In Bankruptcy.

Catlett d Jenkins, who for some years
have been doing mercantile business at
Pocahontas, Va, and also at Newport
News, have filed petition in bankruptcy
in the United States Court at Norfolk,
Va. Their liabilities are placed at up
wards of ten thousand dollars. Some years
ago they failed and made an assignment,
preferring their wives and mother. The
deed of assignment was attacked by credit
ors, but the deed was upheld in the courts.
Messrs. Catlett & Jenkins had been for a
number of years running the business in
the name of their wives. Last year some
of their old creditors brought suit in
chancery, claiming that the earnings and
profits of the business belonged to Catlett
and Jenkins, individually, and not to their
wives. A decree was entered at the last
term of the circuit court upholding that
contention, that is, that all the real and
personal estate that had been acquired by
Catlett & jenkins, as firm, subsequent to
their failure, belonged to them and was
liable for their debts. Catlett & Jenkins
took an appeal to the Supreme Court of
Appeals, and it is now pending in that
court. In the meantime the creditors in
whose favor the decree of the circuit court
Was entered had acquired lien on the
property and the determination of the APP.
peal in the Court of Appeals will have an
important bearing on the final settlement
of the litigation.

Dear Sir: For your house, no matter
what's the matter it it isn't human you
know-a prescription:
Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with 4
brush, from one to three coats-get q
painter to dc it.
Your State chemist knows all about De.
voc has analysed it; reports it pure; will
analyze it occasionally. He buys it wher.
ever be likes-it is generally in the best
paint.store in town.
You know what the color and dryer are
for; do you know what the lead and zinc
and oil are for2 Not being a painter, you
may not choose to know; but well tell
you. Lead and zinc and oil combine 10
form rubbery waterproof coat TO keep
out dampness. That's the whole business
The oil would do it alone; lead and oil
would do it, without the zinc; zinc and oil
without the lead; but the three together
are best, because they wear best.
We say to you, "get painter" as we'd
say to him "get doctor"-every man to
his trade. Can't all be painters and doc.
tors; don't want to.
You will be more successful In prosper.
ous looking house and he in good health.
Take good care of one another.
