I couraging competitive buying,
from representiye from many sec

Farmers had better mind how
they tackle cotton this year.
There may be a bottom price fix
ing one of these days, and rio
man on earth can tell what the
price of cotton will be when it is
sold without fixing the price.
Plant plenty to eat both for man
and beast and some to spare, and
then the price of cotton will not
hurt you. Besides, if you don’t
make your own food stuffs, our
opinion is, you will not find it for
sale next year and don’t you know
that what you buy is not half as
good as that you make at home.
We have been requested to an
nounce that Rev. W. B. Possey will

Third Division S. S. Convention
The Third Division of the Tay
lor County Sunday School Asso
ciation met with Antioch Baptist
Church Sunday, April 21.
The program was carried out
and every subject was ably dis
cussed. We were pleased to see
all of the speakers present except
three; two were absent on account
of sickness and the other for
reasons unknown. These were
substituted by very able speakers.
And, if one should speak for all,
it was one of the most pleasant
days we have had in the nature
of a division meeting. Each
school was represented by a large
attendance and we hope impres
sions were made in the mind of
each attendant that will be of vital
importance to themselves and to
the different schools and localities
from which they came.
At the close of the program an
invitation was given to the con
vention to hold its next semi
annual meeting with Midway
Church. The invitation was ac
cepted.
Let each school start in with re
newed energy and determination
to make a better report at roll
call, and to do more good for the
Master’s cause through the Sun
day School.
Yours for more and better
Sunday Schools,
E. M. GAULTNEY,
Division President.

THESE BIG PIGS
i;ot
HOG-TONE
G. R. Ogden, of Shinnston, W. Va., says: “I have used
AVALON FARMS HOG-TONE 56 days and I think it is the ]
best medicine I ever used. I have two pigs 4 months and 3 days
old that weigh 360 pounds, one 6 pounds heavier than the other. I
They are 100 pounds heavier than my neighbor's 2 of the
same litter and feed.”
This is the experience of a
typical user of Hog-Tone.
There are hundreds and hun
dreds of letters on file at the
Avalon Farms Company’s
office from nearly every state
in the Union, all telling of big
improvement in hogs and
in hog profits through the
use of Hog-Tone, the scientifi
cally prepared Hog Condition
er, Fattener and Worm Re
mover. Hog-Tone is sold on
60 days’ Free

and tell us how many hogs
you have in your herd and we
will give you enough Hog-Tone
to treat all of them 60 days.
You don’t have to pay for it
unless you are absolutely satis
fied. The decision is left en
tirely to you.

YOUR daughter will never come to
this if you have no money in the
bank. If you were to investigate the
families who have accomplished daughters, you would
find that in practically every instance a bank account is
started for their education when they were children.
You envy such people, so will your children when they
grow up unless they have the same advantages. So think
how much a bank account will mean to them and start
one today.
