THE COUNTY FAIR.
A great many persons you speak
to about it say the County Fair is a
mighty good thing and when asked:
“What are you doing to make it a
success?”—will say; “Oh, nothing.
I have nothing to exhibit.” Now
the success of the Fair does not de-
pend on such men as this, but it
result is a pleased oust omer and more
general satisfaction all round.
When a grocer sells 2. r »-cent coffee,
he does not mix in some of his 40-
cent grade; nor when he is buying a
barrel of flour from the manufac
turer does he expect to get the
weight of the barrel in a finer grade
of flour. Yet that is what numbers
of southerh farmers are doing every

The farmer had put in that much
weight in lint cotton worth 12 .1-2
cents a pound. The exporter adds
extra bagging and ties worth 3 1-2
cents a pound, and makes $1 a bale.
The Progressive Farmer has made a
valuable point which should not be
lost sight of. It will not take a very
sharp pencil to figure out that 470
pounds of cotton and 30 pounds of
bagging will bring higher returns
than 480 pounds of lint cotton and 20
pounds of bagging. ^ *
Moreover, by this course greater
protection to the staple is afforded,

Prostration
*T suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles’

MRS. D. I. JONES,

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It’s the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs arc weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific lor the nerves. It
soothes the irritation ami assists
in the generation 01 nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly mUs
it if you take Dr. Miles’ XerviYie
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
docs not benefit he will return
your money.
