And yet, despite these drawbacks,
the producers OF this majestic Com

tion. We have never looked upon
the gloomy side of life. Dissappoint-

as our millions of tons of forage.
But we hand to the outside world
about 5000, 200 bales OF cotton. worth
more than $20o.000,000: we part with
some $60,0o0.000 to $75.000.o00 worth
of live stock and live stock products;

other States who seem to have moth

our onions, cabbages, cucumbers,
strawberries, tomatoes, blackberries.
etc., to the tune of s10000,000 or
more; we have parted with millions
of dozens of nice fresh eggs and roll
ing fat chickens; we have shipped mil
lions of pounds of wool; We have sent
from our forests tens of millions OF
dollars worth of lumber; our vast pro-
duction of oil has for the most part
left our borders; we are now harvest

of rice which will come in contact
with the innumerable midsts of our
innumerable countrymen: We have
added richly to the worlds stock of
silver bullion; we are marketing mil
lions of pounds of the purest honey

and are sending thousands of tons of
richly favored Gulf fish to people who
generally feed on crawflsh and cat
fish; our sweet potatoes to the tune
of 100000 bushels will go into the

pecans, peanuts and tens OF millions

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE.
Druggists Will Battle Stomach Trou-
bles in Union City.

The increase Of stomach troubles in
Union City has led the Red Cross
Pharmacy to take effective measures
to combat the disease. They have
the local agency for Mi-o-na stomach
tablets, and in order to induce people
suffering with weak stomach or indi-
gestion to use the remedy, offer to
supply it with the distinct under
standing that money will be refunded
in every case where it does not cure.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive, but
an absolute strengthened and builder
up of the whole digestive tract. If
you suffer with headaches, giddiness,
palpitation, bad taste in the mouth,
nervousness, coated tongue, distress
ger eating, use Mi-o-na and see how
quickly these symptoms of weak
stomach will disappear.

macy give a guarantee to refund the
