I Letter to S. M. Beaty, Union, S. C. Dear Sir; As your business is to got people into and out of trouble, suppose you consider their paint; it makes 'em almost as much trouble as money, except of course matrimony. They buy poor paint a good deal; i they don't mean to; they don't i know any better; they buy without 1 thinking. Bad paint isn't good. It i looks good-enough for a year; then 1 begins to get rusty; hut' changes so 1 slowly, one doesn't notice it. 1 Ixioklng isn't all. The business < of paint is to keep a house dry in- 1 side, the wood and iron of it; keep I it from rotting and rusting. Takes < good paint to do it. i Good and had paint are sold at 1 one price or about that. One can't go by the price at all; as with law- 1 yers, the price has nothing to do i with goodness or badness; and costs i are worse yet; the painter and slier- i iff come-in for their share. But the probability is that a man | who paints Dcvoc, will come-out on 1 top. Yours truly, i F. \Vr. Devoe & Co. For sale by Bailey Lmb. & Mfg. Co.

V Many Beautiful and Artistic Creations in Hats, Lovely Shades in Dress fabrics, and Exquisite Shoes are Shown by Our Merchants. Tuesday dawned bright and balmy with occasional gusts of wind and. refreshing April showers, nevertheless the ladies looking fresh ind charming were out in full force to see the spring goods and millinery displays of the Mutual Dry floods Co., Miss M. E. Tinsley, McLurc Mercantile Co. and the Union Cotton Mills Department >tore. As usual the ladies manifested a lively interest, expressing lelight and admiration of the many oeautiful and artistic creations of ;mts, lovely shades in dress fabrics, ind shoes. In the show windows of the Mutual Dry Goods Co. were a taste'ul and attractive display of shoes >f all styles, sizes and of the latest uts. In another window the latest n hosiery, and in the other two igures gracefully draped in lace >ver Nile green, the other lace over ilae, in the centre a mass of lillies >f the valley, a ready-to-wear hat m either side trimmed in white and $reen. This window looked like i miniature flower garden. In the front part of the store many beautiful designs in dress fabrics, fans ind parasols were attractively displayed. The millinery department ivas decorated with dogwood blossoms, ferns and artificial flowers. The hats were models of fashion Hid beauty, so profusely and elaborately trimmed as to carry out the flowor fmrdi'll foallirn nf tVilu unoo/?..l" style. There were some lovely hats in the Charlotte Corday and turban sliapes. . Miss M. E. Tinsley as usual displayed great artistic taste in the lecorations of the show windows. Most charming were the picture liats, banks of flowers, the prevailing colors being green and white, ill of which were much admired, there being some specially pretty liats in lilac and white. The McLuro Mercantile Co. had i very attractive window with a net work of artificial flowers for a back ground, and ignite a numlicr of pretty hats placed alxmt in the window, and in the center was an irbor of Easter lillies. The millinery department was as beautiful i collection of stylish hats in lilac xnd white trimmings and of the most popular shapes as could lie found in any first class millinery establishment. At the Cotton Mill Department store there were many very pretty turbans and other shapes and varieties of trimmings. We have not in this account given half that was to lie seen at the opening of the several stores here mentioned. It is a matter of impossibility to describe the many iH'aimnu limy, we were impressed ivith the profusion of flowers put upon one hat, there seemed enough 3n one to trim a dozen, is why we have called the hats a miniature (lower garden, and most of thefloweas seem to be 011 the back part of the hats: this we fear will make the ladies walk away from you. The ladies in charge of the millinery departments certainly de". serve great credit for the beautiful and artistic work in the creation of such lovely hats. They certainly have afforded the ladies of this ?ity great pleasure, and by them this work of art is greatly admired and appreciated. DR. DODO DELIGHTED With Historic Sketch of AnteDellum Schools?Knew Personally Some of the Teach ers. _ ?. Mr. Editor; I wish to thank your fair correspondent for her article Inst week in The Times on ante-bellum schools, teachors, (fee., of South Carolina. I was specially interested in her account of the "barefooted teacher." Being intimately acquainted with Prof Jones, 1 may lie able to add to what your correspondent has said about him. Over BO years ago (I do not remember exact date) he taught at West Springs. An old lady, Mrs. Bennett, says she was one of his pupils. He probably went from Union county to Calhoun Falls. In 1851 he was teaching near New Market below Greenwood. I was one of his pupils during the fall session. In 1854 he had moved to the upper portion of Abbeville county, in the Calhoun section near the Savannah river. Here he built up a nourishing high school (mixed.) Qntside of the local patronage he had a large number of boarders from the surrounding counties (and Georgia. I had the honor, as well as the pleasure, of being one of ^ assistants.

I His teaching was analytic and thorough. He taught spelling and reading upon a new system. He used "Brid's English Dictionary," ono of tho host I ever saw. And why it was not adopted in the schools generally, I never could understand. It is out of print and therefore difficult to obtain si copy. I have a copy I will loan to any teacher in the county who is curious to learn how spelling and reading were taught by the "barefooted teacher," and a few others in antebellum days. I never saw him barefooted in the school room, but saw him very poorly clad. 1 never saw him, what we would term, dressed up. Yes, he was eccentric, original, a great fox and deer hunter. While I was with him few of the l>oy8 took part in hunting excursions. TTr> wnK rw>rf?><'tlv wf>lomin? (/.all !./. honor (?) gained in "tailing the fox" so far an most of us were concerned.

He used to travel through the country with his children during vacation, giving musical entertainments. Col. Robert Gage regarded Prof. Jones as being one of the best teachers in the state, and so expressed himself to me over ">() years ago in Union. Col. Gage was a competent judge of a man's ability to fill any position in life. J. \V. Jones was a hightoned, patriotic gentleman of the old school. The pernicious doctrine imbibed from old Dr. Cooper was a drawback to his otherwise useful life. So far as 1 knew he was reticent as to his religious belief. He volunteered early in the war, but his advanced age and the hardships of camp life soon began to tell upon his once iron constitution. In a few months his patriotic spirit took its flight to a realm beyond, wo hope to the God who gave it. C. It. Bono.
