The Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church celebrated their silver or twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization of the society at the home of Mrs, J. M. Johnson Thursday evening.

But four of the charter members are now living in Carbondale, Mesdames Lawrence, Rapp, Johnson and Porter, A pleasant feature of the evening, especially to the older members and residents of the city, was the reading of several letters from former members who have since moved away, among them being Mrs. Abner Parmalee, now of Pinoy Flats, Tenn.j Mrs. Cora Hamilton Stanley, of Elgin; Mrs. Anna Hamilton Burk, of Golden, Mrs. Field, of Harvey; Mrs.

These symptoms indicate that a tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make digestion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Herbine will do; it is a tonic, laxative and restorative.

At the receptions given by Miss Bowyer and Lightfoot, and by Miss Ellis, some of the refreshments were mysteriously made way with presumably by members of the junior class, and the latter evened up matters by tendering the seniors an elaborate banquet at the home of the Misses Salter last Wednesday evening. To make sure that no purloining be done on that occasion Prof.

Allen was delegated police authority and stood guard over the refreshments, and it is stated that he sat on the ice cream freezer until refreshments were ready to be served. A Itemi'dy.

Letter to Mr.

J. W. Miller. Carbondale, Til. Dear Sir: What is lumber worth? "Depends on the you say sort do you want?" That's how some people talk about paint.

They ask: "What'll you paint my house for?" The Yankee answer is: "How do you war.t it painted? One coat? two coats? three coats? first-class or cheap?" The proper answer is: "I want the best paint put on as it ought to be." That's'Devoe; bub the usual answer "I want a good but I want it cheap." Which means: I want you to paint it for nothing. I want to be fooled. Lead and oil is the costliest paint there is: not the best; it used to be best. Devoe is best, since zinc came in: Devoe Ready Paint. Zinc toughens the lead and doubles its wear.

Zinc costs no more than lead; and we grind by machinery. We have no patent on zinc; but nobody else is treating it, right. Devoe is your paint. Yours truly, F. W.
