Why Zinc and Grinding ? White lead chalks off; zinc prevents it ; ground together they wear twice as long as lead alone; and that is Devoe. Zinc and grinding are necessary. MARRIED. Oct. 1st, by Geo.

(4) It is proportioned for wear. (6) It is mixed intimately and ground line. (0) It is full-measure (2.'!l cubic in. u gallon).

A certain young woman's benevolent disposition received a seven' shock on a recent Sunday evening. She was at Church and sat directly behind a well dressed stranger, with a ravi ling hang lug to his collar. Iteing one of those generous-hearted, whole-souled girls who grow up to be motherly old ladh s. a Mend to everybody in town, she thought how glad she would be If BORIC kind-hearted girl would be as kind to her father, were he to go to church with a raveling hanging down his back, so when the audience rose for the lirst hymn she concluded to pick it oil'. Carefully raising her hand, she gave a little twitch, hut it was longer than she supposed, and a foot or more n -pea red, Setting ber teeth she gave a pull and about a yard of that horrible thread hung down hi back. This was getting embarrassing, but determined, she gave anothci yank and discovered that she was unraveling his undershirt. Her discomfiture was so painful that Ohlforofonn would not have alleviated her sufferings nor a pint of powder hid den her blushes when the gentleman turned with an Inquiring look to see what was tickling bis neck.

Here is a choice bit of homely wis dom from the writer of "Jottings by the Wayside," in the Milllinhurg "Tele graph" : "Nine-tenths of the unhappy mar riages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in the society pastures without any yoke on them. They marry and have chil dren In fore they have moustaches; they aru fathers of twins before they are the proprietors of pairs of pants, and the little girls they tnarrv are old women before they are :!. Oc casionally one of these gosling mar riages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have cut all their teeth, We suppose the dlsscs would evade it in some way, but there ought to be a sentiment against it. It is time enough for these bantams to think of (hiding a pullet when they have raised money enough lo buy a bundle of laths to build a hen house. But they see a girl who looks cunning and they are afraid there will no! be enough girls to go around ami then they begin to get in their wotk real spry; before they are aware of the sanctify of the marriage relation they are hitched for lifeand before they own a cook stove or bedstead they have to get up in the night ami go after a doc tor, so frightened that they run them selves out of breath and abuse the doe tor because he doesn't run too, then when begets there he can't lind linen enough in the house to wrap up a doll baby. i - A Good ho is! incut. One thousand mile tickets of the Sea board Air Line Railway, which arc sold at $25.00, are good over the. entire System, and are also honored between Richmond aud Washington by the Richmond, Fredericksburg .v.

For the second time in live weeks, Death invaded the hoim of the family of Edward Freed, at 5:30 o'clock Sun day evening, just as the shades of even ing, of thai beautiful Autumn day be gan to close around us, the pure spiril of Nelson Freed w inged its w ay to the God who gave It. Sept. 17, bis sister, Bailie, passed away with thai dreaded disease, typhoid fever. Scarcely a week had nassed until the cruel fangs of fever fastened themselves upon two brothers, Charles and Nelson, and lor three weeks the deceased suffered, and seemed to be hanging In a balance un til Anally tholasl faint hoi f loving friends had to yield to the will of Htm who is too wise to err. Nelson was truly a model young man; he was loved and respected by all who knew him, and nothing bu I pral for his noble, kind and Christ ian deeds is heard from bis friends and neigh Dors, ne waa convertea six years ago and united with the United Evangelic al church, of which body he was a con listen t member, he being superintend ent of the Sunday school, at the time of his death. He died as he had lived, trusting ill God. Shortly before he passed away, in a strong (dear voice he sang two verses of that beautiful hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arm,', after which he offered a beautiful pray er, then fell peacefully asleep. He is survived by his parents, two brothers and three sisters, who have the sym pathy of the entire community. His age was 10 years, 11 months and 11 days. The funeral took place Tuesday. Services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. 1). Gramly. Nelson was elected teacher of the primary school, in which capacity he was permitted to act but one week be fore he took sick. A FBI KM n.

The business man who does not be lieve in adverlising, in these days, Is so far back that he does not belong to the class of business men. The thing that troubles the business world most is what manner of advertising is lest suited to the needs of each particular ease I feel safe in saving Unit there is no business of w hatever nature that can uot be improved with newspaper advertising. The newspapers and the magaslnei form the backboue of all kinds of publicity. There are also the circulars, folders, booklets, catalogues, street cars and posters. Statistics show that there is expended by American business nu n (000,000,000 every year for advertising. This is divided among about a m Million houses. Unfortunately a great deal of money is wasted in advertising or rather in at tempting to advertise. Certain prin ciples of advertising ure Immutable ami as reliable and as steady us the fixed stars. The manner of applying these principles in every day Use, on the other hand, arc as intricate and uncer tain as a panic on Wall Street. Too many men rush headlong Into a pro position to advertise extensively with out knowing whether they are on the right track or not. The wrong mediums might be selected, the space purchased might uot be used properly, li is al ways sale to go slow Mt llrst, select your mediums carefully; do not try to cover too much territory at the beginning and di i at I nipl to say all you know about what you have to sell, in the fust ad. Use plenty of space to say whal you have to say as one w ay to waste money Is to spend too little of ii for ud vet Us ing space, Every business man should spend considerable nine for planning and writing his advertisements. II he can not do that, he should empl.iy a specialist to look after that pari of the business for hlni. Too few business men really understand the art of get ting am. the value out of adverlising space. Advertising, and doing ii right, Is as much a pari of business as buying and selling. Space in a new-paper or a magazine Is a commodity the same as dry g I- and il is ;i much easier matter for a business man to buy a space of thai character than it is to de termine how to use it. His success will depend upon the latter. Statements made in ads, should be truthful. Tin y should contain not only the truth, but ail the truth thai a buyer should know. Make your. ids talk I.IKE you or your clerk talks to the custom ers over the counter. The same argu ment used in the store or office to con vince one man of the merits of your goods, IfeH'cetive, will, if used in your ads, touch the hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands who read your ud. in the papers or magazines. Be clear, concise and to the point, study your ads carefully before you Bend them out. If possible, lei gome one else read them and criticse them for you. Ail sentences should be short ami clear. The important words and lines should bo neatly displayed. Prices and descriptions should be given so the buyer will have a fair Idea of the article you have to sell. Try with your ad. to create a desire for your article. Make (bead, -ell the article. That Is what you want.
