LETTER TO MR. J. A. HAR
LAN, NEWPORT. ARK.
Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so
much; neck, so much; all the
way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe
lead-and-zinc is the porterhouse.
Nobody wants the neck; the be
tween, some say, is good enough
for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more
than between. Lead-and-oil is
between; it is the old-fashion
paint. But zinc has come in.
Zinc toughens white lead. De
voe lead-and-zinc is the paint
that wears twice as long as lead
and-oil.
Mr. John N. Deitel, Fair Ha
ven, N. Y., writes:
“Mr. Charles Hallenbeck of
this place painted his house three
years ago with Devoe lead-and
zinc; his father painted at the
same time with lead-and-oil. To
day the son’s house looks as well
as the day it was painted, while
the father’s house has all chalked
off and needs painting very badly.
The father says he will paint
with Devoe next time.’’
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.
ORDERLY EXCURSION
TO OREGON FLATS.
The Sunday excursion up the
White River branch added fur
ther laurels to the crowns al
ready won by Messrs. T. H.
Reamey and Gus Coffin as ex
pert handlers of passenger
traffic and ought to provide them
each with snug berths in this de
partment.
Over 700 enjoyed the ride and
k*„
scenery, but the crowd was a
most orderly one. Owing to a
break on the engine the train did
not reach Newport on its return
until about 11 o’clock.

Dean Robottom of Trinity Ca
thedral is in New Orleans and
there is a rumor in circulation
that he may accept a call to one
of the leading Episcopal churches
in the Crescent City. Members
of Trinity Cathedral in this city
are extremely uneasy in regard
to the possibility and are making
every effort to induce Dean Ro
bottom to remain here. He has
strengthened the church much
since he came here four years
ago and the members would re
gret to lose him.—Little Rock
Gazette.
TO THEINSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in
companies that, with two or three
exceptions, have been compelled
to withdraw from the state on
account of the. anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14
old line stock companies, with
pam-up easn capital ana witn in
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity
bonds, note the difference), and
are prepared to issue you insur
ance just as reliable as any we
have here-to-fore written, to the
limit of the carrying capacity of
the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
service than can strangers or
outsiders.
We write farm property and
risks in adjacent towns, and will
give prompt attention to all ap
plications.
Our office is now in Col. Mi

The Magnetic North. ^
The belief In the constancy of the
Magnetic compass to the north pole has
sot the least foundation in fact. At ev>
ary different place on the globe it points
in a different direction, and only one or
two of them are due north. In London,
(or Instance, it points to a place about
IT degrees west of north. Seventy-aa
years ago it was still further away, be
ing then 24% degrees, or a quarter of
the way around to the west. In the year
1S80 It pointed 11 degrees east. Then It
began to move north till 1659, when it
pointed due north. But it remained
thua only for a moment, passing around
to Its greatest dfeflectlCb In 160 yea rat
Again it turned In 1S20, tnd is still mov
ing nearer the north, tt will not reach
that point for nearly a century and a
