Letter to e. T. Daugherty.
Accomac, Va

Dear sir:-The hardest climate for
paint is Florida; and Devoe Is the
longest wearing paint in that state.
D. q. Smith, of Madison, Fla, says:
81 painted my mothers house Devoe
II years ago, aud today it looks bet
ter than other houses in town that
we're painted with other paint 3 or 4
wears ago" Three or four and eleven.
This shows two things: a. the low
standard of paint in that part OF the
country; and (2) that Devoe Is the
paint that wears.
1t doesn't show the whole fact;
which is: Devoe is the paint that takes
least gallons to do the job, makes first
cost by a ratio of 2 to 3, 2 to 4, to o.
2 to 6, for the job.
Smith wasn't thinking about the
cost of the job; it was done long
time ago. He was thinking how well
the house looks after II years wear IN
that hot climate, and how long it Will
be before painting again.
II Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co.

Tn fond remembrance of Maize f.
Bull. little daughter of Edward and
Ida Bull. who died February %. 1908,
of pneumonia, and bronchitis, aged 8
years and months.
Darling Maize, we do miss you so,
All through the day wherever we go, =.
All through the night how lonely II
seems,
For no little hands to wake us out
of our dreams.
we miss you all through the weary
| hours,
! We miss you as others do sunshine
and flowers,
Daytime or nighttime wherever we
go,
Dear little Maize, we miss you 80.
Those little lips so sweet to kiss,
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone SO
bright,
Beneath that pearly brow,
That little heart that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloom,
Are hidden now from those she loved,
Beneath the silent tomb.
There was an angel band in heaven
That was not quite complete,
SO God took our darling Maize,
TO fill the vacant seat.
Precious darling we will meet you,
We will meet you by and by,
In that land where there's no parting
We will never say good-by.
Two little angels now on high,
They hand in hand together roam,
Two links now bind us to the sky,
Two fingers beckon us to come.
Lord give us strength our loss to bear
And lead us in the heavenly way,
Oh! May we meet our children there
In REALMS of everlasting day.

A message received a ten O'Clock at
the general offices OF the Norfolk &
Western railway in this city says that
IA men have been taken out of the

miners were at work in the mine
when the explosion occurred and that

The rescue work is very slow. The
damage to the mine is reported to be

not yet been determined as the res

trouble.
Norfolk & Western headquarters
here say that owing to the fact that
miners arc taking holiday this week
n large numbers it is not likely that
more than fifty or sixty men were at
work in this particular mine at the
time of the explosion. which occurred
about four O'Clock in the afternoon.
It is stated that the Lick Branch

and father OF Capt. Adrian c. Arson,
lies in an unmarked grave in River
side cemetery 2 .
Because of misunderstanding be-
tween Horace Arson. brother of the
late Henry Arson, and his nephew,
Capt. Adrian G. Arson the tombstone
remains unclaimed. Captain Anson,i it
is said, understood his uncle to say
that he would bear half of the ex-
pense of erecting the monument.
Cap Arson went ahead ordered a
stone costing $500, and had it ship
ped here, and = man was sent out to
set it up. Horace Arson had never
been consulted about the purchase or
the cost, and refused TO have anything
to do with it. The result was that the
monument still lies as 1t was received.
It is more than likely that some pub.
lie movement viii be started to secure
the monument and erect it on the An.
son family lot. This action would be
timely in view of what AnSou has done

one OF the earliest settlers of this

Italians who have settled here, fully
100000 are from the stricken districts.
