Two Good Jokes.

Rev. lvanhoe Robertson tells two
good Jokes on himself. Last winter
while travelling he bought new over
coat, and one day when he had to
take the train it was showing fast, and
in order to protect his new and pet
coat he put linen duster on over II.
AS he went on to the depot he was inn
pressed with the number Of people he
passed who were in broad grin, and
only when he remembered his linen
outfit in driving snowstorm did the
explanation come to him.
And the other On one Of the hot
test days of the past August he had to
20 from the hotel to another train, and
this time he had two well loaded grips
and a heavy winter overcoat. As both
Ina nds were running over with grips
no room was left for the heavy over
coat other than on his back, 50 he pull
ed it on aud of he started on that pip
ing hot August day. And the people
he passed laughed again.

Resignation Of a Veteran.

Mr. w. G.. Venabe resigned as Vice
President of the Planters Bank on last
Tuesday, and in SO doing severed a
business tie that had lasted for more
than four decades. He stood as spon-
sor on the birthday Of the institution
and during the past forty years has
been standing at the wheel guiding
and directing its movements through
calm and stormy seas. Never once
has suspicion attached to the manage
ment Of the bank and today there is
no smell Of smoke on its garments.
During all these years Mr.. Nenable
has been intimately associated with
the business interests Of Farmyille,
ever ready to aid with his practical
suggestions and his money. And he
was ever ready not only to respond to
the demands Of business but Of charity
as well. The people who have known
aud honored him will follow him into
new field of endeayor with their best
wishes.

Dear Sir: You manage men and ma

that one man IL worth more than an
other: that one machine is worth more
than another machine. Sometimes you

don't: sometimes the machine costs
more, sometimes it doesn't Ihediiier-
ence is, sometimes, two or three to one,
and costs not cent.
so with paint, and more too; the
paint that does best service makes a
less first cost Of the job-yOu eau paint
Devoe at less expense than the mean
est stuff you can get.
IL is like a good steady man, or ma
chine, but goodness and steadiness
have to be paid-for in men, in machines
not always, and never I'm paint. PANT
is cheap In proportion TO strength.
It's pure paint that Is steady anu
good: il is paint adulterated that Is
tricky. There is enough paint IN the
worst Of these mixtures TO look and
feel like paint, aud enough adulterant,
whiting, chida-clay, barytes, ground
stone, benzine, water To make two gal
Ions Of one.
There are eight pure paints IN th'
United States; we know Of no more
there are 200 adulterated. We analyz,
