Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT LOWERY HERD NEARLY READY FOR MARKETING f - PLAINS, March 26 The cattle of T. M. Lowery are attracting considerable attention. His mammoth barn is lo cated about one mile from town, plainly in view from the S. A. L. rail road. Here are to be found 115 blood ed animals of three nreeds, Short horns, Hereford and Black Angus. The Smimals are in excellent condition, their weights averaging about nine hundred pounds each. Mr. Lowery brought the cattle from Tennessee as calves last August and has taken ex cellent care of them. On an average each animal has consumed daily about thirty pounds of feed —40 pounds of corn, 40 pounds meal and 10 pounds hulls, besides hay. It is estimated that the average cost of feeding has been about SSO per day. Mr. Lowery has a quantity of alfalfa hay in his barn, but states that he has not found it practical to use it to any great extent. He also uses some “Corn-O.” The cow barn is commodious and well equipped. On one side is a long concrete water trough 40 feet long, 4 feet Wide, 2 feet deep, water being sup plied from a deep well by a gasoline engine. Parallel with this trough run the two long feeding troughs. The building is divided into several pens and a lane leads from the barn to the pasture. The splendid appearance of the cattle is attracting many visitors. They will be dipped this week and will be sold within the next few days. $250 Paid for Gilt From Plains Herd PLAINS, March 26. —One of the biggest boosts for fine stock breeding which this section has ever experi enced was received a few days ago when Dr. Thad Wise, who operates a farm near this place, sold fir ship ment out of the county an. unbred Du roc gilt about a year old for $250. The purchase was made at pribate sale, the buyer, whose name was not nounced, picking the animal for its individual merits as well as pedigree. Dr. Wise is specializing on fine Du rocs on his farm and has a number of very high grade animals. He does not devote himself exclusively to fancy stock, however, his aim being to pro duce the best possible stock for mar keting and practical purposes. dontleta cold KEEP YOUAT HOME Dr. King’s New Discovery almost never fails to bring quick relief Small doses once in awhile and that Eiroat-tearing, lung-splitting cough toon quiets down.

Would it not be ! well for you to pay, say, a three ' months, or a six-months or a year’s subscription toward the building of the club for some lady who is helping The Times-Recorder put over this big circulation drive? She would get 30,- 000 regular votes for the payment of a year and it would count $6.00 on a club. The public spirited folks have been saving the coupons and many are paying their subscription and co operating in many ways with the la dies who are making the campaign more than a success and the patrons of the paper, almost to a reader, are sending in votes for some one. The vote standing in District One embracing those nominees who reside in Americus, and who are contending for the prizes and cash awards offered for the district—is published today. As will be noted, the vote is steadily climbing and there are many active ones who, no doubt, appreciate the vote that is given them. District Two will be published Friday and both districts will appear again next Sunday. The coupon in today’s paper declines to 400 votes and is good for votes until April 5. After that time the coupon will decline again and continually de crease in value, as the vote on sub scriptions declines. At the close of the campaign a very small vote will be issued on subscriptions and the coupon will not appear after Wednes day, April 16. The campaign will close on the evening of April 26, 1919. Save the coupons, pay subscriptions this week and do your bit to make The Times-Recorder the best paper published in Southwest Georgia.

J. Hutcherson, ! of Tomkinsville, Ky. “I was helpless for three months, unable to even feed myself. Doctors doctored me and I got up, but have had bad health ever since, ' with soreness and weakness across my 1 back and in my arms and legs. I final ly took Ziron, and it has done me more good than any medicine I have ' ever taken, and I intend to take more of It, for it Is the best medicine I ever used. I have found it just what it is recommended to be, and I am ready to tell other suffering people that Ziron helped me, and anxious to speak a word of praise for it," I Ziron acts on the blood and has been | found of great value in Rheumatism, Indigestion, Anemia and General Weakness. Ziron puts iron into the blood, and iron is needed by your sys tem to make you strong and healthy. Ask your druggist about the guaran tee on the first bottle.

Long before the advent of steam vessels, the master of a ship driven far out of her course by storms and adverse winds, found himself in a strange part of the ocean with his fresh water exhausted and his crew suffering in tensely from thirst. To his great relief, a sail was sighted and drew near, in response to signals of distress. “We are dying for water,” called the captain over the side. To his amazement, the newcomer replied, “Then dip it up!’ Investigation showed that the advice was correct. They were off the coast of South America at a point where the great flow of the Amazon river carries its fresh water many miles out into the ocean. There was plenty of good, fresh water all around, yet they were eag erly seeking a far-away port to get water. So it is with a few of our people in this section regarding articles they want. They overlook the abundance of meritorious things sold by home merchants right at their very doors, and send to distant points for things that are no better and cost no less. Some of these folks, of course, do not know that all they have to do is to “dip it up,’—do not understand that the very article they want is sold by home people, while others simply neglect to take advantage of the oppor tunity of patronizing home merchants. It is hardly to be believed that any one interested in the prosperity and welfare of the section in which he lives will DELIBERATELY refuse to buy the things sold by home people. Thereofre, Mr. Plain Citizen, when you go to make your next purchase, just “dip it up,”—ask the home merchant for what you want. Spend your money with the folks whose spending in turn helps to increase your own pros perity.
