Farmers Raise Good Cotton Crops
 Lumber Business B0Oms

FORT DEPOSIT. Ala, Jan. D. Especial. l.)--Judging from the blow ing of whistles, ringing of bells and display of fireworks here last night. the passing of the old and the advent of the new year were very appro- priately observed. The year 1924 has been ushered in with very bright prospects for the merchants anf farmers and other business men in and around Fort Deposit. The mer- chants claim their business has been better during the past 12 mon..s than 1t has in the last decade; the farmers have raised an average crop of cotton, disposing of it at high price, and harvesting an abundance of minor crops, have settled all out standing debts, and with a nice bank deposit, they are, as whole, in bet tqr shape to make 1924's crop than hey. have been since the advent of the boil weevil. The recent estab- lishment of many new mills within radius of five miles of Fort Deposit and two large blaming mills in opera ton in the corporate limits of the town, will give steady employment to the laboring class for the next five years. It might be added that $50, ,O00 derived from the sale of line budded oceans raised here the past season helps out.

 All drug stores are supplied with the wonderful elixir, SO all you have to do to get relief from that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoonfuls. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swal- low and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel the dis tressing symptoms of your cold fading away like a dream, within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all drug gists invite you and expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is re- lieved, take the remainder of the bot tie home to your wife and children, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for children as well as adults. Quickest relief for catarrhal croup and children's choking up at night.-Adv.
