Letter TO Geo. l. Davis,
ToneStd, Pa.

DEAR SIR;-Here's something every
painter and builder ought to know.
Mr.. ]. ]. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, 5 years ago, lead-and-oil;
took 40 gallons. Last year, he painted
Devoe; bought 40 gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The knowl-
edge is getting about pretty generally,
that Devoe goes further than anything
else.
Have you found it out in your exper-
ience?
How much further?
Suppose job amounts TO 10000 square
feet; how much less Deyoe could you
buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost any
more or less to put-on by the gallon than
anything else? how much?
II it costs no more to put-on Devoe by
the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you
know; for the gallon does more feet. How
much less, do you find it, for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon il
yours; some do. The time, when that
comes-in, is when he gives-out the next
job.
Who gets il?
Yours truly,
5S f. w. DEvoE d Co.,
New York

Mr.. Craig, of Grove City, has put in a

some time ago.
The Cook Oil Lease was unfortunate in
losing two derricks. They were struck
by lightning and burned to the ground.
Two other derricks were fired by the
same stroke, but were put out before any
damage was done to them.

Commercial Bank INCORPORATES,

The Commercial Bank is incOrpO-
rating under the state law as savings
bank and is assuming the name of the
Commercial Savings Bank. The in
cOrporatOrs are Asmus Boysen, Keller
Leet, Ida l.. Leet, A. f. BeasOn and
G.. E. BRENNAN. The above named
persons are directors of the bank and
the officers are president, Keller Leet
vice president, G.. E. Breniman: cash
Ter, O. p. Coon.
The Commercial has been running
for about fifteen years and has always
been private bank. 1t was establish
ed by the late William Leet, the CAPT
talist, of Illinois. Since his death it
has been owned by his heirs, Frank
Leet being the manager until his recent
death. For several years it has had a
capital of $75, 900 and it is incOrpOrat-
ing with that amount of fully paid up
capital stock. AS will be seen by the
names of the incOrpOratOrs, it is TAX
ing in some new men. It's business has
always been good and it has always
had abundant resources. This act of
Incorporating is simply to put it more
in line with the popular custom of the
state, putting its business under in
spectiOn of state officials. Its man
agement will continue to be cOnserva-
tive and with the popular men whose
names are identified with it, it is
bound to continue as a popular and
successful institution.

f, BIRD Iowa. In 1865 they were under
Gen. Canby's command and were be-
siegeing Mobile, Ala, by land while
Farragut was attacking by water
Co. +. was with those who were dig
ging trenches by night, thus gradually
working up near the confederate forti-
fications. Then in the day they had
to remain lying down in the trenches
to avoid the fire from the enemy in
front while the fire from their own
batteries behind passed over their
heads. Once during the eighth day
of this attack one of their own guns
got to firing too low, tearing up their
fertilization and endangering the lives
of the men reclining in the ditch. If
the gun was not silenced it seemed
like the whole bunch of men would be
killed by the shot from their own gun.
The captain called for volunteer to
run over the ground back to the bat
terry and silence the gun. The distance
was about quarter of mile. The
messenger would be subject to the
marksmen as we'll as the cannon of
the enemy and also the accidental shot
of his friends. While the members of
the company hesitated to run that shot
raked gauntlet Joe Ridpath said he
would do it and was told to go. He
ran, jumping over logs, falling over
the impediments more than once, and
more than once thought by his friends
to be killed. But he got through safe
ly and put quietus on the gun. After
that Joe was referred to as the bravest
man in the company and when he at
tended the reunion at Oskaloosa last
week his old comrades recalled the
event, it being fresh in their memories
as II it had been but yesterday.
