Hopkins and children were visiting on

stone likes DIR. Snowden's suggestions
on the peanut industry, and thinks
there Is more in this matter than ap-
pears on the surface. There are large
areas of land, even in our trucking
section, that are splendidly adapted to
peanuts, and will not profitably pro-
duce anything else, at least while cot
ton and melons sell so low. fan out
let could be formed for the product at
satisfactory prices, thousands of acres
now unproductive would be planted
in peanuts, the nuts sold, the tops
converted into hay to feed improved
cattle, and hogs fattened on the nuts
left in the ground. Old Marion would
become land of plenty, a new Go
shen to which the hungry of other
sections would come for corn and meat
"a land flowing with milk and
honey. Will not Ocala's capitalists
erect plant at the county site for
pressing the nuts and making the
meal? The same machinery could be
used to operate cotton seed oil mill.
If good strong company was formed,
ofiicered by conservative business
men, contracts could be made with
our farmers for planting thousands of
acres, the nuts to be delivered when
harvested to the mill in Ocala. Pay
ment could be made so per cent. cash,
- per cent. in meal or oil, and % per
cent. in stock of the company. With
good roads to the county seat our
farmers would haul their peanuts and
tobacco to Ocala for market, and
go back home with their wagons
loaded with goods bought from Ocala
merchants. Ocala would again be-
come trade center and her latter
glory would far excel her former splen-
dor. ToUCHSToNE.
The Grandest Remedy.
Mr.. r Il. Greeve, merchant, of
Chilhowie, Va, certifies that he had
consumption, was given up to die,
sought all medical treatment that
money could procure, tried all cough
remedies he could hear of, but got no
relief; spent many nights sitting up
in chair; was induced to try DR.
Kings New Discovery, and was cured
by the use of two bottles. For past
three years has been attending to
business, and says DIR. Kings New
Discovery is the grandest remedy ever
made, as 1t has done so much for him
and also for others In his community.
DIR. Kings New Discovery is guaran-
teed for Coughs, Colds, ana Consumpt-
ion. 1t don't fail. Trial hotties free
