Banziae ana watec dry-out IN few

harm. Those "pigments" don't dry
out; and perhaps they don't do much
harm.
Is taat what paint is for: not to do
much harm? Do you pay $ gallon
for paint and putting it on, not to 40
much harm?
Thelead zinc and oil in that "paint"
is a little less than half and the trash
is little more than half.
How many gallons, half trash and
half paint, will it take to paint a 10
gallon Job two coats? how many
coats. half trash and half paint, will
it take to coveri and what'N become
of those pigments not paint?
And reckon the costs; you can
roughly. Half trash, 20 gallons, s. a
gallon, 500; 10 gallons Devoe, $50.

Billy Felix's Letter.


With the approach of spring every
thing appears to take on new life and
vigor. The spring poet, the Easter
bonnet and the Merry Widow hat will
soon be much in evidence.
Our farmers are very busy, though
somewhat backward owing to the
cool, wet months just past. Early
corn is up to an excellent stand and
is doing well.
Wheat and oats are looking splen-
did and from present indications the
yield Will be good.
AS pen these lines, the air comes
to my nasal passages heavy laden
with rich perfumes Of violets and ver-
benas; the butterflies are fitting lazi-
ly about them; on the top of dis
tant apple tree with the appearance
of a bloom here and there is mock
ing bird gleefully warbling forth her
songs of melody and praise; on a
meadow across the way comes the
sound OF COW bell as the old family
COW with head down eagerly grazing
on the rye, all indicating that spring
is here once more.
A young doctor from our sister
town is much in evidence of late, at
tending his patients, and permit Billy
to predict, that from all appearances
the Doctor himself is suffering from
cardinal wound inflicted by tie love-
tipped arrow from the unerring aim
of sly little Cupid. I wish yon sue
cess, Doctor, and bid you God speed,
for "faint heart ne'er won a fair
lady,
Brother farmers, plant an abund-
ance of home supplies and less cotton
and we will all fare better next fall
and get more money for cotton.
There was double funeral service
here recently. The infant Of Mrs.
Alice Brown died here, and Mrs. +.
W. Hutto, of Augusta, whose remains
were brought here for burial. Rev.
Riddle conducted the services. Mrs.
Hutto leaves husband, four children
and a host of other relatives and
friends to mourn her departure.
G.. X. Batten, who has been here
since last November, has gone to Pc
tersburg, Va, to take a position with
his father in the motor car business.
Several of our neighbors have been
missing corn and peas recently and
two negro boys charged with the
thef have left for parts unknown.
= The ladies' aid society will give an
egg hunt on Friday afternoon before
Easter from 2 to s o'clock. Refresh
ments will be served also.
The Rev. Joab Edwards will deliver
an address before the ladies' aid soci-
ETY. next Saturday afternoon at three
O'Clock. On Sunday morning he will
preach in the church.
The bridge muddle, the county cut
of and Senator Crosson and "Critic"
are making things interesting now.
Go ahead, boys, and in the language
of "Old Speck." spread yourselves.
