Byrd, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: It is a great thing for a merchant to have the exclusive sale (in his region, of course) of anything wanted by everybody. There are two ways to treat such goods. One is: put the price up and make big profit. The other way is: be fair and make more.* Devoe is the paint which takes least gallons and costs least money a house, a job, a year, a lifetime?no matter how you reckon your costs, except by the gallon?Devoe is the best care-taker land costs least money. Don't forget that the principal part of the cost of paint is putting it on. Less gallons, less cost. Don't forget that another principal part of economy is long wear; less gallons, less cost and long wear.

The tenth reunion of Company G, 1st S. C. V., was held on Thursday, July 30th, at Bethesda church. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. T. L.

Mayfield, was introduced, and of course he made a fine speech. We wish we had space for his entire speech. After this the old veterans spent some time relating war anecdotes, which were much enjoyed. Resolutions of thanks were passed to Bethesda church for the use of the building and grounds and the many kindnesses shown the veterans. The executive committee reported that they had decided that the next reunion be held at Bethesda church on the last Thursday in July of next year.

The average tenderfoot is not a coward. He simply lacks ranch experience. An illustration of this fact occurred down in Mexico several years ago. One day a pale looking, thin and sickly young man alighted from the train and put up at the adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The tenderfoot walked up to the bar and called for a bottle of soda pop. "Tain't allowed to drink that sort o* stuff out here," said a toughy. "What you want is a stiff drink o' red liquor. n 1 .Mr. oarKeeyer, set uui iuc yiovu iui this young fellow." "You have the best of me," replied the tenderfoot, "and I'll have to drink the stuff, but I hope the time may come when I can make you drink my choice of liquid." The tenderfoot raised the glass and gulped down the whiskey. Sandy had his way about it, and he made no effort to comprehend the vague remark of the stranger. The tenderfoot left for a ranch down the Pecos the next day after the incident in the saloon, and he was forgotten until one afternoon more than a year afterward a strong, healthy looking young man rode up to the hotel on a broncho, dropped the bridle reins upon the ground and dismounted. He had the appearance of a typical young man of the range. His face was bronzed and his eyes clear and penetrating. "I owe a fellow a debt which I believe I will pay right now," the stranger said. No sooner had he made the remark than he walked off in the direction of Snndv. who had his eun in his rizht hand and was firing it into the air every few steps. The stranger approached Sandy, pulled his gun and unceremoniously dragged the bully up to the saloon and led him in that fashion up to the bar. "Get me a pan of water and set it upon the floor," he said to the barkeeper. The order was complied with, Sandy standing there meekly, wondering what was going to happen to him. "Now get down on the floor and drink water out of that pan like a dog," the former tenderfoot ordered. Sandy at first refused, but when the stranger began twirling his gun around on his forefinger and said the order must be obeyed the cowed fellow unlimbered and lay down upon the floor and began drinking water 1 out of the pan.?Denver Field. ( A ITninne Dean-Year Dance. ' An attractive leap-year dance is described in Woman's Home Companion for August. Each girl sends to the gentleman she has chosen to be her escort, an invitation to the dance, stating at what time he should call for her. The girls agree among themselves to exchange places, and each girl is masked and dressed to represent some distinguished character. When the guests have all arrived at the! hall, each man is given a slip of par) per, and a pencil, to guess who each! girl is. A prize may be given to the one guessing the most correctly. Before unmasking, each man has the first dance with the girl with whom he came. Afterwards comes > the unmasking, and the surprise?if. tha ffirl has nlavari bar nart wall. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafhess Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining ; of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is I Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or lm-! perfect hearing, and when It is entirely clos-; ed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the in-1 flammatlon can be taken out and this tube | restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafhess (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.
