TIMELY TOPICS

IHCT NOW Both Rice and
UOO1 NVu Sugar Planters
are forming plans for the en-
suing season and looking
about for the best imple-
ments for preparing their
lands for next years crop.
Orders are coming in fast
for the famous ADVANCE
Double Furrow, roller Coul-
Ter plow, voted last year the
best implement for the pur-
pose ever introduced on
these Islands.
Profiting by previous ex-
perience, we have ordered a
new supply, in anticipation
of a run upon them.
We also carry the we'll
known "Perfect" double
mould board plows in three
sizes, viz: IL, ID and IS inch
burrows and also the per
feet breaker plow in II, IA
and IS inch sizes.
The merits of these plows
are too we'll known to need
booming up. They perform
their work in the manner
their name implies.
We have a large assort-
ment of Rice plows, in sizes
ranging from a 6-inch to a
IS inch cut, also Cultivators,
Harrows, and a full line of
Avery's sugar land imple-
ments, including stubble
diggers, cultivators, fertili-
zer distributors, etc., etc.
Planters are invited to
open up a correspondence
with us or call in and look
our stock over.

lady of the house, who formerly took
great pride in the appearance of the
garden and grounds surrounding the
home, and she will shake her head in
disgust if you remark about the no.

modesty suggested that she ought not
to accept and wear a gift from an un-
known giver-and she withdrew it
quickly from her finger and determin-
ed to return 1t. But now the question
arose: to whom? where?
After reasoning with her conscience
she again put in on her finger. 1t fitted
nicely and produced mysterious pre-
sentiment of coming bliss, and sensa-
tion about her heart which she had
never known before painted her cheek
with the lovely color of the tea roses on
her valentine, and she said emphatic
ally, "He shall be my ideal; can con-
struct him as lil1e-I shall make him
as handsome as Apollo and as gifted;
and who can chide me If l become
hero worshiper?" And he only asks
that think of him.
Her soliloquy and state of curiosity
were interrupted by friend and COM
rade of the art school, Mrs. Bird, a
widow lady of wealth and an enthus-
ist about art, like herself, whose er-
rand was to propose journey together
to the cradle of art. Estelle was only
too glad to accompany her and accept

from showing her valentine or speak
ing until long afterward of the little
talisman that now seemed almost like
a betrothal ring. The congenial friends
made their trip series of delights
and would have regretted reaching
their destination SO soon if they had
not been just in time for one of those
annual fetes which the American club
of artists delight to celebrate.
AS they were speeding along on their
pleasure jaunt seated on the deck of a
comfortable beat watching their COM
panions and enjoying a delicious breeze
and the varied scenery-mountain

-Estelle observed picturesque look
ing young man, artistically dressed, as
suited the occasion, gazing with sur
prised and earnest look at herself. His
rich brown hair and glowing eyes of
the same color reminded her of her
ideal, the beautiful hero whom her i'm
agination had created, and she felt the
finger encircled by the mysterious ring
give little throb in unison with her
heart beat. At this moment to her sur
smile and nod of recognition and before
she had time to recover from her
confusion of mind, Mrs. Bird requested
permission to introduce her artist
friend, Henry st. Leger, and she very
soon found herself absorbed in CONVEX
sation with the most attractive man she
had ever met.
But 1t was long after this. on another
ST. Valentine day, when the artist
friends homeward bound. sat gazing
down into the dark blue waves-that
she laughingly gave an account of her
first valentine and the little circlet OF
gold, which she observed, but did not
know why, attracted his attention and
excited his curiosity. that he ventured
to tell Of his long years study and self
denial, whilst at the same time he had

A sick man is prisoner in
the Jail of disease; he has gone
in by some door of carelessness
or neglect or irregular living,
and he must unlock this same
door by careful, sensible habits
if he wants to be a free, well man again.
If dyspepsia and biliousness or constipa-
ton is the way he got into disease, he has
got to overcome just those troubles before
he can get out.
The majority of diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver, which prevents the supply of proper
remedy for these troubles is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, because it gives
the digestive and blood making organs
power to assimilate food and transform il
into pure. nourishing blood vitalized with
an abundance of red corpuscles.
II acts directly upon the liver and gives
It capacity to filter all bilious impurities
out of the circulation. It builds up solid,
muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force.
In obstinate constipation the "Discov-
