Dear. Sir: What is lumber worth?
"Depends on the lumber," you suy?
"what sort doyou want?"
That's how somu peopio talk about
paiut. Thoy ask: "VVhut'll you paint my
house for?"
lilt) I'uii'noo answer is: "How do yon
want it painted? Quo coat? two omits?
three coats? first class or cheap?"
The proper answer is, "1 want the
best paint put on us it ought to be."
That s Devoe; but tho usual answer is:
"I want a good job; but I want it
cheap." Which means. I want you to
put it on for uothiug. I want to be
fooled.
Lead-nnd-oil is the costliest paint
there is: not tho best; it used to be best.
Devoo is best, since zinc came in, Devoe
lead uud-ziuc.
Zinc toughens the load and doubles
its wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead, and we
grind by machinery.
We have no patent on ziuc; but nobody
treats it right. Devoe is your
i taint..
Yours truly

Mr. J. R. Walker, of Lowell,
N. C., had the pnisfortune on
last Sunday to lose a fine horse
by drowning:. Mr. Walker was
on his way home with his mother,
Mrs. J. A. Walker, of Steel
Creek, and while standing by
his horse at Wright's Ferry the
animal became frightened and
with the buggy plunged into the
river and drowned. The animal
which was valued at $175, might
have been saved but for the deep
mud into which it sank and there
was no means at hand by which
to remove it in time to prevent
its drowning.

The State board of pension commissioners
met last week and j
took final action on the pension
claims and lists. All records
were*finally acted upon and orders
given for the payment of I
the pension fund on the basis of ;
the figures and claims passed up- i
on. The expectation was that
the pension checks would be sent;
out on the 1st of May, and that
there would be some increase in
the amount of the pension money
each pensioner is to receive.
