“Nothing succeeds like success,” is an old adage that is very
true, The Hank of Dallas, from the days of its opening in 1899 to
the present time, has gone on, without interruption, in all of its
business affairs ; but never before has it been so well prepared to
meet the demands and satisfy the needs of its customers. If your
patronage and influence have, in any degree, contributed to the
success of our business, \ve thank you for it. If, as yet, you arc
not a customer let this be your invitation to become one. We will
endeavor to make it both agreeable and profitable for you to do
business with our >amk. A word to those who may keep money
nroqnd their ho-.nes : Never should your homo bo made the hid
ing place for money, because every time you do it you run the risk
of losing't, and worse than that, you endanger your life, which is
worth more to vou than much fine gold. Deposit your money in
the Hank of Dallas. Your neighbor keeps liis monev with us, why
not you ? We know our capacity. We do not accept any business
that we cannot carry out.

Oata.
As for Wheat, so also for oats the
aoll should be plowed to a medium
depth and then well pulverized, for a
good seed bed is necessary In order to
produce the best results with even so
hardy a grain as oats. It is better
that the soil should be dry and mel
low when they are sown.
In a moist season oats will do very
well on a sandy soil, but the best
yields, as a general rule, are made
on a fine clay loam, with good drain
age.
When the seed bed haa been well
prepared and leveled, the oats may be
sown broadcast, or put In with a drill.
The latter method Is probably better,
since when they are drilled in they
are in a sort of trough, andi when a
freeze comes, the earth is noi drawn
away from the roots, as the ground
rises with the freeze and settles with
the thaws, but is thrown around them.
This prevents the crop from being in
jured by a freeze.
The winter oat is generally sown In
October at the rate of about two bush
els to the acre. They afford good
winter and spring pasture. When the
stock have ben taken off this pasture,
an ample crop of grain will be ready
for reaping In June; hut never allow
stock to graze upon your grain dur
ing wet or damp weather.
This crop, with comparatively little
expense , aids greatly in making a
farm self-sustaining. Our farmers will
do well to plant largely of oats.
GA. DEP’T OF AGRICULTURE.
Improve Your Farm.
Every good farmer should try to Im
prove his soil each year. Unless you
adid as much plant food as the crop
takes from the soil, every year your
farm gets poorer and your chances for
profit grow less and less. While on
the other hand, if you will increase
the fertility of the land year by year,
you increase your profits continually.
Hence rotate your crops. Sow cow
peas aften grain. Turn them under in
the fall. Use barn lot manure and
compost made on the farm. If you
■till need more plant food, buy a high
grade commercial fertilizer and judi
ciously feed all your crop plants, with
a liberal hand, Just as you feed your
live stock.
Feed to cattle cotton seed meal and
hulls and fatten same for market.
They will pay you a profit and their
voldings will enrich your rarm.—Geor
gia Agricultural Department.
Turnips.
Turnips will grow on almost any
kind of soil, from sand to heavy clay
and muck. The common English tur
nip does best on a light, sandy oi
gravelly loam, well manured at the
time of planting. Rutabagas thrive
best on a heavy soil, made rich by
fertilizing. Fresh stable manure
should never be used for them, be
cause it gives them a strong flavor,
which unfits them for table use.
Commercial fertilizers are better foi
this crop than farm manure, both be
cause the turnips are less liable tfl
be eaten by worms and the bulbc
grow smoother and more regular in
form.
Of course, as with every other crop
the first requisite is a god seed-bed.
If the seed is put in by drilling
the rows should be from sixteen to
eighteen inches apart.
When the plants have grown suffi
ciently for the rough leaf to be de
veloped, they should be thinnedi out
to six or eight Inches apart.
After the final thinning the plants
should be from eight to ten inches
apart.
The weeds should be kept down
with a cultivator or horse-hoe and
the soil stirred In this manner sev
eral times. This cultivation should
be completed before the leaves have
become very large. In order to pre
vent the attacks of the turnip fly, it
is well to sprinkle the plants in fhe
ea-rly morping, before the 'dew is dry,
with a little lime dust.
The rutabaga requires a richer soil
and more fertilizing than the common
white turnip.
What we have said under the head
of storing sweet potatoes is true ol
turnips also, with the additional sug
gestion that the tops should -be
trimmed aa close as possible to the
turnip without cutting the turnip It
self.

A Good Example.
So you don’t lik« your job!
Yoi are bossed and criticised.
You do things wrong anfl some
body finds fault. And the hours
are long and Mae nay small. You
know a fellow younger than you
are who draws twice the money
and lias a soft snap. You got the
short of everything. You are
blue and skulk. Perhaps you sol
dier a bit at times, and you won
der whv somebody doesn’t pro
mote you and tell you you are
worth more money. Life seems
like a stream of indigo—to you.
Lots of young fellows reason
that way. They make themselves
miserable. They spoil their lives
and they decrease their efficien
cy. They have health, homes,
good friend", and they refuse to
make the best of things.
Read about Tony Springle-
meier.
He has no iegs, to speak of. A
freight train trimmed him for
keeps thirteen vears ago and
made him a cripple. He has so
much pluck and so much human
sunshine in his breast that he re
fuses to be blue.
He works—bless you, how he
works—at anything that is honor
able. The other day, with pick
and shovel, lie was helping tear
down an okl building, doing a
whole man’s work and drawing
a whole man’s pay.
“I ask no odds of any of ’em,”
he said, as he buried hii pick in
a mass of brick. “I’ve a pair of
cork legs, but I prefer to work as
l am.”
He laughed, It was the hear
ty laugh of a brave, light-heart
ed, strong man.
He found time to court a young
woman and win her, to rear chil
dren and make proud of him.
Yes, sir, there is a happy family
over in Covington that belongs to
Tony Springelmeier, the tailor.
When you see a man in that
condition refusing to be gloomy,
getting along in spite of his hand
icap, and carrying a whole heart
in a crippled body, doesn’t it
make you feel like cutting out
your sulks, stopping kicking and
making the best of the sound
body and the opportunities that
are yours?—Cincinnati Post.

It is said that President. Roose
velt is busy on his message to t he
extra session of congress. There
is nothing in that, session, how
ever, to necessitate a message
which will require much prepa
ration. Ordinarily, the messages
which go to special sessions of
congress are very much shorter
than are those to the regular as
semblages of that, body. This is
not a session in which the coun
try lias a profound interest.. It
differs very widely in this re
spect, from the one called by Lin
coln in 1861, and likewise from
that, summoned by Cleveland in
1898. Lincoln had a good many
things to tkink of and to say at
that time. Cleveland was both
ered considerably, too, by the
panic which incited the assem
blage of congress in the summer
of ten years ago. In the United
States at the present time every
thing is serene, so far as regards
the need of congressional action.
All that, the session of Novem
ber will be called on to deal witl
is Cuban reciprocity. It is safe
to say that President Roosevelt
could, in an hour’s time, prepare
: a message which would be ade-
! quate for Hie coming occasion.—
