There are two good reasons for lintintr often-enough or even too o'ten. One, to look prosperous; tro, to be so. Nothing does one more credit or g'ves one more credit than paint, si pplemented of course by what goes w'th it; and paint costs nothing.

An egg story carrying with it a pretty little romance, the result of which is vet to be terminated, has just been made known here. A young salesman in one of the large stores of this place was packing some pws some time ago and wrote his name and address upon one of them. The eggs were shipped to Norfolk and from there reshipped to Atlan tic City. This all took place several months ago. Some days ago the young man received a post card from a young lady in Camden, N. J. saying she had just discovered his egg in a lot pur chased that day and desired to know if he was a white man or a colored man. The young man promptly re plied to the card giving her the de sired information, and to hi3 sur nrise a few days afterwards he re ceived a letter, going moreinto the details of the discovery of the egg, and giving a more satisfactory ac count of the young lady, saying she ite crirl and a leader in so- YM ' - ciety in Camden. From this egg introduction a cor respondence sprang up between the romantic couple which may prove interesting in the future, the young gentleman telling the writer that he was almost decided on taking a trip to the New Jersey city to investi gate th "egg girl," as he sails her, and ;f he, finds her o. k., well, that "brings on more talk."
