Letter to Hiss BEETLE White.
Accomac, Va.

hCCOludOj Fos
Dear Madam: The cheapest thing
in the way Of sending anything over
the world is postage stamp; and the
cheapest way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do you
happen to know-it don't belong to
your business to know about paint,
you know-do you happen to know
that most of the makers of paint stuff
it out with lime and clay and sand
and water and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but not
on the house. They make more gal
Ions to sell or to buy; more money to
pay for paint; more money to pay for
putting it on; a good deal more money
to pay for putting it on; but no more
beauty; more rust; decay; disappoint-
ment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full-measure.
Yours truly
F. w. Devoe & Co.

The Advantages of the Telephone.

In tAis twentieth century in which
we live. time Is money. Years ago
railroads were not necessary, now
they are. The same applies to tele-
phones. If you could but once see the
advantage of the telephone you would
never be without one. With it,
whether in your office or residence or
farm house, you are in touch with
the markets, your friends, the doctor
and the business world in general, ac-
complishing in five minutes what
would have taken your ancestors five
days. We are keeping pace with the
times and now have a force of men
extending lines to those who have
availed themselves of the opportunity
and signed contracts.
We want to stimulate the relations
between the farmers and merchants
on the Eastern Shore, and have made
rates such that no farmer or suburban
resident can afford to ignore. Each
instrument we install increases the
value of those already in service.
Nearly all business men are sub
scribers, having the advantage over
their competitors who are without
the service. The merchant needs the
farmer and the farmer needs the mer-
chant-both are indispensable to the
residence.
Write our representative, Mr.. G. A.
White, at Onancock, Va, and he will
call and give you any information re-
garding telephone service and quote
you a rate which will meet your APP
proval, regardless of location. What
ever the conditions we can serve you.
Let us talk it over and be mutually
benefited.

matter. and | have book at home
filled with cases bearing on fraternal
disDaritles. | know Of learned jurist,
and a most excellent man from every
point of view, who has brother In the

brothers. three of whom were men OF
the highest social and business stand

and yagabonds, outcasts from society.
