9- A Special Plow
For the Southern Planter
Syracuse Slat Moldboard
Chilled Plow
Here it a plow that is perfectly adapted to the
needs of the planter who has level-lying, sticky,
difficult shedding land.
Earth slips along easier over slats than over
solid surface—just as a narrow sleigh runner pos¬
sesses advantages over a wide runner.
When conditions are such that good cleaning
qualities can be obtained in no other way, these
new Syracuse slat moldboard plows are indispen¬ qualities
sable. They have excellent pulverizing
and are surprisingly light draft.
See this plow at our store.

Janie Montgomery, Two and a Half
TTesir Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs
J. W. Montgomery, Has Close Call
Janie Montgomery, the two and a
half year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Montgomery, swallowed
bichloride Wednesday) morning and
had a narrow escape from death. The
many friends of the little one and
members of the family wil lbe glad to
hear that she is now resting well and
the doctors think will recover in due
course of time.
The solution of £he / drug was
in a bottle on the top shelf of a war¬
drobe and Mrs. Montgomery had ho
idea it would be fouqd by any one.
The little girl, however, pulled the
box down with a string attached to it
and in that way got hold of the poi¬
son and drank part of it.
Several doctors were hastily sum¬
moned and after several hours work
the patient was relieved of her in¬
tense suffering and it is sincerely
hoped she will be all right ih a sfcort
while.
