A Clean-Up Week, Novem.
 ber l3..-l6

Every farmer in the cotton
 country ought to appreciate, if he does not, the danger from the boil Weevil next year. The loss in Arkansas has been less this year than any other southern states. Thousands of farmers in other cotton states will be obliged to accept charity this winter. Thousands of others will be obliged to live on the poorest fare, all because the boil weeyil practically destroyed their crop of cotton. Arkansas farmers planted early last spring and cultivated their fields better than ever before and picked off first appearing weevils, and yet the loss in some sections was

from twenty to fifty per cent. Now, let us be wise and swat the boil weevil when we can, There are two things to be done now and both must be done be- fore the rains set in: CD Flow cotton fields now, blowing under all stalks, leaves and trash; CD Rake up all trash along fence, ditches, roadsides, edges of timber adjoining cotton fields and about cotton sheds and then burn, burn, burn and thus de- stroy millions of the boil weevils. Why not set the week of Novem- Der 13 as Cleanup Week" and let every cotton planter and every cotton farmer plan to be busy that week with harrow, rake and torch?

ON every hand we here the claims that the country is over- flowing in wealth and that pros perity is in our midst. The banks are receiving larger deposits than ever before heard of. This in the main we learn is by the farmers and planters. We are informed that in Holly Grove last Saturday about one hundred hundred thousands dollars were deposited in the banks of that thriving little city. The high cost of living it would seem should cut no figure now since money is so plentiful, but to some classes 1t does. The wage earner, whose income has not been increased with the soaring skyward of all food stuffs is find- ing it hard to make ends meet.
 The merchant, manufacturer,
 professional men and all who have people in their employ working for a salary should con- sider the proposition as to wheth- CT they are receiving for their labors sufficient amount to en- able them to live honestly and comfortably. Also consider, owing to the better condition of the times if they are entitled to just a little better pay anyway.

DAIRY FARMER HAS
 GAINED 30 POUND! Declares He Now Eats Better, Sleeps Better and Feels Better in Every Way Since
 Taking Tanlac

Everybody in Columbia. Tenn, knows F. c. McGavock, who owns and operates a large dairy business in that city.
 If there ever was believer in Tanlac," said R. Nj. Smiser, the well-known Columbia, Tenn. druggist, it is MT. McGayock, as he talks about it all the time. But he has a right to talk, as no medicine has ever helped any one as much as Tanlac has help ed him. He really does not look like the same man." Here is MT. McGavock's statement:
 T have nov taken five. bottles of Tanlac aud Ihave gained thirty pounds, If ypu don't believe it, right here l am, cbre and look at me. dod't>k1ow what my trouble was1buth was all run down and twas unfit for work. I think, thought it must have been my stomach, as I had no appe- tite and nothing seemed to agree with me. I was also ner- vous and could not sleep. I just kept going down hill and losing weight right along, and nothing did me any good until Smiser, the druggist, told me about Tan lac.
 'I tried it on his recommenda- ton and it helped me from the first few doses. The medicine seemed to take hold right al once, and 1 began to eat better, sleep better and feel better right from the start. If anybody wants to know what 1 think o1 Tanlac, just tell them to come and see me. 1 am righ here in Columbia. Tanlac ha. simply made new man of mt and expect to tell all my friends about what it has done in my case"
 Referring to the above state ment, c. F. Willis, Southern distributor of Tanlac, said: ''Tanlac is without exception the greatest medicine of it's kin( on the American market today The extreme popularity of Tan lac can only be accounted for by the extraordinary merit of tn, medicine. The system, besides
 being purified, is toned up ant
 invigorated. as the preparation
 aside from its cleansing tn,
 blood, revitalizes the constitu
 tion, overcoming. as it quick,
 seems to do, nervousness, indi
