menting on the condition that ex-
isted on June 25. and the condition is
decidedly better than on the same
date last year The crop is about
three weeks late and the plant small,
but the past three weeks have been
favorable for cultivation Fields are
generally clean. and fair progress in
growth is noted. There is some COM
plaint Of bad stands, but little Of in
sect pests. Y
The acreage this year is about the
same as last. The very wet, back
ward spring kept many farmers from
planting their intended acreage. A
number Of counties show a decrease,
while quite a few have increases. This
increase is very noticeable in the
southeastern part Of the State.
The acreage in the State is esti-
mated at 100 Der cent. Of last year,
or 10000 acres and the condition is
50 per cent. of normal This would
indicate a production of about 1885,
900 bales.

How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but moment to prepare,
and saves you about ".

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
.tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect ir soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2is ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with home made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint
more than you can buy ready'made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist.
emily loose from the formation OF
phlegm. The cause is the same-ir-
famed membranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Spleen
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

particular cases which made one feel
the dreadfulness of some homes and
lives. 1t seems that the Pierian club
has been doing much sewing for the
society, many little garments having
been made, and Miss Webster's words
have but made them more anxious to
serve along this line. Following the ad-

served, the hostesses being Mrs. Camp
