Letter to Owen Davis.

DEAR SIR: A great many people will
see your house in the course of the next
ten years. We want it to show what De-
voc lead-and-zinc will do We shonld
like you to paint it, and then not paint
it again for ten years-unless it needs
repainting.
We'd like such sample as that in every
town in the hecountry-with a notice about
it in the local paper: Mr. Davis's house
was painted ten years ago with Devoe
lead dand-cinc, and has never been re-
painted. The color is not SO bright as it
was; but the paint is as perfect coat as
ever, to keep out water"
A good lead-and- oil job is expected to
last three years; it is a good one that
lasts three years; it generally does not.
Devoe lead-andzinc lasts twice as long,
if not
''If you have any fault to find with this
paint. either now in putting it on. Or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about it.
We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
We want your house as a sample, and
you as witness.
Yours truly.

Star Attraction of the Season,

Manager Aronson informs US that
the reason he is able to give theater-
going people of Henderson such a big
minstrel attraction as the Donelly &
Hatfield Magnificent Minstrels, is
that the company was booked in
Salisbury for October 10th, but ow-
ing to the opera house not being
completed they had this date open.
After some correspondence, a few
wires and the assurance that the
company would do big business here,
Manager Aronson was fortunate
enough to get the biggest and best
Minstrel company that will play here
this season. The Donnelly & Hatfield
minstrels are backed by the capital
and the experience of the we'll known
king of minstrels, Mr.. AL. G. Field,

a general selling out of clothing at
greatly reduced prices to close out
this branch OF his business. Every
mans, boys and child's suit is inclu-
ded in this closing out sale.
For some time Mr.. Watkins has
been thinking about going into the
wholesale dry goods and notion busi-
ness. With this end in view he will
sell out clothing and discontinue this
department Of the business. The
stock is large and the goods new
this seasons purchases. Some idea
OF the cut that has been made in
prices can be got from the figures
printed in the advertisements cut
that means money saved to the pur-

A ReIia BILE Concern.

1t is always pleasant to do busi-
ness with a reliable firm. When you
buy an article you know if it dc es
not prove satisfactory you can get
your money back or its equivalent.
Mrs. j. L. H. Missillier buys ladies'
umbrellas and parasols from Hirsh
d Brother, 13OS-1311 Market street,
Philadelphia. In Il lot sold one
proved defective-split and came to
pieces. Her attention was called to
it and the matter was taken up with
the firm. Regrets were expressed and
instructions given to satisfy the Gus
toner in any way agreeable-by re-
funding the money or replacing the
defective article with a new one. A
new cover was satisfactory and this
was promptly forthcoming. These
are the kind of people Mrs. Missillier
deals with and her customers appre-
ciate the fact.

In 1884 the property was merged into
the Consolidated California and Virginia.
The Belcher mine was another great
bonanza. 1t was discovered in 1859 by
A. Belcher after whom it was named,
and who opened up pay ore near the
surface, obtainable. In 1868 the mine
was incorporated with capital of $780,
900. During 1869 and 1870 55,2SS tons of
ore was crushed, yielding $1,57O.37O, or
about 1872 ton, all of which was mined
from above the 730-foot level In Au-
gust. 1871, pay ore was struck on the
S5o-foot level. Up to 1897 it's earnings
amounted to s33 S10.513, and paid divi-
dends amounting to s16,325, 440. This
vast volume of wealth was stopped from
chambers above the water level.
The Crown Point was another notable
producer on the Comstock lode, from a
length of 600 feet adjoining the Belcher
mine. 1t was first incorporated in the
year 1861 with a capital of $1,200O00 in
loots WHICH WAS subsequently luCTedSeu
to $340o.Ooa in 1864, to $3O00,OO0 in 1857
and finally in 49, to $40, 100000. During
period extending from 1865 to 1878 II
produced ore for which it received $29,
903. .961, and distributed among its share
holders s11,41S.O00. Since 1878 the produc
ton has been about $4,000, 900, and prac-
tically the whole output was gained
from above the water level, the average
value ranging from 1914 to $50.96 per
ton.
In 1867, with capital of ssOOO.0O0. the
par value of the stock being $3.50. the
shares sold as high as s6S7.50. Many
years of assessments have followed ano
the market price is now Is cents.
Whether the unwatering of the lower
levels will disclose sufficient pay ore to
recoup the patient stockholders remains
to be seen.
