a Beau Of 1929

When grandpa went a-wooing,
He wore a satin vest,
A trail Of running roses
Embroidered on the breast.
The pattern Of his trousers,
His linen, white and fine,
Were all the latest fashion
In eighteen twenty y-niue.
Grandpa was a fne-looking young fellow
then, so the old ladies say, and he is fine
looking old gentleman now. For the past
score of years he has been firm believer in
the merits of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1T renewed my youth" he
frequently says. It is the only blood purifier
and liver invigorator guaranteed to benefit

cures liver disease, dyspepsia. scrofulous
sores, skin eruptions, and all diseases Of the
blood. For the lingering coughs and con-
sumption (which is lung scrofula in its early
stages) it is an unparalleled remedy.

acreage by 10 per cent. owing to the
low price OF cotton. The stand, how

farmers plOwed up their peanuts and
planted corn ana other crops, which
will reduce the general average.
Owing to excessive rain and Door
cultivation, this crop Is grassy and

The present price for Virginia
