I said iu February forecast that "February will be rather unfavorable for pushing agrieultural work." Has it not been verified up to the present? Now we will Fee for March. My forecasts of the weather are not "prophecies" or "guesses," but are calculations made on scientific princi pies from what I have discovered from fifteen years daily observations. The rainy days or cold waves may be of shorter or longer daration than is laid down ic the forecast an^ proba bly they may reach further south?that is the cold ware. J. Martin Grant. Convincing Answer. "I hobbled into Mr. Blackmon's drugstore one evening," says Wesley Nelson, of Hamilton, Ga , "and he asked me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rteumatism with which I had suffered for a long ticae. I told him I had no faith in any medicine as they all failed. Hs said: 'Well if Chamberlain's Pain Balm does not help you, you need not pay for it.' I took a bottle of it home and used it according to the direction# and ib one week I was cured, and have not ?i?ce been troubled with rheumatism." Sold by McMaster Co. CHJESTEB AFTEK HIM. "r" ?
