Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga, Feb. 17.-As far as
prices go, changes during the past
week have been insignificant, but SEN
timent has undergone radical change
The respondent feeling has given place
to strong conviction in many minds
that the worst has been seen, and al
though the market may hutter around
the present level for awhile the next
move will be in an upward direction.
The reason for the re versaI of senti-
ment ir sound. Not only have weak
longs in futures been wiped out, but
a quantity also of weakly held spot
cotton has passed into the hands of
consumers. Thus the greatest menace
to the market has been removed.
In addition, the period of bearish
comparison with last years movement
is practically at an end and within a
week or so receipts will run sharply
below those of last year.
The new crop is now coming upon
the boards to divide honors with the
remarkably favorable dry goods posi-
tion in controlling prices. It viii! be
we'll for our friends to remember that
strong dry goods situation is the beat
foundation in the world for raw cot
ton market.
Anything which may threaten an in
sufficient supply for the new season
would be sure to be quickly reflected in
the option markets.

The world needs big crop of cotton

OLD AGE.
DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS, BUT
UPON VITAL FORCE,

In Americus lately there has been a
good deal of discussion in regard to old
people. Some at fifty years call sthem-
selves old, and really appear SO, while
others at seventy years seem active, vi
gorous and young.
It is not years, but it is loss of vital
force that makes person old. Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and poor
circulation soon start functional pow
ers and vitality on the wane, and then
the symptoms of old age quickly ap
| pear.
Our we'll known druggist, Mr.. J. G.
Dodson says ''that old feeling may be
warded off, and we wish every person
in Americus who feels old, whether
they are so in years or not, would try
the great discovery, Vinol. We know
that 1T has vital principles which will in
a natural manner strengthen digestion,
send rich, red blood coursing through
the veins, and give new life and strength
to every organ of the body, aud this is
what makes the old feel young again.
Mrs. Fl. w. Avery says:
sat the age of eighty nine I felt the
need of tonic, something to strength
en- and build me up. For some time I
have been taking Vinol, and I have
found that 1t brings vgor and renewed
vitality to the aged as nothing else
will"
VInol repairs worn tissues, checks the
natural decline and replaces weakness
with strength. II is an ideal body
builder for old folks.
We promise you that Vinol is, first
of all, agreeable, because it contains no
fishy oil. Seco d, that it is genuine
cod liver medicine, containing all the
medicinal curatives and strength. max
Ing elements taken direct from fresh cod
liVers; and third, we will return your
money If 1t does pot do exactly what we
claim for it," J. G.. Dodson, Druggist.
