—It has been said that the
sweet potato crop in Houston was
very much injured, by the dry
weather in August and early Sep
terffBer, but the sample brought
to this office by Mr. J. N. Barker
of near Bonaire tells a different
story, being exceptionally large
and of good shape. Mr. Barker
is one of the best farmers of the
eastern section of the oounty
where there are many good farm
ers.
ANY CHURCH or parson
age or institution supported by
voluntary contribution will be
given a liberal quantity of the
Longman & MartiHez Paints
whenever they paint.
Note :-This has been our custom
for twenty-seven years ; any build
ing not satisfactorily painted wil.
be repainted at our expense ;about
one gallon of Linseed oil to be ad
dad to every gallon of the paint to
make ready for use; it’s mixed in
two minutes and oost of the paint
thereby made less than any other
Yearly product over one million
gallons.
