SHELDON LOSES BARN.
Is Destroyed For Second Time
in Two Years.

Charles N. Sheldon's barn was again
burned by incendiaries this morning
about 1870 o'clock. The family horse, a
COW and buggy We're saved. The barn
and the rest of its contents was totally
destroyed
In the early part of 1901. almost ex-
aetly two years ago. the barn was set
atire at the same hour in the morning,
and totally destroyed. 1t seems as
though the dastardly work is being
done by some personal enemy of Mr..
Sheldon. and some have suggested that
it is possibly done at the instigation of
two jointkeepers whom Mr.. Sheldon has
been opposing since they started up
there under the police protection.
Very few people in the neighborhood
were awakened by the fire. and the
alarm was sent in by telephone from
Mr. Sheldon's house. The barn was a
very well built structure. and the loss
will probably be about $500.

In order to prove how superior Malt

that if it does not prove satisfactory in
every way, the Malt Breakfast Food

This offer is unusual, but in these
days of food fads q breakfast cereal
like Malt Breakfast Food that is simply
honest food and does not claim to be a
panacea for all the ills that flesh is heir
to, is unusual also. 1t supplies all the
elements necessary to perfectly nourish
both body and brain, has an appetizing

the directions on the package, goes
just eight times as. far as light

A dump fire by Capitol street was oc-
casion for an alarm from Box 81, at
$50 A. NJ. Saturday. 1t was in the
rear of the house owned by Justin E.
Packard and occupied by James Frost.
There are several theories to account
for the blaze it may have started by a
spark from some chimney, or by means
of ashes thrown on the dump, but the
probability is that it was from children
playing with matches. 1t was quite a
big blaze, and worked deep into the
heap of rubbish, so that it took exactly
sixty minutes from the sounding of the
alarm to the ringing of 'all out" which
is fairly extinguishing of that kind of
fire. The hose teams made quick
runs to the fire. but it was found that
only one stream was necessary, and
that from the Capitol hose" One
Augusta citizen commenting on this
fire remarked that it would be a good
idea for the street commissioner and
fire department to cooperate in burn
ing of all the dumps about the city,
the commissioner or q crew of his men
cleaning up the edges of the dump and
watching it and tending it to see that
| it burned, and a couple of firemen with
hose keeping it within safe bounds.

For the same reason that it takes less

ceivable but true. Water isn't paint
Barytes isn't paint. Whiting isn't
paint. Benzne isn't paint. Petroleum
isn't paint. Fish-oil isn't paint. None
of these are right part of a good
paint. None of these do the work that
belongs to paint.
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is one-hun-
dred per cent. paint. The adulterated
mixed paints are only twenty to eighty
five per cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen
to eighty per cent. cheaper than Devoe
Lead and Zinc-no; the worst of them
oughtn't to be anything. Lacy waste
your money; you not only must buy
more gallons. but you must pay the

In Memoriam.

1t is fitting that a few words of
recognition be said in memory of a
true and noble woman, Mrs. A. Augusta
Simmons, who passed to her home in
heaven, last Monday morning, after a
brief illness of only four days. Early
left widow with three young children,
she gave herself with cheerful courage
to rearing them to manhood and wo-
manhood, and bravely she fulfilled that
duty. She lived to see them married
and in homes of their own, and their
children rose up to make her heart glad.
Her last years have been spent with
her children in their homes. She had
a bright. cheerful disposition and
brought sunshine wherever she went.
She was just past 20, but seemed much
younger. All her friends and neighbors
enjoyed her companionship. cheer
full, hopeful faith was her and she was
interested in all good thoughts of life
here and life beyond. Her passing was
as beautiful and full of peace as her
living had been. Just as the morning
sun was flooding the earth with warmth
and light, without pain or fear, she
entered into the life everlasting of the
country beyond the valley and shadow
of death. Her children were with her
to the very last and did all that loving
care could do. They were blessed in
her life and her memory will be a bene-
diction throughout their lives.
I'VE know not how to say the word good
bye"
We know not how to leave thee at the
gate
That opens for thee towards that city
high
Where other hands with loving welcome
wait.
We long shall miss thee as we go our
ways
The home will miss thee from it's broken
band,
Full many a tear will tell thy sober
praise.
And all good works will miss thy helping
hand"
FROM A NEIGHBOR AND A FRIEND.
