Letter to J. E. Smith, Sonoca.
Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know bow to do a oheap
job of pain ling, and have it look good.
Hore, it is: The oheapest thing there is
in the way of a good-looking job-say
nothing about its being good-is Dovoe:
tho regular thing in Devoe.
Tho reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Load-ana-oil is good
looking; don't go so far and costs more.
The other paints are moro or less short
in one way or another; don't go so far
and cos* a more than Devoe.
Devoo costs least of all; you don't
mind it lasting longer, do you? Wo
oan't help it; a paint that gooB further
lasts longer; wo c.. "M. holp it.
Yours truly,
P. W. Dovoe & Co.

The August- Ohronioie say?: tat on
used stroeis of Hamborg, 8. O., will in
all probability be closed ?nd the land
sold by the State. Yesterday morning
Claim Agent MoLauren. repreaentiuK the
State Land Commissioners, tn com
pany with Magistrate Oetzen, went over
the deserted street? of the Tillage for
the purpose of reporting relative to the
closing of the streets to the oom mission
board, whloh meets in Columbia on the
14th. He will render his report at onoe.
His report will be practically to the
offeot that Hamburg is s deserted and
forsaken village. However, he will rec
ommend that the streets still being used
as roads, or on whloh there sro, occupied
houses, be not elosed up. All others he
will recommend for dosing and selling.
This means that a number of the streets
about the commons and other parts of
the village will soon be a thing of the
past.
In the older countries of the world lt
is oom mon to hear of deserted villages
and cities, but not in the South, or even
in the United States. Onoe upon ? time,
and within the memory of many citizens
of Augusta now living, Hamburg was a
?dace of importanoe, coasted of sevoral
houssnd inhabitants, did a large busi
ness and vied with Augusts for commer
cial supromaoy. There were schools,
banks, large stores', warehouses and
other thriving industries. It ls now a
deserted village snd the remaining
houses are rapidly orumbling to the
?[round. Its day ls past-it is believed

Columbia, Ootober 0.-Governor Hey
ward has pardoned J. W. Bodiford. con
victed in Williamsburg oounty of man
slaughter at the April term of court and
sentenced to Ave years. The case ls a
peculiar one and deserves mention be
cause there has probably never been one
like it in the courts. Bodiford. lu a
shooting sorape, in which several were
involved, shot and killed his own son.
At the.time this was thought to have
been done intentionally, but the suffer
ing of the man sinoe his imprisonment
has been intonso and the solicitor on this
aocount recommended favorable action.
Besides tbis, the man bas incumbi?
heart disease and is liable to die at any
time. In the potition presented to the
Governor tho names of all the county
officers and tbe oounty delegation appear
as well as those of many oitizons.
John G. Wham will be tried in Laurens
next week for the killing of LaFayette
Ramage. It will be remembered that
Wham shot and killed Ramage in the
former's yard, July 0, last. The tragedy
creal ed a.big s on sa lien by reason of the
circumstances laadiug to the homicide
and on account of prominenoo of all
fiarties. Wham bas boen at his home in
he vicinity of Clinton sinoe a fow days
after the killing, having been granted
bail shortly after his surrender. The
caso was continued from the July term
of court on account, of the illness of
Mrs. Wham, wife of the defendant, and
