Circus Last Wednesday.
Downie & Wheelers shows
were here last Wednesday, and
the circus was very good, the
gentlemen whom we came in con
tact being very polite and agree
able, but the gang following them
up was one of the toughest Vhich
ever struck this community.
Several of our good farmers-of
course they were farmers for no
town man evr has so much
money were relieved of their
pocketbooks, containing all the
way from $15 to $180, so the re
port goes. It is bad to be separ
ated from this amount of money
without anything at all in return,
but it must be a most comfortable
feeling to have that much change
loose in your jeans, especially ,
when you are going to a show,
Possibly some of these gentlemen
had an idea of buying a circus
and came prepared. But serious
ly, it is a great mistake for any
one to go into crowded places
where all kinds of toughs are ex
pected, with a pocket full of
money,' better deposit with the
bank, even if you are going to
draw it out the next day.

Paint and Not.
Paint was nevef before so high
as last year and this: about $2,
25 a gallon Devoe aad a half-dollar
less for trash.
What is trash?
It looks like paint and pretends
ta be paint, but isn't worth . paint
ingr It costs a painter's day's
work tO'Put-oiui gallon of paint,
good or bad; "and- a painter's
day's work is $3 or $4. '
Add that to the price of a gal
lon. That is the cost of a gallon.
Devoe is $5 or $6 a gallon; and
trash a half-dollar less.
But Devoe is ail paint and more
too; yoa add oil to it; a gallon is
5 or 6 quarts of perfect paint for
the painter's pot. But trash is
three-quarters two-thirds or half
paint; you pay a half-dollar less
for nobody-knows- what-it-is.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for
the average job; it takes 15 to
20 gallons -of trash. And the
wear same way. Unfortunately,,
they look alike when first put-on.
DEVOE.
