Laughter promotes health and vi tality by stimulating our entire sys tem. One full dose of “The Funny Fellows of New York,” as prescribed by he inimitable comedian, John Thompson, will do a person more good thas one hundred' bottles of the best known tonic. If there Is such a thing as one of the funny fellows being the funniest, the prize, as has often been remark ed. should go to “Silly Billy.’’ Everything that Billy does is comic al—his look, his dress, his manner of speakng. his actions, all are comical. Silly Billy is a very fine musician; his solo on the Lilliputian violin, on which he plays the “Carnival af Ve nice,’’ with variations. Is so well ren dered that only a person with a musical education ca Q fully appre ciate the skillful manner In which he handles this Instrument. Another surprise for the audience is when he introduces a plicated piece of paper which he calls a “Pro- to-fo-to-tdlo-riculum.” This Is truly a wonderful piece of paper, which words cannot describe. Billy turns this piece of paper into tblry-two different articles, such as boys’ caps, women’s hats, stair cases, sugar scoops, bon nets, etc. As a banjo player. Billy Is very fine. His Imitation of the “Trinity church chime hells,” of New York city, on the banjo, will always be re membered by all who see it. When Billy is not singing a song or telling some funny story, it Is only because he Is playing some musical Instru ment. It has often been Bald of “Bil ly” that he Is as funny as a circus and a minstrel troupe combined. The other nine characters are Just a- funny. Mr. Thompson will appear' at the Star Theatre September 20th. Second Series 0 f the People’s B. A. L.

Dear Sir; Ten years ago. there was one pure paint and 200 adulter ated; there are now eight pure, 200 adulterated, about half the latter short-measure besides. There is utlll but one best, and the difference Is ten gallons Devoe goes as far as eleven next-best—$5—In every ten gallons, A new word has come-up in paint; It Is strong. Strong paint goes fur ther and wears longer; weajc paint takes more gallons and wears-ont sooner. The proper cost of a 10-gallon Job is $50. Paint that takes 11 gallons makes it $55. Paint that takes 13 gallons makes it $05. Paint that takes 20 gallons makes It $100. The $50 job wears twice as long as the $100. These figures are not precise; they are round. The 10-gal lon paint Is Devoe. Yours truly 48 F W DBJVOE A OO P. S. Gaffney Hardware Company sell our paint. Throws Away Annually $27,000,000. (Miami, Fla., Record.) A n official in the agricultural de partment who la well versed on the subject of cotton seed has estimated that the farmers of the South lost annually $27,000,000 by not market ing their cotton seed. His estimate is gained through the following facts: An average crop of 12,000,000 bales will afford a vleld of 6.000,000 tones of cotton seed. The cotton seed mills of the State report annually that of this anffiunt 3,500,000 tons are crush ed at their refineries. Allowing a bushel to an acre for planting, the farmer keeps at home 500,000 tons of cotton seed, or enough to plant 30,000,000 acres in the snowy staple. This will leave a clear 2,000,000 tons of cotton seed which are either thrown away, left to He on the ground and rot. ag in olden days, or the seed are placed In the ground as a fertilizer. It is estimated that out uf this amount of seed wasted there is $2,- 000,000 worth of Hnt. which is used for all sorts of practical purposes abroad, and $25,000,000 worth of cot ton seed oil which is never extracted and refined, which. Dr. McCandless states, is of no earthly use as a fer tilizer. This experiment, with this state ment of the waste that is going on around the country, will doubtless cause more cotton seed to be placed o n the market. Interdenominational s. S. Convention.

Office over R. A. Jones’ store. N., B. Brown. Sept 16 pd. i Notice to the Public! On and after September let, 1907, I will sell no more bread or bread tickets on credit. My reasons for establishing a cash basis are too numerous to men tion, however, will mention a few: First. The material from which bread is made is bought strictly for cash, and must be sold accordingly. Second. Bread is sold for too small a margin to pay for carrying an entry through the number of books it must go when charged. Last, but not least, purchas ers of tickets frequently receive bread from the driver without giving him a ticket, as they are not convenient, and when bills are presented they are under the impression that tickets have been given in exchauge and unpleasant feelings are caused when such bills are presented to both purchaser and collector. I trust you will thoroughly understand my position and realize it is to the best interest of both pupchasers and myself that I establish a cash basis, and always send cash when you want tickets or bread, and I shall continue to strive to de serve your patronage. Respectfully, J F. Fincken. Cherokee B.: L ‘ Fifth Series Opens August 1st Stock ~ ‘ _ Taken-Applications For Loans Filed.
