In all the meeting WIS characterized by a
most fair and temperate feeling
Mr.. Mccullough declared that one reason
for the proposed legislation for annexation
without a vote was that the city officials
would naturally favor the retention OF the
government here and would not grant fair
ness In the elections. This was clearly
evidenced from the fact that the council
at one OF its last meetings had called a
mass meeting OF the citizens not to dis
ouss the question Of annexation, but TO
oppose II. Therefore, that meeting was

The Anti-Saloon Man.

DR.. s. A. Smith. of New Orleans,
of the Louisiana Anti
Saloon League, delivered an address
in the Colfax NJ. E. Church last Mon
day night. Owing to the inrlemency
of the weather only about thirty per-
sons were present, hut all who attend
ed felt amply repaid for Drawing the
elements. The Doctor is an ener-
getic and forceful talker. and what
he knows about the iufamy of the
whisky business is stated with such
vigor and truthful application as to
strike terror TO the advocates OF the
whisky traffic, and non-plus the weak
lings who think the State and the
municipalities need any of the rev.
enues derived from this nefariOus
source. All persons interested in
temperance and good government
should hear the Doctor.

Dear Sir: II we sell Devoe to paint
your town. your road won't have
so much freight to handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint a fair
size house. and that house won't
want painting again for 8 or 10 years.
That's true in n way; but people.
you know, rather like fresh paint,
and they paint for nothing but
looks sometimes.
That house would take IL or IL
gallons Of almost any other paint
than Devoe, and would have to be
painted again i'm half that time. Ten
years IL a very long time for a paint
to wear; and five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight, a II
or U-gallon paint? or 10 year
paint? But the l0-gallun paint is the
lO-year paint; and the 70 gallon paint
| is the 5-year paint. Which makes the
most freight?
Ask your paint-dealer. which he'd
rather sell. and which he could sci
nest of. Ask your painter which
he'd rather paint; whether good oI
bal paint IL good for his business
" hich il good paint. the 10 or 15gal
Ion paint; which pays the most
freight. and W hich pays most freight
and " hich pays most wages. Which
will you buy yourself, the lO-gallOr
