If you don't paint them, how much less will they be worth in a year ? It will cost more to paint next year; it will take more paint at about $5 a gallon for paint and labor. How much is the cost of paint by the year? Depends on the paint. An average job is 3000 square feet, 10 gallons Devoe: $2.25 a gal? lon for paint and $2.50 a day {$2.50 a gallon too) for painting: ?$4.75 a gallon: $47.50. How long will it last? Depends on the owner: say 5 years; and your cost for Devoe is $9.50 a year. "Cheap" paint, $1.75 a gallon, takes 15 gallons, labor the same $2.50 a day or gallon: $4.25 a gallon: 15 gallons $63.75. Say it lasts 2 years; it isn't sure two years; it isn't sure at all. Enough: "cheap" paint costs more than good. J. Willard Adams.

Yerby, the faithful colored cook of one of the mess?* This soldier slave, who is men? tioned In the foregoing roster, d?' serves a place of distinction in Con? federate annals. He Is today a wealthy contractor in the nation's capital, but his love for the cause and th?? men he so faithfully served four years is still dear to his heart. When the day comes for unveiling the monument to the "Confederate Negro" one of Its foundation stones should bear the simple name of "Jo. Yerby". He entered the service with Cap!. R. H. Pratt, serving through the war and brought out as many tro? phies as his white ?ompanlons In arms. Just before the surren? der his Blaster lastrneted him to strike for home with the three horses In their possession. This he succeeded in safely doing, going via Oordonsville, Orange, Frederlcks? burg and down the Northern Neck. At home he remained until the sum m?*r, when the stress of times forc? ed his ex-master to turn him adrift ' to hustle for himself. Going to Washington with but $15 in his pocket he is today a wealthy and respected citlaen. At the battle of Gettysburg two of the troop, Cockrell ami Sampson, were wounded. Jo. went Into the city, stole a horse and harness, se? cured a buggy In like manner from a farm near by and in It placed the wounded men and started them to? wards their home In Northum? berland county, with ?he parting re? minder that it was his team and he should call for it when he re? turned home. When he got home the. grateful "rebels" delivered him his, what some might say, ill-gotten gains. During the Federal Wilson's raid at Sopbronia Church, In Dlawlddie county, two sergeants of the 9th Virginia distinguished themselves for daring. They were Lai Wash ton, of Co. C, and Alex Pratt, of Co. K. Wilson was attempting to destroy the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad and the roan* swarmed with his infantry. Men could not see one another. Pratt and WasH lngton riding out a cross road ran, Into some scattering Federals. Too late to retreat, and not knowing their numbers, the two horsemen, dashed into them and demanded their surrender. Seventy-two Fed? erals laid down their arms and were, marched into the Confederate line. It was at this raid that Erasmus Williams, of Lancaster county, than whom none braver ever shouldered a musket, was shot through the1 lung with a mlnnle ball.
