May .25—Rain! Rain! The
farmers are badly behind here,
although some have laid by corn,
but there is-a great deal of cot-
ton not planted, while some have
planted the second time. '

this year, though th re is some
fruit here, Perries were not
plentiful.

Torture.
For more than 20 years Mr. J.
B. Massey, of 3322 Clinton st.,
Minneapolis, Minn, was tortured
by sciatica. The pain anti suf-
fering which he endured during
this time is beyond comprehen-
sion. Nothing gave him any per
______ i manent relief until he used Charn-
h n herlain’s Pain Balm. One appli-
cation of that liniment relieved
the pain and made sleep and rest
possible, and less than one bottle
has effected a permanent cure. If
troubled with sciatica or rheu-
matism why not try a 25c bottle
of Pain Balm and see for your-

Rain! Rain! and blue farmers
are all that we can see or hear.
Crops are almost ruined. Hope
it will let up long enough for Ned
to see after his crop of tadpoles.
There were people here from
Teague, Fairfield, Post Oak, Cot-
ton Gin, Shanks and New Hope,
yesterday, to attend the foot-
washing.
W. >E. Long made a flying trip
to Mart last week and says crops
are tine up there. That beats us,
doesujt it.
Little Gaston Long has re-
turned home from a two weeks’
stay with his uncle, Dow Long,

- I wish to say a word in regards
to the story of the tramp: It is
true that whiskey is the world’s
curse. Many a heart it has bro-
ken, many a life has it blighted,
many a tear has it caused- to be
shed. O! why will men drink,
when they know the result? If
you will allow me, I will send a
song about the rye.
“ 'T was .made to be eaten,
And not to be drank;
To be threshed in a'barn,
Not soaked in a tank.
I came as a blessing,
When put through a mill;
,As a blight and a curse,
When put through a still.
Make me up into loaves,
Amd your children are fed;
But, if into drink,
I’ll starve instead.
In bread I'm a servant, ””
The eater shall rule;
Ip drink I’m a master,
The drinker a fool. ”
Maybe.
Then it’s time to act! No time
to study, to read, to experi-
ment ! You want to save your
hair, and save it quickly, too!
So make up your mind this
very minute that If your hair
ever comes out you will use
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It makes
the scalp healthy. The hair
stays in. It cannot do any-
thing else. It’s nature’s way.

May 25—Corn crops are look-

Bountiful supply for home use.
Nice rain yesterday. It was
just right as the earth was dry-
ing out too fast, A great many
would have had their crops
layed by the time they got to
them next week, if it had not
come.
All the cotton planted the last
days of March and the very
first two of three days of April
is worked out—missed the frost
all except overflow damage, and
is fine. The next or April 10 to
20 planting, got caught and
damaged. Some of this worked
out. All cotton is looking very
nice got a healthy, lively look,
growing fast, is clear of insets
and sore shin and comparatively
clear of grass and weeds. To
take everything into considera-
tion, bids fair to give us a fine
crop yet. * It is just a matter of
about seven hard weeks work
and the next two to be on
“Maud’s” time.
Mr. Powl, on the McCormack
place, in last weeks overflow,
lost about 600 yards wire fence,
swept, away. He got all the
Wire back except about 800
yards of solid fence, that can’t
be, found. He was worse dam-
aged than anyone in the neigh-
borhood. The waterspout or
cloudburst seemed to be just
south of him. Part of the over-
flow went out through Burton
Hollow, and the balance down
the glades by the Whitt gin. ■ It
gathered up and moved the
bridge at the Whitt gin, but it
is there, and I beiieve can be
fixed up so that it can be used
again. We hope that it will be
put in again.
We understand the Commis-
sioners’ Court discontinued the
public road from Butler to the
Mays’ graveyard. If so, we hope
they gave no one permission to
fence across this road. In the
early settling of the county, the
first settlement in this section
was made at the Mays place and
West Point, and the first death
in one of the Lott families, who
settled the Mays place. They
selected the place of burial, now
called the Mays graveyard and
everybody except Cal Whitt
used this as the last resting
place for their dead, and we
still use the place. The road
has not cost the county a cent
and the citizens are willing to
work the road so that they can
pass back and forth to visit
their graves and we tilink it un-
kind to be forced to carry our

It is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold.
How often do we hear it re-
marked: “It’s only a cold,” and
a few days later learn that the
man is on his back with pneu-
monia. This is of such common
occurence that a cold, however
slight, should not be disregard-

Well, it continnes to rain and nearly

Tired nerves, with that no '’ambition’
Tooling that is commonly felt in spring
or early summer, can be easily an<l
quickly altered by taking what is known
to druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s
Restorative. One will absolutely note a
changed feeling within 48 hours after
beginning to take the Restorative. The
bowels get sluggish in the winter-time,
the circulation often slows up, the kid-
neys are inactive, and even the heart in
many cases grown decidedly weaker.
Dr. Shoop's Restorative is recogni/.ed
everywhere as a genuine tonic to these
vita) organs. Itbuilils np and strength-
ens the worn-out weakened nerves; it
sharpens the failing appetite, and uni-
versally aids digestion. It always
quickly brings renewed strength, life,
vigor, and ambition. Try it and be iron
vinced. Sold by all dealers.
