With envy in his eye.

And lesser nerve confessed.

LETTER TO J. W. TUCKER.
Smyrna Del.

Dear Sir: 1t is a great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale Gin
his region, of course) of anything
wanted by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up aud
make big profit. The other way is:
be fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money a house,
a Job, a year, a lifetime-no matter
how you reckon your costs, except by
the gallon-Devoe Is the best care
taker and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part
of the cost of paint is putting it on.
Less gallons, less cost. Don't forget
that another principal part of economy
is long wear; less gallons, less cost
aud long wear.
1t is a great thing to have the ex
culsive sale of popular goods, of goods
that make friends, of goods that enrich
boih buyer and seller. Devoe is per
haps only ten per cent better than one
or two others; but ten is plenty--it's
200 or 300 better than many.
There's many a merchant who hasn'
found-out his goods. 1t dosen't take
man long to find-out that Devoe is thu
least-money paint and why, DO matte
which side he is on.
Yours truly

CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured q 20 Years Trouble Without any
 Medicine.

A wise Ind. physician cured a 20- years stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells:
 T had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried doctors medicines, patent medi- cines and all simple remedies suggest ed by my friends, but grew worse all the time.
 Finally, a doctor, who is the most prominent physician in this part of the State, told me medicine would do me no good only itritate my stomach and make 1t worse-that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
 T cried out In alarm. Quit drinking CoffeeP why. What will I drinkY
 "'Try Postum,' said the doctor. T drink it and you will like it when 1t is made according to directions, and served with cream. for 1t Is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has
 ''Well that was over two years ago and am still drinking Postum. My stomach is right again and l know Doctor hit the nail on the head when he decided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish l had quit 1t years ago and drank Postum in its place"
 Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders. '"rheres a Reason"

FAIR GROUNDS SITE
LOCATION OFFERED GULF COAST
 ASSOCIATION.
1t is Four Miles From Mobile and on Twi Creeks--Omcers Look Over Grounds and are
 Pleased.

Mobile Juno 4.-(Special) .-Ac- cording to information given out to- day. officers of the Gulf Coast Tropical Fair Association of Mobile have been offered one of the prettiest sites in this section for the fair grounds and race track of. the Association.
 There are 120 acres in the plot, and it is located west of the city. and ex- actly four and a half miles from the court house. That the track of land will be purchased some of the ofi- cers have every reason to believe. It is ideally located on the street railway system, and both the lines of the Mo bile and Bay-Shore and the Mobile. Jackson and Kansas City Railroads. Moffat road, an excellent country drive way, passes alongside the property. and 1t Is located near the truck farm ing district of the county. Two creeks ass through the property, which will afford water sports.
 President Harry Hartwell, Vice Pres ident Inge, Grimley, Wefel, Gibboney, and McBride, and Secretary Colsson. accompanied by c. c. Mechem. made an inspection of the grounds yesterday, and they expressed themselves as de- lighted with the tract. It is twenty four feet above the level of the creek, and possesses an excellent natural drain. It is, to @ certain extent. clay soiL very level, which will permit of an excellent mile race track. There is just a sufficient amount of timber up- on the land to make 1t picturesque.
 The price quoted for the property was regarded as reasonable. An en- gineer has been engaged to go over the land and will make a survey tomor- row. Following his report, the site will be brought to the attention of the board of directors of the Association and action will be taken.
