Whenever a new man comes in some people say it is only a matter of a little while before he will have to quit busi ness. Mr. Holmes has not only put to rout these evil prophesiers, but he has demonstrated that an honest man, ac commodating and polite, by dealing fairly with the trade, and keeping good goods and selling them at a reasonable profit, can not only continue in business, but can save the people- money and make some for himself. He is here to stay, and those who do not see him be fore buying their furniture, stoves, mat tings, etc., are standing in their own light. OAKWOOD. % / Mr. M. A.

LETTER TO LATHEM BROS., Gainesville, Ga. Dear Sirs: You’d strike it rich if you could find away to shave your custo mers in less time, for less cost, and make the shave last twice or three times as long. You wouldn’t shave the same person so many times, or get so much of his money; but the whole town would be talking about you, and everybody would come to you for a shave. . Devoe lead-and-zinc is exactly that in paints. It thkes fewer gallons, and it wears longer. Costs less for the job, and you don’t have to do it again for years and years—six years at least. “Fewer gallons; wears longer.” Takes fewer gallons to paint a house with Devoe lead-and-zinc than with mixed paints; and it wears longer than mixed paints or lead-and-oil. Yours truly F. W, Devoe & Co 32 New York M. C. Brown sells our paint. They Dined. On Friday evening, Jan. Ist, Mr. Z. T. Castleberry gave a six o’clock dinner. An elaborate menu of several courses was served. Those present were H. H. Dean, B. H. Whelchel, J. W. Smith, J. A. Smith, J. A. Wynne, J. W. Bailey, M. C. Brown, John Carter, S. C. Dun lap, R. Palmour, J. T. Telford. Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer. Fewer gallons; takes less of Devoe Lead and Zinc than mixed paints. Wears longer; twice as long as lead and oil. HEROES. The heroes calmly “sink to rest, By all their country’s wishes blest;” The laurel and the immortelle *' Are wreathed upon their biers. ’Tis well To honor these who nobly gave The bravest service of the brave To country’s cause, who nobly fought When battle raged, aid calmly sought To heal the wounds the war had made— Their princely lives shall never fade. Their ashes now beneath the sod, Their spirits given back to God — The record of their deeds still lives And to succeeding legions gives An inspiration. We may not Win laurel’d triumphs for our lot, We may not ■write our record high, Nor flash our glory ’gainst the sky In flushed achievements of the sword, Or thrill the world with ’passioned word; We may be still unknown to fame, But, better, bear an honored name In simple life of lowly way, Thus humbly living, day by day, Not heroes in some world-known strife But in the small affairs of life. —D. G. B. 81.00 Per Annum in Advance. Hudgins—Blackstock. Mr. R. H. Hudgins and Miss Emma Blackstock were happily united in mar riage at the bride’s home Sunday, Squire M. J.
