To Much Money.

Last Thursday afternoon a rather
roughly dressed stranger put in an
appearance in Palmyra. and going
to the First National Bank, asked
for the use of private room in
which to count some money. He
was granted the favor and when he
returned to the cashiers desk he
commenced emptying his pockets
of bills of small denomination until
he had about bushel piled on the
counter. There was an even four
thousand dollars in the pile and
when Mr.. Proctor commenced to
question him in regard to his name
residence, ETC., he showed DISPOSE
ton to impart just as little informa-
ton as possible, with the result that
he was not allowed to make the de-
post. He then went across the
street to the Savings Bank, and
while he acted somewhat in the
same peculiar manner, J. E. Ander-
son, the cashier, took the money
and gave him a time certificate of
deposit. He then went to the Bank
of Palmyra and wanted to deposit
aUOut five hundred dollars and still
had big roll left, but by that time
DR.. Wood had heard from the
National Bank, and also refused to
take the money. The man gave
his name as G. II. Lower, and said
he was from Quincy, but positively
refused To state why he wanted to
deposit the money here or give any
information whatever about his
business. His actions caused con-
siderable curiosity, and he was as
carefully watched by officers and
others as any stranger who mas Wis
tied Palmyra in a long time. lie
drew the money out OF the Savings
Bank saturday and vanished. One
report is that he went to Monroe
City and bought a farm, having
sold one Ill the same vicinity a Jew

How TO Crol0 Peanuts Probably

don cotton and depend on peanuts
alone.
Six acres to the mule is as much as
ought to be planted in cotton under
boll-weevil conditions. Now the corn
crop may be planted early enough to
be laid by before much cultivation
is necessary in the cotton crop. On
well-prepared land peanuts may be
planted as late as June list, and have
plenty of time to make good crop.
Three or four acres to the mule plant
ed June LIST can be cultivated along
with cotton and it is not likely that
either crop would suffer for lack of
work.
1t is not advisable to plant land in cot
ton now that would make less than
two-thrds of a bale per acre without
the weevil. Every farmer has land
that is now too poor to risk cotton on.
This thin land by fertilizing little
will grow a good crop of peanuts.
Do not get the idea that any sort of
preparation and cultivation will do for
peanuts. The energy, industry and
skill necessary to grow and harvest
profitable crop of peanuts, if direct
ed Alright it will grow a profitable crop
of cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions.
There is a difference in the prospect
for the two crops. When you have
made your cotton crop, the buyers
are at your door clamoring for both
cotton and seed, while peanuts may
have hunt for a market. All indi-
! cations are that the cotton market will
maintain a high level, while peanuts
are expected to go much lower. Cot
ton is a gold bond with the coupon
waiting to be clipped; peanuts are a
promise not fully protected against
reputation.
1t is estimated that $4,000 acres
will be planted in peanuts in the state
of Mississippi, Perhaps half of the
yield could be easily marketed for
seed and to the peanut factories. If
we could get present prices for this
part of the crop, we could afford to
dispose of the remainder to the oil
mills at a much reduced price, and
still make money. But that portion
Of the crop that must be used for oil
knock down prices all along the line,
so we may confidently expect a much
lower range of prices for the crop of
1911.

Editor of The News:

Editor of The News:
1t is perfectly plain to everyone
that it would be more profitable to
grow peanuts than cotton if we could
easily market the crop of 1911 at the
prices prevailing now. Some may be
tempted because of the profit made on
the 1910 crop to substitute peanuts
for cotton as a money crop. For the
benefit of those it is well to look the
peanut situation in the face, and ex-
anime closely it's possibilities and it's
limitations.
A careful study of the situation
leads to the conclusion that it will be
profitable for farmers in the boil wee
vii section of Mississippi to plant pea
nuts as a supplement to the cotton
crop, but that it is not safe to aban-

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

steady growth of the peanut industry
seems good. Markets for compare
lively new products are not made in
day nor in year. They grow grad
ually, and production should be in
creased gradually and not by leaps
and bounds. If farmers of Mississippi
will be conservative, and plant cotton
as the principal cash crop, and pea
nuts as a supplemental cash crop, the
prospects are bright for splendid ad-
dition to our resources.
On the other hand, if we over do
this new thing, and considerable
number depend entirely on peanuts,
and fail to realize a reasonable profit
the whole thing may get a black
eye" and go the way trucking has
gone in many places.
If you are thinking of putting five
acres in cotton and ten in peanuts,
think again, and just try the reverse.
If you are thinking of putting in all
of your land in peanuts, and none in
cotton, stop thinking for whole day,
and see what a rested mind will do
for you. Don't let the tail wag the
dog.

SIS.
PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
In every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations Is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. SIS. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on

Remedy Free

When you suffer from any form Of
Indigestion it is always we'll to take
something for the liver, as usually the

Thousands of people first learned of

and bowel troubles through a free SAM

take pills or strong cathartics again.
as Syrup Pepsin acts so mildly. Mr..
w. L. Bryant, the Postmaster at Sardis,
Tenn, says he will never be without it

infancy to old age, because it is mild,
