24O Pound Pigs

With corn above so cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to
get on full feed never brings you
profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 24p pounds. Figure the aver
age feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased we will refund the
cost of the medicine. WALL BROS.

THE BAPTISTS HAD
INTERESTING SERVICES
FORMER MISSIONARY WHO WAS
CONVERTED in CHINA SPOKE
FOR ENLISTMENT CAMPAIGN.

Interesting services were held at
the Baptist church Sunday morning.
It marked the beginning of the En-
listment campaign for Friendship
Association.
The state board of missions has
about twenty enlistment men in the
field. Rev. A. F. Davis, a student of
the Southern Baptist Convention, at
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, made a short address to
the Sunday school, and at the eleven
o'clock hour Rev. W. F. West, OF
Thomson, Ca, spoke on the subject
of enlistment. All who heard these
addresses seemed deeply interested.
Mr.. West was converted in China
while in the navy of the United
States, and worked as missionary
for several years in Shanghai.
At the night service there were
only a few present on account of the
rain. At this service Rev. j. Fred
Eden was expected to speak. The
few who gathered enjoyed listening
to the deeply interesting experiences
of Mr.. West, who talked in an in
formal way. The woman missionary
who so influenced his life in China
some years ago lost her husband and
she is now tenderly cared for by Mr.
West in his home at Thomson.
The Campaign will close in the
northern part of the association on
Thursday of this week.

Clerk for Sometime.
The statement has recently been
printed that Ben Hill county has the
first and only lady deputy clerk In
Georgia. That statement, however,
is not in accord with the facts, as
Terrell county has had lady filling
that position for sometime in the
person of Miss jennie Steadham.
Miss Steadham, who has been en-
ployed in the Office as assistant for
several years, was some months ago
sworn in as deputy clerk. The depu-

and is held in high esteem by all who
have business in the clerks office.
