Dear Sir: We suspect you’d
like the tale, how a woman beat
two hardware dealers in Girard,
Pa.
! We tried our best to get those
| men to sell DeVoe lead-and-zinc
; in that bright town; and failed.
■ Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R. Bow
• man, druggist.
They said they couldn’t sell
paint for more than $1.25 a gal
lon. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint that
has been sold there since.
She knew' DeVoe; had sold
our artists’ materials. Had
j some sense and force, besides;
i she easily learhed that cheap is
! dear in paint, and told the peo
| pie.
i Mr. Burt Young bought a gal
lon Devoe for rooms that had al
ways taken a gallon of other
! paint; had half left.
* Mr. E. H. Hiler, jeweler,
painted Devoe, and says it goes
: further—no particulars.
! Mr. John Hanna, grocer,
j thought it expensive before he
bought it; brought back nearly
half of His paint, and said it was
' the cheapest job he ever had.
| Mrs. Bowman reports univer
sal satisfaction. So much for a
cheap paint town with a bright
, womjan in it.
Yours truly,

Into Lumber Section Five Miles
From Weldon to He Complet
ed In Forty Days.
Special to Independent
Weldon, May 28.— One of the
largest development enterprises
undertaken in Jackson county is
the building and equipment of
five miles of railroad by the
Muirhead Lumber Company,
with headquarters here. The
company is building this stretch !
of track from their manufactur
ing plant here to a very fine and
large body of timber in the
White River bottoms. It is the
ultimate intentton of the com-1
pany to extend this line later in
a Southwestern direction and to
completely equip it for the hand
ling of business.
The engine, car trucks, ma
chinery and steel rails arrived
here last week over the Rock
Island, but owing to foundry de
lays, it will be something like
40 days before the road is do
ing regular hauling.
The proposed name of the
new road is the Weldon South
western and it is owned exclu
sively by the Muirhead Lumber
Company, Mr. C. W. Muirhead
to be general manager.
This will mean $5,000 a month
for the town of Weldon, whose
merchants are delighted with
the prospects.

Plans For Bridgewav.
The bridge commissioners, W
D. McLain, J. W. Grubbs and J. j
R. Cox, are now constructing a
temporary road across the low
lands east of the lake, which
will run around that body of wat
er near the Iron Mountain track
and then turning southwest, will
enter the city at the Rock Is
land depot, crossing on Second j
street.
The commissioners have ac
cepted the plans of William J.
Parks of Pine Bluff, who is re
cognized as one of the leading
bridge designers and engineers
of the country, the estimated
cost of the improvement being
$28,000. A bridge of one or sev
eral arches as being a more beau
tiful design was considered by
the commission, but abandoned
on account of the cost, which
would have run from $35,000 to
$42,000 depending upon the de
sign.
The bridgeway is to have a j
30 foot driveway and comparing
this with the sixteen foot drive
of our present structure gives j
one an idea of how large and am
ple are its proportions. Upon
either side, a concrete railing of
42 inches in height will add to
the safety of the pedestrian and
the architectural beauty of the
bridge. While the approaches to
the bridge are to be of dirt, they -
will be paved with vitrified brick
or wooden blocks, preferably the
former if the cost will come
within the engineer’s estimate.
Supporting the bridge, there
will be six piers of solid concrete
12 feet by 50 feet at the base
! and running up to a top meas
urement of 28 inches by 42 feet.
Upon these piers rests the
weight of the bridge through
i six concrete girders running the
entire length of the bridge. The
two center ones are to be extra
heavy that the birdge may in
! the future support an interurban
street car line.

Complaints Are Adjusted.
Walnut Ridge, May 28.— This
has been a week for settling the
remonstrances that grew out of
the assessments on lands for
the diggii g of the running wat
er ditch. Persons dissatisfied
with their assessments appeared
before the drainage commission.
Out of the 40 dissatisfied land
owners the commission adjusted
the matter satisfactorily with
34 of them.
Six went before County Judge
Bassett and he made satisfactory
adjustments with all except
Isaac Less and the Frisco rail
road. Their cases will go to
the circuit court. But this will
in no way interfere with the
work on the ditch. The commis
sion composed of W. A. Cunning
ham, H. W. Townsend and L. C. j
Doyle, will now put the bonds
on the market and proceed with
the work on the ditch.
