“Kool Korn” is evidently get
ting scarce in this secton—or
maybe more people are comply
ing with the spec! ska tons of the
Volstead Act as regards drink
ing same. Anyway, the hilarity
and boisterousness caused by
partaking too freely of this bev
erage has decreased consider
ably here of late.
Dr. L. R. Adams, who is pre
scription clerk, soda jerker, own
er and general manager of the
Pembroke Drug Company, was
serving bottled coca-cola lirsbet
Jfe week instead of the fount
coca-cola. He claimed he was
out of ga.Z “Doc’s” fount was
perhaps out of gas, but not him.
For a stretch of about a mile
just this side of Blitchton a
highway has been built that will
equal any in the state. The road
has been thrown up about five or
six feet, is about forty feet wide
and is of a hard clay surface.
Bulloch county convicts are
doing some excellent work at
Burnsed’s bridge over Black
Creek. A high embankment is
being thrown up on both sides
of the bridge and an excellent
road is being built.

I wish to notify the public that 1 am again handling the time-tried bop
weevil remedy, Weevilnip, which 1 sold test j'ear and proved its efliracy. Don t

With the uwe of thia remedy 1 made four bales tent year '-n five acres. Will
gladly furnish the names of others who used the remedy.
’llie prices will be as follows: 60 rents per gallon in 50-gallon lotp, 65
cents in 25-ffallon lots: 70 cents in 10-gal'on lots, and 76 cents in 5-ga)lon lota,
