Recently Mr.. Mercer has begun the
erection of model dairy, which he
is stocking with registered Jerseys.
He will have one hundred of these
handsome cows, and Dawson people
and the surrounding country will
have a treat in store for them when
this well-equipped, sanitary dairy,
operated by electricity, gets com
pletely under way. All up-to-date ma
chinery and methods of caring for
the milk, cream and butter will be
used, and it will be under the di-
rection of those experienced in this
business. This will supply longfelt
need in Dawson, and we bespeak for
it success.
With his usual thrift and fore
sight, Mr. Mercer supplied his farm
some time ago with the finest strain
of registered Duroc Jersey hogs, and
the bountiful returns from this in
vestment has been most gratifying.
The Angora goat is also most sue
cessfully raised, and proves the wis
dow of diversified stock raising as

well as farming.
The largest wheat mill in this part
of the country is found on the Ella
dale estate, the capacity of the mill is
fifteen bushels of wheat an hour, and
it is kept busy day and night for
about six months in the year.
Mr.. Mercer himself has demon
strated how successfully wheat can
be raised in Terrell county, as seven
teen and one-half bushels per acre is
no unusual yield for his land. In con-
nection with his wheat mill he also
has a rice mill, since we are learning
the lesson not only from Elladale
estate, but from other Terrell coun-
ty farms that we can raise the "Chi-
nese Special" too. Forty-six acres
of this magnificent farm has been
planted in pecans since 1900, and
now produces $50 pounds per acre,
for which he has ready sale, all over
the U. S. at prices ranging from 35
cents to $1.00 per pound.
Where so many lovely nuts are
growing, of course, little bunny is
at home, so Mr.. Mercer has capital
lied the idea and has a unique SPUR
rel farm. AS an example of how tall
oaks from little acorns grow, there
is on exhibition on this farm the
yield of one grain of corn. There
are ten large, well developed ears
of corn and about six suckers, all
! from one tiny grain.
Who would feel this estate com
plete without the poultry farm? and
sure enough here you find the thrifty
brown leghorns busily engaged APP
propriating the waste grain as well as
scratching the worm, and incidental
ly yielding goodly returns of her own
special variety of fruit, which just
now happens to be very dear.
On this farm where man, land
birds and beast vie with each other
in producing their best, we also have
the proverbial busy bee plying her
trade and giving forth honey that
she may help sweeten life and feed
hunger and thus fill her place in the
plan of the world.
Cane grinding season is on now at
Elladale and very festive will be the
occasions as picanninie school girls
and boys, bells and beaux, all gath
er round the boiling syrup and
quench their thirst with the juicy
yield of this up-to-date syrup mill.
Many valuable lessons are learned
from visit to this farm, You see
how everything not only can be rails
ed on Terrell county land, but it can
also be made ready for consumption.

The spirit of thrift, industry and
thoughtfulness, which characterizes
her for whom this lovely estate was
named is found in all the affairs of
the place. Thrift and industry in the
well carried out plans of all the un-
dertakings, and thoughtfulness in the
care of the employees as is manifested
in the attractive homes provided for
them. These pay mute tribute to the
lovely spirit of Mrs. J. R. Mercer nee
Ella Perry, to whom the estate stands
as a living monument

Lotions and 0inments
 Cannot Cure Them

Eczema, Tetter, scaly irrita- tions, pimples, blotches, red spots and other disfigurations of the skin are commonly called "skin diseases'' because these disorders manifest themselves on the outer skin. In reality, however, they are not skin dis eases, but are impurities in the blood, which in their effort to get out of the system naturally appear at the weakest point.
 The fiery itching and burn ing of the skin caused by these irritations sometimes becomes almost unbearable. It is at all times a source of great discom- fort, and the sufferer will glad fly try almost anything for re- lief. A great majority of those afflicted, however, make the mistake of resorting to local ap- plications such as ointments, To- tions, salves, soaps, washes, etc. They do not realize that these local applications cannot pos sibly reach the source of the trouble, and no permanent cure can be expected from any dis order unless treated at it's source.
 You can use ointments by the pound and lotions by the gal lon and make absolutely no real progress toward getting rid of these diseases, for such treat ment is only palliative and not curative. No one has yet been cured of similar afflictions un- |til they realized that the disease
 was in the blood, and directed Ithe treatment toward cleansing lthe blood and eliminating from
 it the disease germs.

 The stock of Orloff as a favorite in the match tonight took big jump upward when he arrived in Birmingham yester- day at noon He is one of the most re- markable men who ever appeared in Bir- mingham and he was the exposure of all eyes when he walked the streets during the afternoon.
 Orloff is six feet six inches high and magnifcently proportioned. He declared he was developed to the very last min ute and was anxious to go to the mat with Cutler. Orloff is very quiet, self possessed man, but he fairly radiates con- fdence in his own prowess and from all outside appearances he is certainly justi- fled. Cutler is one of the largest men in the wrestling game today, but Orloff will top him by nearly half head

 Game @

The Nashville Vols start a three-game series at Redwood this afternoon with the Barons, Roy Ellam and his band will arrive here early this morning from Chattanooga, where they completed a disastrous stay.
 Ellam will probably send Dick Wells, his star right against the Barons this afternoon. Wells is the same hurler who easily defeated the Barons in the opening contest of the season. Moley was undecided last night who he would send to oppose the Vols, but either Karl Black or Arthur Johnson will draw the assignment.
 The Vols are one game below the 800 mark. while the Barons stand on vic- tory above par. Ellam and his men are fighting hard now to rise to the leader ship, and have played good ball of late. The game this afternoon will start at 3:30 o'clock.
