COTTON AND RAIN.
Augusta, (Ga.) Chronicle.


A rainy August means a good
cotton-crop year, and, vice versa,
dry August means a bad cotton
crop year, said Observer Fisher
yesterday. A rain every other
day from now on till September
10 will mean a tremendous cot
ton crop in the South, he says.
From January l 70 August l
there was an excessive rainfall of
l.29 inches. With the rainfall
up to August 20, it has increased
the excess to seven inches. The
quantity of rain falling up to the
10th, during August, amounted
to, approximately, nine inches,
while the average rainfall for
August is SIS and, if there is
no further rainfall for the rest Of
the month, we will still have an
excess of 3.79 inches of rain, saws
Observer Fisher. This 5 is aver
age is for the past thirty three
years. The alternating-day rains
from now on, he thinks, might
cause some of the bolls to rot.
but for every boil rotting there
would be two new bolls to form.
He thinks if there is plenty of
rain from now on this mouth we
Will have the biggest crop since
1892. Then it was 1O,5OO,OOO
bales, but then there were only
19,000,0 900 acreage, while there
is nearly 25,Oo0,OOo this year, or
over 100000 more. With a
big crop and big prices there will
be a wonderful wave of prosperl-
ty in the South this fall.

1 WORD TO FARM 7OlLERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some fonn; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
TO cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges Of
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, anc
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound.
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and rigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids fren
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and tanis5cc-
neuralgic tortures; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life.- The use of Pa;ne's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the Igors OF a severe winter.
