Local Census.

There seems to be wide demand for In.
formation on the subject of widows and bach
elors, Judging from the labor being bestowed
upon a census of these interesting subdivis-
ions of society at number Of points.
We have not gone carefully over the
grounds here, but casual glance at the stu.
alton reveals an abnormal condition; the sur
plussage of bachelors here is occasioning
much uneasiness among the disiples of The
odore and it is growing into serious cir
cumstance, when viewed from the Sunday
School and kindergarten standpoints.
As to widows of manageable age, and it
seems that in the localities referred to, inter
est centres most on them, they are few with
us.
1t has been suggested that a town tax be
levied upon each bachelor; that the personal
effects of each newly married couple be ex.
empt from taxation for one year; that each
baby be given cash present and twins be
awarded special premium and that the fund
necessary thereto be apportioEed between
the unlmpressionable old bachelors.

Letter to Col. John IL. ROuZer,


Dear Sir: Some think we take Il good deal
of risk In inviting complaints of Devoe lead
and zinc-we authorize our agent to sell it
under this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with this
paint. either now in putting it en-, or here.
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
We authorize HIM TO do what is right at
our expense"
The following story tells how little the
risk is:
JH Asher s. Co, hardware dealers, Rhine
beck. N Y, have sold Devoe from '76 TO now;
have sold thousands Of gallons and have had
Just one complaint in all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect; the
fourth was as bad as the three were good.
Explanation--It rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and the painters
didn't wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such ceseg Whatever
the dealer, who sold the paint, considers it
fair to do. We leave it to him. He may
not do exactly what we should do if we were
there; but we are not there. The best we
can do is to leave 1t to him.
Yours truly
