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 P. s—Gainesville Lumber Co. seHour paint. Estaljlislied. in 1 860. Populists to Vote as Democrats.

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. Templars Assemble in Augusta.
