Murph of the Wesley chapel section, together with 70 bales of j cotton, about 20 tons of seed and many other articles of value on the ^ premises. The ginnery was in operation. Ignition was, effected in the J gins among the loose cotton. The rapidly moving air wnnin xne wxifines of the system carried the blaze to ail parts of the machinery with almost instant rapidity and in a few moments the entire building and contents were wrapped in.flames. So rap? id was the contagion that Mr: v\. Murph was compelled to unhitch and drive his mules from the wagon standing under the sheds in order to V- prevent their' being burned. The greater part of the cotton destroyed was ginned and lying about the prem^ ises in bales. The system was a comt* v plete and costly affair. Mr.' Murph had no insurance and the loss is apjjs proximately $15,000.?The State. Grain,!' Says Fred Lamb. & - ; ' hard to keep rats out of a feed'store. *Triea for years.'

I ?? Thin Blood Saps Energy?Glide's Pepto-Mangan Rebuilds the Blood. ., ?? (jg'V * Wrestling with a weakened condix? tlon of the blood is a desperate struggle. Thin, watery blood deprives the v body of energy and causes a playedout feeling not unlike utter exhaustion. A man with weak blood has not the C full use of his powers. He lacks decision, and vacillates until he loses selt-confidence. Some men, and women too, go falIll'fr tering along for months scarcely realizing that they need Gude's PeptoMangan, the blood-builder. But when they have taken it for a while, what v a difference there is in the feelings!
