The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain Liniment will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possible.
In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on by dampness or changes in
the weather, a permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. % and

5ISSI LIMO IN
COTTON Production

! 119,0O0000 pounds of lint. This is
23S,O00 bales, worth $11,900,000. This
is not from increased acreage, but is
from an increased production upon
the same acreage. Is that not cause
for satisfaction with the progress be-
ing made by the people of Mississippi?
Indeed it is.
Reference was made in this depart
ment some months since concerning
the increase in corn production on the
same acreage that amounted to the
tidy sum of $4,2OO,0OO. Adding this to
the increased cotton production We
have a grand total of $16100,000 per
annum from our two principal crops.
And this upon practically the same
acreage as five years ago. OF course
the increased acreage has nothing to
do with the average increase in pro-
duction.
And again, the writer insists that
Mississippi offers more to the man
seeking a home and who is willing to
work than any state in the Union.
Impress these facts upon the young
men and women and induce them to
remain with us to aid in the de
velopment of our resources.

Agricultural Commissioner II. E.
Blakeslee has compiled some very in
teresting figures, taken from the May
number of the Crop Reporter, issued
by authority of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, which shows
Mississippis average lint cotton per
acre to be larger than that of any
other state with the single exception
of Missouri, whose acreage is so
small as to be inconsiderable in such Z
tabulation as has been prepared. Mr..
Blakeslee's figures and comments
thereon as follows:
