Old-fashioned patience that can bide its
time,
Old-fashioned firesides sacred from the
world,
Old-fashioned satisfaction with enough,
Old-fashioned candor and simplicity,
Old-fashioned folk> that practice what
they preach.

Dear Sir: You ask how many
square teet a gallon will cover.
Depends on condition of building.
ihere is a great deal of 'ying on
this point The stock claim of ly
ing paints is 300 square teet, two ,
coats, It’s a lie, as a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 509, our
agents think. We think 300 too low
and 500 too high ; thought doubtless,
thov both occur
How much the other paints cover
is equally doubtful; we guess 100 to
400.
The truth is found in another
comparison. Devoe ia all paint,
true paint, strong paint, and full
measure; the other is generally
at the b»sf, diluted, adultetated and
short measure They cover accord
ing to body and measure. You can’t
paint with clay, lime, chalk, sand,
barytes, water or air—no body in
them. Go bv Devoe.
Yours truly

Disabilities of a Pike Mail Car-
i ier.
Congressman Bartlett has urged upon
the president that he remove the disa
bilities resting over W. p. Ridley, of
Pike county. It saems that ten or
twelve years ago Mr Ridley was charg
ed with some infringements upon the
postal laws. The charge was purely
technical in its character, and upon
the advice of the judge presiding he
pleaded guilty on rhe understanding
that the sentence would be suspended
which was done. Subsequently Mi.
Ridley, who is a man of prominence,
was elected tax-receiver of his county.
A short while ago he was appointed
rural mail carrier, but the appointment
was revoked upon the discovery that
this old disability stood against him.
Judge Bartlett oiled on the president
and urged that Mr. Ridley's disabilities
be removed, and it is believed hie re
quest will ge granted.

BROOKS’ DRUG STORE
SUCCESSFUL.
Induced Dr Howard Company to
Make? pec al Price.
After a great deal of effort and cor
re-tpondeuce Thoe. J. Brooke, the popu
lar druggist, has succeeded in getting
the Dr. Howard Co. to make a special
half-price introductory offer on the reg
ular fifty cent eize of their cel°brated
epecitlc for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the stom
ach and bowels. It not oniy gives
quick relief, but it makes permanent
cures.
Dr. Howard’s specific has been so re
markably successful in curing constipa
tion, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that Brooks’ drug store is willing to re
turn the price paid in every case where
it does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh
purgatives will soon be a thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescrib
ing Dr. Howard’s specific because it
really gives the desired results and on
account ot the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
So great is the demand for this spe
cific, that Brooks’ drug store has beeu
able to secure only a limited supply,
and every one who is troubled with dys
pepsia, constipation or liver trouble
should call upon him at once, or send
25 cents, and get sixty doses of rhe best
medicine ever made, on this special half
price offer with his personal guarantee
to refund the money if it does not cure.

Robbed in Atlanta.
While on the train to return
home after spending Monday in
Atlanta, Mrs. C. A. Whitehead of
this place was robbed of her puree
containing |25 in money and several
checks, which fortunately were un
endorsed. She had laid her puree
and a bundle on the seat in order to
take off her coat, and a man pushed
by and grabbed the purse and was
out the door in the crowd before he
could be detained. Conductor Har
ris made what starch he could ai d
infoi’ned the detectives, but it was
useless He said four arrests had
been made that day in the oarshed.
People have been complaining
for sometime past that they could
not leave packages on the seats and
turn around in the trams leaving
Atlanta without being robbed, and
it seems to be getting worse. A
crowd of professionals seems to be
at work making a regular business
of it.
