To the Tobacco Growers.

We, the business men and citi-
zens Of Martin, recognizing the
great benefit that the Farmers
Protective association has been to
the farmers for the past eleven
years in getting good prices for
their tobacco, and learning through
the management OF the assocla-
ton that unless a very much
greater number Of tobacco grow
ers in the western district sup
port the association by pledging to
them their tobacco, that this
organization will have to surrend-
er and quit business, and be-
lieving that this would be a
great calamity to come upon
the country, we would advise the
people Of Weakley county to sup
port the association by pledging
their tobacco at once: J. w. Rank

Dear teacher, as your super.
intendent let me urge each of you
to attend these meetings. 1t is
true we had a large number
present, but great many of our
best teachers were absent. An
other thing that was very en-
barrassing to the chairman Of the
association, as well as to the
superintendent, was, that not a
teacher Of the county who was on
the program was present. How
ever, as one teacher remarked,
just before leaving for home, ut
was one Of the most profitable
meetings we ever had" And we
regret so much that SO many
missed President Brister's adj
dress.

DIDN'T WANT TO MEET HIM
CoIored Parsons Description of His Satanic Majesty Brought Converts
 to Mourners' Bench.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar, who in days gone by used to make periodical visits to Danville, says the Advocate, for the purpose of deliver ing his sermons, remarkable on ac- count of their startling texts, on one occasion spoke to a large assemblage of the colored population and few whites at the old colored Methodist church on Walnut street. He arose, raised his spectacles from his eyes, and said:
 My beloved brederen and sisteren, I take my tex dis evenin' in dat DOT tion uv de Scriptur' whar de 'Postle Paul pints his pistol at de 'Phesians. an whar it says. 'Whar de hen scratches dar's de worm, 'cetpin' de case whar sum previus hen hay bin dar.'" He then proceeded to tell his hearers what horrible personal ap. pearance the devil presented, with the following description: His eyes look like two balls uv fire, his teef like two skinned saplins, his ears hang down like a 'baccer leaf an his pref smoke like a tar kittle." That night Peter made many converts.

FALLING FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now-Also
 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's luster, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's s Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incompatible gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual. ly see lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp Adv.

GOOD FOR NATIONS HEALTH
Beneficial Results From Early Entry of Spring Vegetables Into the
 Markets of the Country.

One of the marvels of modern life is the early date when spring fruits and vegetables appear in the markets. Seven years ago they almost always went North in a wilted condition. With modern facilities these products of southern attitudes appear in northern towns in marvelously fresh condition.
 For the great majority of people pre- maturely early food products are an impossible luxury. But the growing wealth of the country is signified by the number of people who today feel that they can afford to buy these early garden products. For people of means it is healthful way of spending money, which otherwise might go into highly seasoned cooking and stimuli lants.
 Also the cost of these early products has not increased as much as one would expect. They are raised in so much larger quantities that compett- tion keeps prices somewhere within reason. Regular markets have been established and transportation costs are greatly reduced through volume of traffic.-South Bend News-Times.

Winter Chills Bring Kidney Ills

A spell of cold, damp weather is always followed by fine crop of kid ney troubles and backache.
 Colds and chills damage the kid neys. Other troubles common to win ter weather are just as bad. Grip, ton silitis, quinsy, pneumonia or any other infectious disease hurts the kidneys by overlooking the blood with poisons. The kidneys get worn, weak and in- famed trying to work it off.
 It isn't hard to strengthen weak kidneys though, if you act quickly. At the first sign of backache, dizzy spells, headaches, loss of weight, nerv- ousness, depression and painful, irreg- ular kidney action, start using Doan's s Kidney Pills. Rest the kidneys by simple eating, avoidance of overwork and worry, and getting more rest and sleep. A milk diet is fine.
 This sensible treatment should bring quick benefit and prevent seri- ous kidney diseases like dropsy gravel and Bright's disease.
