Small Fire Tuesday.
The dwelling occupied by Mr. R
I. Jones, in the Clarksviile end of
town, came near being destroyed by
fire Tuesday about 11 o'clock. The
fire originated around the kitchen
flue and with a strong wind blowing
it took hard work for a few minutes
to put out the fire. The damage
both to the building and furniture
is covered by insurance.
The fool imagines that the world
is laughing with him when it laughs
at him.

Know Paint.
There's a paint-education in this
advertisement.
Buy by the job, not gallon. Buy
by the paint put-on; that's the jab.
The price of paint is so much a
gallon; that can't be, helped, but
amounts to nothing.
The price of painting is so much a
day; that can't be helped, but
amounts to nothing.
Put them together. How can you
do it? You've got to or lose per
haps half of your money.
Devoe, 10 gallons enough for the
average job; an average paint, 15.
Now reckon your costs. Count la
bor a day for a gallon. Devoe 10
days; the other 15.
Devoe about $50; the average
paint about $70 or $30; the dearer
the labor the bigger the difference,
always that way.
But that's for the job. How long
is it going to last? One twice as
long as the other. Devoe.
