IARBORO M VI, 1910
DR.. &. II. Stcrens:
Dear Sir-I feel vory grateful for what your
valuable midicine, Vegetine. have done in my
family I wish 10 eXpross my thanks by In
forming you of the wonderful cure of my son /;
also to let yoii know that Vegetine is the best
medicine T over saw for Chilks, Shakes, Fever
anG Iqus. Ny son was sick with measles IN 1915
which left him with Hip.joint disease. My son
suffered great deal of pain, all OF the time Inc
pain was so great he did nothing but cry, Inc
doctors did not help him particle, ne could not
lit his foot from the floor, he could not move
without crutches. 1 read your advertisement IN
tho Louisville Courer-J ournal, that Vegetlne
WAS great Blood Purifier and Blood Food. Il
tried one bottle, which was great benett. he
kept on with the medicine, gradually gaining.
He has taken eighteen bottles in all, end ne is
completely restored to health, walks without
crutches or cane. He is tWonty years of age. L
have younger SOD, fifteen years Of age. who is
subject to CjtiLts Whenever he feels one COM
ing on, he comes in, takes dose of Vegetlne
and that is the last Of the Chill. Vegetne leaves
no bad effect upon the system like most OF the
medicine recommended for C1tiLis. I cheerfully
recommend Vegetine fur such complaints,
think it is the greatest medicine in the world.
Respectfully Mrs. j. w. LLOYD.
VEoETINE.-When the blood becomes lifeless
and stsgnant, either from change OF weather or
Of climate want Of exercise, Irregular diet. or
from any other cause, tho VEGETINE will re-
new the blood, carry off the putrld humors,,
cleanse the stomach, requisite the bowels, anu
mpart tone Of Yigor to tho whole body.

CAMEL BREEDING IN TEXAs.-A Texas
camel breeder, speaking Of the rearing Of tho
"ships of the DESERT" says:-"They arc no
more trouble to raise than horses or cattle. Tho
colts for the first three or four days are rather
tender and require close attcntoo, put alter
that take their chances with the herd. They
feed on cactus and brush, eachewiug all grasses
that horses and cattle cat if the iavoritc cactus
can be had. The females with proper care
give colt every year, and the PRICE at Whlch
thcy arc sold, the case with which they arc
raised, their extreme docility, and the adapta-
biity of our climate to their nature. would seem
to indicate that camel raising is profitable
business 10 Texas. Mr.. LanIear says there is
one camel in the herd that has travelled $50
miles between sun and sun, and that almost any
we'll broken camel is good for moro than 100
miles in day.''-LouisuWe Courier-JOur1upl.

Mr.. JOHN r. GOODPAsTCRE left
last week for the purpose of pursuing
his studies for the ministry. He
was, as is well known, a member OF
the GAINESVILLE bar, and is a talented,
promising young man. He would
have risen to prominence as a
lawyer, and he will make his mark
as minister of the gospel. He is
one of the most conscientious, high
toned gentlemen we have ever
known, and we know him we'll.
He was independent in his opinions,
and shrank from no duty, and
having been convinced that it was
his duty 20 preach, he at once put
aside everything else. He was a
member of the last Legislature,
making for himself a record in tnat
body of which he may feel justly
proud. He was then from Overton
county. He was q delegate from
this county to the Gubernatorial
Convention that nominated Marks.
Although he has been in our midst
only a few months, he was univer-
sally respected and beloved by all
who came in contact with him, and
we bid him God speed in his new
and noble calling.
