FARMERS MORE HOPEFUL

There has been a great deal of warm sunshine in this region during the past two weeks, and warmers have made good use of it. Their fields all look nice and clean. corn and cotton is up and worked out, but is conceded to be three or four weeks behind time. At the meeting of the penitentiary trustees this week the re- ports of the officers were to the effect that the waters have gone off most of the convict farms. and that a great deal of corn would have to be replanted. The cotton does not seem to have been in jured by the overflow.

Financial Loss Due TO cold.

1t is estimated that the average man
loses three days time each year from
inability to work on account of having
a cold. Much of this loss can be avoid.
ed by treating every cold as soon as
the first symptoms of the disease ap-
pear. Chamberlaid's Cough Remedy
has won wide reputation and immen-
Sc sale by its cures of this disease.
Try it. You are certain to be pleased
with its pleasant taste and the prompt
relief which it affords.

Grip.

+ Grip usually starts just the same as
a cold with watery discharge from
the nose. You are much more likely
to contract the grip when you have a
cold. For that reason when grip is
prevalent you should go to bed as soon
as you feel that you are taking cold
and stay in bed until fully recovered
which should not be long if you take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Three
days in bed now is better than three
weeks later on.

Just that-fine thing, economy; pro-
vide against rainy day, and all that

ever, will begin, right away!"
