Romans Enjoy Vegetables out ofThelr Gardens in the Middle of November. The fall and winter to date has been one of the mildest this section has experienced in many years. With the exception of a few nights when frost occurred the weather has been almost like summer. On last Sunday Mr. A. W. Tedcastle had English peas for dinner and they were gathered out of his garden the day before. As is well known the English pea is easily killed by the cold weather, Sunday Officer Horry Wiippee had beans for dinner which came fresh from his garden. They grew in the open garden and without any protec tion from chilly nights. Yesterday morning the weather was very mild and balmy. Shortly after noon rain threatened to fall but did not do so here. There was a decided atmospheric change, however, and a cold wind began blowing from the north about 4 o’clock. The deficiency in rainfall through this section is great. Many farmers are compelled to haul all the water they use. And this is taking place in communities where they have never before been compelled to do so. The three year old boy of J. A.JJohn son, of Lynn pen ter, 111., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Cha<u berlain’s Cough Remedy, during a se vere attack, saved his little boy’s life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place; *iud they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures cf croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all oases. Sold by Curry-Arrington Co., Rome, Ga.
