Malicious Mischief.
Some person with a personal
or fancied grievance against Dr.
W. F. Sibbett, one of our most
respected and esteemed citizens,
are taking a low-down way to
settle the score, and last Satur
day or Sunday night poisoned
several of the Doctor’s fine pigs.
By heroic work, however, the
poison was counteracted and the
pigs saved. But the mischief
maker was not satisfied, and
Monday night a fine milk cow
was poisoned, and when last
heard from was given over as
lost. Suspicion, of course, rests
on the perpetrater of such fiend
ish outrages, and he may yet be
brought to justice, which should
be a long term in the penitentiary.

Strong Paint.
Devoe will paint your house for
half or two-thirds or three-quar
ters your actual cost, and wear
as much longer as it costs less.
It is the strongest paint there
is and takes less gallons; its
strength is the reason it takes
less gallons.
Less gallons to buy; less money
for that. Less gallons to paint;
less money for that. As the paint
ing costs more than the paint, so
the saving on painters’ wages is
more than the saving on paint
itself.
Of course, strong paint wears
longer than weak; that is why
Devoe wears longest.
If anyone doubts anv statement
above, here’s the proof: He may
paint half his job I Devoe, the
other half any paint he likes. If
Devoe doesn’t take less gallons
and cost less money (1) for the
gollons and (2) for putting it on,
no pay. If it does, Devoe is the
paint that makes least first cost.
UWt doesn’t wear longer, we’ll
give him enough to repaint the
whole job. The time may be
one year or ten cr between.
Devoe is the paint that costs
least, lasts longest, and takes
best care of the house all the
time.

the tyranical bull-dozing methods
of the Jerome that is working to

fore a disgusted public by prose
cuting a woman, as prosecutor
of a great county and city.
