Another Victory.
The Farmers’ Union has
another victory. They set a
mum price on cotton seed at
per ton, and in the counties

$24 per ton. said
The fellow that that
farmers could not price their
duce has received another jaw¬
breaker. and has took himself
to his physician, the Wall street
speculator, or the Standard Oil
Trust, and perhaps we will
hear of him again for a few days;
but boys, don’t be scared, or over¬
confident, for there is still
to be done. The physicians
patch the fellow up ami send him
back to the old channels ol
fare to tell the farmers that

Senator Spooner Praises
Georgia Congressmen.
Senator John Spooner, who was
in Atlanta la9t we°k in the inter-
8st of the Central of Georgia rate
injunction case, before leaving
gave out a statement as to some of
the congressional delegation from
Georgia, praising Senators Clay
and Bacon, and ulso had several
complimentary remarks to make
on Representatives Adamson and
Livingston, saying that those gen¬
tlemen were on important con
gressional committees, and that
replaced by others the latter would
lack the experience they had. This
is taken by many to be a drawing
card for the congressmen as there
is opposition to them, and it is
thought that the words ot Senator
Spooner will be of aid to them in
a political way.

Letter to C. A. Wander,
Covington, Ga.
Dear Sir: We shall feel obliged
it you write us how you came-out
oil your first few jobs Devoe, as to
gallons expected and used.
Take Job A. You made your
price, expecting to use 25 gallons
Devoe, and used 10. And tell us
what paint you had used before.
Of course, you judge Devoe by
What you have used before.
Here’s how a few came-out.
M. A. Thomas, paiuter, Lynch¬
burg, Va, writes: My first job
with Devoe, I estimated 87 gal
Ions; it took 25. Since then I have
used nothing else.
C. B. Edwards, Raleigh, N. C,
had used 80 gallons part paint on
his house, and bought 30 gallons
Devoe; A. E. Glenn, his painter,
said it wouldn’t be enough. Hod
16 gallons left.
Mayor W. W. Carroll, Monti
cello, Florida, writes: Painter esti¬
mated 85 gallons for my house;
took 20 gallons Devoe.
» Gilmore & Davis Co, contractors
and painters, Tallahssee, Florida,
say 2 gallons Devoe spreads as far
as 3 of any other paint they know,
and covers better.
S. A. Bullard, painter, Sanford
Florida, estimated 50 gallons for
Odd Fellows and Masonic Halls;
they took 26 Devoe.
Jones & Rogers, Merkel, Texas,
estimated 10 gallons Devoe for Mr
Pratt’s house and bought 5 gal¬
lons for first coat; it painted two
coats.
Erb Springall Co, San Antonio,
Texas, painted two houses same
size for D. J. Woodward, one lead
and-oil, the other Devoe, cost $12
less for paint and labor.
Tom Masey’s painter, Walnut
Springs, Texas, estimated for his
house 10 gallons Devoe; he had 4
left.
You see how it goes. Even the
best painters can’t guess little
enough at first.

“Punkin” Pie.
Now comes the time for '‘punkin” pie.
Somehow I feel its presence nigh!
I sniff the air, a sweet perfume
Is stealing softly through the room—
It’s “punkin” pie!
It's punkin pie, of that I’m sure—
0 me! O my! I guess it’s poor!
Quite soon I’ll crowd up to my place
And there will be a lively race
With “punkin” pie!
The fields are full of punkin pie;
I see them there! It makes me sigh
To think that I, a smallish man,
Can eat no more than what I can
Of “punkin” pie!
Can eat at best but half the yield
That now is ready in the field!
I’d like to be a giant bold
For then I guess that I could hold
Some “punkin” pis!
If I had killed a man or two
And life with me was almost through,
And if the jailer, kind, should say,
t ( What will you eat this fatal day?”
Me—“ ‘Punkin’ pie.”
And then I’d mount the creaktng stair,
Without a sign of woe or care,
And die a hero in the hope
That there would be, beyond the rope,
More “punkin” pie!
