It isn’t the kind of food you eat, but rather what your stomach fails to digest, that gives you indigestion. Lard is a foe to digestion. If you had the stomach of an ostrich you could hardly withstand the ravages of lard-soaked pastry. You have probably found this out and already given up the eating of pastry. Tis wholly unnecessary! Anyone can eat and digest food cooked with Cottolene—the perfect shortening. It is a pure vegetable product, made from the best beef suet and choicest vegetable oil It is neutral in teste and odor; it is Nature’s Gift from the Sunny South. Cottolene is never sold in hulk. It is put up in carefully sealed tin pails. And right here is another advantage. When you buy lard you have no protection as to quality—you simply know you are getting LARD—never mind the grade, it’s just L-A-R-D. On the other hand, every pail of Cottolene is uniform—the product is guaranteed. You take no chances whatever. In the face of these facts just ask yourself if you can afford to use hog Uvrd when you can get pure, healthful, nutritious Cottolene. « USE LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking butter, one-third less is required. IT'D 1717 Send us a 2c stamo to pay postage and we’ll mail you a copy of our book.

The abnvt retrospect of pricp* will remind our farmer friends of the prices for their staple prortuct for the vears mentioned and of the hardships ney underwent when the lowest prices prevailed Mr Black also showed us a large timber of tax receipts which he had iid in Union, Spartanburg and Cherokee counties, which shows bis -si careful methods with his papers hat be is known to use in his farm m-rations. He has always been a stnall farc er of to*- hog and hominy km d. wh produces all his famih supplies m his farm. His life hat- been one c low but sure progress which has stcured to him at all time- the independent life that his methods always assure. On his farm of about 150 acres he keeps only a few cattle and hogs, but they are all ol pifp breeds and of the kind best suit ed for a farm :hesize of his. While tie only intends to raise what he cp^ds, it is no'j often you can fine him when he cannct spare a good milk cow ora few thoroughbred pigs. Mr. Black gi/es close attention to all the small details of his farm work 11 which he largely attributes his sue 0388. A NE\A DEPOT. ridzens of CiafTnry will Aak for a Brick Structure.

We justlv de s«rve a better and more sightly depot «nd from the fact that the Southern Railroad Co is now preparing to add t > the old wooden depot here, which is in direct violation of the town or diance (it being in the fire limits), we think that now is the time to ‘act promptly and aek for your immediate j assistance in bringing about the change and improvements suggested above before the railway company goes to any expense in patching up the old one.
