Pepto-Mangan
THE BEST KNOWN
BLOOD TONIC


Vas all growing things on earth
shoot into new life in Springtime,
so do the billions of cells that
make up each part of the body
renew their vigor
As you open the windows,
breathe the Spring air, and let
in the sunshine, the red corpus
cles in your blood should carry
more oxygen to the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles are tiny
disc shaped PARTICLES, swimming
in enormous plumbers in the
blood. They carry oxygen to
cells in all parts of the body, and
they carry away worn-out waste
matter. Sometimes, especially
in the Spring, after the winter
indoors and more or less sickness,
the red corpuscles themselves
need rebuilding. Gnde's Pepto.
Mangan contains just the ingre
dients to give them greater pow
er to absorb oxygen and to DIS
tribute it throughout the body.
That is why it is such a good
spring tonic. 1t helps so much
to bring back color to cheeks
made pale and wan by the nee.
essary indoor winter life. 1t adds
TO the number of red corpuscles.
With fine Spring days an d

crest of the high price wave was
reached on farm products, some valua,
BILE information is contained in the
census bulletin of the government
just issued concerning the value of
the crops of the county IN that year.
the total value of Maury county
crops in 1919 amounted to $G,377.1i6.
The value of the cereal crop was $4,-
.6S2, 1872, other grains and seeds were
valued at Sal ,84S; the hay and forage
crop was valued at $1,123,264.. Vege-
tables were valued at $311, 450, the
fruit and nut crop was valued at $685.
1882 while the value of all other crops
was placed at $7S,39O.
In that year the county had S1.91S
acres in corn, which yielded 2,159A2l
bushels. The wheatscrop was sown
on 23,7S7 acres, yielding 245,S95 bush
els. These were the two largest ce,
real crops IN the county. 81
In 1920 the acreage of neither the
corn crop or the wheat crop was as
large as it had been nthe year pre-
ceding, and it was estimated that the
corn acreage was but little more than
half that of 1919, owing to the late
spring, but on account of the splen-
did manner in which it was cultivat-
ed the yield is said to have been sew
enty-iive per cent of that of the year
before.
There was also a heavy decline in
prices last year which affected all
farm products.

RECALLS BIG SHOWS
DURING THIS MONTH

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
VIII history repeat itself? Clerk
and Master Mora B. Fariss this morn
ing recalled the fact that twenty.nine
years ago Friday one of the biggest
SHOWS that ever fell in this section
visited Maury county. The. snow was
from twelve to eighteen inches deep
and remained on the ground for severi
al days. Capt. Aydelotte the veteran
printer, recalled that seyenty-eight
years ago about this time there was
also big snow and plenty of cold.
But IL II is just the same il is hoped
that the recollections of citizens of
another generation will be all that we
will have to remind us of the SHOWS

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
In response to an invitation issued
by the Columbia ministers associa-
ton a number of pastors from the
country churches assembled at the
First Methodist church Monday morn
| ing to consider the question of form
ing County Pastors Association. DR..
j. c. Molloy presided and explained

for expressions of opinion. n.ao
1t was soon made apparent that the
sentiment was practically unanimous
in favor of some sort of cooperative
action but there was some difference
| of opinion as to the exact nature of
the association to be formed. l.
AS an 1nterdenominational County
Pastors Association is something new
in this part of the world there was no
precedent to guide, but after a free in
! terchange of views on the subject a
| decision was reached that was salts
factory to all and all present enroll
ed as members Of the new association.
Rev. S. T. Neeley, of Culleoka, was
chosen president; Rev. J. B. Spurlock,
vice president, and Rev. D. D. Little,
secretary. These officers were APP
pointed as an executive committee to
select a name and draw up constitu-
ton for the association and report at
meeting to be held Monday, April
18th at 2 p., m. .4a eIqt y.
Nothing definite will be decided
on until after this committee has made
its report but 1t is probable that the
county association will meet once a,
quarter and that subsidiary, assOcia-
tons will be formed in various sec
tons of the county that will meet oft
ener to consider purely local CUES
lions. The local association at Big
byyille will serve asla model for these,
organizations in the rural districts,
while the Columbia association will
constitute another subsidiary body.
At the opening of the meeting no
one present had any clear and definite
idea of what was wanted, but the
splendid spirit manifested and the
practically unanimous conclusion
reached encourages us to believe that
in taking this step the ministers of
the county are following the leading
of the Holy Spirit

that annexation so far as this session

The members of the delegation left
no sort of doubt as to their attitude
and it is beloved that all further eff
forts to secure any extension of the
city limits at this time will be flu
tile.
