BrdtHebOro, VI.

Dear Sirs: No man has more need of a
quick and open mind for good new things
than grocery man. The whole town
looks to him for advice TO buy this, and
not TO Buy that, among 1901 articles It's
his business to know what is good, to
find out quick what is better, to drop the
good, and sell his neighbore the better.
Our paint Is not new-we are ourselves
l45 years old-it is new to some
Read what we guarantee:
IF you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on or after
ward in the wear. tell your dealer about
1t.
We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
This is our short way of saying the
paint is good. 1t is better than good 1t
Is best; the only good paint
old-fashion painters paint lead and oil,
is not good any longer-wears out in
three years, eight years, ten years, ff-
TENN favorable conditions.
Devoe lead and zinc IS the paint.
Yours truly.

"Out of the Fold" Somewhat Dissap
pointing.

After having seen toll Gate Inn"
by Langdon Mccormick, the perfor-
nance of "Out of the Fold" by the
same author, which was given in the
Auditorium Friday night, gave one a
sense of disappointment. The au-
thor's conception of the piece was
well enough, but, with one or two
notable exceptions, the actors were
somewhat deficient in carrying the
authors ideas into execution. Mr..
Mccormick was in the cast and was
we'll received. "Out of the Fold
introduces a lot of rural scenery and
country life, but the moral of the
play lies in the forgiveness of a
wronged, homeless girl by a young
man to whom she was betrothed
Sylvia Bidwell, as Helene Grey, was
the leading woman. Her acting was
largely of the emotional nature, of
the kind that has won admiration for
Mildred Holland and Kate Hassett
and it was creditably done. She
also has charming personality. The
leading man, Thomas MacLarnie. as
Nolan Crayne, played forcefully and
with intelligence, and won the good
graces of the audience by rebuking
the neighborhood gossips and protect,

The baliffs make the following re-
port Your bailiffs would report that
during the past year they have
throughlv renovated the engine house
on Elliot street, repainting both its
interior and exterior putting on a
new roof putting in a bath room and
improving the accommodations for
the men permanently on duty there;
this house had not been painted for
six years and the roof had not been
renewed Tor ten. thus making these
repairs absolutely necessary. The
expense connected with this was a.
bout $14o0, which appears in the
treasurer report. The repairs upon

which was damaged in the Crosby
block fire was another extra expense
in connection with the fire depart
ment. Il became necessary during

in Gen. Estay's yard was also cement

necessary during the past year to en-
tirelv relay the Walnut street sewer.
which was lone at an extra expense
of S175 which was not provided for
in the estimates for the past year.
Your bailif have during their term
of Office reduced the Indebtedness of
the village $500. this being re
duction of 500 in excess of the pre-
vious boards estimate. The float
ing debt has been refunded on
basis of 4 per cent. the rate previous
ly being pr cent.
Your CHIEF engineer recommends
the purchase of a new ladder truck
and ladders. and also 1000 feet of new
hose. If this is done the estimate
for the fire department should be in
creased to $500. A tax of 40 cents
on the dollar of the grand list will
probably raise money enough to meet
all estimated expenses for the coming
year, including the new truck and
hose. II these are not purchased,
the bailiffs will be enabled with a
40 cent tax. 10 reduce the outstanding
Indebtedness by at least $1,000. Grand
