Dear Sir: There are thousand ways
to cheat in our business; and whether our
neighbors suspect us OF cheating or not,
depends on ourselves, our talk, our face,
our eve, our walk, our standing
straight up or crooked-our neighbors
know all about US without being told !!
We are pretty we'll known. We are no
infant-l46 years old-began business
on this little island New York; in 1854.
Have been making paint and noise in
the world ever since.
And there isn't a man, alive or dead,
that wouldn't testify for us, it you should
stir him up
We grind lead and zinc in linseed oil by
machinery, all together. That's our bust.
ness. We live on the profit-machinery
over hand work. Painters mix their
paint by hand-they imagine they do
they half mix it. We grind together;

We are the very best friend the painter
has, if he knows it or not. He can't
afford not to know it. We are the paint

The Demeritt Case Again.

The question of Chief of Police Demer-
tits conduct during the Kicker. Demeritt
hog case which was tried here last
month IS still matter of discussion at
Montpelier. The matter had qnieted
down somewhat but last week one of
the Montpelier papers published a St.
Johnsbury item concerning the case and
that started the ball rolling again, and
this resulted in a statement from Mr..
Demerltt in Saturdays evening Argus
in which he says, that r. w. Simonds of
St. Johnsbury, hearing of reports against
Demeritt, teIephoned Offering the latter
his help in the matter. Mr.. Simonds
subsequently made affidavit concerning
Demerltt's conduct while here. Letters
were also secured from w. A. TapIin of
this place aud A. J Goss of West Danvlle,
who served on the Jury in the case. and
from Sheriff Sulloway and Elisha Nav.
| with these were sworn affidlvlts from
! Deputy Sheriff Worthen, Deputy County
Clerk Hunt, G Howe, II. w. Gable
and J. K Searls, each stating that there
was no indication OF intoxlcation about
Mr.. Demerltt seen by them during his
stay here. As stated in last weeks CAL.
EDoNIAN the removal of Mr.. Demerltt
from the office OF chief OF police, accord.
ing to Mayor Brown, was not because
of the ST. J h lsbury episode, and the
publication OF the above mentioned let
tiers and afidavits ought to exonerate
the ex chief in this matter.

An Interesting Debate,

That debate set for Saturday evening,
at G. A. R. hall, should not be forgotten.
1t will be entertaining, and it is expected
that several visitors from out OF town

on Sumter was God-send; and just
what points the "tors" and "againsts"
will make, with the retrospect OF so
many years, it will be interesting to note.
