Feed the Wood when you Paint

Feeu the wood when you Paint. Put a coat of raw linseed oil on a dry, unpainted board-the wood will absorb it-pnt on an other coat in a few hours, and you have fed that board with something that will preserve it. The object of painting is to pre- serve and beautify.
 If to the purest and best lin seed oil you add the proper pigments, combined with tur- pentine and turpentine drier, properly ground and mixed by machinery, and put up in pack ages holding exactly what they are marked, you make a paint the equal of the Chiffon Paint. You will find that it covers a greater surface than any other paint, and that it is the most economical in the end. If you are not prepared to buy the machinery for manufacturing your own paint, we have the Chiffon Paints for sale, and they are better than you can make.

ALMIRA DUNHAM WILLIAMS.

Another golden link has been broken from the chain connecting human life of the present century with that of the past, the only one probably in this town.
 On Sunday last, July 17th, at about eleven a m. Mrs Almira Dunham Will Hams, daughter of Asahel and Martha Dunham. after long, useful, loved and loveable life, entered into rest. She was ninety three years old, lacking four days. She was born July 21st, 1799, in the territory comprising this town, for merly the town of Canaan, and she has lived, with the exception of few years, all her long life within three quarters of a mile of the house in which she was born, and on land which was owned by her father. She married George Will Hams, native of the same town, on the 24th of December. 1924. MT Williams died on the 18th of Februrry 1856. Thirty-six years widow, to-day, July 18th. she was placed beside her bus. band. Peace be to their ashes.
 Mrs Williams was remarkable wo- man, always industrious, frugal and painstaking in her family, cheerful, pleasant and social in her intercourse with her neighbors, and in her thought and feeling, so far as friends could see, she never grew old-except as wine grows old, becoming more mellow and golden as the years go by. She was cheerful and pleasant to the last. She had no last sickness. nor did her hus- band He died sitting at the tea table; she on the morning of her demise arose AS usual, ate breakfast as usual and at eleven o'clock passed over to the other side of the ever flowing river.
 Vnle-Kind neiehbor friend and mother,
 We ne'er like thee shall gee another
 Of life so long. 90 nura. 90 true.
 So full of worth, with faults so few.
 The rays of lifa's declining sun
 Fell soft till all thy work was done.
 Then deaths dark curtain swiftly fell
 And closed the scene on "All Is we'll"
 Her heart was free from anvions strife,
 And loving kindness allad. her life.
 Doubt not she's fonnd her well-earned rest
 In the bright islands of the blest.

CANAAN'S BAND.

The Canaan Citizens band was organ ized two years ago last March under the name of the Canaan Cornet band. After a short time it was deemed advisable to change the name and the Canaan Citi- zens band was the name adopted. We never have said much about this band for the reason that we have boomed bands in this village before, and have seen them expire even during our boom ing but the present band is of different stuff and is here to stay, and we feel as members of this band are plucky lot of young men and have stuck together where other bands would have disorgan- ized, and they have won the admiration of our townspeople for their ''stayitive- ness" The band is composed of good musicians and has passed the age of Beginners Band Book, No. l " and play fine selection of music. It has 8 nice set of instruments which are prin cipally owned individually, a fine uniform and money in the treasury. The members are nice lot of young men and command respect wherever they go. This band is not known only at home but has done considerable work in other towns.
 The officers are as follows: General manager, J. H. Drake; musical director, O. H. Pease; secretary, H. D. Reed; treasurer, F. N. Brown. The instru- nnd .,la uarS sro ar follaxun.

Since the address Of the good old north

of suspicion the organization of almost
any kind OF order, have discovered that
several months ago a citizens alliance was
organized in Dawson, and the report has

A TERRIBLE SCENE.

The reports by wire describing the
scene of devastation and ruin wrought
by cyclone at Wellington, Kan, few
days ag are graphic. For instance, the
following:
1.-The most appalling scene was that at
the Philips house, where ball was in
prOgr>ss when the cyclone burst. The
dancers were given little opportunity to
escape from the topping structure. AS
the building began swaying in the terrific
gale, the people in the crowded ball
room made frantic rush for the doors.
The stairways and halls were Immediate
ly filled by crazed men and women, who
tore at each other in their mad rush for
the open air. With the crash of the
walls about and over them, there arose
great wall of despair from the impris-
oned and doomed multitude.
GAS the timbers crashed down upon
the struggling merrymakers, their hoarse
cries were throttled by the weight of the
mass of timbers above them. Then came
the silence of death and insensiblity,
only to be followed, moment later, by
the shrill blast of the tempest, as it rush
ed on to other destructive work, and the
agonized shrieks of the injured or dying
who were pinned down in the mass of
debris. Those who escaped from the
building began Immediately the work of
rescue. Some of those who fled from
the building left wives and sweethearts,
husbands or brothers behind These
they sought in the pile of bricks and
timbers."

An anarchist agitator has been firing
the minds of the farm hands in Hancock
county, urging them to refuse to work
fer less than $1.OO day, and telling
them that when the third party gets in
power it will secure them such wages.
He told them further that his party in
tended to divide up the land and give
them half of it, This piece of delivtry
is only a sample of what the ignorant
minds of the farm hands will be filled
by these socialishc agitators.

Red-HOt Exchanges.

A startling incident has just occurred in
the vicinity of the Editors Table. The
exchanges, after careful perusal, had flut-
tered one by one into the waste basket,
when suddenly the table was wrapped
in flames. When we had recovered from
the shock, and from the exertion OF Uoss-
ing the basket with its burning contents
into the street below, we sat down to
wonder how it happened. There has
not been spark of fire in the office ex-
cept what smOuldered at the end of a
Havana. 1t was a clear case of spon-
taneous com 5ustion The relations be-
tween some of the brethren have become
little strained, we had dropped the ex-
changes of the Second district into the
basket together and the result was con-
migration. Hereafter we shall pigeonhole
these brothers till their cruel war is
over.-V aldoSta Times.

work Of EARTH WORMS.

Darwin estimated that worms, by swal-
lowing earth for the sake of the vegetable
matter it contains and forming castings.
bring to the surface as much as ten tons OF
earth per annum on an acre. Worms are
greater promoters of vegetation by boring
perforating and loosening the SOIL and
rendering it pervious to rains and the
fibres Of plants, by drawing straws and
stalks Of leaves and twigs into it,
and, most of all, by throwing up such
infinite numbers of Jumps of earth called
worm casts, which form a fine manure
for grain and grass The earth without
worms would soon become cold hard
bound, void of fermentation, and con-
sequently sterile; this has occurred in
many cases where the worms have been
either accidentally or Intentionally de-
stroyed- The fertiIityof the soil thus lost
has only been restored when the worms
had again collected and resumed their
fertilizing work
