suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from

At last the cotton mill here has gotten
it's electrical machinery in shape, and this
newspaper is surely pleased. For the
past two months we have had no power

printed under great difficulties. Very
often we would get to ready print on
Wednesday afternoon, and then not be
able to get hand to run the press. For
several weeks our office force has had this
work to do, and of course it took an un-
usual time. This fact explains why The

Money in Cotton.

Mr.. W. L. Mitchum, of the Ehrhardt
section, certainly made success of his
cotton crop this year. He made twenty
nine bales of long staple cotton on thirty
acres, and he has sold most of it at an
avcra ge of thirteen cents the pound. he
will get at least 81 800 for his crop, and
the expenses of making and gathering
certainly will not be over $500. This
gives him $1,000 profit on thirty acres OF
cotton, which is pretty good for bad
wear.
