Clarke County Farmers Meet

Ameeting Of all the farmers of Clarke
county was held to discuss the new con.
ditions brought about by the advent Of

of a programme for the diyersifcation
of crops during the coming year. 1t is
purposed to find out what crops have
proven most profitable in the territory
alreary invaded by the weevil, and if

THE STATE BANKS REPORT.
Show a Loss in Total Resources of Forty
Thousand.

Jacksonville auditors office has com.
piled a statement of the Bag banks at
the close of business on November 16,
which is given below.
1t shows that as compared with the
statement of last year for the same
period of time, the individual deposits
subject to check have decreased in the
sum of 1892, 1905; but on the other
hand time certificates of deposit have
increased $707, &c., 3.
On the other hand there are ten more
state banks than there were on the call
ending November 16, 1910.
The loss in deposits is largely attrib-
utable to the exceedingly short cotton
crop in Mississippi, and the fact that
what cotton has been made is not being
marketed to any extent at the present
low prices the staple is bringing.

We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and
continue to sell 1t as we do. II we were
not certain that it will do all we claim
it will. Should our enthusiasm carry
us away and Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
not give entire satisfa ction to the rs
ers, they would lose faith in US and our
our statements. and in consequence
our business prestige would suffer.
Therefore. when we assure you that
IL your hair Is beginning to unnat-
urally fall out or II you have any scalp
trouble, Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
promptly eradicate dandruf, stimulate

know what we are talking about.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is vastly dif-
ferent from other similar preparations
We believe that It will do more than
any other human agency toward re-
storing hair growth and hair health. It
Is not greasy and will not gum the
scalp OF hair or cause permanent stain.
It IS as pleasant to use as pure cold
