Plant Wheat Now that the boll weevil is sure to strike our State within the next year, it behooves our farmers to turn their attention to crops other than cotton. With our soil and climate we know of no crop that would ben- j efit the farmer more than wheat raising, for with a good crop of wheat he need have no fear as to ( the high cost of flour. With a soil and climate conditions that are capable of producing wheat, corn,and | <i2 fnrni the staff of , DUVil VUlll vivpc w.... ! life why should we depend on the . "markets of the West for what we , need. Wheat is easily grown and , we hope to see the attention of our ( farmers turn to its culture at once. , Some of our farmers planted wheat ? last year as an experiment, the re- . suits amply paid them for their ef- ( forts, and while a great number of t our farmers are planting wheat again ] this year yet there are not enough | of them doing so. We want to see every farmer in this county raising ( this important crop, and ere long t we hope to see our people in a posi- j tion where they will not he dependent on the West for the commodities : 1 that can, and ought to, be raised ' here at home. i Some may complain that there is 110 mill for grinding wheat into * Hour in this section. This is not a r valid excuse for already The Hec >rd has assurances that if the farmers ^ I T will plant ami raise wheat a mill will be established to put it into good, merchantable Hour. Why Such Bad Roads? t From numerous authentic sources , during the past week have come to us complaints about the bad condition of roads in the county. The roads complained of mostly are those to the Cades, Bloomingvale and Indiantown sections. These roads are in a bad condition in certain sections and should be repaired. Recently we have been over several of the mostly traveled highways in the county and our own observation and experience has confirmed the the justice of the various complaints heard from others. We don't quite AHjderstand why this condition :3houkl prevail at this time, for during the past few months a great deal vof money has l>een spent on the c roads of Williamsb irg by the Federal ^ Government as a relief measure for a the storm stricken sufferers of the e county. c The roads are now full of holes 1 i and ruts, not to speak of many di- c lapidated bridges, dangerous traps t o human life as well as thedestrucion of automobiles and other velicles. Of the latter we have especially in mind one that we had ... ,U C1WS 111 111V iiKiiaiiu'iiM rvvviv.. :hi?s week. Let's ix-rk up on our road work, ind when a piece of work is done let it l>e done in a practically permanent manner. Throwing a few shovels )f soft dirt here and there'in the roads does not fix them satisfactorily. Don't forget that Christmas days ire again drawing near. Don't forget that merchants in this town have the goods that you want to buy for those Christmas days. Don't forget that every dollar you spend with a local merchant remains in local circulation and enriches the community just that much. Don't forget that every dollar you spend outside of this town remains outaide and decreases the 11 ney in lo-' cal circulation just that much. Don't forget that an advertisement of a local merchant in this paper is an indication that the merchant is prepared to "make good" or he would not resort to publicity in soliciting your trade. Don't forget the good advertiser is generally a "liye wire," and that live wires are letter than dead ones. ?? The fellow who goes through life kicking at other people usually is propelled into eternity by a kick from the devil. Kicking don't pay either the kicker or the fellow who i< kicked. The injustice of an unjust kick leaves many a heartache behind,which rankles and grows into bitterness which lasts for months ind years. At times it ceases only ivith the death of the victim. But the victim of the kick is not the only jne who loses in the game. The Kicker makes a reputation for himself with every kick that he gives, ind that reputation follows him :hrough life. When the day comes :hat he needs the services of a friend le often finds that he has kicked :he only people to whom it is possible for him to turn. He loses be ause he has kicked hjmself out of lie confidence of fellow men.

TOOK THREE BOTTLES t "I'm Obliged to Tbink Well of i Medicine That Accomplished What Tanlac Did." | i Dr.) L E Hrantley, a protninen practicing Atlanta physician, rt ^siding at (?(> "? South Pryor streel went into Jacob's pharmacy to pui ! chase mother bottle of Tanlac fc his wife and irade the followin ! statement regarding the benefits sh has derived from the medicine: "I am obliged to think well of medicine that accomplished whs Tanlac has in my wife's case. Sh has gained all of fifteen pounds o three bottles of the medicine an she is now a well woman in ever respect. "She has suffered from indige: tion and nervousness since HK)f She could not retain anything scarce ly on her stomach and she w* troubled a great deal bv the formr tion of gas. She suffered constani ly with headaches and backache and was nauseated more or less a the time. She could not sleep c rest well at all on account of he - :i: 3 uervuus cuuuuion, itiiu sue ucvail very weak and thin. "I decided to buy Tanlac for h< because it was so highly recommenc ed for troubles like hers, and I ai glad to say the results have bee most gratifying. Gas has stoppe forming and she retains and digesl her food properly and has built u wonderfully. The headaches an pains in her back are broken up an she sleeps well every night. I cor sider her improvement almost r< markable, and I can now recon mend Tanlac for what it has dor for her." Coming from the high source does, and especially from a mem he of the medical profession, thi straightforward utterance of D Brantley is more than a recommend ation. It is a triumph. Tanlac nature's great vegetable tonic, coi rective and system builder, is trul one of the greatest discoveries of th decade, and the best evidence c this is the confidence and high e* teem in which it is held by the grea masses of people. No other medi cine has ever established the repute tion Tanlac has nor any other rt ceived the high endorsement c medical men and laity.
