Feed Out Your Hogs 6 Weeks Earlier.

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. II all would fatten
like these, the ent rove would be
ready for the market six weeks ear
lier and to save six weeks feed is an
item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must be
in prime condition. The B. A. Thom-
as Hog Powder is conditioner for
hogs. 1t keeps their system clean
and healthy and enables them to fat
ten quickly without falling a prey to
the usual diseases of hogs. The B. A.
Thomas Hog Powder is not stock food.
It's straight medicine, and we took the
agency because it enables you to feed
out your hogs much earlier. L. NJ.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Brownsville Laundry, as most
of the people Of Brownsville know, is
being run in receivership by me, and |
now wish to say few things to the
public in regard to the laundry.
The plant is one in which the peo-
pie of the town should take a great
deal of pride, and give it all of their
support. understand that there has
been great deal of dissatisfaction
among its patrons in the past, and
think, with just cause, and / wish to
say here that | have employed an ex-
perienced laundry man, who, in the
two months he has been in the plant,
has shown a great increase in the
amount of business done, and is turn
ing out good quality Of work, and is
ready at all times to accommodate the
patrons in any way pssible.
There are some of you, however,
that have not given us your support
and we want to impress on you that
it viii take your support for us to
succeed. If you get back with your
bundle some work that isn't done to
suit you, please advise us of it, and
we will see that it is done just as you
want it.
And we wish to impress on the pat
rons Of the laundry that we are max
ing an especial effort to run the plant
on cash basis. We, as we are now
running, must pay cash for our sup
plies, and it is necessary that we do
this. So please when your package is
delivered, have the change ready for
the driver.
