Every one who has a garden or
farm should write to T. W. Wood &
Sons, 1333. Main St., Richmond,
Va, for their Seed Book for 1903.
It is beautifully gotten up and well

the garden and farm. It is peculiarly
valuable to our southern growers, as
it gives practical information about
the seeds best adapted to our own
section.

An earthquake shock was felt in

is reported from anywhere.

By omitting a sentence in the
"Editors Rounds'' the printer made
us say last week that "Mr. W. Andrew
Derrick, was an invalid." This is not
the case. Mr. Derrick is as sound
as a dollar of one hundred cent?; can
eat three square meals a day with
relishes between meals thrown in and
good at any time for a ten hours' a

it just tackle him and see. What we
wrote was that "Mr. John Brooker,
the father-in-law of Mr. Derrick was
an invalid." Mr. Brooker in his day
and generation was an active and
energetic citizen and his infirmatives
is a direct blow to Lexington couDfcy
as it is deprived of his valuable services.

Commissioners in Session.
The new Board of County Commissioners
was in session last Saturday
and transacted considerable business
of public interest. Tee most
important of which being the assignment
of the members to look after
the roads and bridges, with the fol
a '
lowing result.
Commissioner Rseder to the westem
portion of the county, Supervisor
Shealy, the State road and the
southern part; Commissioner Fry,
was given the Fork.
It was decided not to aek for a
reduction in the tax levy, but to
allow it to remain as it was last year,
3J mills, in order to provide for the
purchase of mules, improved road
machinery and other necessary implements
with a view of putting the
roads of the county in a good traveling
condition. We are glad that the
Board ha3 taken this step and feel !
confident that if they carry out the
present plans in refeience to road |
improvement they will earn the well j
done of their constituents.

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes impossible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
o c
i would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consumption
is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion.. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consumption
you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
Ml
ment you will win.
Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
r, We will send you
HBe sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
