Letter to C. W. Pitchford, WalhalIa, S. C.

Dear Sir: How would you like to take
the agency for the "Fewer gallons; wears
longer" paint-Devoe Lead and ZincP
1t will out in half the amount of paint
you sell for any one job, but will multi
ply the number of jobs by three, four,
five, ten, fifteen-as much as you and we
can make it by putting the facts before
your fellow-townsmen. 81.
People are going to paint more when
they find it's 80 worth while to paint,
and they are going to be glad they did it
instead of sorry, as many are now.
It's like making harness. He who
finds way to make harness in less
time, at less cost, and make it last twice
to four times as long, is going to get the
business of his town.
Lucky is the dealer who secures the
agency for Devoe Lead and Zinc-the
"Fewer gallons; wears longer'' paint.
Yours truly, f. w. Devoe & Co.,

Mrs. Julia NJ. Johnson.

At dawn of new born day in the
home of her beloved sister (Mrs. Lena
Reid), at Seneca, S. c., passed out from
earth to heaven the soul, the white, stain
less soul, of Julia NJ. johnson. Hers
was life crowned with good works and
tender lninistrations. A teacher for years
of marked ability, akindergarter of un-
equalled success, love the maxim of her
daily life to all-she leaves countless
friends and wide circle of relatives to
mourn her death. Little children, whose
hearts turned to her as flowers to the
sun, have lost friend whose like they
ne'er will meet again. With the clear
eyes of faith, she looked beyond, and
firm in the love and devotion of her be-
loved Presbyterian church, she placed
her tired hands on those Of the Saviour
she loSed and trusted, closed her beauti-
full eyes on earth to open them in heaven,
and 80 went home to dwell with the
just made perfect. Kneeling, place
upon her dear grave the immortelles of
love, sympathy and regret.
oh, engels, guard this holy spot;
Bloom here, oh, sweet forget-me-nots.
