Letter to A. II. ELLIOTT.


Dear Sir AS your business Is to
get people out Of trouble, suppose you
consider their paint; 1t makes 'em al
most as much trouble as money, ex.
cept OF course matrimony.
They buy good paint good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without thinking.
Bad paint isn't good. II looks good
enough for year; then begins to get
rusty; but changes SO slowly. one don't
notice II.
Looking isn't all. The business OF
paint is to keep house dry inside. the
wood and iron OF It; keep It from rot.
ting and rusting. Takes good paint
20 do II.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all; as with lawyers. the
price has nothing to do with goodness
or badness; and coSts are worse yet:
the painter and shorlff comein for
their share.
But the probability Is that man
who palma Deyoe. will comeout on
top. Your truly

When requested for such prescrip.

A POEM
Written In Honor Of the sixtIeth Wed.
ding Anniversary Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Danner.

The following verses were written
by Mrs. Alice Danner Jones and read
on the occasion of the Goth wedding
anniversary Of her father and mother
Mr.. and Mrs. John Danner.
Poets have written of lady and knight
Written the tender romances of old,
But who the beautiful story of love
OF John and Teresa, has ever told
The story beginning when life was
young.
When hearts we're hopeful and love
was sweet,
The story whose ending will never
come
Till cycles of time and eternity meet.
For John and Teresa are lovers still
Though backs are bending and heads
are grey,
Tho dimples and frills and coquetry's
arts,
Belong TO the things of yesterday.
Bordering paths from the long ago
Old friends are sleeping on either side,
And God has been good whose love has
spared
The white-haired groom and the sweet.
faced bride.
John and Teresa. your children stand
Before you in reverence deep and true,
For all that we are or may hope to be
We owe to the beautiful teachings OF
you.
When childish troubles seemed too
great
To you for comforting we came.
And now when cares maturer vex
We find that still we do the same.
John and Teresa. the world today
Holier throbs for work you have done,
And gentler for you humanlty's hand
Deals with the erring and sorrowins
one.
Unselfshly thoughtful you little may
know
How loved by your friends and hon.
ored are both.
How hundreds, rejoicing, are standing
today.
Pledged fondly to you In friendships
troth.
John and Teresa, tho sixty years
Have passed since wedding bells were
rung,
Loves anthems now hold deeper tones
Than those light hearted lovers sung;
For chords and trills and needed rests
And even minor notes OF pain
Form one complete harmonious whole
Fit prelude to an angels strain.
John and Teresa, tho Oft you speak
OF other lands SO wondrous fair,
Yet we still need your guidance here,
And heaven Is full without you there.
No prouder children ever stood
Than we who call you parents" stand.
While better home than you have
made
Holds not Americas fair land.
John and Teresa, TO you both
We drink In water pure and clear;
Bright days, rich hopes and memories
sweet
Make better every passing year.
May those you've helped their trophies
bring
OF love. and lay them at your feet;
Full haryests CLEANED from rlpened
fields
Where your hands sowed the grains OF
wheat.

Railroad Rates.

Mr.. w. Z, Beyill general passenger
agent Of the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way Company, testified before the Cor.
poration Commission yesterday that the
Virginia system would lose a great deal
OF money If fiat two-cent rate should
be enforced.
The Lynchburg News thinks otherwise
IT says that the merchant often makes
more actual profit by cheapening the
price, for the reason that, although a
less amount OF gain Is realized per article
al the lower charge. yet so much larger
Is the volume Of sales as result of tina,
lower charge that in the long run it
Is found to be greater source and a
more certain source of money-makIne

arguments is that II tho railroads IL

Taxing Bachelors.

A bill has been introduced In the IN

bachelors ranging from $500 to $1,000
on each and every unmarried man over
twenty-five years Of age. Exception is
made In case of bachelors who are the
sole support of widowed mothers. but
divorced. men are not exempt. as they
are under bill to the same purport re-
Gently presented in the Illinois Legisla-
ture.
The late Alexander Mcdonald, OF
Lynchburg, who was for years a men,
Der of the Virginia State Senate. and
who was himself bachelor, endeavored
more than once to have such a law en-
acted in Virginia. When his bill was
first introduced 1t was supposed 10 be
an editors joke, but Senator Mcdonald
soon let 1t be understood that he was
entirely serious. and he made strong
argument in behalf OF his pet measure.
In spite OF his efforts, however, the bill
was never passed, and after an honora-
BILE and useful career Senator Mcdonald
died an untaxod bachelor.
