C\, is no more She died on the 21st of December, but her heart stricken daughter * could not bring herself to write 1 lue of her great loss until a few ' days ago You will remember < Sybil Selkirk's sparkling letters < and little stories and tho strange, beautifui dreams of which she told us. Hero was a cheerful, loving spirit. She was a most affectionate mother?the friend and companion of her children. Her boy, who is in business in Atlanta had gone home unexpectedly for his Christmas holiday. She was' enjoying his vrsit ?bright, loreing and happy ? when she was seized with an intense pnin in the! back of her head. She suffered severely, medical skill ami t inder nursing doing all that. was possible for her relief. On the fourth (lay she roused from a stupor and talked intelligently and bright lv, but that night she relapsed, and boforo midnight she had passed away. Her daughter writes: ?'As 1 bent over her,her lips frnm cd the words,'Glory' and her face waH illumined as though she huv the glory beyond.'' Our deep regret for the loss of this dear friend and mom her of our Household family is mingled with the tenderest spmpathy for the husband, two stricken young daughters and sons, who mourn the loss of a devoted mother and a helpful inspiring friend.?Mrs Mary E Bryan in Sunny South Letter to H. N. Sowed. Lancaster, S. C. Dear Sir : A gallon saved is $1 or $5 earned. Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons in 10. How inuch is it worth a gallon ? A gallon savedsaves the painting too ; and both together cost $1 or $5 ? $4 where labor is cheap ; $5 where labor is dear. Our agents in {Bridgeport, Coon., Hubbell & Wade Co., tell us: "There are a great many workinpmen's houses here.? Thsy used to paint lead-and oil and take ten gallons. We have been selling them ton gallons Devoe lead-and-zinc, and have hftf) in niropn injlonnn * ? ' m_m v* | V T Vt j iiiovnuwO) I W U Ions returned." The proportion is often higher than that; we have Known it five in ten ; bur that it exceptional. This is the explanation : Devoe is ground by machinery, and is ground fine ; lead-and-oil is mixed by hand, and isn't ground at all. Yours truly, 30 F. W. Dkvor & Co.

At Augusta, when I spoke or March 1st, 1 had as representa tivc a body of farmers and bu?i noss men as ever gathered iu th< Stale of Georgia.
