Complaint About Road s The en: plaint is general throughout the county that the country roads are in a very bid condition. Of course, the ivny snows and frequent rains make the roads bad, but there seems much irregularity about the road interests in the comfy anyway. Little Farm Work. It is a general enervation that there has been little firm work done this year. Very little I.nd has been plowed, yery little com-p-snt- ha? been done. And it is so late t:i the reason now farmers can do very Jittli comnostmg. This gives the guano men a chance to sell large quan tities ol fertilizers, and all indications point to large sales. Letter to W. F. Butterworth. Dear Sir: It took 10 gallons to paint your house last time with some body else's paint, aud takes 8 with De vce, we save yon or $i0 ; for paint ing costs two or three times as mucb as paint. Mr. Ezra Kathmell, Williamsport, Pa , always used 11 gallons of mixed paint for his house ; Devoe took 6. : Bat that isn't all ; that's only first cost: how long will it wear? The paint, that gce3 furtherest in covering, wears best too. All paint, true paint, and full meas ure are on one side ; part paint, false paint, and short measure are on the other. What can you expect? Yours truly F. W. Devoe & Co. E. T. Whitehead & Co. sell our paint. Homicide at Tillery.

The fire occurred about ten o'clock and it was thought to be the work of an incendiary. Death of Mrs. Hall. Mondav.Mareh 14.1904.at about half past ten o'c!ock,Mr..Emily Turner Hall entered into rest. Her death was not a surprise to her friends. She had been a sufferer for many years with some sort of heart trouble, and was ful ly prepared for the end. Mrs. Hall's parents were Mr. J. L. G Baker and Sarah Baker. She was born February 12, 1823, and had just com pleted the eighty-first year of her age. In some respects the life of Mrs.Hall has been rather remarkable. In 181, when she was in her 19th year, two things occurred in close succession of the greatest interest and importance to her whole life. These were first, her union -sith thn Church of God by bap tism Mar 23rd. and bv confirmation Jane 20lh, and by reception of the holy communion on July 4th, all In the same year, lne second matter ot great importance was her marriage to Dr. Archibald Stuart Hall June lo, 1S41. So that j ear was to Mrs. Hall a vBar of momentous events. That in dicates her character for firmness and decision. She took her religion with hpr into her domestic relations. And surely was she to need the comfort, en couragement and strength that noth ing but the promises of God made to man in his holy word could bring in trouble and affliction. Mra. Hall has suffered many and great afflictions in the death of her husband in 1S76, aud in the loss of five sons, all grown or nearly so. She leaves two sons, ur. James d. FT1! and Mr. Richard S. Hall and one daughter, the wife of Mr. William R. Bond. From that da7. Mav 23. 1841, when Mra TTali consecrated herself to the Lord in baptism and afterwards par- took of the emblems ot tne Doay ana blood of her Lord, she has continued steadfast in the faith. There has been no wavering. Her religion through life has been of a strong, vigorous character. There wa3 no subject on which she dwelt with more pleas ure than the thought of God's in finite love to man. She often spoke ol the Lord's meicies to her in her afflict- . m .5 X 3 ions. Thero was manliest in ner miuu th hr.jadest and the most gracious nhantv towards every one. She never orwibA nnkindlv of others, liut sne had that charity that "rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoicetn in ine iruip, and "beareth all things, believeth all thin era " and honeth all things may work togother for the ultimate peace h .niH rf a . it was tnat sort oi charity that "suffereth long and Is kind" and "envieth not. nf the.
