PECULIARLY PERTINENT PARA
GRAPHS.
High Endorsement.


DIR. George Walker, late of this place,
now first assistant on the medical staff OF
the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore,
saws: IT have critically examined the
formula of the preparation known as
Campbell's Anti -Ferment, and find that
it is a scientific combination of the best
drugs in the Materia Medica for the vari-
Gus diseases that have their origin in the
stomach and bowels and other troubles
resulting from arrangement Of them.
The above, of course, is theoretical opln
ion of the formula Of Anti-Ferment; but
i'm practice find that the theory holds
good, for in all cases in which l have
used it 1 have had most satisfactory
results.
What Makes a Baby Cry.
There are but two things that make an
infant cry-pain and hunger. Ninety
nine one-hundredths of the pain they suf-
fer is brought on by indigestion. The
collie they have is caused by indigestion.
The wind or gas that fills up the stomach
and causes it to distend to the point OF
hurting, is the result of indigestion. So
certain, no man on earth can dispute it.
Now the remedy. Anti Ferment? Yes,
Anti Ferment will crre them every time.
"a day old tonight BABY" can take it with
as perfect safety as it can its mothers
milk. 1t contains no opium, no narcotic
of any kind. 1t puts baby to sleep be-
cause it makes him feel good and he has
nothing else to do. We can prove this by
every mother who used it.

eve Speak What We Do Know
And testify that we have seen," and car
prove that you don't want, you don't need
ANYTHING but Anti-Ferment properly ad
ministered in the treatment of diarrhoea
dysentery, the summer complaints o
children and all disorders of the stomach
and bowels. The remedy is safe, speedy
certain. Don't get scared. Don't ask any
advice. Follow the direction on the bottle
and the fuller directions on the wrappe
around the bottle. The results are alway
most gratifying. JNo. G. kUYKENDAL.

THE COTTON ACREAGE.-The cot
ton report of the department Tor May
issued last Monday, relates to the pro-
gress of planting, and the proposed OF
contemplated average. The proper
ton of the contemplated area already
planted on the first of May was 87.s
per cent. which approximates very
closely the breadth usually planted al
that date, which is estimated at 49,
per cent. The estimates for the sever
al States are as follows:
Virginia 20; North Carolina 80
Georgia 80 ; Florida 100; Alabama SO
Mississippi 80 Louisiana SO; Texas S5
Arkansas "a =; Tennessee 73.
The reports of correspondents in re-
gard to contemplated acreage, indi'
Gates considerable increase over the
area planted last year. The percentages
by States are as follows:
Virginia 1O7; North Carolina III
South Carolina Ill Georgia 1l3 Flor.
ida 14S; Alabama Ill Mississippi ITO
Louisiana 1O9; Texas 115; Arkansas
12S !; Tennessee 1877; Indian Territory
159 !; Missouri 141.
The average for the country is l14.S.
Planting has been earlier than usual in
most of the cotton States, but much
complaint is made of fdrought in large
area in North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Alabama, retarding
the termination of the seed. In a few
counties in Texas, the Mexican weevil
is reported as doing considerable dam
age. As a general thing, the plant is
said to be in good condition, with favor
able season.

TT has been stated by somes meddle-
i some individual that owing to the fact
that had a monopoly of the ICE busi,
ness in Yorkville that was charging 2
cents pound, when the fact of the case
is that did not retail ICE at all but
furnished it to the soda fountains, and
other retail dealers at IS cents per hun
dred and to Others who only bought q
block, occasionally, I.charged one cent per
pound. ] did not retail ICE for the reason
that thought my retail customers should
be protected, and now since my motives
have been, possibly, purposely miscon:
strued, and I having bought my. ICE
cheaper than heretofore, have decided to
retail ICE at of cent per pound, and
sell any amount from ONE POUND UP.
I will furnish ICE to customers who will
obligate themselves to use 100 pounds a
day, at so cents a hundred. Send me
your. orders. Remember that the retail
price is only of q cent. 5s.,,-a:s,f g.
