ations to Definite Conclusion la
Around $100,000.
Clio.—About two years ago strong
evidence of oil was discovered on tli«
plantation of C. H. Jackson at Flv«
Forks near Qlio. It was a very wet
season and an excavation that was be-
ins made on the place became filled
with water that seeped in from below
ground. It .was observed that ft heavy
scum or greasy substance began ap
pearing on.the surface of the water,
moved each day, it readily reformed.
Discussing this phenomena with ac
quaintances, they became curious and
began invetsigating and speculating
on the probable composition of the
substance. A newspaper which was
saturated with the substance burned
with explosive rapidity, which was
sufficient evidence of oil possibilities
to create considerable excitement.
*
Mr. Jackson was urged at the time
to develop the prospect. This he has
finally agreed to and states that a
petition for a charter has been mailed
the secretary of state, asking for a
commission to create a corporation of
about $100,000, the estimated cost of
carrying the operations; to a definite
conclusion and he hopes to begin oper

A Word to Farmers:
V
‘ #
It’s harvest time. The snowy cotton is being
gathered and the golden corn garnered. The
farmers are exchanging the products of their
fields for the coin an currency of the republic.
Some will pay their billg in cash and carry home
their surplus money to be kept in more or less
insecure places. The farmer who is a business
man^deposits his money in the bank, pays his
bills with checks and has no worry as to the
security of his surplus: The farmer--who dees
has no difficulty in securing a loan when he
needs one. This bank makes a specialty of giv
ing satisfactory service to .farmer customers and
invites the accounts of farmers who have not
been in the habit of handling their funds thru
a bank. The farmer who does so never regrets
making the'change from the unbusinesslike cus
tom of the many farmers , who do not have
checking accounts. Take our advice, Mr. Far
mer. It’s good advice.

Trenton.—A. Sidney Miller and J.
A. Clark have returned from an auc
tion aald^in Louisville, Ga., of 85 head
of registered hogs. The 85 head
netted $18,000, the largest amount bid
on any one hog being $750. A. S. Mil
ler purchased one breed hog at $600
and two pigs at $100 each. J. A.
Clarke bought two brood hogs, one
at $400 and the other at $275. and two
pigs at $100 each. -
Tbs hogs arrived and were of great
interest ^to those thinking of othof
methods of living than by cotton.
S OME Thornhill owners constantly
comment on die ease with which die
wagon can be ‘‘ba6ked up.” This is due
to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but t
half circle (\j). Ip making a sharp turn bolsters
often run to the end of die track and become
derailed.” Thornhills cannot do this because
their track is a circle ( O )•
*...
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre
mendous overloads, Thornhill axles n£ver break.
The reason for this is plain. They use tough
highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar
that extends the full length of the axle.
Still others comment that the gears never get out
of line. This unusual feature is due to one of
their workmen’siriveriddhs. He designed a malle
able front hound plate—boked to the gears at
eight points. It’s literally a jacket of iron that
holds gearsin line and insures light running for life.
From hilly sections come reports that the old
trouble of broken king boks is unknown among
owners of Thornhill W|gons. This because
uf b cup and saucer arrangement on die bolster
that re&eves the king bolt of strain*
To others the amazing featuTe is the long life of
Thornhill beds—due to their location which gives
diem the pick of the yearly cutting of wood and
due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure
lead and linseed oil despite its high cost. '
Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills
unusual strength where they are accustomed to
weakness. .
Let us show you this perfected wagon. (asm]
