When I began using it, I was flat on

TO THE YOUTH OF GEORGIA
In 1870 I married and went to the
home of my husband at Montezuma,
Ga. It was a village then of about
500 and very unpretentious. I found
no fruit growing there and it looked
very barren to me, for I had been ac
customed to seedling peaches, apples,
plums, cherries and melons at my
home. I am just comparing this
country with then and now. My hus
band was anxious to have me like
this country and indulged me in many
of my fancies.
My story now is of a little box of
seed. I said to him one day, “My
father and uncle make good summer
money on melons, hauling by wagon
load to Griffin, 5 and 10 miles. The
wagoners return and deposit the cash
every night. It seems to me this soil
would be better adapted to their
growth than the red hills of middle
Georgia.” I said no more, but pro
ceeded to act. I wrote to Berckman,
the seed man at Augusta, and in
quired if he had Rattlesnake water
melon seed and price of same. The
answer came $5.00 per lb. I sent a
$15.00 check and received a little
square box by express. My husband
brought it out and asked what is this?
“We’ll open and see,” was the reply.
Said he, “What are you going to do
with all these seed?” “Plant them.”
“For what? You’d glut Montezuma
with a one-horse wagon load.” I
weighed up 1 lb., counted the seed to
know how much land would be re
quired, 7 seed to a hill, and 8 acres,
But what are you going to do with
them? “I’ll tell you my idea. Get
a box car, put pine straw on the bot
tom, load the melons and I’ll put you
on the car and ship you and them to
Atlanta. I guess I’ll have to go in
partnership and plant them for you.”
A beautiful tract of level land was
selected and prepared for the seed
planting. They grew and ripened
and such a spectacle. The freight
car was ordered, loaded and started,
expectant eyes watching the outcome.
There goes the first car of
melons ever shipped. u—l 1
“Lee,” as he was familiarly called,
“what did you get for your melons
in Atlanta?” He showed the check,
$200.00. Next week another car
was shipped and so on. Boys, that
little $15.00 box of seed brought
SBOO.OO. Everything ate melons —
cows, horses, chickens and people.
The left overs were broken in a bar
rel, the pulp rising and seed sinking,
the water poured off and seed dried
on racks. I sold to three other ad
venturers for next season at $1.50
per lb., Messrs. Brown, Maxwell and
Easterlin.
The thing grew and spread. In the
fall of 1888 I moved to Barnesville
through the solicitation of Mr. Robert
Powell of sainted memory. That
year Mr. Veal planted 500 acres in
watermelons, 200 at Ochlocknee on
Florida border, 200 at Montezuma
and 100 at Barnesville. His same
friends agreed to join the company if
he would go to the markets and be
salesman. He selected Knoxville,
Tenn., as a good distributing and di
verting point and for 11 weeks he re
mained there and Mr. Easterlin load
ed and shipped from Ochlocknee.
Then the Montezuma melons were
ripe and he moved up, assisted by
Mr. Claxton, and Barnesville came on
with Mr. John Powell as assistant
manager. The next year Mr. Marsh
burn and Mr. Veal were associated
and built the spur track at the
Marshburn peach orchard. I left
Montezuma with the melon and peach
industry and came to Barnesville to
feed and administer to the bodily
wants of the Feltons, Patricks, Mc-
Kenzies, DeVaughns, Maxwells, Fore
hands and others, while Messrs.
Lambdin, Pound, Oliphant, Smith and
Holmes fed their minds. So, boys,
I’ve left the 1 box car of melons and
I want to get you all aboard another
train with several coaches and we’ll
call it the “P.” train. Farewell, Mr.
801 l Weevil. We are off on Pecan,
Peach, Pears, Plums, Peppers, Pump
kins, Pork Poultry, P. P. turkeys
trains. We’ll pray and prosper.
Georgia lands will lead us on to vic
tory.
I forgot to mention in connection
with the no fruit: Soon a salesman
from an Atlanta nursery named Babb
came along. He struck me first. I
bought SIOO.OO worth of peach trees.
He took the list to my husband, who
came home and said, “Sue, the peo
ple will call you crazy.” My reply
was if they’d eat more fruit, they
wouldn’t have to put the quinine bot
tle on their breakfast tables. So the
orchard was planted and when the
Early Tillotson ripened he came in
eating one, juice streaming over his
hands, and said, “This peach is worth
SIO.OO. You will soon get your
money back.” Those people have
filled their coffers from the invest
ment.

Springfield Mo.—"My back was so
weak I could hardly stand up, and I
would have bearing-down pains and
was not well at any time," says Mrs.
D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known
farmer on Route 6, this place. “I
kept getting headaches and having to
go to bed,” continues Mrs. Williams
describing the troubles from which
■he obtained relief throiigh the use of
Cardui. "My husband, having heard
of Cardui, proposed getting it for me.
“I saw after taking some Cardui
~. that I was improving. The result
was surprising. I felt like a different
person.
“Later I suffered from weakness
and weak back, and felt all run-down.
I did not rest well at night, I was so
nervous and cross. My husband said
he would get me some Cardui, which
he did. It strengthened me . . . My
doctor said I got along fine. I was In
good healthy condition. I cannot
say too much for it.”
Thousands of women have suffered
as Mrs. Williams describes, until they
found relief from the use of Cardui.
Bince It has helped so many, you
ihould not hesitate to try Cardui if
troubled with womanly aliments.

CALOME MAY TURN

SALIVATE AND START WORLD
OF TROUBLE.
Calomel is mercury,
It crashes into sour bile like dyna
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get a bot
tle of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a
few cents which is a harmless vege
table substitute for dangerous calo
mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straight
en you up better and quicker than
nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it lose* you a
day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. No salts necessary. Uive P
