SEVERE RAIN STORM
Effects of It Was Felt All Over Lime
 stone County

Athens, June 3.-(Special. )-This section was visited by the most severe wind and rain storm last night that has been known here in years Reports from all parts of the country today bring the news that the storm was felt all over the county, and great damage is reported to corn and grain. Corn that had grown very rank from the constant rains, and was quite sappy, broke and blew, down in great quantities The farmers are becoming desperately blue.
 Thousands of acres of corn that is now waist and shoulder high has never had a blow in it, and with the present prospects the farmers will have to abandon a part of their crops on account of trying to save the other. Grass in some places has com pletely taken the cotton. Not more than two days of sunshine has been had in this section during June. Farmers have had to harvest wheat on Sunday one farmer saying this morning that he had to run four binders on his farm all day last Sun- day to prevent his wheat from being ruin ed and that unless he should have few sunny days it would sprout in the shock.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.
What Becomes of the Patient?

Doctors have their hobbies as well as ota- CT people and in the treatment of disease often carry them too far for the patient s good. For instance in the treatment of in- digestion or dyspepsia many doctors give bismuth and nothing else, others rely on pepsin to bring their patients through, still another doctor treats stomach troubles with the various vegetable essences and fruit salts.
 Now one or the other of these excellent remedies becomes hobby with the doctor who has had most success with the partcu- lar one in question, because all of them are first class remedies for indigestion and dyspepsia, but not one of them alone is so good as a combination of all of them, such as is found in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets which contains not only vegetable essences and fruit salts, but also the freshest, purest pepsin and bimuth, making altogether a remedy unsurpassed for every form of in digestion, sour stomach, nervous dyspep- sia belching of gas, distress after eating sleeplessness, headaches, etc.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a se- cret patent nostrum, but you can see for yourself what 1t Is, and knowing this, its success as a dyspepsia cure is not surpris- ing. All druggists recommend and sell them at 50 cents.

In a great many places the plant has been drowned out, and replanting will be neces- sary. In others it has retarded the growth of the plant, and unless frost is late com ing the crop will be cut considerably short
 The railroads have rot yet suffered from washouts so far as has been reported, but unless there is cessation soon they will suffer.
