The SuD-Flower Carnival in Colnmbia next week from Tuesday to I Saturday, promises to be on a very 1 elaborate scale, as no expanse has been spared to make it so. Doubtless many Lexingtonians will be there to ei j >y the fun and take ad vantage of the low prices the merchants are r ftWiug on poods for that 1 occasion. Visit the capital city next ! week and you will not regret it. Lexington does not owe a dollar ; of indebtedness for any purpose whatever notwithstanding she has made many permanent internal improvements most noticeable among them is her roads, some of which will now compare favorably with those of many of her more pretentious sister counties. Her educational system has been vastly imDroved and the standard of her A public schools elevated, all of which has been accomplished on a cash basis. Other counties have been compelled to anticipate the fall col lection of taxes by borrowing money to meet current expenses and keep things moving. Hurrah, for the grand old county of Lexington.

Here it is: The cheapest thiDg there is in the way of a good looking job?say nothing about its being good?is Devot; the regu lar thing in Devoe. The reason it: Devoe goes further than anything else Lead andoil is good-looking; don't go so far and costs more than Devoe. Devoe cost least of all; you don't mind its lasting longer, do you? We can't help it; a paint that goes further lasts longer; we can't help it. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. Broad River Dots.
