Like thunder bolt out of a clear
sky came the sorrow-bearing message
announcing that Miss Grace Cook,
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Cook of this city. had passed peace
fully away at Hartford. Connecticut,
following delicate surgical opera
tion on her head.
Miss Cook was taken i'll about six
weeks ago and at that time her malady
was thought to be an abscess. but lat
er was pronounced cancer or tumor.
II is not known exactly what the di-
sease which snapped the tender cord
of life was, but 1t robbed home of a
beautiful treasure. and the world OF a
sweet. winsome and capable young
woman.
About two weeks ago her mother
was summoned by a message and left
at once to attend her daughter. A
week previous to her demise an opera
ton was performed which relieved
the pressure. but revealed unexpect-
edly serious complications which re-
suited as explained. On Sunday she
was visited by her brother. Albert.
in the navy service on the coast. and
recognized him. She later relapsed
into unconsciousness and remained SO
until the end came Tuesday evening
Grace Cook was born at Madison.

graduating with the class of '16 at the
age OF II years. She then went to
Hartford and had attended an art
school while she lived with her aunt.
Mrs. George Waters. Being bright

Order Now

In the spring there is always a
rush made by farmers to get ferti-
lizers, seed and equipment for
spring planting. This adds to the
business of the railroads greatly
by making the spring, normally,
a busy time for them. The rail
roads will be so busy next spring
in government service that farm
ers cannot depend on the prompt
delivery of any commodity. That
there be no delay in having ferti-
lizer, seeds, tools and all supplies,
farmers must order them now.

RAISING MORE HOGS

DR.. Knapp taught the south
years ago what part energetic, de,
termined, ambitious boys could
| play in making our soils produce
more corn for food. For that
teaching his memory is cherished
in the south, but nowhere more
than in Nashville, the site of the
Knapp School of Country Life,
established to honor his memory.
There is now a loud cry for an in
creased production of meat for our
own needs. and those of our SOL
diers and allies. The same prin-
ciples which that wise man incul.
Gated for the greater production
Of corn by our boys can be adopted
in the increase of our supply of
hogs. Common sense in the Sc
lection OF. a good breed and care
bestowed in looking after them and
keeping them free from disease
will bring the desired results. For
years certain progressive men in
this community, men like Messrs.
Overton, DeBow, Russworm and
others, clearly demonstrated that
no locality was better suited for
hog production, hogs of a highly
desirable kind, than the territory
around Nashville.
Following the sensible plan
adopted in Mississippi and other
states, which are now proGting
greatly thereby, several of the
banks of Nashville, realizing that
the community and the causes, as
we'll as their own ultimate inter
ests, will thereby be served, are
now Offering to advance to earn
est, reliable boys, the necessary
funds to make the small initial
purchase.
The above is from the Tennes-
sean and American, but it treats
of a condition that should interest
our people. There are boys in
Carroll county who would be de-
lighted to take advantage Of OPP
portunities such as is suggested
above. Our banks and business
men and progressive farmers
should extend to such boys the
chance to show what they can do.

APPEALS TO SOUTH

Mr.. McAdoo has made an ape
peal to the south to help win the
war by raising its own foodstuffs,
and eliminating the necessity of
transporting food from other sec
tions Of the country.
It's not Mr.. McAdoo's purpose
to discourage the raising Of cotton,
but to encourage the producing Of
more milk, butter, eggs, poultry,
fruit and vegetables. These things
will take the place Of meats, food
stutfs and feedstutfs Of various
kinds that are usually shipped into
the south from other parts of the
United States.
He insists that the south, es-
pecialIy the farmers, during this
year, do everything possible to re-
lieve the strain on the railroads of
the country by producing their
own food and feed crops.
The best farmers of the south, +"
says Mr.. McAdoo, recognize the
fact that it pays as a matter of
good farming to produce on each
farm the hay and grain for the live
stock, all the garden products,
fruit and poultry products, which
are needed by the farm, and if
possible a surplus of these for sale
in the immediate vicinity.
1T is not desired nor do | sug-
gest that the growing of cotton
should be discouraged. Every
southern farmer should raise all
the cotton that he can we'll cult
vate, since cotton constitutes the
best cash crop of most of the south,
but he should grow the hay and
grain to feed his draft animals.
He should produce his own milk,
butter, eggs. poultry, fruit and
vegetables and every city and town
Of the south be to the largest ex-
tent supplied with these commod-
tiles by the farmers of the south.
1t is not only good agricultural
practice, but it becomes in this
exigency a patriotic duty.
IF the south can feed itself it
will release from unnecessary SER
vice in the south vast numbe- of
freight cars and engines and will
help win the war"

Tim SO nervous" How many women
say that? But you don't need to be, and
you'd better get over that case of nerves
before it is too late.
Nervousness is very often simply indi-
gestion. Because food is not properly
digested, liver, kidneys and other organs
are not properly nourished. They get
weak and fail to carry off the poisons of
the body, and gradually the nerves, be-
cause they have to be nourished the same
as tho rest Of the body, become weakened
and diseased.
To get your health back, begin taking

remedy and universal system purifier.

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure catarrhal deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedy. Ca
tarrhal Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infamed CON
dition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
