Mistake; the buyer loses by it: how much? Depends on the paint; it is so much a gallon, or so much a year. How much a gallon or year, do you think? As much perhaps, as the total price of the paint. It may tako twice the- number -of gallons. N Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two houses, both exactly alike.

A call hy the presient upon the delegates from each Ip nvnship for reports on the reduc- H on of acreage in cotton and in- i|| ease in acreage of food crops reilted in only a few responses on le part of the delegates, although p lank forms for this purpose had ftlj sen furnished. Capt. \V. T. Jc- p5 ir and Mr. W. II. Gist, of Fish- e! inn township, had no written or |i nrnnl reports to submit, hut asired the president that a reduction m I cotton acreage and increase of food 11 op acreage would certainly be lade by the farmers of that town- i| up according to the best informa- l|| on and belief. ^ Jonesville reports showed that pi leir cotton acreage for 100b would Itoii 3 the same as in 1905, and in many g| ises even less, and a largely in- ^ eased food crop acreage. Pinck By reports showed a more decided ? Bcreasc in cotton acreage and a cor- _ spending increase in food crop 1*3 jrenge. ^ Union township reports were to fft 10 effect that at least 2o per cent. la idnetion in cotton acreage and a (v> irrcsponding increase in food crop [j^ ireage and a more largely increased :reage in small grain crops. fir Pesident Fair offered as a sug- lu ^stion, in order to secure a better vjt tendance of the members of the [J/ ?sociation, that the day of meeting rJJ 2 change.d trom the (irst Monday [III i each month to the first Saturday, lu [>011 this suggestion there was some /ft ttlc discussion, llev. J. G. Fair i/? toved that this change he made m; id it was adopted so that: Here- Jr* ;ter the meeting of the Union Cot- Ms >n Association will be held in the (IK ourt House on the first Saturday Kf f each month. vft President Fai r was authorized l>y In le Union County Cotton Associa- He on to invite President Harvic Jor- rlfi an to address the association at the lu vrliest possible day, that upon the jijl jceptance hy president Jordan, the i/r ay fixed would be advertised so (o lat all members would know and [jy B present.
