We have been informed that Boon Hill township has a fine freely flowing Artesian well. It is at the saw mill of Mr. C. C. Lynch on Bawdy Swamp. In digging a well to get water for the boiler it was decided to sink a pipe. At the depth of 37 feet a stream of ever-flowing pure water was discovered. It flows freely out of the top of the pipe which is about four feet above the ground. Mr. Ben Long say that the well furnishes 200 ga - Ions per hour over and above what is needed for the boiler. It. is remarkable to find so much J water at so small a depth. Biggest Mortgaqe Yet.

It has to be registered in 70 counties and the registration fees will amount to a considerable sum. The Southern is giving the mortgage to secure bonds for general improvements of its sys tem. Letter to C. S. Powell, Smlthfleld, N. C. Dear Sir: Some think we take a good deal of risk in inviting complaints of Devoe lead-and zinc?we authorise our agent to sell it under this guarantee: "If you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in < the wear, tell your dealer about it. "We authorize him to do what I is right at our expense." The following story tells how little the risk is: t J. H. Asher & Co., hardware ; dealers, Rhinebeck, N. Y., have ' sold Devoe from '70,to now; have sold thousands of gallons and have had just one complaint in ill this time. Three sides of a house were perfect; the fourth was as bad as the three were good. Explanation?It rained the K light before the fourth side was ( lainted; and the painters didn't 1 vait for the wood to dry. What is done in such a case? < Whatever the dealer, wPo sold i ;he paint, considers it fair to do. I We leave it to bim. He may not Jj lo exactly what we would do if c re were there; but we are not > here. The best we can do is to I eave it to him. C Yours truly. F, W.
