Letter to Peter Gortuer,

Dear Sir: Would you like to hear
of a 20-Year paint?
Mr.. James A. C'Niel's house, Hen
derson. N. G., was painted 90 years
ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc, and
never painted again till last year; it
then looked better than common
paint in half that time.
The reason is: Deyoe is all paint
and true paint; while the common
paints are part true and part false.
Don't pay to monkey with paint.
And Deyoe costs less than any of
'em; not by the gallon, of cours,; by
the house and year. That's how to
reckon it, Go by the name.
Yours truly,
"a F. w. DEvOE & Co.
P. S. J. NJ. Davis s. Son sells our
paint.

A eirl,s Essay on Bows.

Boys are men that are not as
big as their papas. and girls are
women that will be ladies by and
by. Man was made before wom-
an, when God looked at Adam, he
said to himself: "Well 1 think 1
can do better if 1 try again" And
he made Eve. God liked Eve 30
much better than Adam that there
have been more women than men.
Boys are trouble They wear
everything but soap. If I had
my way half of the world would be
girls and the rest dolls. My papa
is SO nice that I think he must
have been little girl when he was
a little boy. Man was made and
on the seventh day he rested
Woman WAS then made and she has
never rested since.

Years. 8 months, IL days. her dis
ease being Appendicitis. She leaves
i father, mother, two little brothers
nd one sister and large number
nE relatives and friends to mourn
shgf death. Ali that loving hands
could do was done, but God order
ed It otherwise and daughter was
called home to await tho dear ones
left behind.
We had q little treasure once,
She was our joy anC pride,
loved her oh perhaps to well,
For soon she slept and died.
! i IS dark w1thin our dwelling,
lonely are our hearts to-day,
the one we loved so d arly,
! " IS fq1eyar passed away.
This lovely bud so young, 80 far,
Called hence by early doom,
just came to show how small a flower
In paradise would bloom.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
a place is vssca in our home,
Which never can be filled.
We'll hear no more her welcome voice
Or see her smiling face,
With her the angels now rejoice,
In song OF heavenly grace.
Yet there is hope of meeting,
Where the loved and lost ones dwell,
Where there is no painful parting,
Where there is no sad farewell.
The funeral services were held
at the u. B. Church and her body
was followed to it's last resting
place by large concourse of sor-
rowing relatives and friends and
inferred in the Mt. Carmal church
yard.
We extend 10 the bereaved our siu-
cere sympathy in this their great
aud irreparable loss.
