222 South Peoria St.,
Chicaoo, III., Oct. 7,1902.
Eight months ago I was so ill
that I was compelled to lie or sit
down nearly all the time. My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without groat
pain and I coughed so much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and sore. The doctors pro
nounced it Bright’s disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
they called it and I had no de
sire to live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wino of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much suffer
ing if they but knew of its value.
Don't you want freedom from
pain? Take Wine of Cardui
and make one supreme effort to
he well. You do not need to he
a weak, helpless sufferer. You
can have a woman's health and
do a woman’s work in life. Why
not secure a bottle of Wine of
Cardui from your druggist to-
. day?

Of Interest In The Kitchen.
The cullinary pages of the De
lineator for November breathe
the spirit of the Thanksgiving
feast., but, they are not filled with
the trite recipes that it is cus
tomary in many publications to
recuscitate at this season. The
title of the paper in the “Oarlot-
ta and I,” series, An Old-fash
ioned Thanksgiving, might, sug
gest the contrary, but the dishes
therein explained are of such an
age that they are disregarded in
this day, to the great loss of mod
ern gourmands, and well merit
retelling. Likewise the wording
of “A Colonial Dinner for thanks
giving” is misleading, for it is
not the New England dinner en
joyed by our forefathers, with
which every one is familliar, but
a more elaborate offair, denomi
nated a la Kusse and, doubtless,
as delectable. A Witch’s Sup
per for Hallowe’en and Some
Sweet Sauces are. both enticing,
and Mushrooms in Delicious
Forms contain some worthy sug-
tions for the housewife. Two
illustrated pages of Oakes for
Special Occasion are an attrac
tive leature.
THE BEST DOCTOR.
Rev. B. C. Horton, Sulpher Springs.
Texas, writes, July 19th, 1899: “I have
used in my family Ballard’s Snow Lini
ment and Horeliound Syrup, and they
have proved certainly satisfactory. The
liniment is the best we have ever used for
headache and pains. The cough syrup
has been our doctor for the last eight
years ” 25c, 50c, $1.00 at Cooper’s drug

To gain flesh drink plenty of
water and milk both at and be

and exhausted between meals as

do not hesitate to eat a light

the stomach is empty and the
system needs nourishment.

The cries of sea birds, espec
ially seagulls, are very valuable
as fog signals. The birds cluster
together on the cliffs and coast,
and their cries warn boatmen

was a fine for shooting such birds.

“All right,” answered the pre
cocious Jamie, “but I know an
other word mamma, that’s worth
half a dollar.”

GEORGIA CROP REPORT
As Given by Department of
Agriculture.
SHOWS SOME DETERIORATION.
Report Is Based on Letters Received
at Department From Reliable Par
sons In Different • Section*.
September 24th, 1903.
Tins crop report of the Georgia De
partment of Agriculture, issued Sep
tember 24th, 1903, and based, on the
answers to nearly 1,000 letters sent to
reliable persons In different sectlona
of every county In the state, showB
the condition and prospect of our
principal crops up to the middle of
the current month.
The report shows h deterioration In
the prospects of some of the crops,
especially cotton.
Everything was set hack by the late
spring, and when ihe prospect seemed
good for a rally from the early unfa
vorable conditions, a long-continued
drouth set In, which was at laRt
broken by chilling raliiB that did much
damage, especially to cotton.
Rust also has appeared In some sec-
tions, and In many Instances the boll
worm and caterpillar have made so-
rloiis Inroads.
Hay and rice that had not been
housed suffered considerable.
damage.
The present condition and
prospect
of the various crops, as compared to
last June, Is as follows:

Cotton appears to he tho greatest
sufferer. There Is a very slim chancs
for Improvement In this crop.
Corn Is doing fairly well, and so Is
sugar cane. Corn on bottom lands Is
good. Jn some sections poor on up
lands.
ltlce seems to be holding Its own
better than any other crop.
Farm Labor.
Many of our farmers find great dlf-
ffeuty In securing hsnda to gather
their crops after they have been
raised.
One great trouble Is that factories
give much larger compensation to
their employees and require fowei
hours of labor. It Is tlu-refore^iatural
that an ablebodied man should prefor
to go where he gets more pay for less
work. Even the farmer boys ars
with difficulty kept upon the farm.
They tire of the schedules run upow
so many farms: getting up at 5 a.
m.; working until 12 m.; going back
to work at 1 u. m.; stopping when It
gets too dark for any more work;
feeding the stock or cleaning the st»
ble after dark; eating supper between
7 and 8 p. m; then, too tired for read
ing or any of the pleasures of the
family circle, going to bed, to awake
next morning to the same weary round
of duties.
Will not the list- of up-to-date farm
Implements make It possible to do sc
much more work In a day, that the
hours for labor may he shortened and
the farmer then stand a better chancs
to compete with the factories In hir
ing competent hands?
Wo throw this out as a suggestion,
Which our farmers may think upon
and accept or reject, as In (their Judg
ment seems best.
GA. DEPT OF AOTOCULTURB.
Partial Statement About the Staten
Finances.
Believing that It will Interest evory
jlass cf our people, we glvo the follow
ing extract from the lost message c*
Oovcrnor Terrell:
"The state treasury haa paid to the
common school teachers all the money
coming Into the treasury which be
longs to the school fund, and also the
$400,000 which he Is authorized by
law to transfer Irom the general to
the school fund. These payments are
not only larger, hut were male much
earlier In the year than formerly, anti
without borrowing any money for that
purpose. in former years loans
amounting to $150,000 to $200,000
have been necessary to enable the
treasurer to make these payment*).
To be able to carry oui the provisions
of our school lav/s without borrowing
any money whatever la most gratify
ing, as It shows that the condition of
the state’s finances has considerably
improved. Indeed, It would not have
been necessary to borrow any money
whatever during the present year had
the general assembly convened In Oc
tober Instead of June. After con
ferring witli the state treasurer it waa
ascertained that the sum of $05,000
would be needed to pay the expenses
ol this session of your body, and with
bis assistance I have arranged to bor
row that sum for five months at two
per cent per annum, or five-sixths of
one per cent for the term, from the
following banks in this State, viz:
Southern bank at Savannah; Neal
Loan and Banking Company and
Fourth National bank, Atlanta; Ex
change bank, Macon, and Third Na
tional bank, Columbus. This loan, at
•uch a remarkably low rate, demon
strates alike the high credit of the
state and the excellent condition ot
the Georgia banks.
"J. M. TERRELL,
“Governor."
