Springtown, Texas, Juqe 24.—All the
Springtown country now seems cbrt&ln
of a big corn crop. Large, thrifty
stalk, ears forming and now too far
in advance for the hot winds to get it.
The drouth last year and the ruinous
cost of feed to make this crop has
taught farmers not to depend upon
corn, but tf turn their attention to
kaffir, milq, cowpeas and sorghum. A
few farmers did this last year and
Most of us had not

liberally discussed, and it is oawljr
possible that it will be put into ex-
ecution at an early date. If so, each
and every merchant or business house
in the city ought to be represented,
and take advantage of same to scatter
a lot of advertising matter^boosting

bought no feed,
learned the lesson and bad to lay down
the cash for Northern feed.
N. J. Klnnard planted late stock
peag and cut with a hoe and stored
same in the barn and so had feed for
next crop. J. T. Robertson is a great
advocate of the cowpea. It la a sure
crop, Inexpensive in culture, splendid
feed for work mules and milch cows
and fertilizes the soil. He has had
to buy no feed this year. More kaffir
will be planted here than ever before.
A striking object lesson on fcnpVoved
conditions is tbe fact that on the 30th
day of June last year, a sow and shoats
were hauled in on the public square
and given away to saVe them from
starving to death. Now bogs are in
brisk demand at high cash prices.

It has been suggested that the Mer-
chants Association organise a trade
trip or auto.excursion t o anumber at
toyns in the county in the near future,
and this in all likelihood will be done.
It Is pointed out that there are a num-
ber of the smaller merchants over the
county that would be glad to co-oper-
ate with the Weatherford merchants,
and be able to secure the credit rating
and mortgage record, and other infor-
mation compiled in the office of the
secretary In this city, and In this way
It Is thought they can be Interested
and their attention secure! and at-
tracted to what the Association is do-,
ing. Another thing, It is polntej out
that in this way the objects and a.ms
of the Association can be explained to
the people, and any erroneous Ideas
as to same dispelled.
It is suggested that the dates for
making this trip should be well adver-
tised in advance, and a set program
arranged. If necessary to^cover the
entire county, and it probably would
be, two days can be taken for same.
In this way we get acquainted with
the pjeople, mix and mingle with
them, and can make a direct appeal
to them for their trade.
The proposition Is a good one, and
one that we hope will be put into usd.
There is nothing that will appeal to a
man like a personal appeal, and it Is
up to the business men of this city to
ask for what they want, and it shall

Calomel is made from mercury, »n4
while mercury has many uses, it is a
dangerous thing to swallow. If calo-
mel stays in the system very long it
salivates. Even when it works natur-
ally, its after-effects are oft6n bad.
Weatherford Drug Co. has a liver
medicine called Dodson’s Liver Tono-
which is positively guaranteed to take
tbe place of calomel. It stimulates tho-
liver just enough to start it working,
