letter to John Nash.

Bennington, Vt.
Dear Sir; We make Devoe, and OF
course know what there is in it; but
you don't, your neighbors don't, and
the people don't. So We get the Off
cial chemist of every state in the un.
ion to analyze 1t and tell what he
finds; OF course, they find what we
put in; lead zinc and oil, a little tur-
pentine dryer, and color for tints,
And that's paint Every agent has
the analysis Of Deyoe by his state
chemist.
We also analyze all other paints,
and what do we find?
We find eight made Of the same ma.
terials as Devoe; all paint; pure paint.
But we find no one of the same pro
portions as Devoe; no one so strong.
And people are trying Devoe along
side of these other paints and finding
out how they work; what II costs to
paint Deyoe; what II costs to paint
several paints; how they wear along
side and comparatively
There's no guess-work in any of
these results. A gallon Deyoe goes
further than any other gallon in all
paint; it therefore saves both parts
of first cost of job, of paint and Ia
Dor. It makes the best job Of the
lot. besides. II takes years and ex-
periences by the thousand to find that
out.
Yours truly,

SEVERAL GRANTS.
Witnesses Explain Some Things
About Reelfoot Lake.

The joint legislative committee re-
summed its labors in the Reelfoot Lake
investigation Tuesday morning by re-
calling S. F. Howard and introducing a
complete map Of the lake, showing the
lake in its completeness. The drawing
shows the main lake to be fourteen
miles long and about six miles wide at
the widest point, about one mile wide at
its narrowest point. The widest point
is at Samburg. Witness Howard point
ed out the four Daugherty claims as
shown on the map, He had never sur
yeyed the Caldwell grants and could not
locate them. He had been on Starye
Island and said that it contains about
five acres, Green Island about five to
ten acres Chalk Island about four or
five acres. There is no understandable
timber on either of the islands nor did
he think that either of the islands could
be cultivated. He said Horse Island
may have some land that would do for
but that is more of a PENN
sula than an island. About one-half
of the lake lies in Lake County. The
deepest water in the lake is in Blue
Basin, Lake County, where it is about
sixteen to seventeen feet deep in low
water mark. Mr. Howard also located
the various grants of land adjacent to
the lake about which this contention
exists. Mr.. Mosier closed his evidence
for the present and Col. Taylor, for the
land company, took the stand, an
that it was not prepared to
submit proposition of sale at this
time but would before the committee
their work here. Col. Tay-
Tor presented colored map showing
the State line, county line and COM
plete boundary of all the grants as
claimed by the land company, under
he grants of Daugherty, Caldwell and
