said Mr.. Parker, land it affords me
great pleasure to recommend it every
way in the most positive manner
The Jobson pillow it is said, solves
the puzzling question of why people
have not plowed deep and taken ad-
vantage of principles that have been
known and admitted for years. It
reduces the cost of deep blowing,
makes it simpler and easier, and
brings about crop increase of from
One-fOurth to a half.
That the Jobson pillow is the great
est weapon that can possibly be used
against the boil weevil seems to be
beyond question. There is so much
to be said about the pillow and the
Jobson theories that Major John w.
Norwood has written a twenty page
booklet on the subject. 1t is en-
titled 1.-THE Common Sense of Deep
Flowing and Bigger Profits on the

WHAT ONE GOOD CHRISTIAN
THINKS OF WIN. ATNSWORTH.

Dear Sir: I just want to express
my opinion as to who 1 think the
most dangerous man in Georgia is. A
man that passes as q preacher with
out the Grace of God in his heart.
He goes about over the country beg
glng the widows mite and taking a
mite from everybody that he can get
one from.
Then he will sit back in the shade
and send his children to school,
while that poor widow and her chill
dren has to work hard for fifty
cents a day.
That so-called preacher will take
the pulpit to denounce his fellow
man, and instead of preaching Christ
and Him crucified, breaches Tom
Watson and wants him crucified.
[ think that's the goat in sleeps
clothing.
May God be with you till we meet
again.

what IS known as the frankng privilege. or
the right of public men to send an unlimited

intended originally to cover official communi-

monstrosity which tolerates the carriage. free

government sectarianism triumphantly ex-
