The stock claim of lying paints Is 3J0 square feet, two coats. It's a lie, as a rule. Devoecovers300 to 500, our agents think. Wethlnk 300 too low and 600 too high; though doubtlesR. they both occur. How much the other paints cover is equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400. The truth Is found in another comparison. Devoe Is all palut, true paint, strong paint, and full-measure; tbe others in general are, at tbe be6t. dilated, adulterated and shortmeasure. They cover according to body and measure. You an't paint with clay lime chalk sand barytes water or air?no body In them. Go by Devoe. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. P. B. Speed sells our paint.

We met a big farmer at the flatwoods a few days ago, who said, "Mack, I am feeling good^ and it would do you gooa xo pee my oaras an 7,a stuffed with fodder, hay, clover and sorghum," and as he ended bin nloe little speech, ti bright smile lit up hie face, and we really believe hp did feelgood. Many other* are feeling good over the same cause or result. Some of the farmers are building new barns 11I ready, wherein to store their provender. Well filled barns present a plcturo of peace and plenty, and make life down on the farm worth living. ? DOINGS AND SAYINGS ON ROUTE 8. t . - y-M Miflfl AddIc M.
