Nature’s Gift from the Sunny South otto leu Shortens your fbod-LcnAns w life ' The wise housewife specifies Cottolene every time in place of lard. Anyone with a particle of respect for his stomach would prefer a pure vegetable prod'''Jc to one made from hog fats. Cottolene is always pure; lard isn’t Cottolene will make mye palatable food than lard, and food that any stomach can digest with ease. Lard is a friend of indigestion. Cottolene is put up in odor-proof sealed tin pails ; lard comes in bulk and will absorb any old odor which is near it. You can prove every word we say by buying and trying a pail of Cottolene. All good grocers sell it; all the great cooking authorities of America recommend it ... USB $$ LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking butter, one-third less is required 1?X5I3'T7 r and us a 2c stamp to pay • Home Helps." edited by 1 Made only by THE N. K. FAIRBANK COMPANY.

How un just that is; as there is a dif ference in lawyers and a dif ference in doctors, so there is a vast difference in drug gists. Some carry the best drugs and some don’t, some do skillful prescription work and some don’t,some are ex tremely careful about check ing and safe-guarding every precautions part of the work, while others are not at all careful. When you have a prescription filled at our store you can depend that is filled just as the doctor wishes it to be" filled, that none but the best and finest medicines are used,that it is filled by a man legally qualified to fill pre scriptions, and that the price is nghW and reasonable in every respect We invite your prescription trade, and assure satisfaction in every particular.

Mrs. Brown thinks that he is dead. Fur ther investigations will be made. Death of Mr. Allen Jefferies, Mr. Wm. Allen Jefferies, second son of the late Cupt. John R. Jeffer ies, died at his home about four miles below the city Tuesdayjevening at 7 o’clock, after a long illness, in bis thirty-fifth year, and was buried in the family lot at Elbotbel church Wednesday. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. F. C. Hickson. Mr. Jefferies was of one of the pio neer families of this section, which has been prominent here from the first settlement of the country. He was a mamber of the First Baptist church, a kind husband, good neighbor, a successful farmer and a citizen of sterling worth. He leaves bis wife, who wa a Miss Kate Goudeiock, a daughter of Mr. Wm. L. Goudeiock, his mother, several brothers and several sisters, and numerous other relatives and friends, to mourn their loss, and they are joined in their sorrow by all our peo ple by whom Mr. Jefferies was held in high esteem. A Valuable Catalogue. Wood’s seed hook for 1904 has been very carefully compiled, and is unquestionably the best business seed catalogue issued, giving the most valuable up to date information about all garden and farm crops. Wood’s catalogues are always chock full of iuformtion which farm ers and gardeners especially appreci ate. and we don’t believe that there is another publication, than the re spective issues of their catalogue that has exerted such a wide infiu enoe iu giving farmers and garden ers correct knowledge as to the best crops to grow in the south.
