LETTER TO GEO. H.ERUcKER.
Alexandra Va.

Dear Sir: But few tf the men who sell
the hundred different paints in the market
know much about them. All Devoe agents
have state chemists certificate telling just
what it's made of; they know good deal, NOT
only about Devoe but the rest; we see that
they do. We buy every paint, that has any
sale, and apslyze it. Our agent finds out ell
about it.
When we know what paint is made-of
we know how it will act; we know how far II
goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100. The best
of the rest is about 70; the worst about 70
the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them. don't know
any better. They know what the maker tell
them. That is: they know that he tell
them. They don't know whether he tell
them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on know
ledge; the less they know, the more comfort
able they are.
Yours truly

Hufty swore out warrants for Wilson

to Washington.

Lewis w. Tim, state senator from
st. Johns county, being the thirty
first district, has announced his can
didacy for congress. He enters the
list against Congressman Frank Clarl,
in the second congressional district,
and thus disappoints the hopes Of
those who have claimed that no one
would oppose the latter. Mr.. Zim has
won for himself a high reputation on
the east coast, in fact, throughout the
entire state, by his probity of charac-
ter, his bright mentality and an exhi-
bition of real craftsmanship while in
Office. He has an unusual number of
warm personal friends who will GER
tainly work hard for his success ana
he will lead Clark a lively race with
an excellent chance to beat his rival
to the goal.-Pensacola Journal.

In the solid rock of the hillside will
be built this magnificent tribute to
the inventor of the steamboat. View

expected to be without a peer in the

The background of this marble
structure will contain world-famous
buildings. Grants Tomb, Columbia

Divine, and other SUPERB edif1ces are
included in the rich setting. Across
the river tower the historic Palisades,
famed for their grandeur.
The enthusiasm of the men who are
planning this costly work is attested
by the fact that $4,000 for prelimi-
