivate We, look aroun' a little an see
ifde owner has got temper like wildcat.
