Reuben Offers Advice.
Dear Mr.. Editor :

D6dE ME. EullOTs
again take my pen in hand to let
you know that we are as well as
common and hope these few lines
find you as common as we are. We
are mighty well pleased that the
county went so dry that it was al
most drought. We always had a
heap of confidence in the WHITE
voters of Putnam county and it has
not been misplaced. We believe
that our sheriff will pull the tail off
of the first Tiger that trys to do bus
mess in our county. And that the
dream of the liquor man that more
booze, and worse booze will be sold,
will not be realized. Anyway we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
no man sells drop with our con-
sent. Do you really think, Mr.. Edi-
tor, that the town consiI will have to
rent Lemon street for a pasture to
raise funds to pay off the police with?
[ hope not, altho good friend of
mine Ga liquor MANI told me he
thought they would have to-
Now Mr.. Editor, the worst feature
about this wet and dry business is,
we are apt to let it influence us in
voting for the different county Of
fees. We shouldn't lose sight of the
fact that there was good men on the
wet side-I don't mean men that
were in the saloon business, but men
who voted wet because they thought
that the best interests of the county
would be better served by the open
saloon. Now that we have won let's
be broad minded enough to admit
that we are all citizens of Putnam
county, and cut this wet and dry
business out of our next election.
We believe that our county clerk
should be kept in Office; he has al
ways done his duty as far as we
know. 1t is an office that few men
could step into without making q
mess of it. Mr.. Price has certainly
had experience, and that is what
counts in this office. SO we say keep
him where he is. Accept no substi-
tute. That fellow Beck better Beck
on Hutchinson to let's 60 because
they havn't got the Price. See!
As to our assessor and collector.
Well, if there is any poor devil who
has got more money than brains, let
him try to beat either one of them.
Our superintendent, "he's all right"
We just mention these now. We
will have something to say about
the rest later.
A fellow has just come and told us
that he saw hog down by the
branch marked swallow fork in one
year and under bit in tother, that's
ours, so we will have to go.
Yours It'll death,
REUBEN.

PLANS A FINE PLACE.
James c. Ray Will Fit Out
Elegant Ice Cream Parlor.

James G. Ray has about completed
plans for opening in this city an ice
cream, soda water, and confection-
ary establishment that will be Sec
ond to no other establishment of
the kind in the state.
The building on Lemon street so
long used by Thos. NJ. Ray for bar
purposes will be his location This
room is well-ftted for business of
this kind. The floor is already of
tile. 1t is Mr.. Rays plan to have
the interior artistically decorated
and the walls are to be u series of
the best mirrors. Other features of
the decorations will be in keeping.
On Wednesday Mr. Ray gave his
order for what, with one possible ex-
ception, is the largest and most ele-
CANT soda fountain in the south.
This fountain was designed especial
ly for Mr.. Ray by M. w. Venable,
southern manager for Robert M.
Green Il Sons, Philadelphia, and will
be exclusive.
The apparatus is known as Green's
Polar Counter Service, and embodies
every modern feature in soda foun-
tains. There are to be Is automatic
syrup pumps of the latest
pattern and two massive onyx draft
columns of Mexican onyx. The
counter is to be constructed of the
finest selected imported marbles and
genuine Mexican imported onyx.
The refrigerator base will be of Gu
ban mahogany and will have plate
glass doors. The wall fixture, or
superstructure, will be of original
design and will consist of selected
Cuban mahogany inlaid with loaded
art glass in rare and delicate colors
the supporting columns to be of mas
sive proportions, and of the finest
Mexican onyx.
The entire outfit has been gotten
up with scrupulous care as regards
quality and outside effects.
The soda water is to be automati-
,ally manufactured by modern ma
,hinery operated by water power.
Mr.. Ray expects to have his appa-
'atus installed and ready for service
1y the first of December.

LETTER TO II. R. ESTES,

Dear Sir: The wear of paint goes
by gallons; the less-gallons paint
wears longest. The reason, of course,
is its strength. 1t takes less gallons,
because it is strong; it wears a long
time, because it is strong. 1t is all
paint and the strongest paint.
There is a best paint among all
paint paints. No two are alike, of
course; no two cover alike or wear
alike. One is thin, another is thick !;
one has too much lead, another too
much zinc, another is right. The
right is Devoe, so far as is yet known.
Perhaps somebody-el will find-out
a better paint than Devoe; then De-
voc will become more-gallon paint,
a costlier paint, weaker paint, a
less-durable paint, less-economical
paint, timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have
come over the world. Devoe has the
lead; why shouldn't we lose it to
somebody-else?
Yours truly

chemist.

The chemist was not overjoyed
when he found how small the order
was for which he-had been so rudely
awakened from his slumber; but, tax
ing pity on the sufferer, he dressed
himself and went downstairs to sup
ply the much desired relief. While
measuring the drug he could not help
doing growl at the lad.
