NO CAUSE TO DOUBT.
A Statement of Facts Backed by
A Strong Guarantee.

We guarantee immediate and
positive relief to all sufferers from
constipation. In every case where
our, remedy fails to do this we will
return the money paid US for it..
That's frank statement of facts,
and we want you to substantiate
them at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping excessive
looseness, or other undesirable
effects. They have very mild but
positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact,
apparently acting as a refulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat
of the bowel, thus overcoming
weakness, and aiding to restore the
j bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
RexaIl Orderlies are indispensable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We
cannot too highly recommend them
to all sufferers from any form of
constipation and it's attendant evils.
That's why we back our faith in
them with our promise of money
back if they do not give entire
satisfaction. Three sizes: II tablets
( 10 cents, SO tablets 25 cents and so
tablets 80 cents. Remember, you
can obtain Recall Remedies in
Marietta only at our store, The
Rexall Store. w. A. Sans Drug

A WORD Of WARNING
TO THE FARMERS.
Mr. J. W. Hardeman, a Prominent
Merchant and Cotton Dealer of
Marietta Writes Interesting
ly on Cotton Situation.

Now is the time for you to be
wise, and cut your cotton crop.
Cut it 40 or so per cent. You can
get more money out of a ten or
eleven million bale crop than you
can from a fifteen million bale
crop.
To illustrate In the fall of 1910
cotton brought from $75 to $50 per
bale. What was the cause of this
There was not enough cotton to
keep the mills running, and every
mill was hunting cotton. 1t was
scarce, and they were willing to
give any price rather than shut
down. Now in the fall of 1911,
note how conditions changed. We
have a fifteen and one half million
bale crop and the mills and specu-
lators are making the price and
that price is about $50 a bale less
than in 1910; and who is to blame?
The farmer. Why? Because you
got living price in the fall of 1910
and you lost your head and in
creased your crop three and one
half million acres.
A greater mistake could not have
been made,
Who is the sufferer? The farm
er, and when the farmer suffers the
whole country suffers with him.
Now let US look at our mistake and
not be caught twice in the same
trap.
In 1910 we had thirty-two mil
lion acres in cotton and used from
$50 to 200 pounds of guano per
acre, Our crop was 100000
bales. The average price for this
crop was Az cents.
Now take your crop of 1911. You
planted thirty-five and one-half mil
lion acres. an increase of three and
one-half millions and used from 200
to 800 pounds guano per acre and
our crop, with a very dry August,
was 100000 bales not counting
linters and repackers.
The result is you are getting an
average price of 81 cents for this
crop, Don't you see your mis-
take?
Thirty dollars a bale less. Can
you afford to repeat this crop in
1912? ! say no, verify no. If you
do, middling cotton will sell for sc
per pound next fall and you will
bankrupt yourselves and the whole
country with you, and | appeal to
you to use JUDGEMENT and DIsCRE-
TON and cut your cotton crop.
Cut it for your countrys sake,
cut it for your own sake, cnt it for
your family's sake and then cut it
again. The time to whip Wall
Street is Planting Time.
You know they find out your
acreage and begin to sell your cot
ton before it is out of the ground.
If the farmers of the whole cot
ton belt will adopt the South
Carolina plan, they can whip this
fight and right this wrong by May
list. They have organized and are

To The Music Loving Public.

The McConnellsburg Band will
hold a festival on the square at
the Court House Saturday even
ing, June 20Gh, for the purpose Of
raising money TO defray a part of
the expenses connected with the
Band.
The management expects t.
solicit a greater part of the re
freshments that will be served al
the festival; so look for the so
llcitors. If they fail to see you,
This time they Will call upon you
next time,
Complaint has been made that
the Band does not play at differ
eht places IN town. IL is lmpos
sible to give concert IN front OF
each individual residence. If we
were to attempt thlH, we should
then have to go to the country,
for some of our support comes
from there. Now, to be fair, we
have estabh' he'd a standard place,
the Public Square, where we ex-
pect to give our concerts through
out the summer. When we play
on the Square, the concert is for
the public; when we play IN front
of an individual residence, it Is
for individuals.
The Band will give concert
during the evening of the festi-
val, and we sincerely hope the
public in general will help US
along.
