Dear Mr.. Cox
Since learning that you are putting
your Liver and Stomach Medicine on
the market feel it my duty to speak
to the people some of my experiences
with your medicine.
My wife has been for years almost
an invalid, suffering with comp.ica-
ton of liver, stomach and nervous
trouble. After using every medicine
TO try your Liver and Stomach Medi-
cine. Almost from the first dose
we could find and practically all the
doctors in this sect on, she showed
no signs of improvement.
In October, 1919, we were induced
there were signs of improvement. She
has gradually improved under the use
of this medicine til she's now practi-
cally we |, able to do all her work
and enjoying life more than she has
in the past ten years or longer.

most remarkable medicine I have
ever known.
Our praise will ever go out for

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice is the
quality necessary to achieve success
Then, too. you must have tenacity.
That Is the greatest quality. With
out II no man can possibly succeed.
One failure leads to another failure
and one success to another success.
Win out in one thing before giving
1t up or trying another. Tact Is very
important. ! would rather employ a
person of no extraordinary ability, but
who had great tact, than one Of con-
spicuous learning and intelligence, but
without tact. Judgment, initiative and
energy. all these are most desirable
and valuable qualities. But above and
beyond all, you must have tenacity
ind tact.,-Daniel Guggenheim.

Georgia Farmers
Raise Food Crops

That Georgia farmers performed
Their full duty last year in the matter
OF contr. buting their share to the
worlds supply of food and raiment
is interesting y told in a story given
out to-day by John S. Dennee. agricul-
tural statistician for the Georgia CO.
operative crop reporting service, a
combination of the forces of the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates and the statistical division of
the Georgia Department of Agricul-
ture.
According to the statistician Geor-
gia's cultivated area in 1920 was 12,43o.
900 acres-about an eighth of all the
land under crops in the eleven south
ern states. She had slightly less than
half the area under cultivation in Tex
as and one-fourth more acreage than
her nearest southern competator, Ala
bama. In planted acreage she held
eleventh place in the entire country.
The farm value of her crops is es-
timated at $323,2900OO, and in crop
value she ranked twelfth amongst the
forty-eight states. In the pre-war
year 1913, Georgia's crops were valued
at $279,171,0 900; and at that time cot
ton, her major crop, was selling for al
most for what it is fetching to-day.
Georgia excelled all other southern
states, excepting Texas and North
Carolina, in the value of her crops
last year. Texas led the country.
NorthCarolina had slightly better than
half of Georgia's planted acreage but
Included $4,000 acres of tobacco
which yielded the producers $167 per
acre. against Georgia's cotton, which
returned an average of only $1,000 per
acre.
In 1920 Georgia. produced 76,50O,-
600 bushels of corn; 2,110,O00 bushels
of wheat; 11,5500O0 bushels of oats;
100000 bushels of irish potatoes;
100000 bushels of sweet potatoes,
in which crop she held second place;
100000 bushels of rye; 100000
pounds of tobacco; $4,000 tons of
hay; 100000 bushels of peanuts,
near'p a fifth of the country's crop;
100000 bushels of cow-peas; 100000
gallons of cane syrup, exceeded only
by Alabama; and 1,410,000 gallons of
sorghum sirup.
In cotton production Georgia rank
ed third. She was exceeded by Tex
as and North Caro- ina Her crop
last year reached only 1,400 900 bales.
And it had an estimated farm value

The peach crop had a bad year.
Weatherconditions from the very out
set were most adverse. Ard the sea-
son was from one to two weeks late.
But Georgia shipped, Notwithstanding,
nearly 1000 carloads. over 1000 of

OXFORD HIGH BEGINS

we consider the hot weather and the
general adjustments to be made at the

DR.. Christian and DR.. Roland Lea
veil are the popular and efficient
coaches for the squad, and the boys
have been getting into trim fast.
Business Manager Branham Hume is
filling his place well, and has found a
solid backing OF the team among the
business men at Oxford. Several
firms have helped very materially in
getting equipment for the team. This
is greatly appreciated among the boys,
and makes them feel that it is worth
while to try to have winning team
when the business men back them
up.
The following men from last years
team are back, and are showing up
well under the leadership of Captain
Brown Falkner: Brown Falkner, Sa-
die Nets, James d. Nunnally, Ray

The following. new men are promis-
ing material and show up remarkably
well: Doak Worley, David Harris,
Max Milstead, who is playing his first

the heaviest team since that one of
