William r. Waddell departed this life
on the 9Th of August, 1908, at his home,
near South Union, Oconee county, South
Carolina, after an illness of some three
or four months, from dropsy. His re-
mains were buried on the 9th of August

devoted member for number of years
past. He was, at the time of his death,
Junior Warden of Fair Play Lodge, No.
1872 A. F. NJ, and his body was buried
with the honors of the Order, conducted
by Fair Play Lodge, assisted by members
of Townville Lodge, No. 200 A. r. M.
He was married to Miss Nancy Cole, a

He was good man and true in all the

member, and his family it's head and
chief support. We extend our heartfelt
sympathies to his sorrowing widow and

Dear Sirs: It's an old saying: The best
advertisement is pleased customer.
1t happens TO us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years for
a dogs age, and thinks he knows what
he wants-buys so gallons and has 10
left.
BE sees right off that 20 Deyoe ia as
rrnch as 80 Of anything else. He likes
that; 1t comes quick; it is surprise;
and he tells Of 1t. The best advertise
ment is q pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't a
sign that his house needs paint, he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow; it is surprise; but he
has got used to it. Still the best adver-
tisement is a pleased customer.
Yours truly, f. w. Devoe 6 Co.

He Killed His Vile.

Kansas City, August 15.--George
Evans, manager of the American Trans
fer Company, murdered his wife, Mrs.
Lille Maude Evans, at their home in
the Southern part of the city to-day.
Later, Evans was found dead in st.
Mary's cemetery, two miles away, hay
ing shot himself with revolver.
According to h servant girl, who was
the only witness to the tragedy, Evans
walked into his wife's apartments and
fired two shots at her. Mono of the
bullets took effect. Dragging the woman
toward him by her hair, Evans placed
his pistol at the back OF her neck and
fired, literally blowing her head off.
Mrs. Evans filed suit for divorce last
Wednesday, and this was probably the
primary cause of the murder. She
charged her husband with being drunk
and cruel In his treatment toward her,
and 1t was intimated in society circles
that other details more sensational
would be forthcoming,
