Nearly all the watch signs, probab-

set at 8:18, but comparatively few
people know why this is. 1t is no ac-
cident. w. X. Washburn, of New
York, was painting sign for a
ieweler of that city, when the news of
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,
April 4, 1865, was received in New
York and the jeweler ordered the
clock painted the exact time when the
fatal shot was fired, namely 8:18, and
so it has continued ever since. When
ever you see sign after this recall
to yourself that it points to the fatal
moment.
No need suffering any more with

lieve you, they will pay for it them
selves.-Advertise
