Wheat in BrOOkhaVen.

Since the publication in The
Leader last week of the wheat crop
which was being raised by Mr..
Floyd Middleton at Montgomery,
four miles north Of Brookhaven,
the attention of The Leader has
been called to the fact that Mr.. S.
P. Bloom, Of the Grafton Drug Co.,
has three-quarters Of an acre at his
home on South Railroad Avenue
that could not be surpassed in the
best wheat belt in the United
States, most Of it now being
shoulder high and the heads meas.
uring from to inches in length.
Mr.. Bloom expects to get about
four barrels Of flour from this
patch, when it is cleaned and
ground.
Mr.. N. E. Spencer is prepared
this year to clean rice as well as
bolt flour at Furr's old mill stand
northeast of the city.
Considering that this has been a
bad year, as far as weather condi-
tions go, for the wheat crop in this
county, and Notwithstanding which
Mr.. Middleton and Mr.. Bloom both
have done SO we'll, another season
the farmers should profit by their
experience and plant liberal
acreage.

Memphis is composed very large
II of Mississippians and is support
ed largely by the patronage and
produce she receives from Missis-
sippi. a fact she gratefully appre-
ciates. Mississippians throng
every phase OF her Iife-commer-

cial. Many of our readers will be
pleased to know that Gus. T. Fitz-

Brookhaven. is one of the leading
members Of the Memphis bar and
one of the most honored and in
fluential citizens Of Tennessee.
Memphis is one Of the growing.
bustling cities of the South, with a
great future. It claims, and gives
the figures to prove it, that that
city has grown more in population
and wealth than any other city in
the United States, namely: Popu-
lation Of Memphis in 1880, 33, 1892;
in 1890. 64.495; in 1900, 102, 800; in
1909, 206, ,437. One Of the princi-
pal reasons for the remarkable re-
cent and continued growth Of
Memphis is the fact that it has
eleven trunk lines Of railroad
operating seventeen distinct lines
in and out. Another reason is that
=. s.
Memphis fully appreciates and
utilizes the Mississippi river and
its tributaries. and is now the
home port of more than enc hum
dred and fifty steamboats,. Five
hundred manufacturing industries
add greatly to the prosperity of the
city. Memphis has many attrac-
tions as a place for residences and
homes. These include many
schools, seminaries and colleges;
numerous churches: an abundant
supply of artiesan water the model
sewerage system of the United
States; 8l4 acres of improved parks
and improved fair grounds contain
ing Ill acres; 120 miles of electric
street railway; and 160 miles of
improved streets: and two good

An Experts Opinion Of Skin Dis eases.

A prominent, national expert on
skin diseases whose name you are FAM
iliar with says that IN alllhis scienti-
fic experience he has never found so
hard case to conquer as Eczema.
Yet he does not hesitate TO recommend
ZEMO as a most successful remedy
for the treatment ofeczema, itching skin
diseases, dandruff, pimples, black
heads and all other diseases of the
skin and scalp. He says that not only
do its curative qualities make it
popular but also the fact that it is a
clean, liquid remedy for externaluse.
A great improvement over the old
style greasy salves and lotions which
Are not only unpleasant to use but do
not destroy the germ life that causes
the disease. ZEMO draws the germs
to the surface and destroys them, leav-
ing the skin clear and healthy. Can be
used freely on infants. The Price
Drug Company will gladly supply
those who call with free sample bot
tie Of zEMO and a booklet which ex-
plains in simple language all about
skin diseases and how to cure YOUR
self at home with ZEMO.
