Not Paint

The worst mistake in painting is not putting of. That costs about 10 per cent; you keep your money year and pay 10 percent for 1t.
 Paint would have to come-down 9 percent to make 10 per cent on the job, for wages do not go down.
 The worst mistake is "cheap" paint. |, costs from 50 percent to 100, first cost, and another in wear.
 What liar "cheap" Is! "Putofi" Is bsd-enough; "cheap" is ten times worse.

After taking Antwerp and
Ostend, the German forces pro
Ceeded with little or no opposi
ton as far as Nieuport on the
User Canal. Here they found
against them the reformed
Belgian army as well as an
entilading fire from British mon
ltors and they were unable TO
make progress. Food then
completed the discontinue Of
the invaders and they commenC-
ed an effort to break through the
Allied line between Dixmude
and Ypres.
The Germans have had one or
two mlnOr-sOmelimcS only
temporary-SuCCcSScS, such as
the crossing Of the canal and the
capture Of DiXmudc, but now,
according to official and other
reports, while they hold a part
OF DlXmude, they are back on
the east side of the canal and
again have slackcned their
attacks.
The weather, which has been

Kidnapped For Twenty Years

L &C DCC NuNOCltc
While at the depot looking for
news items last Saturday after
noon, an Advocate reporter
found Tins Gaddy, and in a
brief interview before the train
left, obtained some interesting
information about Mr.. Gaddy's
career. He said that when he
was an eightyear-old hoy, in the
lower part of this county, e
years ago, he went with some
other boys to a show at Clio.
There he was kidnapped by Jeff
Williams and taken to his home
in Randolph county. N. Z. The
family made every effort to find
him, but failed.
He remained with Williams
till after he was 2l and then he
went to Thompson, Ga, where
he went to work in a cotton mill
eight years as a weaver. A few
days ago he decided to come
back to Marlboro and try to find
MS relatives. At Columbia he
met up with Jasper T. Esterling,
who was deputy sheriff here I'm
der Sheriff B. A. Rogers when
Gaddy was taken from Clio.
MIR. Easterling is now a magis-
trate in Columbia. He gave
Gaddy a letter of introduction TO
James f. McGilvrav of Clio.
He arrived at Clio Friday, Oct.
10, and Mr.. McGilvary helped
him locate his living relatives.
He found that his father, George
Gaddy, was gored to death by a
bull a number of years ago. He
found a brother, a sister, and
several other relatives.
When seen here Saturday, Mr..
Gaddy was on his way to Oar
lIn9ton, where he had secured a
part of the Codnty, came up on
the noon train from Drake and
saw her brother for little while
for the first time since he so
mySteriously disappeared 26

Storm Interferes With Armies

London, Nov.l5.-Afler iour
weeks of most desperate fight
ing there is a lull in the battle in
Flanders.
Little relief however, had come
for the men in the trenches, as
the artillery and rifle fire has
been replaced by a severe Nov
ember storm.
In some parts of England the
storm has become a blizzard; on
the sea heavy gale RACES, and
the baltielields are getting their
full share of wind and rain.
For the most part the opposing
armies have been content TO shell
each other at long range, but
the Germans have made several
attacks around IprcS, which aC-
cOrding TO the French general
staff, have been rcpulScd with
heavy losses.
Extensive defense works have
been erected along the User
Canal and the French armies are
holding that line from the Bel
