Bryant, Oxford, N. C. Dear Sir: You take Interest in your work and you want every stroke of the brush to do all it can. Devoe Lead and Zinc makes every stroke of the brush count. Mixed paint wastes fifteen to eighty per cent, of every stroke depends upon the amount of adulteration in the mixed paint. That's what we mean by "fewer gallons." We can't dwell on every reason for using Devoe Lead and Zinc. There are too many. E. R. Bowman. Girard, Pa., writes: Mr. Burt Young bought one gal lon of Devoe Lead and zinc in halves to paint rooms on which he had al ways used one gallon of mixed paint; one half gallon of Devoe did the work and he returned the other half gallon.

The office of mayor is an Important one. The offices of town commis sioners are more important. Let us look well to both. In fiiemoriam. Died at Clay, N. C, March 11th, 1003, Mrs. Battle Tunstall (nee Tip pett) wife of Mr. E. A. Tunstall, aged 27 years. Deceased was a daughter of Simeon Tippett, Esq.. and was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a true friend and a kind neighbor. In the family circle she leaves a husband and two sweet little girls aged re spectively five and two years, besides father, mother, brother and four sis ters. two oi ner sisters had pre ceded her to the spirit land. She was an active and consistent member of ; Corinth Baptist church. Gifted by nature with a peculiarly sweet and lovable disposition she was a great favor'te wherever i known. It is said that death loves a shining mark, and the truth of this j is exemplified in this case. Always ' cheerful and bright she carried sun ' shine and gladness wherever she went. No one in this section from ciiiWDooa to womanhood was ever . more heartily beloved. Truly "death sits upon her lika an untimely frost upon the rarest flower of a'l the field." We shall miss her from our firesides, from prayer meeting and from church services and from Sun day school, where she was ever pres eut and ready to help. She was so useful here and so much needed, and we mourn her absence in our heart of hearts,but God has seen tit to re move her to a happier home the home of the soul 1 hinklng of her death while yet so young and still in life's bright springtime reminds us of what a great man's gardener once said when he found that one of the sweetest and rarest flowers in the garden of which he had charge had been plucked. "Who plucked that flower," said the gardener as he walked through the garden. His fel low servant answered "the master," and the gardener held his peace. God has taken this flower from earth and has transplanted it in heaven as we confidently hope, and resigned to the will doeth all things well we should be of Him who She told her husband that she had desired to live in order to assist him in rearing their loved ones, but that she was perfect ly resigned to God's will. Afflicted with that dread disease consump tion and In full possession of all her faculties to the last she was fully conscious that the end was near, but she bore her sufferings patiently and calmly and met death bravely in the full assurance of a blessed Immortal ity and a happy home in that "house not made with hands eternal In the heavens." We think that she could truly say in the language of the poet: "And though from out this bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see ray pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar." It is sad, particularly so, when a a wife and mother is taken from her family so early in the midst of a life so full of promise when it would seem hard to be without her for a month much less for all time, but we i find consolation In the thought that "when the Lord loveth he chasten eth " A large number of relatives and friends attended the last sad rites of burial to pay their last tribute of re spect to one that they had loved so tenderly in life. Within the sacred precincts of the old church at Corinth where she had delighted to attend divine worship from earliest child hood the remains were laid to rest. The burial services were conducted by Mr. J. I. Gordon. The services were beautiful and Impressive in their briefness and simplicity. Some se lections from the Scriptures were read and the choir with Miss Lula Daniel at the organ rendered beauti fully and softly "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Then in a voice trembling with emotion Mr. Gordon made some appropriate and touching remarks eulogizing the deceased whomhehad known from infancy, and commend ing her life as an example for the liv ing, after which beneath the shad ows of the venerable oaks In the beautiful resting place of the dead the remains were committed to the keeping of mother earth to await the summons of the resurrection. To the. stricken husband and little ones we tender our sympathy, and while our hearts bleed with theirs we rejoice to think that death can not separate us always. There will be a happy reunion In the "sweet by and by." "Oh! the joy when we shall meet her In the mansions of the blest. Where there hands shall cease their toiling Nor a never ending rest. Soon our feet, so weary treading Thorny paths midst earthly strife, Shall enjoy sweet rest eternal With her within the Gates of Life." ADOLPll. Bug-l-Clde kills bed bugs. -- .

It is the most modern and up-to-date system yet intro duced and saves you 5 per cent, of your money on all cash purchases at his drug store, no matter how large or how small your purchase. If you do not understand this, read carefully one of the rebate tickets from his new eash register and it will explain it all, Hamilton always looks well to the ADVANTAGES of his custom ers as well as to his own.
