Dear Home Folks:
Have just finished work and as
Sid is not through yet thought I
would write you all a letter on
the machine just for the practice
and to let you know that all is
well and I am in the best of
health and enjoying life to the
fullest extent with the exception
that I get homesick occasionally.
We got out a kind of special
on account of the Fat Stock
Show that convenes here the
rest of the week and they liked
to have worked us all to death
in the add room but we managed
to make it all right and get most
of the ads in the edition that
goes to Ballinger.

Dear sir: The Fair Ground
buildings, Cobleskill, N Y, were
painted Devoe last year.
Two [other-paint agents said
the job would take 150 gallons
(their price was 15 cents less a
gallon).
Our agents said not over 125.
It took 115. We save ’em at
least $140 on paint and labor.
The American House, Tanners-
ville, N Y, was painted two coats
last year; not Devoe.
Mr Charles Haner, across
the street, put-on one coatdevoe.
Mr Wiltse (American Houre)
is sorry he didn’t paint Devoe.
Haners one coat was better than
Wiltse’s two.
Depends on the paint.

The political pot is beginning to
boil pretty lively since the meet-

Legislature, so we see from the
Austin Statesman, and we are
glad to note that our friend,
Hon. Tom Campbell, one of the
Candidates for governor, is
deservedly forging to the front
with the masses of the people of
every section, and we take this
time, though early in the Cam-
paign, to cast our support for
him for that position. Knowing
him as we do to be a man of
strong moral worth and ability,
strong in his convictions and out

his views on public questions,
not waiting to feel the pulse of
the public, .but tells them his
views and comes to them upon
these views for their support and
influence for that office. He is a

state an excellent executive. One

dence and one in whom they
can depend for a practical, non-
