OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kidney
Sufferer in Jackson
A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stooping brings a sharp twinge in
the small of the back, that almost
takes the breath away. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—
relieve aching backs. Here’s Jackson
proof:
Mrs. J. R. Jinks, Pepperton Mills,
says: “I was troubled with terrible
pains in my back and I had head
aches and nervous spells. I was al
most down when dizzy spells came
on and it seemed the room was go
ing- around. My kidneys didn’t act
as they should and I was i n P re tty
bad shape when Doan’s Kidney Pills
were recommended to me. Doan’s
gave me splendid relit'f.”
Price GOc, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Jinks had. Foster-Milburn

MEMBERS OF JACKSON BAR
GUESTS AT CHITLING SUPPER
Mr. O. E. Smith Host to Number
Friends Saturday Night
Mr. 0. E. Smith proved himself
to be a prince of entertainers Sat
urday night when he had as his
guests the members of the Jackson
bar and a few other friends at a
chitling supper. Legal niceties were
tossed away and technicalities vnived
as the legal talent engaged in stre
nuous but pleasing combat with de
lectable delicacies served on that
occasion. Mr. Smith was given a
unanimous verdict as a host without
a fault, an entertainer with all the
graces and a friend in the time of
need. And there will be no appeal
from the verdict. It is written in
the records, and will go thundering
down the corridors of time.
Not only chitlings, those choice
viands over which poets rave, but
every delicacy known to the tem
perate climate was served on that
occasion. It was a dinner to tempt
and delight the appetite of an Epi
cure, and right hearty response was
made by the assembled guests. The
dinner was elegantly prepared,
faultlessly served and enjoyed to
the fullest degree by all those for
tunate enough to be present.

On the SEED
Depends the Crop
With the present price of cotton and the necessity of
an early crop you cannot afford to plant inferior seed.
CHEAP SEED IS NOT ECONOMY
You would not think of inbreeding cattle year after
year. Cotton is deserving just as much attention. You
cannot aflord to keep planting your old seed when it takes
only a few bushels of old seed to buy a bushel of an impro
ved variety.
A Few Points Claimed For
SALSBURY COTTON
Germinates Quicker.
Disease Resistant.
Medium Foliage.
Is Very Early.
Blooms Fast.
Sets Its Bolls Early.
It is Very Prolific. **
Has Medium Large Bolls.
Easy to Pick.
Makes a Staple 1 1-8 on Uplands.
Increases to full 11-8 to 1 3-16 in Delta.
Good Ginning Percentage.
Magnificent Duality of Lint.
Highest Spinning Value.
Why It Pays to Buy Delinted Seed
They require less moisture to germinate.
They are cleaner—No trash.
They are easier planted.
Less seed are required to the acre.
They germinate more uniformly.
They insure a more uniform stand.
You get 10 per cent more seed.
You Get More For Your Money
It takes 2,200 pounds of ordinary to make a ton
of Delinted Seed. We save you 200 pounds of lint and dust
and dirt, which you buy when getting undelinted seed. In
other words: We save you 10 per cent.
