At a well attended meeting Monday
afternoon at the girls' high school
building a local Red Cross Associa?

tary, Miss Mary WiUm; treasurer, R.

ses. Mrs. J. R. Sumter. Miss Armida

Marriage Dice use Record.

sued to J. H. Windham and Miss
Florence Amerson of May es vi lie. Li?
cense issued to a colored couple is:
Urlas Witherspoon and Virginia
Gayle, Sumter,
J. W. Bradford.
When a good man dies, severing
foreve all earthly ties with those he
loved and leaves in this world, it Is
doe his memory and is the duty of
some friend or associate, to offer
what poor tribute he can to his life
und character, as it was while he was
with us, and as we know it. We all
remember his ever warm and friend?
ly grasp of the hand, or that friendly
pat on the shoulder when he accost?
ed us, and the genial and pleasant
smile on his face.
All that were ever associated with
J. W. Bradford knew what a big gen?
erous heart he had, what a benevolent
faithful and forgiving disposition per?
vaded his nature and accompanied
him through life. He was always
true to his friends, with a spirit
prompting him to generously over?
look their faults. A kind word and a
willingness to aid any one in trouble.
Like all of us he had the trials and
tribulations of this world to go
through with but he bore them like
a man and without a word of com?
plaint. Such was the life of this
worthy man.
We who knew hlrn best, will miss
him most and can only trust that
peace, happiness and rest await him
In that other life to reward him fef
his manly and truthful acts in this
one. FRIEND.

"Clean Up the Boweb and
Keep Them Clean"
There are many remedies to be
had for constipation, b\t the difli
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy that
does not perform
by force what
should be accom?
plished by persua?
sion is Dr. Miles'
Laxative Tablets.
After using them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
315 Washington
St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
"Almost all my
life I have been
troubled with constipation, and have
tried many remedies, all of Which
seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. I Anally tried Dr. Miles'
laxative Tablets and found them ex?
cellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them."
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean," is the advice of ail
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual coil
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great impiovement over the
cathartics you have been using in
the past. They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial
will convince you.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents
a box containing 25 doses. If not
found satisfactory after trial, re^
turn the box to your druggist and
be will return your money. 12

Corn Selling at $1.72 a
Bushel, Wholesale!
Worth Saving, Isn't It?
i
Then feed your stock a ration of COTTON SEED MEAL, with
Corn. Dr. Tait Butler says that if you are feeding your mule 14
lbs. of corn per day, you can take our four pounds and put in
two pounds of Cotton Seed Meal and get better results.
Four pounds of Corn is worth 12 Cents today. Two pounds of
Cotton Seed Meal is worth 4 cents?a saving of 8 cents per day
and each animal fad. In 305 days you would save $29.20, if you
put into practice the advice of Dr. Butler, who is conceded to
be the higest authority on feeds and feeding. It is as necepsary to
SAVE as it is 'to PRODUCE, and "saving" and producing"
are the watchwords of today.
In The Progressiva Farmer, Mach 24th, 1917, Dr. Butler recom?
mends the following ration for work stock when Cotton Seed meal
is used:
(1) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal by weight to 5 parts cf Corn.
(2) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 4 parts Corn, 4 parts Oats.
(3) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 10 parts Oats.
A pint to a quart daily will produce good results.
To be fed with the usual quantities of grass, hay, corn-fodde**,
etc.
These are war times. Corn is a human food. Better save it.
