Your PHYSICAL Condition

needs attention at this time. If you are
tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much over-work or
strain on brain and body. The course
of treatment for such condition is
plain and simple. The blood must first
be purified so that the nervous system
and in fact all the organs will be fed
upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss CT SLEEP
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in word, health and happiness

WIRE TIES A SUCCESS.
So Say burst & Co., Greenwood
Merchants, Who Sell Them.

Editor Register: Knowing the
interest being taken in the fight
against the "Cotton Tie Trust" we
will state our experience with the
wire tires. We use a tie twelve feet
long, made of number 5 wire,
weighing from 43 to Al ponnds per
bundle Of 80 ties. (This is about
the average weight of the so-called
45-pounds trust ties. So you see
there is no loss in weight. We have
within the past two weeks sold
eight hundred bundles of these
ties and are unable to supply the
demand. Our farmers and ginners
are highly pleased with them, and
don't want any other. If all our
towns will act in this fight as
Greenwood has, the "Tie Trust"
will soon be thing of the past.
hot a single new tie has been used
here this season. When we can't
get the wire tie, we use the Old
refunded ties. There has also
been a good many number 6wire
ties sold here, which weigh about
81 to SO pounds per bundle. Of
course the heaviest ties pay bet
ter as there is but ten cents per
bundle difference in the retail
price. Yours truly.
