For Over sixty Years. an old and Well Tried Remedy.— Mrs. Winslow' • Soothing Syrup has been usm for over sixty years by millions of mothers for theii children while teething, with perfect tuooess. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for Diarrhoea. Is pleaoant to the taite. Sold bi druggists In every part of the world. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Its value Is incalculable. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. vance! stvg? with first crop matur ing. The weevil and h< .1 worm are making appearances and doing tome damage, but will not be numerous enough to damage the first crop. We fear they will be in suficien' numbers bv the first of September to destroy all the later fruitage. Seme few places in Texas they have dene considerable dam age already, while fully one half the State seems to be free of the pests. Taking all in all, we teel certain Texas will make a good average crop, and if the ravages of the pests are stayed. Texas will make tbe largest crop she ever made. The corn crop is made and is abundant: full acreage and heavy yield. The . small grain crops were light, but good prices made up for the short ness of the crop. Very truly, Bentley-Bass Co.
