Mr. A. A. Poindexter, Columbus, Ga:
Dear Sir:-I beg to say to you, and to
the public, in behalf of Poindexter's
Tonic, that some months ago I was
troubled with fullness after meals which
caused me great unpleasant feeling, and
at times l would have something like
asthma to such an extent that | would
have to go out in the open air to get re-
lief. A friend of mine recommended
Poindexter's Tonic, and after using two
bottles of the above Tonic, find myself
entirely relieved. | can now eat any
thing that I want without any unpleas-
antness at all, and l do not have any
symptoms of asthma whatever. AS a
general tonic l consider it unequaled;
also for Indigestion or any stomach
trouble.
Very respectfully

getting $62,772.8O.
The settlement was formally made
bv the taking of a court order be-
fore Judge Pendleton in Fulton SUI
neror court, the litigation in the
United States court having been dis
missed. 1t was thus reopened in
the state courts for the purpose of
settlement.
Those Who Made Agreement.
The parties to the settlement were
Attorney General John G. Hart, rep
resenting the state, and Col. A. R.
Lawton and T. NJ. Cunningham, Jr.,
of Savannah, attorneys for the rail-
road company, the agreement having
been brought about as the result of
conferences between them.
1t will be recalled that about a
year ago similar litigation involving
the taxation of a like amount of the
same stock owned by the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Co was set
tied by the payment, in satisfaction
Of all taxes claimed, of $685., 900.
This was distributed among the
state, Richmond county and the city
of Augusta. The claim against the
Central of Georgia was settled for a
smaller sum, because of the fact that
litigation rested on a somewhat diff
ferent foundation, involving legal
questions which made it a more diff
cult if not more doubtful case.

LITTLE WAITRESS WAS READY
Clearly Nothing Doing in Usual Line of Talk for the Fresh Tray
 cling Man.

A good story is going the rounds about a drummer and pretty wait ress. Here is what happened, accord ing to the report:
 The dapper little travelling man glanced at the menu and then looked up at the pretty waitress. Nice day, little one" he began.
 Yes, it is," she answered, "and so was yesterday, and my name is Ella, and I know I'm a little peach, and have pretty blue eyes, and I've been here quite while, and like the place, and l don't think I'm too nice a girl to be working in hotel; if l did I'd quit my job; and my wages are satis- factory; and I don't know if there is show or dance in town tonight, and if there is I shall not go with you, and I'm from the country, and I'm a respectable girl and my brother is cook in this hotel, and he weighs 200 pounds, and last week he wiped up this dining room floor with fresh $50-a-month travelling man, who tried to make a date with me Now, what'll you have?'
 The dapper little travelling man said he was not very hungry, and cup of coffee and some hot cakes would do.

COOPERATE IN FARM PRODUCE
Advantages Arising from United &c- tion in Raising and Growing
 Crops of All Kinds.

The attention of the farmers Is again called to the advantages arising from united action in growing and selling stock, grain, produce of any kind, in order to make and hold a good local market for the same.
 But even where there is united ac- tion along breeding lines, something more can be done to make the local ity one profitable alike, to the buyer and to the grower If in a given neighborhood, say a dozen men would arrange to begin feeding their hogs or cattle at the same time. in the same way, with common sale dats in view, much larger and better quality of beef could be put onto the market at some given date to the ad- vantage of the feeders.
 A market where carload of choice cattle can be picked up on call is desirable market from the shippers standpoint. He will be willing to shade his prices somewhat in favor of those ready to meet his reouire- ments, or failing that, the grower then has it in his power to combine and ship for himself, and probably greatly to his advantage
 This is a phase of the marketing problem that should not be lost sight of during the time between this and the opening year. Where two, or three, or half dozen men can go together, feed at the same time. and put their stock on the market when it is in it's prime, they will find a neat profit in the operation.
 No effort should be neglected which has for its object the bringing of buyers to sellers. When the seller has to send his produce, whatever it may be, to a distant market to be sold by third party he is at dis advantage. This is situation which cannot be escaped at once, but it should be grown out of as rapidly and generally as possible.

Strictly Neutral.

Among the humorous and human stories in Dr. T. l.. Pencils recent book, Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier is one of British officer in the Kurram valley who inter- rogated an Afridi with regard to what was then considered probable con flict.
 Now tell me-" said the officer, If there were to be war-which God for bid-between Russia and England, what part would you and your people take? Whom would you side with?'
 Do you wish me to tell you what would please you or tq tell you the real truth?" was the naive reply.
 q adjure you to tell me what is the white word"
 Then said the old graybeard, i've would just sit up here on our noun tain tops watching you both fight, un- til we saw one or the other defeated. Then we would come down and loot the vanquished till the last mule! God is great! What a time that would be for us!"

FARMERS RUN OWN ELEVATOR
How They Are Managed in South Da- kota and Wisconsin-One Seasons
 Business at Madison.

