1 — ■"* * • MaKlng More Money Out of Cotton Crop* is merely a question of using enough of the right kind of fertilizers. Virginia-Carolina F ertilizers are the right kind. * The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you. See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says: "I planted about 30 acres of some 'gray sandy land* that had been in cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds, of Virginia-Caro- lina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather 30 bales from the 30 acre*.” This is why we say it is the right kind.

The school fakir, the iznorant preacher, the pompous statesman, the country camp meet ing, the HolUsvIlle Collegiate Hllltary Institute, Professor Jefferson Maruulolus Tllson, President, with Its drills and entertainments—the accent on the meats—are all there, with the appropriate and familiar trappings, fantastic regaila and general high mightiness. There is a beautiful love story as the real basis of the novel, and a thrilling story of a gen eral awakening wrought by an ardent young school reformer. The Dark Corner Is a book that should take its place beside “David Harum.” “Mrs Wlgss” and a few other select volumes which paint con temp irary life -'as she Is lived'' The description of certain phases of village'Ife as depleted In “iiolilsvllle’’ and the pic tures drawn of the bleak and dreary life of “The Dark Corner*' are as clever and sprightly as anything that has been done in^Am-rlcan^tictlon this many a day.

Tailor Gown for Spring. Most of the new spring street suits are made of plain materials though a few striped fabrics are seen. Serge Is used a good deal, so also Is mohair which comes with a new silky finish that is very attractive Indeed. Panar ma and cheviot are also employed and of course broadcloth. For more dressy frocks voile Is used, while cashmere is a prime favorite with the fashionable dressmakers. The coats of the new tailor suits are cut with the hipless effect and the long straight lines that have been the mode all through the winter. They range from thirty-six to forty-five Inches long and are in cutaway style fastening on the chest with two or three buttons and sometimes with only one. Fashionable Fabrics. Some of the very prettiest of the new materials are made with deep borders of graduated stripes. Many charming cotton fabrics are finished in this way, while the new veils are riven a very elaborate and dressy ap pearance by a wide border of satin fferipes. Foulards are to be worn' again and come in lively conventional patterns on a satin surface. Pongee and tussah silk will also be popular. This spring Is to witness the revival of an old favorite sateen that has been out of fashion for years. Linens of all kinds both white and colored and their various imitations are to have a wide popularity. A Notable Opening. The largest retail ' establishment here, occupying two full blocks, is making a notable display of American Printing Co. fabrics. These are a re velation to most women in their at tractive reproduction (initiation?) of the smartest patterns and colorings of pongee and foulard suitings. Well known fashion designs are responsible for the “up^o-the-minute” frocks displayed in the many win dows, and It is safe to say that few women who sec them neglect to buy one or two dress patterns of these practical and pretty wash fabrics. Spring Millinery. Big hats of chip or Leghorn are to be worn a great deal. These are lavishly trimmed with flowers and foliage and occasionally with ostrich plumes or paradise aigrettes. Large turbans are to be fashionable and many trim little hats in toque shape. The new toques of directoire typo made entirely of small roses or rose buds and trimmed with small plumes or aigrettes are one of the very latest novelties. Big chip hats in picture shape are most artistically trimmed with flowers. An unusual but very lovely hat shown at a fashionable milliner’s is of pale blue chip, trimmed with violets massed across the front and loops of violet ribbon, while on the left side are two very pale pink crash roses. Roses of all sizes are special favor ites, placed singly around Che crowns ter say thet we have nothin’ In com mon with no officer thet uses his club in th’ breakway tan’ gouges in a rough an’ tumble; as we thoughtfully and abstractedly put one of our eyes back Into its socket this mornln’ an’ tied a barrel stave to our hack ter keep our broken spine from wobblin’ we decided ter visit Houston city as soon as th’ crowd goes and have some understandln’; falin’ In getting’ mat ters arranged on a live and let live basis we shall seek recreation In some other town whose officers do not bite, gouge, spike, kick, butt, pile on or otherwise try ter disfigure th’ casual visitor.” The Fanner’s Wife b very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives It a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour It will taint the butter that Is made In it. The stomach Is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into It? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn—absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, •ores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of tiiem, indicate that you are Buffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy liver with the usual accompanying indi gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements. absolutely true will be readily proven to your satisfaction If you will but mail a postal card request to Dr. R.

CORES 1 * SKIN DISEASES) There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day aad night, through the pores and glands of the akin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our aystems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin r and so long aa the blood is free ftam impar ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any caaaa becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, aad coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the ffrl« it so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and akin affections of various a™-**#. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged Sf inactive condition of the system; the members whose duty it is to carry at the waste a id refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their wodc, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed hy the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the system, but poisons from without, such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thor oughly do they become rooted in the blood that they are ever present, or return at certain seasons of each year to torment the sufferer. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping the akin clean, but it does not reach the real cause, and at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing purifying the blood, and caring skin affections of every kind. It supplies to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualitiee necessary to sustain the skin end all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. 6. S.
