Desponde Farmer Suicides.

Peter Sears, aged about as, farmer
who lives in the east part of the town
of Starksboro, committed suicide at his
home Tuesday morning by shooting
himself in the head with a shotgun,
blowing the top of his head to pieces.
His wife was out in the yard feed
ing the chickens and heard the report
of the gun. She rushed back into the
house and found her husband dead by
the stove. During the past year Mr..
Sears's mind had been deranged at
times. He leaves wife, brother
John of Starksboro, also a sister who
resides in Ferrisburg.

Better Paint

Better paint this year if your property
needs it. Mistaken men have been wait
ing for paint TO come down. The cost
of their job has gone-up not down; it
always goes up by waiting never comes
down.
Better paint than Devoe? there isn't
any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 80 years
ago for better paint than Devoe; how
long would he have waited? how long
would he still have to wait?
The price gallon makes some differ
ence; yes, but not much; its the paint
that counts; the quality counts.
It's the go-far that counts. Protection
of property counts more yet.
