Letter to W. j. Berry,
Bennington, Vt.

bennington, VI.
Dear Sir: Here's a tale with point
to 1t. Florida is the hardest state in
the union for paint
Gilmore & Davis Co., Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint
can do in their climate; they've been
painting for 35 years, Devoe ten years,
and they say Devoe wears 10 years
their words are: Buildings we paint
ed Devoe 10 years ago are in good con-
dition Of paint today"
They also say lead-and-oil wears on
ly one year there; Devoe 10 years!
Ten years is a long lifetime for
paint in Florida; longer than 20 In
Maine. We don't dare say that either
is true as a general fact in those
states; but there are such instances.
II we should call the cost OF Devoe
in Florida half of the usual cost of
paint itwouldbe toomuch; We suppose
it's about one-third; there Is so much
trash there-the costliest paint Is the
worst, and the worst is the costliest
everywhere.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & co.
P. s. d. A. Ward sells our paint.

A WORD FOR THE DANpIEs.
Fine Clothes and Brave Hearts q Most
Effective Combination.

One Is sorry for the handles Of our
day, because, though their clothes at
ever so well. and are ever so fresh,
custom prescribes dark or subfusk
hue. and no lace. no velvet (above all.
not on coat collars); no slashes. puffs
and vandykings; no pearls and gold;
no gules and azure. The common
trousers are shapeless things. and, for
perfection. you need two pairs every
lay. Genius Is stunted. display is
checked. and, though you may wear
brilliant hose with knickerbockers In
The country. glorious waistcoats are
rarely seen except in the windows Of
tailors' shops at Oxford and Cam
bridge. The dandy can only cultivate
immaculate neatness and perfection
Of fit. Our officers at Ladysmith, when
the place was relieved. looked like
skeletons. but were as spruce and
neat, have been told, as ever they
showed in the park. They cultivated
self-respect. like Stendhal. the cole
brated novelist, who was said to have
been the only man that shaved every
day In the dreadful winter retreat
from Moscow. This is the dandyism
which we admire. the perfection Of

Mr. Martin is positive that 1t would be impossible to build a stronger levee than the one he has about completed. From forty to SeVenty-fiVe teams and three times as many men have been con- stantly employed on this work
 giving the men whose crops were ruined a chance for employment
 A close investigation leads one to believe that the levee board has done it's work in most faithful and thorough manner an dtoi them the property own CTS surely ought to be most grate full. The board is composed of Dr. II. l. .B'Shers WhC is president ; J. B. Shuts as vice-president ; Charles Schwartz secretary; J. ]. Battle treasurer and Henry Cox. The board are representa- i've business men who know they are surrounded by the richest land on earth, and they have prov ed their faith by investments of thousands of dollars in this soil and have taken thousands from their own pockets to improve their farms and benefit the pub lie generally, There seems no good reason why the government should not assist them by taking up the work where they have left off for no better investment could possibly be made
