When you feel like giving up try a smile. Butts county has 266.16 miles of rural routes. How about cleaning up the court house square? There are 43,695 rural carriers in the United States. Mexico has also had her fall opening—another revolution. If you have a pet scheme for handling the cotton situation trot it out. Trade at home and keep your money in circulation among home people. Of all the schemes advanced to solve the cotton problem old hog and hominy is the best. A lot of people are looking to Washington for help instead of trying to help themselves. Uncle Sam is going to see that the banks help the farmer or give up the emergency currency. The best time to reduce your cotton acreage is this fall. Plant plenty of grain, wheat, oats, clo ver, etc. Virginia having joined the pro hibition ranks, it is now a case of the “Solid South” on the wa ter wagon. If every man would realize that it takes ninety-nine dollars to re establish a credit that was lost by a one dollar debt, all men would pay their bills more promptly. —J acques.

Most of these county movements have been before the people for years and they are familiar with the merits of the various claims.

Authorizing counties to abolish the office of county treasurer, when they so desire. Extending the terms of mem bers of the general assembly un til their successors are elected and qualified. THE HOME MERCHANT It is best for you to trade at home. The Andalusia, (Ala.) Star prints some unanswerable reasons why the home merchant is entitled to the money you spend, and for the benefit of readers of The Pro gress we reproduce them below: j He has credited you through the summer season and you ought to give him your cash. It helps vour town to trade at home and it helps you. It costs you less to tradt} at home, and you can buv every-, thing vou need here. When you go elsewhere shop ping you are taking money out of circulation at home, and you have to pay railroad fare and a big price for what you buy. When you need help for char itable institutions to whom do you go? To your home merchant. When you want help of any sort that is to be secured by pop ular contributions to whom do you go? To your home merchant. You do not dare apply to the big houses in other cities for help for any of these affairs. Does it not seem right and proper for you, when you want to make a purchase, to give your home merchant the preference? All things being considered, isn’t it his due that you give him an opportunity to supply your wants? You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman’s life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places. When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake in taking CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women.

Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.” Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers. Has Helped Thousands. “Peruna Cured Me MR.
