DEATHS HAIR VEST.

Mr.. w. A. Jameson died on We'd
nesday of last week at the residence
of his sister, Mrs. J. M. Foster, at
Carter's Creek, after a in gering
illness of several weeks. He took a
severe cold last February, and has
not been well since, though he has
been confined to his bed for a few
weeks only. He was widower,
without children; a kind, amiable
man, respected and loved by all his
neighbors and friends. He was in
his 73rd year, and his nearest sur
viving relatives are Mrs. j. M. Eos
ter, Mr.. r. G. tmeson and Maj. L.

by Rev. Mr.. Ausborn. Interment in
l. ,sting Hope Cemetery.
Mr.. w. J. Caldwell was found
dead in his bed at his residence on
10th street last Saturday morning by
the cook when she called to wake
him for breakfast. He was lying
across the bed dressed, all except
his shoes, and from all appearances
had been dead several hours, as his
form was cold and stiff. Apoplexy
is the supposed cause; and it APP.
pears that he had seated himself on
his bed and taken off his shoes pre-
paratory to undressing for the night,
when the Messenger suddenly came.

We Do Not
UNDERSTAND

why some people will be induced
to buy mixed paints that are only
claimed to be composed wholly
of lead and zinc and pure linseed
oil, when this claim Is only sup
ported by the simple statement
Of the seller and not sustained by
any guarantee Of purity nor
chemical analysis. Ask them If
they will do as Rains does-he
stands ready to deposit in bank a
sufficient sum of money to pay
the cost of analysis by any first
class chemist whose analysis
fails to verify the absolute purity
of his paint. Try them by this
test and see If they really be-
lieve the paint they offer to sell
you is pure. The public has
been deceived too much and too
often on mixed paints. Our
paint costs you no more than
other dealers ask you for adul-
terated and short measure gal
Ions.
