1t is not only an apt setting for the clever

A PERFECT FOOD.
That SCOTS Emusic

That SCOTS Emulsion
should act SO quickly and
satisfactorily in all cases
of lost flesh and continued
wasting is not surprising
when its food value is un-
derstood. With pure Nor
wegian cod liver oil, hypo-
phosphites of lime and
soda and glycerine, there
is combined in SCOTS
Emulsion the best ele-
ments of nourishment and
strength building known
to medical science. Any
physician will tell you this.
The use of these ingredi-
ents in the proper proper
tons; the employment of
only the purest grade of
each, and to combine them
perfectly is the secret of
the success of SCOTS
Emulsion. You will not
find a more certain way to
stop waste, build flesh and
strength and supply nour-
ishment than through
SCOTS Emulsion.

Cotton growers of this section are de-
laying their preparations for the planting
of the new crop.
The slump in the cotton market yester-
day after the receipt of the census re-
port was the subject of much oonver-
sation among a number of farmers who
were in the city, but none of them ap-
peared to believe that the decline was
other than temporary.
w. S. Brown, the prominent cotton fac
tor. said that it was almost too early in
the season for any opinion to be formed
relative to the acreage to be planted in
cotton in this district next spring. He
expressed the belief that an estimate Of
cotton acreage could be made by March
/, but hardly before.

COTTON GROWERS DELAY
PREPARATIONS FOR CROP

Mr. Brown mentioned that there was
reason TO believe that the farmers would
have difficulty in obtaining sufficient la
Dor. Some farmers who have attempted
to make preparations have discovered that
there is a scarcity of labor already. and
the indications are that the matter will
become more serious as the time APP
proaches for the seed to be placed under
ground.
Few farmers are said to have obtained
fertilizer yet. although a number have
made inquiries relative to their supply.
1t is not expected that many farmers will
purchase their fertilizer for two weeks
or more yet, according to men who are
in touch with the cotton growers.
