The order Of Buffaloes has swept this
village, and as a consequence something
like 36 have taken their degree, and are
more or less proud of it, or profess to be.
w. F. Essex is supreme deputy buffalo
for this feeding ground, and Is leading
the herd quite chase. There is talk of
a buffalo supper to be given the last Of
this week, and it may be comical to see
pair of buffaloes locking horns across a
table.

The L. and D. society gave their debate
and other entertainment last Tuesday
evening to an audience that filled the
hall and that same audience was a
most surprised and delighted one. They
had expected to hear good debate, and
they heard one that has probably never
been surpassed In the hall. They also
expected soomething good Of the orches-
tra-John Whitford and two daughters
and Robert Pratt-on the violin, piano,
flute and cornet. Their selection was
heartily encored and responded to by a
|
first. Miss Ida Hall sang, accompanied
by Miss Lena Korper on the piano, and
the audience knew what to expect, as
Miss Halls singing is always Of the high
est order. But the playing Of the South
| Wilmington brass band was a surprise,
and If anyone In the village had any
doubts as to whether the boys could play,
those doubts are now dispelled. Under
the capable and efficient leadership OF
James Lawrence the band gave an exhi-
bition that met with a most hearty re-
ception. The boys will probably own
the town from now on, and II they get the
support they deserve they will be cred

Dear Sir: A bankers business is to
know pretty much everything. Here's a
part of it, we'll worth anyone's knowing.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint that
lasts twice as long as lead and oil. Our
agent sells 1t under this guarantee:
IF you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, OIL
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about 1t.
1--WE authorize him to do what Is right
at our expense"
II you get your house painted with 1t
and it wears no better than most lead ano
oil, you will have good cause of com
plant; and we must pay damages.
This is the paint that looks as good
and wears twice as long, as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
