Letter to J J. Higgins

Dear Sir: We should like to set your
boys and girls at work on this question
in arithmetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs In
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are fed
in these three ways: first hog, on a
certain proportion of milk and cooked
cornmeal; second hog, on the same,
half water; third hog, on the same,
half water and sawdust. How long will
it take, how much will they weigh,
how much will they cost
And similar question In pigmentry.
That same farmer Is going to paint
three barns same size; and he says to
three painters: "What'lI you take to
paint that barn p
First painter scratches his head few
minutes and says: "I'll do it for $50. I"
Second painter: "$75."
Third painter: "$97.48
Will they each get barn to paint,
or one two, or one all three, or nobody
any; and what'll they make on the
iobH
That's about bow painting goes
sometimes.
But there is q way to reckon: SIS a
gallon The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's q
way out of that.
Buy the least gallons paint, Devoe.
No matter how much one buys; he re-
turns what's left: costs nothing.
Yours truly,
20 F. w. DEVOE & co.

served Decoration Day April %.
!, Our patriotism can be- measured b.
the respect we pay to the memory d
our dead heroes, and as the deeds 81
the Southern soldier have attracted
the attention OF the world, and made
! it great, 80 we should assemble once 8
year ct his last resting place and show
to the rising generation that their an
cestors were men that left their i'm.
press on the age in which the lived.
The day being threatening, the exer-
cises were held at the court house.
After the bugle call, while the band
played Dixie, the children, dressed in
white with red sashes, marched In
and took their places, singing sThe
Southern Girl" and waving their Com
federate flags.
The invocation was by Rev. w. NJ.
Brogan, and 1.-THE Old Coat OF Gray"
was beautifully recited by Miss Glenn
entine Miller and Miss Gertrude Rubel
Gang with fine effect "I'll be With You
When the Roses Bloom Again."
A brief outline of the U. D. O. work,
by Mrs. Jennie Tucker Buchanan,
President, proved very interesting.
The address Of the Rev. N. q. Au-
gustus was not only good, but very
good. 1t abounded in terse and cpl
gramatic sentences for which he is
noted. He thought il providence ever
made mistake it was in letting the
South be defeated, and drew q fine
picture Of what could have been ex-
pected of it under the ante bellum
regime. He had no patience with the
man who fought for its independence
and then would admit he was wrong.
The world had its German, French
men, and Irishmen, and we did not
want to be known as Americans along
with the great herd by that name, but
want it distinctly understood that we
were Southerners. The greatest
achievement of the Confederate soldier
was, after he had fought his battles,
won his victories, and came home to
find his former slave his master, to
conduct the government without train
ing or experience, and backed by the
bayonets of the U. 8. army-then 1t
was that he showed that he was in
vincible either in peace or war. The
training and self-control learned in
the army served him well In the try
ing period of reconstruction. He had
to wrest the state government from
this ignorant and vicious element
without bringing on second war with
the general government. The BLACKLIST
period in the history of the United
States was when they sought to hu-
initiate brave and generous foe,
whom they had promised to protect.
The presentation Of crosses by VIM.
Buchanan was touching, as the old
veteran came forward with faltering |
step to have his souvenir pinned on
his coat by Mrs. Edens, to remind him |
that his deeds were as imperishable as
the bronze Of which 1t was made.
"Tentin2 On The Old Camp Ground"
was sung, the benediction was pro-
nounced and all went away impressed
with the idea that the South, its homes,
It's women, and it's traditions were I'M
rivaled in all the earth. ]. M. H..

Mark Smith on Statehood
A St. Louis dispatch says:

A st. Louis dlSpatch says:
"Arizona and New Mexico will
have acknowledgements statehood.
Just as coon as they quit stacking
the committees on us in congress-"
emphatically declared Congression-
al Delegate Mark Smith, of the
former territory, at the Jefferson
hotel today
"Who's they!" repeated Mr..
Smith in reply TO question
"Why, those who are in control of
the situation in Washington. l
don't care to specify the names.
Uncle Joe Cannon has voted for, or
favored the admission of every ter
ritory that has wanted to come
into this union since he has heen
in congress-, until he came to us,
and some of the territories had
much less population than either
Arizona or New Mexico, too.
There's no real reason why we
should not be admitted, further
than there never has been a time
until in the last two years, that
there has not been a majority in
congress in favor of admitting US.
We simply are blocked in the COM
mittee. But perhaps President
Roosevelt and others will come
around to our way of thinking be-
fore the present administration
goes out.
eve have grand country down
there, and we need statehood to de-
velop it it. Whether a separate
statehood bill will be introduced in
congress at its next session depends
somewhat upon the complexion of
that congress and more especially
on the complexion of the commit
tees insofar as they effect our in
