LISBON NEWS.

Lisbon, Aug. 24.-It has been several
weeks since we have seen anything
in your valuable paper from this place.
We so so little and hear so little that
would interest your many readers. we
can't write long letter. Our crops
are looking fairly we'll in places, but
right at this time. with the exception
Of some old corn, YOU can't tell what
the outcome will be. The cotton crop
in places has plenty of weed. but when
We examine it, we find but little to
compare with former years. We have
but few peas planted in this com
munity. and rains have kept us from
saving our fodder as we would like to
have done. With these conditions,
some may have to buy grass made in
the west to farm on next year. What
we need is more corn and hogs. From
what We can learn, We will be forced
TO change our way Of farming anyway,
the soil, both white and black, and for
that reason, the farmers will have to
plant less cotton and more corn. We
heard man say at our meeting the
other day: Let the government have
them TO reduce prices on foodstum and
dry goods and you would sec cotton 20
very much lower than she is today 1t
is very hard matter for us poor
farmers to go up against mon who run

Don't take nasty, dangerous caomc1 when bilious,

Calomcl salivatesl @1ts mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomcl comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bi,, ous, hcadachy, con-

THE FLU"

The following from j. p. McEvoy
will express the feelings of many
thousands:
When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your hair
gets dry,
And you're d0ggone sure that you're
going to die,
But you're skeered you won't and
afraid you will, -
Just drag to to bed and have your
chill,
And pray the Lord to see you
through,
For you've got the flu, boy,
You've got the flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as Thorn
as cat,
And life is long and dismal CURSE
And all your food tastes like a hard
boiled hearse;
When you lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you
You've got the flu, boy,
You've got the flu.
What is it like, this Spanish flu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been thru.
It is by Misery out of Despair;
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
1t thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with means anc
groans,
And sometimes, maybe, you get well
Some call it fu-I call it helix
