The fact that poultry of all kinds is
bringing excellent prices this winter
suggests that there is one way for the
farmers to make easy money which
few of them in this county are taking
advantage. We say easv money, in
comparison to the present way in
which the major part of the farmers
of the county make their ready mon
ey. They depend almost solely upon
their tobacco and are disappointed
in weight, quality, price, or the sea-
son nearly every year This year it
s light weight, low prices and late
season. Instead of being well fixed for
the winter they are in the blues and
in debt. II they would give thier
time and money to raising poultry
they would enjoy much better results.
The market prices for poultry, of
course, are lot always good as theyare
this winter, but they are more uni
form and satisfactory year after year
than the prices paid Tor tobacco.

The great American trouble is in
digestion, largely result of the gres t
American habit of hurry.
Hastily swallowed meals are proba-
bly, the graetest cause of indigestion.
The stomach is given more than it s
share of work and is weakened. The
first thing to do in correcting the
trouble is to stop fast eating. The
next thing is to take good digestive
tonic to strengthen the digestion and
enrich the impoverished blood.
Such a tonic is Walther's Peptonlz-
ed Port, a simple combination OF pure
pepsin and good port wine to be had
at all druggists.

that the bands of precious metal were
