MEMORIAL SERMON,

The members OF Capt. G. w. Ryan
Post and Rhoads lady cadets attended
divine services at the Lutheran church
Sunday evening.
The pastor, Rev. w. X. Diehl, was
selected to deliver the annual memorial
sermon and mastery production it
was. The church was filled to the door
with an expectant audience and the
treat they received at the hands of the
pastor, was one that could not fail to
please every one who heard it.
The skilful manipulation of language
clothed with thoughtful suggestions,
the purify and precision of diction en-
circled the hearts of his hearers that
one and all were carried along with
the speaker, inspired with the lofty
ideas of the man and the soldier which
was the theme Of his discourse.
1t was sermon of unusual merit and
won for the speaker the highest words
of commentator.

Letter to J. N. Thompson,
MIDDLEBURGH, PA.

Dear Sir: Mr.. H. H. Stephenson,
Cashier. of Oil City, (Pa.) Savings
Bank writes "Nine years ago pant
ed my house with your paint. 1t wore
so well, I want to use it again"
That's nothing wonderful except for
the fact that the soft coal region of
Pennsylvania is pretty hard on paint
with its oil, smoke and CRIME. All we
see in it is that Devoe is good for nine
years sometimes. There are thousands
of people that know it, and millions
that don't.
There's the rub! We print for the
millions; we want to make paint for
the millions.
Mr.. Cashier, do you know that Devoe
lead and zinc is worth twice as much
as old-fashion painters paint, lead and
oil, and costs no more? Is 100 per cent
fair profit in your business?
Three-quarters of the people paint
lead and oil mixed by hand; while the
U. S. Government use lead, zinc and
oil ground together by machinery
same proportions as Devoe lead and
Ziuc. The majority never is right
about anything.
Yours Truly.
+. w. DEvOE & Co.

Only a Katydid.

Several weeks ago Prof. Billhardt
brought piece of a rase stalk to this

some unknown insect. The Professor
asked us to send it to State College as
it was something entirely new,

tained the eggs Of Katydid, and il
the twig were put In a warm box for a
few days, we would have nice crop
of Katydids. .

Supposed Dead Boy Very Much Alive

An event family reminiscent of Wilkio
Collins THE Dead Alive occurred down
in Harnett a few days ago.
AT one of the camps for the forces
working upon the extension of the Raj
egh and Cape Fear road, some young
fellows engaged in a friendly tussle, in
which one of them was severely hurt
Afterwards the report went out that he
was dead.
The parents of the young man, whose
name was Woods, were notified, and a
party set out for tho camp to bring the
body to their home, near Fuquay Springs
When they reached the camp, however,
weeping was changed to joy, for 10, the
supposed dead boy was working away
with the very busiest of the force. Just
fancy the great gasp of relief that went
up from those grief oppressed hearts
And the flowers that were gathered by
fair hands for that young mans grave
will now doubtless shed their fragrance in
