surprised that the enterprising
farmers of Runnels Co. have not
raised this cottop extensively as
it produces nearly if not equally
as much as the short staple vari-
eties and brings twice as
on the market.
If I may be pardoned
say that I have made more
ey here in Runnels County in the
four years I have been here than
I ever made all put together be-
fore in my life and I have been
raising cotton over forty yeftrs.
We have a cotton country. There
is no longer any doubt of this.
The soil is adapted to cotton and
the altitude precludes the possi-
bility of the boll weevil living
here.
Of course this little pest has
been shipped in here from year
to year by immigrants coming in
and bringing their household
goods and cotton seed but they
perish as fast as they arrive and
the effects of one has never been
seen on the cotton.

I promised to give the people

---------------— ment of what the boys and old

gathered thirty-five bales and

bales in all.

thought I had made a rash prom-
ise and it looked like there would

In any condition of the female system.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription can do
only good—never harm. Its whole effect
is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are de-
ranged in function or affec^d by disease,
the stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerved are weakened, and a long list of
back, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not be expected ,of this "Fa-
vorite Prescription.” It will'not perform
miracles; will not cure tumors—no med-
icine will. It will often prevent them, if
taken in time, and thus the operating
table and the surgeon’s knife may be
avoided.
Women suffering from diseases of long
standing, are invited to consult Doctor
Pierce by letter,/rce. All correspondence
is held as saflctly private and sacredly
confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
