Dear sirs. Would you rather have your
customers speak ofyour shoes as wearing we'll
as not running down at the heel. as turning
water, and taking shine; or wag their heads
and say nothing?
We'd rather have olrs, at long intervals,
say: 1--WE want some more paint, and we
want Devoe." We know it isn't in hum' n
nature to paint very often; we don't expect
them 10 come very often; don't want 'em to.
All we want is to paint what thew have to
paint, when yer they paint it; the longer the
time, the surtr they. are to comeback.
There's business enough in the world; there
are houses enough to paint; let 'em AXE their
time.
II we we're a s. oemaker, we'd make shoes
to last half lifetime, and shoe the whole
town.
Yours truly

TREES ON THE TRACKS.
Decaturs Were on Edge ee the severs
 storm

4t0rms
 Decatur, Oct Especial. --Re- ports received here this morning show that the Decaturs were only in the edge of the storm which swept oycr this portion of the State last night.
 From these reports 1t seems that the heaviest part of the storm was west and north of Decatur and that after crossing the Tennessee River and traveling some miles northward it changed its course to the south and struck Huntsville and that section of the State.
 It is reported here this morning that the storm was heavy at and near Court land, nineteen miles west of Decatur It is said that few houses were blown down in the neighborhood of Courtland. Telephone communication Is cut off from Courtland.
 A few miles north of here. between here and Athens. several large trees were blown across the track of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Many trees west of Decatur were blown down and fences destroyed.
 In the Deca urs many window glass were broken by the hall. which was one of the most terric hail. storms that has ever visited this section< of the State. A few miles west of Decatur the hall stones were as large as hen's eggs and several head of cattle and hogs were beaten to death by the hail
 In some portions of this section Of country the cotton was almost ruined by being beaten down by haA stones and the lint is scattered all over the fields.
 So far ae can be learned there were no deaths from the storm sEiear the De- caturs. but the loss to the cotton crop and the loss of livestock killed will amount to considerable, 1t being im- possible to estimate the loss. aa
