FINE OCONEE APPLE ORCHARD.
Dan T.. Good Is Proving What Can be
Done i'm Apple Growing in Oc0ncc.

When one sees great, big. fine ap-
plcs-tlawless fruit that just makes
ones mouth water--One is apt to let
his thoughts wander far off from his
home country. and pictures in his
mind the vision OF great orchards in
some distant State. And he is apt to
begin to ask himself the question.
why is it that we can't raise apples
Of the first grade at h0me?"
Dan +. Good has been making his
answer to that question for the past
several years.
Ills answer to the question is a
very simple one. and it is the correct
one: "Why is it that we can't raise
Thoroughly first class apples in Oco-
ncc?"
Because we WON'T"
There You have it--brieny. but to
the -pont--We CAN'T because we
WON'T. That Is reason all-sutn-
cient to preclude the possibility Of
raising good apples--or anything
else for that matter-but 1t isn't
good reason by any means.
We can't do anything that we
won't do. Not that it is impossible
for us to do it. or that we are incom-
petent to do it. But we often think
we can't do the things that we really
just won't do. Then after while we
find that we have "won'ted" so long
that we are thoroughly convinced
that we can't.
But we didn't start out to talk
about won'ts and cants. What we
have to say is along the opposite line
WHAT CAN BE DONE.
Last week Dan Good brought to
our Office Il basket Of his Staman
Wincsaps-and if there was any
thing that ever gave the lie to the
cant raise perfect apples in Oco-
nee" talk. those beauties did It, And
the ones he brought to The Courier
Office were not orphans" by any
means, nor were they members Of a
small family. The Staman Wincsap
family is quite prolific up Dan Good S
way. Mr.. GOOD has 800 Staman fam
lilies Or trees--and they are pro-
ducing big families" If we carry
out the family" smile we will have
to record each Of the Winesap fam
lilies on the Good place having from
several hundred to maybe a thousand
kids" this year. so we will just drop
the family idea and call these won
derfully productive things just what
they are.
Mr.. Goods orchard contains some
thing over 500 trees-mostly Staman
Winesaps, but he has some other va
rieties, OF course. His main crop Is,
however, the Staman. and his orcahrd
is, as it was intended to be. Sta
man orchard. From his 800 bearing
trees he has gathered and has now
housed for the winter one thousand
bushels OF No. 1 fruit.
But MIR. Good doesn't sit idly by
and simply watch his trees grow and
bear II he did he would soon be like
a lot OF other people we know. He
would be thoroughly convinced that
perfect No. 1 fruit could not be
grown here. And it can't~--any more
than it can be grown anywhere else
by setting out trees and letting them
shift for themselves. They will shift
all right-nature provides for that
but the shifting process is a back
ward or retr0grade movement. begin
ming with blight in the tree proper
then tree decay. then imperfect fruit
and finally dead trees and no fruit.
1t is real pleasure to look owe,
the Good orchard and see the smooth

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies mo.e particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale,"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
| You may receive a sample bottle oi
swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. n
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
| paper. Large and medium size bottles
| for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January got
so bad that what would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as was going
to work at 4 p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, felt fine and when it
was used up had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.
Now write to tell you how thankful !
am that heard of EATONIC. I feel ike
new man; I eat what like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at all.

Call to mind for moment that a
nations rise and fall can be measured
absolutely by its art; that a healthy
and vigorous period shows itself in
strong, pure art, and period of de-
