A Farmer Straightened Out.
“A man living on a farm near
here came in a short time ago com
pletely doubled up with rheuma
tism. I handed him a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and told
him to use it freely and if not sat
isfied after using it he need not
pay a cent for it,” says C. P. Ray
der, of Pattens Mills, N. Y. “A
few days later he walked into the
store as straight as a string and
handed me a dollar saying, ‘give
me another bottle of Chamberlaiu’s
Pain Balm. I want it in the house
all the time for it cured me.’ ”
For sale by L. C. Strong.

Just a Small Engine.
Are you aware of the fact that a
small engine installed on your
plantation will save you the hire
of one man and do the work of
two horses? What we have refer
ence to is a small engine ( 1,2, or
horse-power) which can be so
arranged that it can be easily car
ried about the plantation, worked
in the field at the cane-mill, small
grist-mill, shredder, feed chopper,
or for sawing wood in the new
ground ; then it can be placed un
der the shed at the house for saw
ing wood, pumping water, churn
ing, or anything of the kind. Such
an engine will cost something less
than $l5O, and the cost of opera
tion will not exceed two cents an
hour. There is no expense while
running. It is absolutely safe.
Requires no engineer—a fifteen
year-old boy can start it, and after
being started you don’t have to
look at it again until you wish to
stop it. It can be started in five
seconds in summer or winter. No
fire to be kept up ; no smoke ; no
steam boiler to be constantly
watched. If you are interested,
look up John Underwood’s adver
tisement in this paper and call on
him.
Leave your laundry at Will
Bryant’s barber shop, Lee Strick
land’s or Dr. Standifer’s office if
you wish it to go to Dothan.

The New Hope Sunday school
was well represented at the union
sing Sunday. They carried off the
banner that was given to the sing

Some of the farmers are planting
their cotton over, but they are do
ing it with cheerfulness. The hope
of getting ten cents for their cot
ton next fall, causes them to quick
en their steps and give the old
mule an extra lick with the plow
line.
The New Hope school closed
Friday with a picnic. The day
was spent very pleasantly as all
seemed to have had a nice time.
We want to thank the band for the
splendid music they made for us.
The teacher appreciates the inter
est that the patrons have taken in
the school. His memory will ever
love to well on the happy days
spent her^.
