RUMBLING AROUND
RURAL HILL
Editor Dispatch.

Editor Dispatch:
No one sick that we know Of and
not much visiting the past week as
the weather was most too bad for
much visiting. There were several Of
our citizens that attended the sale
at Mr.. Henry Pridmore's last We'd
nesday and the writer saw many old
friends from all over Pickens and
Lamar County, Alabama, and quite
a number from Lowndes also. The
sale, so far as we were able to Judge
was a success. Mr.. Woodland was the
auctioneer and to our mind he was a
good one and did his work faith
fully and if you did not buy it was
not his fault. But it made us sad
when we see a man like Mr.. Prid-
more sell out his farm and imple-
ments with the intentions of trying
some other country. To our mind
Mr.. Pridmore is leaving one of the
best communities in Pickens county,
and we hope he is making no mistake.
Any community may be proud to have
Mr.. Pridmore for a neighbor. We
would like to have him around Rural
Hill. Sales seem to be the go just
now as we see posted at the cross
roads notice from Mr.. Dudley Miller,
next Friday, Nov. 10. Also Prof. B.
G. Hull, Nov. %. So take due notice
and be on hand and get the bargains
that these may offer you.
Brother Newton filled his regular
appointment at Pleasant Hill last Sun
day and preached from the 18th
chapter st. John, his subject was "The
True Christian Union" and how we
may show it to our fellow-man. We
regret that so few were out to hear
this sermon and we believe if the peo-
pie knew what Bro. Newton had in
store for them they would have come
in spite of bad weather. AT the close
of the services it was decided to re-
paint the seats. L. A. Cox and w. r.
Phillips were appointed a committee
to have the work done. Also Mrs. J.
W. Eubanks, Miss Mary Smith, Miss
Lena Reeves, and Miss Iona May
Dawes were appointed a committee to
solicit the money for this worthy
cause.
Rural Hill School Trustees have de-
cided to repaint the school house and
do some other repairs and get some
wood So we have decided to do this
on Thanksgiving day so the patrons
will please take due notice and bring
along your ak, saw and maui, and do

Last weeks cold snap brought
about the good old hog killing time,
with spareribs, back-benes, and sau-
sage. Which is the bill of fare in the
most of our country homes. The fol-
lowing are some that reported killing
some fairly good shoats on Friday,
last: Mr.. r. A. Killham killed two
shoats a year old that dressed 800
pounds. Mr.. c. L. CASTOR, one, that
dressed 40 pounds. However, none
Of the surenough big hogs have yet

can which is better than any Of the
old time Louisiana syrup. Mr.. N. s..
Partain also reports 80 gallons of
Louisiana syrup. The mills all hope
to finish making syrup this week.

Is CENTS GALLON
New Invention Makes Fords Run "a
Miles 0u Gallon Of Gasoline and
Start Easy in Coolest Weather.
Other Cars Show PropOrtionate
Savings.

A new earbnretor which cuts down
gasoline consumption OF any motor,
including the Ford, and reduces gas
cline bills from One-third to one-half
is the proud achievement Of the Air
Friction Carburet0r Co., 1906 Madison
St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the pow
er of all motors from 80 per cent. to
80 per cent, but enables everyone to
run slow on high gear. 1t also makes
it easy to start z Ford Or any other
car in the coolest weather without
previously warming the motor. With
it you can use the very cheapest grade
of gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power and
more mileage than you now get from
the highest test gasoline. Many Ford
owners say they now get as high as
45 to so miles to gallon of gasoline.
So sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send it
on 80 days trial to every car owner.
AS it can be put on or taken off in a
few minutes by anyone, all readers
who want to try it should send their
name, address and make Of car to the
manufacturers at once. They also
want local. agents, to whom they offer
large profits. Write
them today. adv.
