THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2!, 1902. The Best of All Good things are good so far as they do good. This axiom applies with force to the plain goodness of Uneeda Biscuit. They're good because they taste good and do good. Uneeda Biscuit are good for the grown man as well as the boy—as good for the baby as the mother. Are not only good, but keep good. You can always depend on them. That’s against your biscuit experience—and yon can’t understand it until you examine the In-er-seal Package in which they are always sold. MOTLEY SWIPED MANY WHEELS.

This haB been duo to favorable weather, which permitted the top crop to mature and has thus added consid erably to the general output of bales. But this top crop is now about ex hausted. Yesterday’s rain will put an ond to picking for some time, while the chance is favorable for the bolls not yet ma tured to be oaught by a freeze. But the farmers have gathered mnoh more cotton than they txpeoted, and upon the whole are satisfied with the crop yield. And Americas is 5,000 bales ahead of receipts at this date last year.
