Letter to c. M. Dyer.
Island Pond, VI


Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is bet
ter than two of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tannersville
(Catskill Mts), N. Y, Chas. L. Wiltse,
had two coats of Mixed Paint five years
ago; last spring had two more coats of
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but got
his Mixed Paint few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time--last spring.
The Haner house is the better job
but wait five years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some.
thing that one man in thousand knows
that a gallon of one kind of paint can
contain twice as much paint as a gallon
of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
kind of paint even if you have it given
to you. At the same time, you see, that
Mixed Paint appears to have worn five
years-give the devil his due.
Yours truly,
"a f. w. DEvoE & Co.

MRS. ANNA JOY EARR.

After many weeks of severe suffering
Mrs. Anna Joy Farr entered into rest
Thursday, September %. Her death in
the very prime of life is severe shock
to all her friends and staggering blow
and irreparable loss to her family.
Anna A. Joy was born in Brighton 46
years ago. She was the daughter of
Arba Joy, well known citizen whose
death occurred few years since. In
1882 she was married to Charles w.
Farr. The union was in every respect
most happy one. With the two
daughters who blessed their home they
were one of the most happy and con-
tented families. With the exception of
few years at West Burke and Derby
their married life had nearly all been
spent i'm this town. A few months since
they moved to Colebrook, N. H., where
Mr.. Farr had secured desirable posi-
ton. About seven weeks ago Mrs. Far
fell victim to that dread disease,
typhoid fever. Everything that loving
care could suggest was done to save her
life, but all was of no avail, and her lite
slowly ebbed away. The body was
brought to Island Pond and funeral
service was held Sunday afternoon at the
Methodist Church of which the deceased
had been member for 26 years. A
large attendance of friends and great
quantity Of beautiful flowers bore testi
mony to the esteem in which Mrs. FAR
was held as we'll as to the sympathy fell
for the sorely stricken family.
Mrs. Farr was one, the purity an(
goodness of whose life was never doubted
Quiet and unassuming, she made friends
everywhere and her influence was eve
felt for good. Always considerable ant
kind to all, her life was largely centere(
in her family. She made the hom
what it ought always to be, place o.
peace and delight. She was consis
tent Christian and faithful and help
full member of the church. Besides he
, husband and two daughters, Ethel ant
Geraldine, she leaves stepmother, Mrs
,Joy. and two sisters, Mrs. E. E. Blake o
this place and Mrs. F. 7. Clark OF Swan
ton. The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to the sorely bereave'
family.

The Burlington Free Press says
"Ex-Goy. U. A. Woodbury., who has
tried various kinds of investments is
now satisfied that the best way to dis
pose of surplus capital is to invest it in
ones home town and he is acting ac-
cordingly. II every local capitalist would
follow this example, Burlington's indus
tries would be multiplied manifold in
ten years, and our city would double in
size in a short period"
II seem to the HERALD that that is
very good doctrine to preach right here
in Island Pond.

a fine effect upon their voices; and the
list would be very contradictory, some
warning others against what their

that carrots tend to make such sing
ers as these or to improve voices, there
are many reasons why the fact should
be made known In this country, where
from the climate or other causes voices
are undergoing an unfavorable modifi-
cation. Really fine bassos are difficult
to find, and n great musical authority
