Clinton Of the board of trustees, ad-
vises us that almost any school in this
section can get one by making appli-
cation to Mrs. E. B. Heard Of Middle

the matter, the benefaction comes
through Mr.. Carnegie and the Sea-
board Air Line railroad. Mr.. Carnegie
furnishes the books and the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad company delivers
them to points along it's lines free of
charge for freight. The libraries are
sent out in sections Of thirty or more
books each and the sections are inter-
changeable every six months. There
is absolutely no cost connected with
the benefaction except for transporta-
tion from the nearest Seaboard Air

ested. can get full information by writ
ing to Mrs. Heard at the address men,

That Car Load of
OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS

4 BOUT which we have been telling
~ you, has arrived. We have sold
quite a number and Of course expect
to sell them all and order more In the
course of time. If you have never
used one just ask your neighbor about
how he likes his. We are satisfied
that he has one and we are entirely
willing that he shall express his hon
est convictions as to the merit Of the
Plow without any suggestions from u.s.
We know that the Oliver Plow has
neither rivals or competitors In Its par
ticular sphere, and to prove this will
simply say that there are about twen-
ty-fve concerns in the United States
that make so-called chilled plows, along
with other tools, implements and ma
chinery while the oliver people manu-.
facture nothing except plows and sell
so per cent of. all the CHILLED plows
sold and used in the world. Could
there be any more conclusive proof of
the superiority Of their goods? The
Overwhelming majority Of farmers do
not buy the oliver PIow because they
are cheaper than others, because they
are not, or because they love the Oil
YER people, but because they know
they are the "BEST ON EARTH"
