Mr. Cook made 385 bales of cot
ton this year, along with a good deal
of other stuff. He usually makes
around 400 bales, but he says that
planting cotton extensively under
weevil conditions is too risky for
him, so he plans to plant 500 acres
in corn and velvet beans, 125 acres
in oats, 25 acres in wheat, 25 acres
in peanuts and about 25 acres in oth
er crops next year in the place of
the large cotton acreage he formerly
planted.

A WORD FOR MOTHERS
‘Itlba grave mistake for mothers to neg

It is singular that, as a rule,
those firms which depend absolutely
on local patronage for support are
those whiefi are too often guilty of
the mail order habit, thus setting
an example that if followed by
their customers would leave them
with no business.
But they are the exceptions, not
the rule.
Saturday, a solicitor for a print
ing concern in some distant city
walked into a local furniture house.
“I want to show you some samples
of stationery,"/he told the buyer.
“It would be a waste of your
time," was the reply. “We can get
all the printing we need just across
the street."
“Yes," admitted the drummer,
“but (resorting to the old gag that

J. W. TomiUon Says He Had Given
Up AH Hope, But Takes Tan-
lac and !• Going Back
to Farming.
Farmers Subscribed
House Right Along.
Interest in the proposed Packing
House for Tifton is growing amongj
the farmers right along now, and
especially since the boll weevil meet
ings held Friday; the farmers fully
realizing that they must have mar
kets for other things than cotton and
“I was so sick and played out 1 j also that they should take active in-
had to give up my work on. the
farm and came to Birmingham three
weeks ago to spend the rest of my
days in the Confederate Veterans’
Home. I didn’t think I’d ever be
much good any longer, but when I
got here I got to taking Tanlac, and,*
sir, you may believe me or not, but
the medicine made me feel so much
better and stronger that I am get
ting ready to go back to my old
home and go to farming again.’*
The above remarkable statement
was made by J W. Tomilson, age
73, of Westover, Shelby county,
Ala. Mr. Tomilson is a well-
known Confederate veteran, having
served three years with Brigadier
General Wright. He has lived in
Shelby since the end of the war.
“I’ve been a farmer all my life,"
continued Mr. Tomilson, “and al
ways enjoyed good health up until
last summer, when a bad attack of
grippe and fever completely knocked
me out, and I haven’t * been well
since. My strength left me and my
health slipped away before I knew
it. I couldn’t eat or sleep to amount
to anything, was terribly nervous,
couldn’t take interest in anything
and finally got to where I had to
give up work on the farm. I took
all kinds of medicine, but nothing
helped me, and I was going down
hill all the time.
“A lady in Shelby county told me
that Tanlac had helped her wonder
fully, and I promised her when I left
home that I would try the medicine
when I got to Birmingham. I car
ried out my promise and am mighty
glad I did. I bought a bottle and it
helped me so much that when I fin
ished taking it I got another. I’ve
tq/ken three bottles in all and I tell
you, it’s wonderful what the medi
cine has done for me. I feel strong
er and better than I have felt in
years, eat nnd sleep a plenty, am
full of life and energy and it does
me good to know that in a few days
P11 be baek on the old farm at work
4gain.
“I know I’m getting up in years,
but I believe this Tanlac medicine
has put me on my feet and that I am
good for many years longer. From
what Tanlac had done for me I’m
satisfied it’s the best medicine in the
world.’
Tanlac is sold by Mills Drug Co.,
in Tifton; by Ty Ty Drug Co., in

terest in the packing house to as
sure the business people that they
want the institution and that they
will help support it after it is erect
ed.
A meeting was held Friday after
noon at the court house immediate
ly following the boll weevil meetings
and though many farmers had left
the city, there were quite n largo
number who remained over and
those who did expressed themselves
as being deeply interested in the
proposition, many of the men pres,
ent at the meeting subscribing for
stock to be paid for either in cash,
hogs or cattle.
Mr. W. W. Banks said in his
talk that while the farmers had been
giving their attention to raising cot
ton they must needs now make ar
rangements to grow other things to
take the place of the reduced acre
age that would have to be planted in
cotton because of the changed con
ditions, and that the business peo
ple were willing to help the farmers
market the other crops they might
want to raise. He stressed the point
that while the business people of
Tifton were putting up $100,000 in
cash toward a packing plant they
felt that the farmers should show
their desire for the plant nnd earn
estness toward the support of the
new plant after it was erected by
taking some of the stock, He be
lieved that if the farmers would take
stock they would have more desire
to support the plant. If they did not
show this willingness now, Mr.
Hanks said that he was of the belief
that the business people would ho
foolish to invest the money needed,
nnd said that he for one would not
invest into a plant that the farmers
did not take an active interest In.
Quite a number of farmers sub
scribed when the blanks were sent
out through the audience; a good
