E. F. D. Notes.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Owing to the continuation of the
popularity of our route; a number cf
boxes have been ordered. Oar good
people on the route seem well pleased
with the service Uncle Sam is giving
them.
We take up our pen here again,
And leave the box of Sharpe, F. M.
Come to the box of W. D. Pound,
As noble a boy. as can be found.
Then we'll onward go as you will see.
To the box of our friend Craft, D. E.
He is jolly, clever and honest with the
rest,
And will be in the campaign again I
guess.
Leaving here, we proceed on rue way.
To the next station of Smith, John J.
An honest good man, a cripple for life,
!Now lives on the hill with a second wife,
Then down the hill and pass the mill.
We come to a lx>x which we often fill.
With mail as you can readily see
This is the office of Prof. Smith. J. V.
Passing onward as we glide
We come to another bv the road-side,
Thi s is the box of Smith, J. L.
Who lives at home and is doing well.
Then to the box of an honest good man,
As can be found in Dixie-land,
This noble man is Smith, W. D.,
Don't you think with me you'll agree?
The next at which the carrier you'll see,
Is at the box of Hammond, E. D.,
He stays at home as you will find,
Has a little "wife and a merry good time.
Just down the road with our steed-er.
We come to the home of J. W. Reeder,
xae i?> wcvw, J-IC m nw,
He runs a farm and merchandise.
Onward from here without any fear.
The next place which we find near, .
Is that of Mrs. Rlioda Cook,
Wears an honest face and a clever look.
Away from here the truth I'll tell,
The next stopping place is Roisters, M. L.
He is honest but he's not "sassy,"
He married a girl by the name of
lassy, (ie.)
Then by the big road without a lane,
You'll find the box of Sharpe. James,
His' beard is red, his hair is too,
He has a pretty girl?oh that'll do.
Passing over to the station of Sharpe,
A. B.
I think with me, you all will agree,
He is honest, true and kind,
As any man you may chance to find.
Just on the way as you may see,
We find the box of Taylor, Z.
An excellent man who does no harm
But stays at home and toil on his farm.
.Not far away we come to boxes, two,
Sharpe and Hammond, both honest and
true,
Comes out here and gets their mail
Take it home to read without fail.
Hammond, J. F. and Sharpe, J.
T ^Who are honest for their debts they pay
Tbey owe no man, need 110 grace,
They can look you in the eye and the
world in the face
Then to the box of Fallaw, M. H.
Who never expects to become rich,
X V/ LUU JUUi W4 V a v wv ?' - ~ ?
We have been thinking for sometime
that we would pen a few lines
to your valuable paper in behalf of
the farmers.
This is the season of opportunities.
They are knocking at our doors.
It is the accepted time?the time of
promise. Ic is the opening of a new
avenue in the stretch of life?the
epriDg time. It is the passing of the
old and the beginning of the new.
He keeps 110 cow, he has 110 calf,
Oh! My! You just ought to 'hear him
laugh.
There are others, but we will leave
their names
As we are not writing for wealth or
fame,
But we will simply leave them out,
As we pass over this R. F. D. Route.
To you Mr. Editor we'll humbly bow,
In the most graceful manner we know
how,
Don't get "skeart." don't you '-holler,''
When for the Dispatch, you get that
dollar.

Catarrh Cannot he Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hail's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly gd the blood-and mucous
surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not
a quack mediciDe. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting
diretly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two ingredients
is what produces such wonderful
results in curing Catarrh. Send
for testimonies free.

Sound Advice to Farmers.
fKo P.lifrtr /if fVio Tiiflnato.h:
"Where we failed before we may low
take on hope afresh and renew our
efforts, for Dature is unfolding and
holding out the hand of promise.
New life is now beginning to pulsate
in things that have been sleeping the
sleep that nature ordained for them
till the c cming of the new season
and the return of the warm sunshine
and the spring showers.
We will not attempt to say what
this year may bring forth. We may
say for the last ten years there ht-.Yi
been many changes. Improved cultivation
and improved farm implements
and also improved methods of
improving the *soil. For the last
three or four years we have all wit
?j o 1 i tt
uesseu ouulij LU l/l O ocf/tuiaiij
the cotton crop. We must confess
that it ha? doubled in price, trebled
in many instances. Well, we must all
confess that tho small or short
crop has been a blessiug to us. Xow,
let us say, are we going to let well
enough alone run the whole business i
again by planting the largest crop on
record? If we do, and it is a gord
crop year, we will hear next fall wailing
and gDashing of teeth and rnaDy
a penitential tear will flow from our
eyes. Just reflect soberly and candidly
for a few minutes. If we jump
into debt by buying guano and planting
all our land in cotton with the
idea crammed into our heads that we
will realize fifteen or sixteen cent3
for our cotton, and we make a fourteen
million bale crop, as already
predicted, we say look out for four or
five cents cotton next fall with ruin
that we will not get over in twenty
years and many Dever will. Guano
has advanced from two to three dol
lare more on a ton this year, so we
would advise our farmers to piaut
plenty of corn, raise their own bog
and hominy at home and make our
cotton a surplus crop. Then will be
peace and joy at hand and we can
come home and meet our dear one
and little ones with smiles on cur
faces and imprint upon the cheek of
that dear angel kisses of love, peace
and prosperity.
Halt! halt! and act for our eternal
good. Lo?k out nest fall, if we make
that fourteen million bale crop, for
the bailiff and the sheriff who will
clean us up root and branches atd
!eive us destitute of honor, brerd
and clothes and the darling little
ones will be crying for bread. Poor
angel! heart broken! no bread,
darling, to give you! Ob, our fellow
farmers; let us come together as a
unit that we may better our condition.
Give our closest attention to
our farms and it will not be long he
fore we will be an independent peoi-klo

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. It
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. Dr. W. J.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a
druggist, says of it: <kI have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and prescribed it in my practice for
the past six years. I use it in casee
of pneumonia and have always gotten
the be3t results." Sold by The
Kaufmann Drug Cj.
Death.
Died March 8, 1904, Martha Ardelia
Wessinger, age 31 years and G
months. She was married to William
Wessinger in April of 1887
2 sons preceded ber. She leaves a
husband and 1 daughter to mourn
her departure. She was a member of
the Baptist church. She was an
earnest Christian and we trust she is
now at rest in the sweet homeabive.

Dangers of Pneumonia.
A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is so
often fatal, and even when the patient
has recovered the lungs are weakened,
making them peculiarly susceptible
to the development of consumption.
Foley's Honey and Tar will stop the
cough, heal and strengthen the lungs
and prevents pneumonia. Sold by
The Kaufmann Drug Co.
Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
s blood purifiers, they filil
. , ,, J
I ter out ine waste or
/ impurities in the biood.
If they are sick or out
cf order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fiftycent
and one-dollar siz- BgSPjH
cs. You may have a?
sample bottle by mail Homo of swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Colds Cause Pneumonia.

One Minute Cough Case. She says:
