Vernon, November 5.-(Special.) )-Promi- nent planters say that in all sections of the county the corn crop is above an av- craze for number of years as to acre age, yield and quality. The cotton crop will fall short of last years crop, but the fair price of cotton. about 14 cents, and the high price of cotton seed, from 4o to 50 cents per bushel, will more than make up for the shortage.
 The sweet potato crop is fine and the chants report very good trade and col lections and farmers, who have been in debt for years, are paying out and have some money left.
 There are two banks in this county one at Sulligent and one at Miliport. both of which report good and safe business, The planters are in better shape finan- eialy than they have been for number of years, and the outlook for another year is brighter than usual.

 J. B. White, general merchandise. thinks sales are % to 40 per cent bet ter than 1909, collections 50 per cent bet ter. People are not buying the same things as last year because they have plenty on hand. Sales of breadstuffs, meat, corn. hay and flour are much less than last year"

Westmoreland, one of the representa- tive farmers of Lauderdale county, said: 'The farmers of this county have made the best crops of corn and cotton except ing 1908 that they have ever made and with the increased price of cotton and cotton products they are in the best financial condition for years.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
 A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It Ky Starving It Either--Let
 Substitute Do the Work

Don't Do It Ny Starving It Either--Let
 Substitute Do the Work
 The old adage, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" applies just as well to the stomach, one of the most important organs of the human sys- tenn, as 1t does to the man, himself.
 If your stomach is worn out and re- bels against being further taxed beyond its limit, the only sensible thing you can do is to give it a rest. Employ substitute for short time and see if 1t will not more than repay you in results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are will ling and most efficient substitute. They themselves digest every bit of food in the stomach in just the same way that ,the stomach itself would, were it well. They contain all the essential clements that the gastric juice and other diges- tive fluids of the stomach contain and actually act just the same and do just the same work as the natural fluids sound. They, therefore, relieve the stomach, just as one workman re- lieves another, and permit it to rest and recuperate and regain it's normal health and strength.
 This vacation" idea was suggested by the letter of prominent lawyer in Chicago. Read what he says: q was
 
 taking of my life In bringing about the coalition of certain great interests that meant much to me as well as my clients. It was not the work of days, but of months, I was working night and day almost, when at a very critical time my stomach went clear back on me. The undue mental strain brought it about and hurried up what would have happened later on.
 What I ate had to literally force down and that was source of misery as l had sour stomach much of the time. My head ached, I was sluggish and began to lose my ambition to l carry out my undertaking. It looked pretty gloomy for me and confided my plight to one of my clients. He had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia l Tablets and at once went down to a drug store and brought box up to | the office.
 l T had not taken quarter of that box before l found that they would do all the work my stomach ever did, and as rest Or vacation was out of l the question for me, determined to 1 give my stomach a vacation, l kept right on taking the tablets and braced up and went ahead with my work with renewed vigor, ate just as much as ever did and carried out that under | taking to a successful issue. feel that I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to thank for saving me the handsomest fee ever received as well as my repu- tation, and last. but not least, my stomach"

needs, whereas last year we bought many cars. The cotton crop will yield about the same number of bales with price some better than this date of last year. In the northern half of the county the cotton crop was badly hurt by the recent freeze. The cotton crop is later than last year. hence collections are not so good as this date a year ago."
 II. B. Brock of Fort Payne. one of the most successful merchants in North Ala bama, said: :" am glad to state that the financial condition of DeKalb county is In much better shape than it was this time last year, largely due to the better yield of the corn crop, and more hay and other feedstun saved than usual.

Fayette, November 5.-(Special.)- )-E. F. Thomson, cashier of the Fayette Coun- ty bank. said: "Our collections this year are altogether satisfactory. We make many loans to farmers. Our cus- toners have increased more than 50 per cent and our deposits have increased more than 30 per cent in P months. Many farmers carry balances to meet operat- ing expenses during crop seasons. They are patronizing the bank more and more each year. Money conditions among the people generally are better"
 E. F. Mcclure, one of the leading farm CTS of the county said: There is more corn raised in Fayette county this year than in any year I remember. Less corn will be purchased next spring than ever before, and even though the cotton crop Is short, present prices will enable the farmer to pay his debts, school, clothe and supply his family and better prepare for another year. They are coming to realize the importance and value of di- versifed and intensive farming. Better schoolhouses and churches, better stock and general improvement are fin evil dence. know numbers of men who are able and are holding cotton for 15 cents, who short time ago would have been compelled to sell to meet their mortgage debt.''

Bank deposits are 50 per cent greater, cotton is 30 per cent more and selling at bet ter prices the best corn yield in our history is resting in the bins and there are no complaints from the merchants.
