D. 1, April 27.— the farmer to do is to plant corn and “j»jew occasions teach new duties; peas, either of which mabes good food for man or beast. There Is more money—clear money—in a pea farm than in a cotton farm. Why, look at the number of bushels can be produced on one acre of land and at the same time consider your time lost while making them and the cost of supplies used in preparing your land for the crop. You must agree with me that I am correct. A master snake killed two little chickens fop Mrs. J. J. Jenkins last night. * The hawks are very bad iu this section. They are catching two chickens per day, some days. Mr. F. H. Martin, of this place, had a couple of swanys of bees to take their flight for parts unknown yes terday. So did Mr. J. J. Jenkins have a swarm to leave yesterday. Bees sometimes are hard to please, and if they are not pleased you soon will have their room in lieu of their com pany. This seems to be a bountiful honey season. The bees are doing fairly well. If one has the habit of feeding his bees he is advised not to feed them on such as burnt sugar, rotten ap ples, etc. Cyder barrels are a bad "suck” for 'bees, and they too, like to visit this kind of “suck" for their manna. While they may live and do well during the summer, but when winter comes they are apt to die. Al ways leave honey sufficient to do them in the hive and you will not have need to feed them. A pound of good honey would. I should think, do a large swarm of bees a month, and perhaps longer. I notice that “Pete” does want pro hibition. The question is, when will people consider the evil of liquor? When they do this we shall have pro hibition, and not before. The whooping cough is doing its share in our section at present and seems to want to jump on some a second time. Miss Strawsy Guyton has had whooping cough but is getting bet ter. The county chaingang is camped at this place and is doing some good work along the road which has been needed for a good while. Mr. Lip scomb is a good county supervisor nnd we hope will fill the office again. He has furnished the “boys” with cots to sleep on, hence preventing sickness. They go there to work, rot to take medicine, and this Mr. Lipscomb knew.

One must be prepared to handle any subject whatsoever when he begins to write for publication. Mr. Tom Mitchell, of Hickory Grove, spent Sunday night at Mr. J. R. Hogue’s. Before the battle—Mrs. Gasser, “I was outspoken in my sentiments at the club this afternoon.” Mr. Gasser: “I cant believe it! Who outspobe you. my dear?” I believe that spring time has come once more to our fair Southland. And I know that we are all pleased to see it. We have been hearing the song of the “wailing whoppoorwill” for some time, and the trees and fields are putting on their summer coat of green. Everything considered. I believe farm work is advancing nicely in this section. If nothing happens, we shall have some fruit this year, I think. But it may be rather scarce in some places. Mr. John Caldwell went fishing on Silver creek Monday afternoon, but he caught no fish. He says fish are very scarce in these “diggings.” and indeed they are. There are fish in some of the larger streams, though, I suppose, but when the boys go thither to fish, they should see that the jugs contain nothing but bait. There are, you know, some things which a fish won't bite. I love to read history. Tom Wat son is my favorite historian among those of today. He is truthful, honest, sincere and impartial in his statements of faet. I have read his “The Life and Times of Thomas Jef ferson” and "The Life and Times of Andrew Jackson.” They are great works, and are written in a manner favorable to all the people. No one historian can be expected to tell the whole truth except to the extent that lie is informed, but if the historian is in sympathy with the people, as Watson certainly is, then his book deserves consideration. I received cards the other day from B. B. L., of Florida, and Will A. Darby, of Gaffney. I thank you both for remembering me. “J. L.

In my opinion, to maintain gen eral health, and that is by building up the digestive organs. The vast ma jority of Americans today have weak, flabby, distended stomachs. This has been caused by many generations of over-feeding and lack of exercise, until today the entire civilized race is af fected. This is the true cause of most of the ill health of today. Little can be done to relieve It until the stomach is once more brought back to normal conditions. “I am successful because my prepa ration puts the stomach in sound con dition, and as I maintain this is the only way to secure general and per manent good health.” Among many prominent people who have recently become converted to Cooper’s theory Is Mr. E. M. Howey, o€ 47% De Russey Street, Binghamton, N. Y., who says: “I had stomach trouble for about six years. After eat* ing, I would become bloated and havo a distressed feeling for several hours. This would be accompanied by heart* burn, and I reached the point where h could not enjoy my meals at aU. “I tried different remedies in an ef* fort to find relief, but without success. After taking three bottles of Cooper’s New Discovery I am entirely cured. My stomach does not bother m« in th« least, and I can eat anything I like.

If I mistake not, those who take this view of the case say that it is because of his Demo cratic tendencies, - as shown in his re cent messages and speeches. But I am not afraid of Roosevelt’s demo cracy. Indeed, there isn’t enough of real democracy about him to put a patch on Watson's ulster, notwith standing he has received so much flattery from the Democrats. He is a good Republican, but he is not a De mocrat. Mrs. Milton Stewart and children are visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hogue at this writing (Friday). Like most other writers, I some times say things which do not per- haps interest anybody but myself. I, however, trust I do not tire the read er with my nonsense, for when one is in the business of supplying the public with reading matter, he often is “pushed,” as the saying is, for ma terial to work with. There are some writers and speakers who never seem at a loss for something to say, but I believe they are in the smaller num ber. If we read closely, we find that the same thing is often repeated in different words. Ah! ’tis hard to be original. I attended church services at Beer- sheba Sunday. The Rev.

Certain period icals inten ded in patent medicine reform have declared that the formulas of many patent medi cines will have to be changed before the manu facturers will dare conform with this law. These periodicals also declare that the public will never know of these changes, and never know what these remedies formerly contained. This suspicion, however, cannot rest upon Kex- all Remedies. You have absolute proof* that Rexall Remedies have notbeen changed to con form with the new Pure Food Law, because you knew the formulas of these remedies four years ago! The Rexall formulas were never secret. The thousand Rexall druggists have always known all the Rexall formulas and given them to every cus tomer who asked for them. No one Rexall Remedy was ever claimed to be a “cure-all —each of the oOO remedies is de signed to cure a certain human ill—and dofs it. These 300 remedies were selected from among thousands because they were the most reliable and successful cures in the world. Far Irom wishing to conceal the formulas of these remedies, we are proud to tell just what they are, and al ways have been. That’s where the Rexall plan goes further to safeguard you than does the Pure Food Law. Even now you’ll only know the dangerous drugs in other patent medicines, while you have always been able to know the complete fornndas of Rex all Remedies! # The Rexall guarantee has been the greatest evidence of the sincerity back of the Rexall Rem edies. For four years Rexall druggists have offered to return the money to any one who brought back an empty Rexall bottle or package and said they were not satisfied. We, as one of the Rexall druggists, feel a gen uine satisfaction in having been able to supply this community for four years with otie line of medicines which the United States Govern ment by its new Pure Food Law shows were always made right and sold right, and have tie- served every bit of the faith you have had in them. The Pure Food Law may necessitate changes in other medicines, but it only endorses Rexall Remedies. A few of tl. 300 famous R FIX ALL Remedies, one for each human ill, are: FOR CATARRH-MUCU-TONE The chief ingredients of Mucu-Tone are Gentian, Cubens, Cascara Sa^rada. Glyc erine and Saisaparilla.

FOR NERVES — AMERICANIT1S IUXIR The Rexall Americanitis Elixir is a ton ic nerve food composed chiefly of free Phosphorus, Glycophosphates, Iron Pyro phosphate and Calisava.

The Glycophosph^tes, actual nerve-tis- sue builders, are one of the most recent and valuable additions to this branch of medicine and unquestionably a more effi cient remedy than the well-known Hypo- phosphites.
