THE HERALD learns that J. w.
Davis has sub-let the contract for
painting the hospital building at
Fort Brown to c. r. Ashton.
Work will begin next week.
The painting of Lon c. Hills

contract, and c. R. Ashton did the

ciate the benefits to be derived
from a thorough painting Other
buildings also need a good dose of
paint.
