TolWannmof (Mr M: Now that the crop of 191 I is made and almost gathered you, no doubt, are thinking and planning for another year. What about your equipment? A farmer can no more do good work without good tools than can a carpenter or mechanic and the most important factor in the farmer’s equipment is his stock. ' Have you been successful in the past or do you feel that your efforts have not been as fruitful as they should have been? You have worked hard from early morn till late at night; your very beft energies have been put into your work and yet, at the close of each vear you find that you have accumulated nothing. Have you thought over the matter fully; have you tried to arrive at the seat of the trouble? WHAT ABOUT YOUR STOCK? carel INPRR(v--w,.. , A good horse or mule on a farm is worth a half dozen plugs. It costs no more to feed a good one than a plug and the satisfaction you get from owning and working a real good animal is worth much. But what you are most interest ed in is-R ESU LTS and to get the best results you must be equipped with good stock. Now that is where we can help you. We are prepared, at all times, to fit you up with the very best horses and mules and at prices that are absolutely right. If you want a saddle or buggy horse, a combination horse, brood mare, a farm, lumber or turpentine mile yoi can get it hare and we will give you an honest trade. Be sure to see us when in the market and we will make it to your interest. Remember: We Sell or Swap for Cash or Credit. We have a little gift for you. Call atour office for same. J. D.

GEORGIA, Grady Couhty— Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has appeared before the Ordinary of said county for leaye to sell land belonging to Misses Maud and Maggie May Pickner, wards of said under signed, and said leave asked for support and maintenance of said wards. Said applicaton will be heard at the regular term of the Court of Ordinary for said county to be held on the first Monday in October, 1911. This September 4th, 1911. W. A, Powell, Guardian, for Misses Maud and Maggie May Pickner. Money is a good servant but a bad master. To avoid criticism say nothing evil about your neighbors. It's investing when you win and gambling when you lose. The man who uses brains to save his legs is not lasy—he is just wine. The man who has the most friends Is the one who asks the feweet favors. Nothing annoys some people more than being compelled to mind their own business. He is tbe real wise man who can keep from getting the big head when folks praise him for his good deeds. Jealousy and envy are like weeds— they grow, quickly and flourish on many soils but produce nothing that is not despised. Many a farmer'who despises "little things" has been tided over .bank- rutpcy by the savings from their wife’s chicken yards. How many of us try to quiet our conscience by laying * bouquet on the coffin ef a neighbor whom We have neglected all his Ufa. If we were always as ready to fqr- glve the faults of others as we are to overlook our own, the world would not be so awfully bad. Borne people always are worrying about the troubles which may coma, forgetting that there are enough troubles already here to keep us busy. It Is a mistake to give a man 18 hours in which to do a day’s work. He can accomplish just as much in the long run If you make the days reasonable. As farms become smaller and our methods more Intensive, It will, be necessary for us to secure higher prices for our meat. production and animal foods. Sheep are economical producers and can be handled profit ably under Intense conditions of farm ing.
