A SPRING TONIC
Old Reliable Hoods sarsaparIla is
Pleasant and Effective.

Your close confinement indoors
and heavy living during the winter,
and the torpid condition Of your
system brought about by cold
weather, have made your blood i'm
pure and weak, so that now erup-
tions appear on your face and
body, you lack vitality, strength and
animation, your appetite is poor
and you feel all tired out.
From any druggist get Hood s
Sarsaparilla. 1t combines Just the
roots, barks, herbs and other sub
stances that you need. 1t purifes
and strengthens the blood-makes
the rich red blood that you must
have to feel well, look well, eat and
sleep well.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not simply
a spring medicine it is an all-the-
year-round blood purifier and tonic
but it is the best spring medicine.
Remember it has stood the test Of
forty years. Be sure to get Hood S.

open book TO the taxpayers of Garter
county. He went into the office with
the promise 10 the taxpayers that he
would give them business admins
tration and treat all alike, regardless
Of political affiliations. His office
has transacted more business the past
year than ever in its history. The
fees collected average over $1,1OO per
month, which necessitates a great
deal OF recording.
This was made possible by the vol
umc Of oil business transacted, and
the oil operators, without exception,
have heaped praise upon the office,
saying that it was the only one they
ever had dealings with where the
work was kept up to the very minute.
Mr. Tyer is young man, and was
practically reared in this county. He
is a graduate Of the High school and
also of the Selvidge Business Col
lege. Previous to his election to the
present office he was connected with
some Of the best business firms of the
city, and to a man today they would
gladly welcome him back, at an in
creased salary. Since assuming the
duties of county clerk he has proven
that the confidence rcposed in him |
by the taxpayers of the county was |
not misplaced His official acts will |
bear the closest scrutiny, and the af-
fairs of his office are open at any
time. In asking the citizens to return
him to this office, he makes the same
promise that he did before,-namely,
an honest, impartial administration,
o which all the people may come at
my time during business hours and
'ece.ye the same courteous treatment
hey now enjoy. The taxpayers Of
'arter county will be wise to re,urn
shelton Tyer as county clerk.

DURWOODA AND
|NULKEY WILL
ORGANIZE
FARMERS WILL MEET TUESDAY
AND FORM ASSOCIATION TO
GROW PEANUTS. ACREAGE WILL
BE GREATER THAN EXPECTED.

The farmers of Durwood and Null
key have notified Secretary West of
the chamber of commerce that they
desire to meet Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of deciding on the peanut
acreage to be planted at these two
points and also to make preparations
for securing seed, Mr.. West has been
asked to be present and discuss the
matter with them.
The chamber of commerce has
placed an order for a peanut picker,
and several farmers throughout the
the county have signitied their will
ingness to cooperate and buy one for
the neighborhood.
Considering what the machine will
do, it is very cheap, the picker and
power plant combined can be pur-
chased for approximately five hun
dred dollars, and a machine of this
size would handle all the peanuts
grown in large-si2ed neighborhood.
Farmers from all over the county have
been to see the secretary of the cham
ber of commerce relative to seed and
the indications are that a large acre
age will be planted here this season
The market is assured, and those who
have tried growing the nuts feel as
sured that once Il farmer begins the
culture of peanuts, that he will gradu-
ally drift away from cotton and devote
the most of his acreage to a crop that
is doubly sure. The cotton grower has
to sell his cotton regardless of the
price, he cannot feed it; this is not
true OF peanuts. If the price should
80 too low which is not probable, the
crop can be fed proftably to stock,
and still beat a cotton crop.

CATTLEMEN
To ORGANIZE
IN NCARTERCO.
AT A MEETING AT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE ROOMS YESTERDAY
THE QUESTION OF TICK ERAD-
IcATloN RECEIVED BOOST.

Yesterday afternoon, some repre-
sentative cattlemen of the county met
at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce to discuss ways and means of
assisting the State Board of Agricul-
ture and the United States Board Of
Agriculture to eradicate the deadly
tick.
Or. Wade who has been assigned
to the work in this section, was pres.
ent and outlined the plans he had
in mind and called upon those present
for their views on the subject.
Several cattle raisers have already
installed watts, and those persons
were very much pleased with the re-
suit thus far obtained. The tick has
cost some of the raisers several thou
and dollars in the past, and those
who have used the dipping watts for
the past two or three years were very
enthusiastic in their advocacy of their
use throughout the county
According to the state law, fifty
per cent of the qualified voters can
petition the Board of County Commis-
sioners to make a levy as provided
by law to assist in this work Peti-
tions were placed in the hands Of
men in various parts of the county
to circulate, and they all seem to
agree that by next week they will have
a sufficient number of signatures.
Many cattle raisers announced that
in the event the petitions failed, they
were going to build tanks of their
own, but urged cooperation, that the
tick may be entirely stamped out.
Among the prominent cattlemen
present were: Henry Croskill of Ber-
wyn, James Eaves of Pooleville, w.
p. Higgins of Pooleyille, ]. w. John
son of Milo Walter Colbert and Sher-
man JONES of Ardmore, DR.. Taylor
and T.. f. Riser of Woodford. J. 5.
Springer.
An effort will be made to secure
the necessary signatures the coming
week, in order that there may be no
delay in beginning the work.
DR.. Wade explained every question |
to him by the cattlemen
who seemed anxious to assist him in
this work
John Mulkey, who took one of the
petitions yesterday, was out just one
hour and secured sixty names. This
Is an indication of how anxious the
farmers and stockmen are to get rid
Of the deadly tick.

In answer to the question Mrs.
