School to School Visitation.
The State Bubbath School Associa
tion has taken steps to have all the
schools in given districts visited on the
same Sabbath by an officer or teacher
from another school; accordingly the
Executive committee of Snyder county
have taken similar action for such vis
itation in this county in the near fu
ture. Many schools are running in ruts,
while others are continually introduc
ing new features without ever realizing
the good they are doing. The reason
iu both cases is because the workers in
these schools never see another school
at work.
The object of this visitation is to help
those schools which have been run
ning along iu the same chmnel for
years to a change of methods, and lead
others who have been advancing to ap
preciate their efforts in that line and
cause tneia to seek still other avenues
of progress.
Accordingly on a Sabbath yet to le
named each suieriiitendent in the
county will be asked to visit a neigh
boring school or appoint some ofllcer
or active teacher from his school to do
so. The visitors are not expected to
make addresses, but simply visit the
school and observe its workings. It
were better if the visitors' presence
w ere not announced.
Blanks will be furnished the visitors
who will fill them out in the school
they visit and read the report the fol
lowing Sabbath in their own school.
The reports when read in the school to
which the visitor belongs, wV be sent
to. the district chairman, who in turn
will return them to the county secre
tary through whom they will find
their way to the state office.
It is to be hoped when the day is set.
aud the visitors appointed, that each
one will cheerfully discharge the sim
ple duty as efficiently as possible and
thus help the work along, and help to
prepare the way for the house to house
visitation which is to follow later on.

Under this caption the Middleburg
Post gets oil' the subjoined item. As to
the bachelors from this county who
have taken up their residence in old
Snyder county, we do not know who
the editor of the Post refers to, unless
one of them is the young banker who
recently left here to take the position
of cashier of the Middleburg National
bank; but he U still young enough to
get out of the bachelor net and join
with the happy benedicts.
Our Juniata people who are residents
of Snyder county may not die bache
lors. They no doubt hope to live until
they are married. When they do mar
ry, If ever, they will take the daughter
of a good mother, and domestic happi
ness will be the result. Some young
ladies, perhaps they will be Snyder
county ones, will set the neb that will
capture Juniata's young bachelors who
are living In our neighboring county.
They do not want to marry in haste
and then repent at leisure, so will le
very careful before making the vent

Letter to moml Iwitz.
M I IIHI Kill H I, 1'fnn'n.
Dear Kir: When you see a well-dress
ed muii, you like to say: "There's a
sample of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was w hen
he came to me."
We have the same feeling. Our
paint on a bouse is worth twice as
much as old-fashion painter's paint,
lead mid oil. It looks the same when
llrst put on. In three months it don't.
In three years it decidedly don't.
Lead and oil chalks oil' in three
years: it is considered a first-rate Job
that lasts three years.
Devoe leatl and 7,inc is about ns good
in three years as it was the day the
painter laft it.
Zinc is the secret of It: no secret at
all. A good many paiuters know zinc;
some mix It in with their lead. We
grind it in: not a little: good deal.
It's the zinc aud the grinding that
does it. You can't mix zinc by hand.
We grind It by machinery.
Paiuters are finding us out, though.
some painters are slow.
You know that it pays a good man
to wear good clothes. How many
customers have you that know it?
Yours truly,
84 F. W. Dkvob Jc Co.

You can paint a building with fewer
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than
with Mixed paints, and it will wear
twice as long as lead and oil mixed by
hand. tf.
