A VERY QUEER CROP REPORT.

One Correspondent Reports the Best
Money Crop on Record.
1t is usual for the Commissioner of
Agriculture to send out self-addressed
cards with blank forms on back for the
monthly crop report. Mr.. Mewborne yes
terday got one of these back, On which
was written the following: 1--WE will see
you later about it! Meantime don't send
any more at present, as We have more
money than we can keep concealed, and
it would be ruinous to be suspected of
receiving any from Raleigh. Will let
you know when to send more.
Secretly yours, xxx.
Address me at C, n. c."
The postmark ON this postal card is so
blurred that it is impossible to tell where
it was mailed.

MRS. JOE PERSONS RENE. :
A WONDERFUL MEDICINE

Five years ago was completely III
down from general debility. My livelS
would not act. l had indigestion, was
just as nervous as l could be, and was
always tired. The least exertion would
bring on shortness of breath and it was
a drag to keep up. A friend of mine who
had been cured by using Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy told me to take it. I
bought u dozen bottles and took it just
because l had to take something. I suf-
fered greatly from wakefulness, would
lay awake often the greater part Of the
night, unable to rest or sleep, and when
l had finished the six bottles, I WAS
WE'LL. Indigestion cured, that short
ness of breath cured and felt like an
other person. Mrs. Joe Persons Rene
dy is a wonderful medicine. 1t did me
more good than anything l ever took in
my life.
