Nearly time for the extra ses sion, more talk and hot air. Butts county corn club boys know how to smash corn yield records. A good time to plan for a big ger and better Butts county fair for 1916.

The boll weevil may be a myth but bet some people will change their minds when the pest hits this section. About the meanest man in the community is the tight-wadded skinflint who will never help out in any public enterprise, and spends his lung power knocking his town, his county and his fel low man. There are plenty of knockers in this world who never know they areinjuringthemselves more than the other fellow until it is entirely too late. —Montezuma Georgian. Truer words were never pen ned. Nine times out of ten the knocker is a failure morally, so cially and financially. Editor Jones’ Jackson Pro gress-Argus was a twenty-two page paper this week. Recently the two weekly papers in Jack son were consolidated and the one paper is certainly a great credit to the little city, giving a great deal more news than did the two papers, and making a much better impression in every particular.—Griffin News. About a year ago—you will re member—there was a lot said about establishing markets for grain, hay, live stock, etc., and farmers were told to diversify. So they did. But where are the markets?

CONST PAIF.D for liver and bowels, bad breath, bad colds, sour Stomach Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold—always trace this to toroid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absor bed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liv er and carry out all the constipa ted waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10- cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet, breath right, complexion rosy and your liver and bowels regular for months. WOOD LAWN Mr. and Mrs. C.
