ahead a good many dollars at the end of the year. Exactly what we say in the papers is exactly
what we mean. We have no desire to misrepresent anything. We proceed upon the idea that
women are good'economists, and are glad to know about the best place to buy. We believe in

We had the pleasure of meeting
the government agents in demon-*
stration work, their methods very
much like ours, 41 counties out
of 45 in Florida have agents. E.
Gentry, state agent said he was at
Jacksboro during our carnival in
1909. O. B. Martin general agent
in charge of Boys Corn clubs was
sorry to note that Florida was way
behind with the Boys Corn Club.
We had the pleasure of making a
talk in the interest of the boys also
telling that my town was the home
of the father of the Boys Corn
Clubs and that he was our agent
in demonstration work, also it was
a pleasure to acknowledge that I
had known,Tom Marks from boy to
manhood and tfyit the said Thomas
was a rattling good fellow to all of
which the gentleman from/ Wash-
ington from personal knowledge
said yes and amen.

good thing stands out in that time
—or the worthlessness of a bad one.

The social center has been prac-

at this place, with a large attend-
ance of delagates from the differ-
ent parts of the qounty present and
a good deal of business was trans-
acted. Friday night was an open
meeting as is customery and the
house was crowded, talks were
made by Joe Roland, G. D. Frank-
lin, D. J. Smith, interposed with

their hospitality. The writer has

farming localities in Jack and the

Welcome Words to
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce end receive free the
advice of a physician of over 40 years’ experience
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully tc(Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." .Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need-
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases,
should submit to them.

Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure 70a right in the privacy of
your own home. His “ Favorite Prescription” has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There’s no secrecy. It will bear examina-
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup-
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don’t take it. Don’t trifle
with your health. Write to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y.,—take the advice received and be well.
Letter fro* Judge Stoddard.

4 Look sharp Mr. Editor, temper-
ature here for the last month has
been from 30 to 95 degrees but
somehow or somewhere else you
have lost your grip on norther and
weuns have caught ^t on its way to
the occean, and a fire feels bully
this morning but then its the best
• weve got and we’ll forgive you—
■hake.
Yes we took notice that there
was lots of peanuts being shipped
to this burg so we interviewed
Editor McCormick of 'Suanee,
"what are all these Goobers ship-
ped here for,” “Well sir for plant-
ing” “Why don't the planters
•ave seed?” “Oh they let their
hogs gather them.” “but can they
make ■ balance aheet on the right
side and do that?” "Well of course
you could, not in Texas but yre
can in Florida,” 1 let him alpne
for that time, you know Americans
are not quitters and we interview-
ed him one time more and gave
him this problem to solve, “your
Florida planters pay $1 50 ’ per
bushel weight 25 lbs. how many
pounds will a hog gain in weight
feeding himself by rooting 25
pounds of nuts, how long would it
take a man to gather 25 pounds of
seed for painting” Well Mr Mack
has not answered yet, but it strikes
me that Mr.* planter pays the hog
about 75 cents for feeding himself
25 pounds of goobers. Yes he
might come out even if green pork
sold at 25 cents per pound.
You know if a man invests $10.
in goods, rents a room, puts out
his sign, well he is a business man.
while another may invest $10,000 in
land and improvements, machinery
and stock, pulls off his coat works
both brawn and brain, oh he is
just a farmer thats all.
