How Poor Folks Can Buy Land.

this plan. Let us say there was 100
acres II lend in cultivation for sale a.
$50 per acre. suppose if was improved
and the part with the house, baras, elc.,
cost $40 per acre. The other ninety
acres would then cost $1,000. Dividing
this by nine we would have debt Of
S17S against each man. Now ii man
on good land would plant his ten acres
in cotton, unless the season wss very
bad he would make four bales. By
paying $2s cash he could give one half
Of what he made on the ten acres fer
two years and thus pay for it. Don't
build on 1t until its paid for. This
plan is worth trying. When you buy
the land however, be sure to separate
the notes. Den't make yourself liable
for the other fellows part. That's
foolishness. Have your deed for your
ten acres and the notes drawn up
against you for your part only.-Help-

Something About Cement.

We are In receipt OF letter from Mr..
Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, in which ne sets forth some very
Interesting facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this stand.
ard article know that it Is many hun
dred per cent. better than other
ceHents, for which similar claims are
made. but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and ether manufacturers Go
not use them, because they are toe
expensive and do not allow large prof
it's. Mr.. Msjor tells us that one of the
elements Of his cement costs So 75 a
pound, and another costs 81 65 gallon,
while a large share of the So called
cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved IN water or cltric
acio, and, in some cases altered slightly
in color and tdor by the addition of
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
ana twenty-five cents bottle, and
when a dealer tries to sell substitute
you can depend upon it that his only
object is 10 make larger pr, fit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make Oh
any cement. And this is doubIy true
in view of the fact that each dealer gets
bis share Of the benefit OF Mr.. Majors
advertising, which now amounts to
over IS 900 month throughout the
country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't &C
cept any offhand advice from a drug
gist.
Always have a supply Of Majors
Clements on hand.
If you are st all handy (and you will
be likely tc frd that you are good
deal more so an you imagine) you can
epair your rubber boots and family
shoes, and aoy other rubber and leather
articles, with Major.s Rubber Cemen;
and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save
