ROCKALYTE PAINT!
Is rapidly becoming recognized as the
very best paint for paper, canvas, felt,
metal and wood roofs, and all kinds of
composition roofing. It is used in the
South, where the scorching sun fails to
injure it, as well as in the extreme North,
where sudden changes in the climate do
not in any way affect it. No matter
what the temperature, Rockaiyte
Paint will stay on the roof and make
it impervious to water.
IMPORTANT!
It will not Scale, Blister, Peal or Crack,
but will render the roof absolute Water
proof. <JFor Sale By

Long Words.
While our language does not contain
such long words as are found In some
other tongues nor so many words of
unusual length, still we have several
that are awkwardly long for conversa
tional purposes. We have “philopro
genltiveness,” with twenty letters; “in
tereonvertlbllltles,” with twenty-one;
“intercominunlcabllitles,” with twenty
two; “dlsproportlonableness,” with
twenty-three, and “transsubstantiatlon
allsts” and “contradtstinguishabllity,”
each containing twenty-four letters. An
effective little word la “synacategore
matlc,” as It manages to compress
eight syllables Into seventeen letters.
The longest monosyllables contain
nine letters, and there are four ex
amples: “splotched,” “squelched,”
“strengths” and “stretched.” New
York Tribune.
His Mental Incapacity.
The Court—So you ask divorce from
this man on the ground of mental In
capacity. What proof have yon that
he’s Insane? The Woman—Who said
he was insane, your honor? The Court
—Why, you say he Is mentally Incapa
ble. The Woman—Yes; Incapable of
understanding that I’m boss.
Printers’ Marks.
The interrogation mark or “point”
(?) was originally a “q” and an “o,”
the latter placed under the former.
They were simply the first and last
letters of the Latin word “questlo.”
So, too, with the sign of exclamation
or Interjection ('.). In Its original pu
rity It was a combination of ”1” and
“o,” the latter underneath, as lu the
question mark. The two stood for
"lo,” the Latin exclamation of joy.
The paragraph mark Is a Greek “p,”
the Initial of the word paragraph. The
early printers employed a dagger to
show that a word or sentence was ob
jectionable and should be cut out.
Appropriate Treatment.

Reception to Rev. and
Mrs. Wade Paries.
A very pleasant occasion was the!
reception given on Tuesday evening
by the ladies of the Cochran Baptist
church to tin- new pastor, Rev. W.
H. Parks, and his excellent wife.
The reception was held at tlic
residence of Dr. T. 1). Walker, and
the lovely home, fragrant with its
rose-filled rooms, was graced by the
presence of many lovely and lienut
ifully gowned women.
The guests were received at the
door by Mrs. Manning Perry and
Mrs. W. S. Coley. In the drawing
room, Rev. and Mrs Parks were
assisted in receiving by the deacons
and their wives.
In the dining room delicious
cream and cake were served by the
young ladies of the church. In the
library the guests were entertained
with music by Misses Wynne, Annie
Mae Wynne and Joiner, and with
recitations by Mrs. J 0. Dunham,
Miss Radcliffe, Mr. Jimmy Walker
and Mrs. Duggan.
A Nice Calculation.
Two very dear old ladles walked op
to tho wiuilojv whore twins to
be Sold for two popular concerts. They
wnuted tickets for both nights; but,
alas, those for the second evening
were all gone! This was the more
popular entertainment of the two.
“I’m so sorry, my dear!” pattered
one of the old ladies to the other. “We
did want to go, didn't we, and we
wanted to go both nights?”
“You couldn’t give us two tickets
for each uight?” Inquired the other
of the clerk.
“No, ma’am.”
“You haven’t two seats anywhere
for the second night?”
“No, ma’am. Couldn’t give you nose
room.”
A great resolution beamed upon her
gentle face.
“Then.” said she firmly, “give me
four tickets.for the first night. We
will make them do.’’
“Why, sister,” quavered the other,
“you're going to Invite somebody?”
“No,” said she, “but if we can’t go
both nights’’— She paused, bewilder
ed, quite out of her calculation. Then
a happy thought struck her, and she
added, “We’ll go twice the first night.’’

the scheme worked? Jorklns —Admi-
rably. Perkins has kept silence for
twenty years.
