LETTER TO PINK HENDERSON,
Gainesville, Ga.
Dear Sir: Have you found this out?
You need less of Devoe lead-and-zinc
fora job than of anything else: less
money.
M A Thomas, painter, Lynchburg,
Va, has found it out; he writes: “The
first job I did with your paiut I esti
mated 37 gallons; had 12 gallons left
over. Since then I have not used any
other kind of paint but Devoe lead-and
zinc; I recommend it to all my cus
tomers. When I commence a job, 1I
tack up a card reading as follows: M A
Thomas, ccntractor; Devoe Paint.”
Putting it on costs two or three times
as much the paint. Have you found
this out? You can paint Devoe in less
time; less money.
Have you found this out? Devoe
wears longer than anything else.
You don’t object to longtime between
jobs. Your customer likes it. And you
like what he likes. It keeps your cus
omers.
Yours truly,
83 F W Devoe & Co

Much Big Council.

this week in Brunswick, Robt. W.
Smith and Borner Taylor of this city at
tending as delegates from the local
council. The former representing the
Chattahoochee Tribe and the latter the

Investigating Water Power.
Mr. R. H. Smith industrial and land
agent of the Gain ,s ille Midland rail
road, carried a party of capitalists to
Mulberry river this week to show them
the water-power on it that could be de
veloped. The party were well pleased
with the prospects but gave out nothing
definite for publication.
Wind and Rain Sunday.
A mild storm passed over Hall and
adjoining counties Sunday, doing no
serious damage, but some injury was
done throughout its scope. Reports
from the mountain towns above Gaines
ville and intervening country are to the
effect that more or less damage was
done, but nothing of a serious nature.
The telephone company probably sus
tained a greater loss than any other one
interest in this section. Its long dis
tance wires leading to the mountain
towns were down in four places, and
as many as four poles were down at one
place. The wires leading into South
Carolina were damaged worse than any.
Several men have been at work on them
this week.

zey, F. M. Loden, J. E. Jackson, and

joy the trip more than will the dele
gates,if viewed from an observational or
social standpoint.

and the way mamas and papas, and
other folks, too, laughed, we tell
the children, sorter quiet like, that

proud of them as prould could be.

able homes in the city, conveniently
located,admirably suited to the needs
of the pastor and his family. Com
merce will give Mr. Blackwell and
his family a cordial welcome. No

nature, and is withal a capital
preacher.—Commerce News.

Election, Then Business.
The election must have proved
very satisfactory to the farmers, for
there has been manifestations of
good cheer on, every hand for the
first three days of the following
week, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The cotton receipts have run a
little over 400 bales and the price
paid for it was from Ilf to Ilf
cents per pound.
Three of the leading produce
men, for these three days, have
bought something over 5,000 dozen
eggs at the average price of 12£
cents per dozen.
These men report having re
ceived over 2,350 chickens, for
which they paid an average of 29
cents apiece.
Other produce men and mer
chants were seen by a representa
tive of the Eagle but said that thev
had no record of their purchases
and no accurate way of estimating
them, though they had bought more
than usual, as the market hhd been
flooded with produce.
The country is in an exception
ally fine financial condition, the
people just now beginning to sell
the surplus portion of their crops.
