New Sural Soute. Postoffice Inspector Kingsmore was here for three days last week rearranging the rural service from the Lexington postoffice. Route No. 1 has been covering more territory than the carrier could conveniently reach. Therefore, this i route was changed so as to put the mail nearer to those patrons who now have to go a mile or more and a new route established to serve the balance of people that now get their mail on route No. 1. This change will supply a longfelt need in that section, ana it is all due to the tireless efforts of Congressman A. F. Lever. This same request has been turned down two or three times by the Postoffice Department, but Mr. Lever kept hammering away until he > finallv pot the chance. ^ ? ? _ < > Judge E. T. Bauch.

Der Sir: This happened seven years ago. A man, having three little poultry houses, bought one gallon of each of two paints to paint them; paid $1.60 for one and $1.75 for the other, 15 cents difference. The $1.60 gallon painted one house, the $1.75 gallon painted the other two houses. The cost of the paint was: first house $1.60; second house 87>?c.; third house 87>?c. But painting goes with paint, and it costs as much to paint one paint as it does another, about $3.50 a gallon. The painting of one of those houses with $1.60 paint cost the same as that of the other two with $1.75 paint; $3.50. Difference $1.75 a house same way as the 75 cents. Four years ago, he painted that first little house again, same paint?he wanted to know what the cost of keeping a house well-painted really is. The other two houses didn't need painting. Last year he painted all three little houses, same paints as at first ; and reckoned his cost to date of beginning the job. The first little house had cost $5.10 twice, $10.20, and was ready to paint again; the second two houses had cost $5.20, and were ready to paint again. That is: saving 15 cents a gallon made one house cost twice as much as the other two houses, besides the fu99 of an extra paint job in three years. The $1.75 paint was Devoe.This tale is made up of a thousand /\v? /\/\o rvTT/-v rt ! n n 1TTT O TT iLrt ICJUL^CS. JL/CVUC 10 O-l ? CLJ tuw paint that takes less gallons, costs less money, wears longer, less fuss. And the cost of Devoe is about onefourth of the cost of a paint that doubles the gallons. Yours truly, 59 F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co. sell our paint. " Death of a Bright Young Man. Jacob Martin, son of Mr. A. W. Martin of Swansea and a brother of our fellowtownsman, A. D.
