Letter to M. S. Pierson.
aspermont, texas.
Dears Sir: No man is in a posi-
tion to influence men with regard
to their property more than you
in that little room where they
tell you their troubled. Pity, if
you don't know how to keep a
house dry and sound, any sort of
of structure, house, store, factory
warehouse shop, barn fence- any
sort of fence except rail; with
paint
What paint? The paint that
takes least gallons; for paint costs
money, and putting it own costs
twice as much as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it
includes the rest. One paint
wears long, another wears short;
6ut the one that wears long is the
least-gallons paint; least gallons
means pure and strong, and most
gallons means adulterated and
weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggests in-
terests of the United States not
the business of making it; no, the
business paint, taking care of
property. Paint is worth a great
deal more than it costs, and the
best costs least: Devoe.

ruary 1908. the file number of
said suit being 843, wherein Ma-
ry Simpson is plaintiff and Thad
P. Simpson is defendant, the na-
ture of the plaintiff's petition is
as follows:
Plaintiff alleges that on the 23
day of November 1901, that she
was lawfully married to the de-
fendant in Fannin county, Tex-
as, and continued to live with the
defendant until about the 25th
day of September, 1906—that
during said time she lived and co-
habited with the defendant, she
had two children, a girl named
Myrtle Simpson, aged now about
5 years old and a boy named El-
bert Simpson, aged now about 3
years of age. That defendant
disregarding his marital vows,
within about a year began a
course of harsh and tyrannical
conduct towards this plaintiff.
That such course of harsh treat-
ment continued with slight in-
termission, until she finally sep
arated from defendant about
Sept 25 1906. Plaintiff further
alleges that defendant is also
guilty of inflicting serious bodily
injury upon her, and cursed and
abused plaintiff and told this
plaintiff that if she told her fath
er of it he would kill him, and
by reason of the cruel and harsh
and dangerous treatment towards
her by the defendant, she was
forced to abandon the defendant
which she did do about the date
above set out, to-wit on the 25th
day of Sept. 1906, at which date
the defendant herein cursed and
abused plaintiff and struck her
with his fist, and choked her un-
til she was almost dead, and then
left her and her two children
without money or provisions,
Tliat since said separation defen-
dant has refused and still refuses
to provide for the support of her
self and two children. Plaintiff
prays the court that defendant
to appear and answer
this petition, and upon final hear
