Interested. The meeting will continue

Of Hobgood is assisting
| FRIEND. CAN'T YOU DO IHI5?- Tell
! your neighbor what you think Of The
DEMOCRAT. If YOU think 4 is worth
cents q week in a mans home tell your
| neishhOr 50, and perhaps he will sub
scribe. Sl0O year is only 2 cents a
week, you know. If YOU don't think the
paper is worth 2 cents week don't
tell any one you do. We do rot wish
| to deceive any one. If you think the
paper is not worth cents week tell

prove it.
KEEP THE PREMISES CLEAN-Stench
from back lots sOWs the seeds of dis
ease. The town laws require every
person to keep his premises clean. The
very best people sometimes neglect this
very important matter of cleanliness
or the premises. Warm weather is com
ing OF and all who fail to keep their
Yards and lots clean to that extent be-
come harmful 20 the interests Of the
town. Use plenty of lime.
For GAPEs N CIICKENs.-Fanny
Field says--Put several chicks affected
In 4 box, tic piece of coarse sacking
or cheese cloth over the top. spread
some fine air-sacked lime on the cloth
and Jar it so that the fine lime will sift
down among the chicks. The lime in
hailed by the chicks affects the cape
worms so that their hold on the wind
pipe is loosened, and also causes the
chicks to sneeze and cough and throw
up the worms.
THE TRUTH OF THE PUDDING. =
Some men say that advertisements in a
local paper do no good. The public
already know who has goods TO sell and
they will come to buy when they want
something But Mr.. n. B. Josey does
not talk that way. He voluntarily said
to US yesterday that the little ad he put
in THE DEMOCRAT about guano sold for
him % tons more than he would have
sold without it. 4 word to the rise is
sufficient
EGGS-ACTLY, OR ACTIVELY EGGING.-
Mr.. 3. y. Ora. tells TIE DEMOCRAT of
the performance Of turkey hen that
beats the record, to be sure. He saws
the turkey was put into a lot where
there were no other fowls except
chicken hen with some young chick
~
were three eggs in the lot and from
their size they were turkey eggs. one
was Q regular full size tuli,"r egg, the
other matured without shell and the
third was not mttt.rcd. He thinks
that taking the turkey from her nest
and keeping her day was the cause Of
the freak. He has no doubt about the
fact that he turkey laid all these eggs
in the time named.
lir J. Z. Boyette also tells how one
hen egg Of small size, with she'll around
it, was found inside OF a common sized
hen egg. Now, if any Of the quill
drivers want to hear something better,
lust let them egg us on with a better
story than this and we Will see what we
can pick up again in another egg hunt
