Groeali of Concord Dear Sir: You'd atnke it rich if you could rind a way to shave your cus tomers in hss time, for less cost, and make the shave last twice or three times as long. You wouldn't shave the same person so many times, or get so much of bis money; but the whole town would he talking about you, and everybody would come to you for a shave. Devoe lead-and-zinc is exactly that in Daints. It takes fewer gallojs, and it wears longer. Costs less for the job and you don't have to do it again for years and years six years at least. "Fewer gallons: wears longer.' Takes few gallons to paint a house with Devoe lead-and-zinc than with mixed paints; and it wears longer than mixed paints or lead-and-oil. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., 32 New York From the Albemarle Eaterprine. Mrs. Lizzie Little has moved to China Grove with her children where she wil kftpn house for her brother, Mr. T L. Ross.

Save All the Cotton tbla Year Marshvllle Homo "It will be well to save all the yellow cotton from the patch this year," re marked a citizen the otherday. "Yes," said a farmer, "it will pay to save it all even if you have to crack the lolls like scaley barks and pick the cotton. Better invite the hoys and girln in and have a sociable and C"ttm picking in the house." A combination like that might be captivating enongh to suc cessfully mix a little profitable work with pleasure. We are confident such a scheme would work out all right pro vided a few scaley barks were mixed along with the cotton to he cracked. Marshville Home.