The following article relative to farmers elevator companies is taken from the Indiana Farmer:
 Learning of the desire on the part of some of our subscribers to form or ganizations for owning and managing farmers elevators, we addressed note of inquiry to the editor of the Minnesota and Dakota Farmer and here is his reply:
 Your letter of the 29th ut. in refer ence to farmers elevators is received. We haze such an organization in this city and I interviewed the secretary and asked for copy of their bylaws. They have no printed copies, but l gleaned the following from their writ ten copy. Name, Farmers Shipping association. Organized under the gen eral corporation laws of the state. Capital $5,000, 200 shares. Purpose. handling and shipping all kinds of farm produce and articles of farm consumption, coal, lime, salt, etc. Charter runs 20 years. Have nine di- rectors. Constitution consists of six articles; bylaws, 25 sections. First nine sections pertain to duties of di- rectors aud officers; 10 to IA, meet ings and seal; 15 to 1S about stocks and assessments; I9 relates to mem bership 20, transfers; 21, election in June; 22, amendments; 23, not more than 8 per cent. of stock can be held by one person or by other than farm  CTS; 25, order of business.
 They pay the manager here $90 per month. These companies are gener- ally successful in this state, the one here paying as high as 40 per cent. Their success depends largely upon the manager. A few have failed. I asked the secretary if the association paid more for produce than other ele- vators. He said the prices were about the same as the old line companies paid, but that the presence of an in- dependent company had a good effect on grain rates in a town.
 Very truly, R. F. KEER.

We would all live in a fools para disc but for life's bitter blows.
 Good advice is seldom taken save as it is given in practical doses.
 No man gets any higher in charac- ter than he wishes all others to be.
 Keep your troubles for yourself and your smiles for friends and the world.
 Boost your union just a little all the time; it will do no harm at any time
 Indications are that there is a spirit of revival in the union all over the state of Texas.
 Many men think that they are yielding big stick, when it is only a track hammer.
 There is satisfaction in knowing that your neighbors are probably say ing just as disagreeable things of you as you are thinking of them.
 Many a farmer fails to get ade- quate returns from his farm because he stays at home too closely, puts in too many hours a day following the blow, and does not often enough visit good farmers in his neighborhood or other sections of the country where good farming is done.'
 The farmer who is dissatisfied with his income from the farm needs to think seriously as to whether or not his farm is planned right for the largest returns, remembering that good farming calls for keeping up the productiveness of the farm while getting maximum crops economically from the soil

FIGURING ON ANOTHER CROP
Farmers Should Plant Wheat, Oats, Potatoes and Other Crops to Make
 Living at Home.

As the time is coming close at hand for another crop, now is the time for us to figure our standing crop. Boys, did you ever stop to count up the cost of our years living and what it costs us to buy it out of this old cotton? Did you keep your books of all the outgo and income for one year out of this all-cotton business and then stop to think what We are doing?
 Did you know that the gambling thief was stealing all our income we have?
 Such men as cotton classers from one or two at every station where cot ton is dumped off, class cotton for you and the big shippers paid by the cotton companies do business for us at salary of $1,S00 a year.
 Well, that looks good to the class CTS; say, boys, how does it look to you? Well, I will say that it looks like the Irishman's razor back pig to me, and he said, "The tail was too long by half
 Now, boys, let's all plant some wheat, oats, potatoes, peas, pumpkins, sugar cane, peanuts and corn and raise our hogs; yes, we can make a living if we will only try, writes J. T. Ray in Cooperation. Such thing as a debt among the old blow boys will be unknown. Say, boys, it is shame on our past to do as we have been farming It is worse than a shame to go to town and buy meat and bread all on credit.
 Say, you take meat at the price now, 16 cents, and flour at $3.30 per hundred, cash. Meat at 16 cents cash, 300 pounds of meat will cost you $S0 and 1000 pounds of flour costs $30.30 and so up the line it goes and gets worse and worse. It looks like the Irishman's cat that fell in the well. He looked at the cat as it was going off almost dead, said, Faith and begad, look what a long tail it has got; it would look better with no tail at all" So we would be better with no debts at all. Come out on the business of the living well and that is to do it at home.

 Indeed I will" she replied. 'It is simply outrageous that parents should bring their children up so they will behave that way. Did you find out who the children were?"
 "Yes, l found out" the principal said, scowlingly. "One is your nephew and the other is my son." he replied, and the woman teacher almost col York Press.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de- rived from eating is the pleasure one gets in the knowledge that his food is giving him greater strength and vii tality
 Because of this fact there is a con- stant increase in the consumption of Quaker Scotch Oats; every time the strength making qualities of Quaker Scotch Oats have been tested by sci entific investigation or by experiments in families it has been found to be a food without an equal.
 It builds the muscles and brain with out taxing the digestive. organs it costs so little anyone can afford it, and it is so carefully prepared and packed that it is absolutely pure and clean. A Quaker Scotch Oats eating family is always a healthy family.
 Besides the regular. size packages Quaker Scotch Oats can be bought in dramatically sealed tins. Packed in this way it keeps fresh and sweet in any climate. Il

Dairy on Poor Farm.

A poor general farm. by inteni- gent management, through dairying may be made into rich farm and be placed on a high paying basis. It is the most direct and the cheapest way of feeding the soil and of making it grow more fertile and productive each year. Rough and concentrated feeds given to dairy cows not only go for producing milk and butter, but for rich fertilizers to build up the soil with the proper handling of the ma nure. The man who makes dairying one of the main branches of his farm ing and sticks to it for a number of years, may not get rich quickly but is sure to get rich sooner or later
