LACK OF rain SHOWS
ON CROPS OF COUNTY
DrOuth is Having Bad Effect
Now

Farmers coming to Americas yester-
day stated that in many localities the
crops, both corn and cotton, were be
ginning to show the effect of dry
weather. 1t has been two weeks or
more since there was a general rain
and the intense heat within that time
is now having serious effect, more
particularly upon the corn crop.
Cotton is withstanding the drouth
very well, particularly the first plant
ing of the crop, which is we'll fruited
and promises a good yield. Young
cotton of the re-planted crop, which
is about forty per cent of the total
acreage here, needs rain now.
Other crops besides corn and cotton,
particularly sugar cane, peas, pota-
toes and the smaller crops, need rain
very much. The sugar cane crop has
been very promising up to this time
but it will be seriously damaged un-
less rain comes shortly The corr
crop, too, is promising, but will be cuI
off if the drouth continues long.
Some sections of Sumter, especial
ly that about Plains, has had no rair
in many weeks, and crops of all kinds
are injured already to considerable de
gree.

IT IS WONDERFUL
Many People of Americas Are Re-
porting Great Results.

Many newspapers of Southern Geor-
gia during the past few months have
published a great deal about the med
icine that is creating so much talk
here in Americus Judging from the
reports that are now pouring into the
different stores that are helping TO
advertise it, Globe Tonic is even more
wonderful than is generally supposed.
A number of home people that have
suffered for years from indigestion
rheumatism, kidney troubles or ner-
vous affections are reporting rapid re-
coyery under the Globe Tonic treat
ment A well known lady, who for
social reasons, does not wish her name
to be published, said: Il was confined
to my bed when | commenced to take
Globe Tonic, but after taking few
doses, was able to get up and am
rapidly regaining flesh and strength.

the medicine, and the food | forced
down would sour and ferment in my
stomach, causing raw, burning SEN
sation that was almost unbearable, but
after taking the great remedy few
days, | am able to eat anything and
digest it without a single disagreeable
SYMPHONY The demonstrators at
528 Cotton Ave. are now busy listen
ing to reports of this nature and ex-
planning the curative value of the
great medicine. They have hundreds
of testimonials and many of them are

the county. The tonic seems to havY
