PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants to % It, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer.

When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect, to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the sur
face--the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in
cludes a book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and a simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead key bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

Our merchants have large and varied
stocks, and you can get almost any
thing you want. 1t is expected the
rush will come this week. The eX-
press wagons are loaded down with
Xmas gifts, received and sent away.
The arrivals of packages of liquor from
Richmond. Baltimore, Alexandra and
Washington are heavy.
The decorations of our stores are
very elaborate. The windows are
beautiful and crowds gather to look at
the tempting things with which they are
filled. With good weather next week
we nope the sales of our merchants
will exceed those of last year.

SUE FOR INSURANCE
Virginia Shirt Company May Sue
Against Certain Companies

The Virginia Shirt Co.. through its
ATTORNEYS, Carter & Carter, will institute
suit in the Corporation court for
collection of insurance on their stock
and building. lately burned, to the
amount of $25, 600 against the following
companies, unless these companies set
tie when formal demand is made. FL
deity Of New York, 5000; Phoenix of
Hartford. $500; Queen $500; West
ern, 81, 500; Equitable, 81. 500; Niagara,
81, 500; Scottish Union. 81, 500. The
total insurance is $40, 500.
The companies interested who have
so far raised no objection to paying
their proportion of loss are: Springfield,
s., 600: National of Hartford, $1,000;
Pennsylvania, 81, 500; SeabOard, $4,000.
1t is particularly unfortunate that
this hitch should occur at this time IN
the payment of this insurance. One Of
the principal owners of the factory
states that the loss TO the company Is
not covered by the insurance and that
suit means the postponement Of the
rebuilding of the factory until the suits
are settled. This throws out of employ
ment about 100 girls for an indefinite
period. which entails great hardship
not only TO them, but to many who de-
pended on support from their wages.
1t is to be hoped the matter will be
settled in some way at an early date.

1T WAS TAG DAY
Good Sum Realized For Masonic
Memorial Temple Saturday.

Saturday was "Tag Day" for bene-
fit of George Washington Masonic
Memorial Temple to be built here.
While it was fun for the dozens of
pretty girls and ladies'. who did the tag
ging, it also added a goodly sum to the
Temple fund.
1t was impossible to escape being
tagged unless you hid in the garnet or
attic. Door bells were rung, offices
were visited, pedestrians, people in auto
mobiles, buggies and carriages were
stopped and had to give up. Main
street was the chief centre of attack.
Some gave as high as five dollars for a
tag, others a dollar many fifty and
twenty-five cents, while others changed
their money into dimes and nickels and
did not turn down any 'tagger and
were wearing a number of tags.
1t was your own fault, however, If
you wore more than one tag, rs II was

to buy more.
