The New M. P. Preacher.

The Delta (Pa.) HcrdH of recent
date contained the following communi-
cation regarding the passionate of Rev.
l.. A. Bennett, who has been appointed
pastor of Bates Memorial NJ. 7. Church
of Snow Hill
On last Saturday, March 3lst at the
adjourned Quarterly Conference. held
in Fawn Grove NJ. p. Church. our well
beloved and faithful pastor Rev. l.. A.
Bennett, resigned as pastor of that
circuit to take up pastoral work on
other fields of labor. His resignation
was a sad surprise to hundreds of his
kind and appreciative members who
have stood loyalty by him during his
two years sojourn among us.
Brother Bennett has been a man of
mark wherever his lot has been east
during the years of his pastoral labors.
God has wonderfully used him in build
ing churches, also in repairing and beau
tifying them, wherein many have been
converted to God under his preaching.
During the past two years over two
hundred have accepted Christ, and
united with the churches of which he
was pastor. Most of them were adults.
Truly for one to visit the three churches
that comprise the circuit which are
Fawn Grove, Mt. Olivet. st. Paul,
would be sufficient to convince any one
of his faithfulness. love and consecra-
ton to God and the people whom he
has served.
The modern brick structure which was
commenced by his predecessor. Rev. j.
McLane Brown, has been completed
and dedicated during his labors with us
at Fawn Grove. while he has repaired
both st. Paul and Mt. Olivet at the
cost of hundreds of dollars.

Letter To Loire Wilson. Snow Hill. Md.

Dear Sir: People ask how many
square feet a gallon will cover. De-
ponds on condition of building.
There is great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints
is 300 square feet. two coats. It's a
lie. as a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500. our agents
think. We think 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless. they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another compar-
ison. DevOe is all paint. true paint,
strong paint. and full-measure; the
Others in general are at the best, diluted
adulterated and short-measure. They
cover according to body and measure.
You can't paint with clay lime chalk
sand barytes water or air. no body in
them. Go buy Devoe.
Yours truly.

County Commissioners Andrews and
Stewart, of this county, will be amolg
those who attend the Good Roads Con.
vention, which convenes in Tallahas-
see on the 18th. The county does not
defray the expenses of the members,
but inasmuch as the convention is this
year being hell so near to Pensacola
both thought it we'll to be in attend
ance, not only to gain all the expert
ence possible in road building, but to
give West Florida a good representa-
ton. 1t is possible that the road sd
perintendent will also be in attend
ance.
Commissioner Andrews, who is a
firm believer in conventions of this
nature, in speaking of the matter yes
terday said that he had never attend
ed but one Good Roads Convention,
and that was last year, but the expert
ence he had obtained there on road
building had been of vast advantage
ID him in assisting in the conduct Of
the county's work, and he believes that
every county should have representa-
ton
Commissioner Andrews says that
Tallahassee was named as the meeting
place because it was the desire to
have it meet each year in different
parts of the state. and that-the COM
missiOneTs of every county in West
Florida should be in attendance. Road
building machinery of every discrp-
ton is exhibited, and practical road
builders are present and make talks
uTon the building of roads from the
various soils that are available in
whatever section a road is being built.
Commissioners from all over the state
relate their experiences in making
roads out of whatever material may
be at hand, and from all of this a COM;
missioner can CLEAN considerable
knowledge Of road building.
The local board did not make any
this year as in former
years to defray the expenses of any of
the commissioners, but Messrs. An
drews and Stewart have decided toi
make the trip at their own expense,
believing that it will be money and
time we'll spent. Both hope to see
many commissioners from other coUn-
ties in West Florida there, and from
what they have heard, there will be !
a good representation of the counties /
west of the river.

saw him until some months later when

purposely sharpened, and laid them in

ORIGIN of mChnnnenr., },

There were chauffeurs long before
automobiles. History tells us that
about the year 1875 men strangely ac-
coutered, their faces covered with SCOT
and their eyes carefully disguised, en-
tered by night farms and lonely habl-
tations and committed all sorts Of dep
relations. They garrOted their VIC
tins, dragged them before a great fire,
where they burned the soles. Of their
feet and demanded information as to
the whereabouts Of their money and
jewels; hence they were called "chauf-
feurs," a name which frightened so

HOUSEKEEPING IN CHINA.

Excepting house in China is &C.
ightful," said the wife of an Amer
lean army officer who has just re-
turned from the far east. owe had
a lovely little house in Tientsin.
There you never hear any talk about
the servant problem, and you don't
have to keep a continual watch on
the want columns of the newspa-
pers for fear your hired girl will
leave you suddenly" The truth is,
however, that your ''hired girT' is
really boy, for very few Chinese
women do any work outside of their
own homes. Instead boys, ranging
from ten to eighteen years, take
their places and make simply ideal
servants. They may be hired for
almost nothing, so that most for.
eigners have anywhere from six to
eight employees about the house.
One of these is promoted to the po-
sition of "butler," and he is the only
one with whom you have any direct
dealings. All your orders 90 to him,
which certainly simplifes the house
keeping for the mistress. This but
Ter is the responsible head of the
domestic staff and can be depended
upon to take care of everything and
to get the proper amount of work
out of the other servants.-Interior
