DeVore has recently received the finishing stroke, ?under the inspiration of au artist's brush.

The likeness of Judge DeVore is perfect and life-like and those view ing the portrait fifty years from now will be enabled to see the face and features as truly portrayed as had they seen the original. The whole picture which is v jry large and enclosed in a handsome frame carries with it a dignity and value worthy of the artist and the sincere admiration of those who behold it. Hammond-Williams.
