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? WgNEdtRDUl H. W.

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.

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 birds cluster together on the cliffs and coast, and their cries warn boatmen that they are near land.

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. i June 12, Sept. 24, 1903. 1903. Northern section.. .80 p. c. 66 p. c.

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." Subscribe for New Er.u
