Hon. B. G. Humphreys, has not been
idle regarding the interests of our

is to have a full rural route by April

was given this assurance at the post
office department, whittier he had
called to take the question up with
the postmaster general and the su-
perintendent Of rural routes. When
Mr.. Humphreys stated that the peo-
| pie of Holmes county were particu-
larly anxious to have the service in
operation by the time of the next
strawberry season, because of the
largely increased volume of business
conducted through the mails at that
time, he was assured that the service
would be installed by April l. Re-
representative Humphreys said that the
service would have been installed ere
this, but the reports and papers flee
in the case were held up for consid.
GRAFTON and investigation. There
will be no further delay, and the
service will be installed as stated
Mr.. Humphreys some time ago made
a personal inspection of the routes t.
be established.

Dear Sirs: Messrs. Leachman &

selling paint, which they thought
we'll Of; and this had occurred.
They had sold a customer Is gal
Ions of it to paint his house. A few
years later, they sold the same man
Devoe lead-and-zinc the same number
of gallons to paint the same house.
He had 7 gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II gal
Ions of Devoe paints an l8 gallon
house.
Do you want to sell it?
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does Ii gallons Devoe go as
far as Is gallons of other paint? Be,
cause it is all paint, all true, no sham
and full measure.
Do you want to sell it?
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts
longer. No. no; you haven't got tc
wait ten years to find that out. Ter
thousand people know it. We've got
their names. 0ur agents know them
they think a heap of Devoe. There,
no difficulty in showing your towns
people what to expect of Devoe. $l(
will paint SIS house; and the pain
will last twice as long.
Do you want to sell it?
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.,
