ICE CREA1 FROZEN WITH
HAILOniDAY LAST
It doesn’t.seem'reasonable, but
it is a fact that there was plenty
of hail on the Faircloth planta
tion as late Tuesday morning,and
on Sunday the people gathered
enough to freeze ice cream.
The hail fell on Thursday
afternoon of last week, and that
there was enough of it to last
for five days, with the mercury
ranging around the 100 mark, in
dicates that no such hail as this,
has ever been heard of before.
Several watermelons from the
hail-scared area, may be seen at
this office. They will tell more
convincingly than words, of the
size and power of those hail
stones. Farmers are ploughing
their storm-struck, hail-riven
crops, but with little hope of
making anything,

Cotton Off, But Corn
Ahead of Last Year
According to the crop report

of agriculture, which;was given
out Saturday by Coinmissioner
J. J. Conner, while the prospect
for a cotton crop is only 83 per
cent as good as at the corres
ponding period last * year, corn
and other cereals show great im
provement.
Letters to the department in
dicate that the acreage in corn
and other food crops is consider

PILE EXIT
This is another of the Penslar
Remedies—an ointment for both
internal and external piles.
It relieves the pain and itching
almost immediately, while the
astringent and antiseptic proper
ties promote healing and absorp
tion of the tumors.
The collapsible tube in which
this remedy is put up makes it.
especially easy to use—there is a
nozzle for the tube, to assist in
applying the ointment to the in
ter parts.
PILE EXIT
contains no opiates but is com
pounded of Tannic Acid, Carbolic
Acid, Oil of Tar and Extract of
Stramonium in the correct pro
portions.
It is the nearest to a univer
sally satisfactory pile remedy
that we have ever sold. It has
to be good or it could not be a
Penslar Remedy. Price 50 cents.
Grady Pharmacy
Several crops in Grady county,
in the vicinity of Calvary, were
utterly destroyed by hail on
Thursday evening of last week.
At Mr. Tom Faircloth’s the
greatest damage was wrought.
The glass windows in the house
were knocked out, chickens in
the yard were killed, corn, cot
ton and tobacco were simply beat
to pieces.
Mr. J. S. Strickland, a neigh
bor of Mr. Faircloth, lost his barn,
which was blown down by the
wind, and one cow was killed.
His 4 acres of fine tobacco was
utterly'destroyed.
Much timber was blown down.
The damage was fearful,
though the hail and wind did not
extend over a wide area.
A $15,000 Crop.
Mr. Joe Hidgon at Calvary,
the champion tobacco grower of
Grady county, is getting his to
bacco into barns for the last ten
days. .
The Progress man. who saw
the sights during the tobacco
craze at Quincy, Fla., several
years ago, and who thinks he
knows what good' tobacco is when
he sees it, pronounces that of Mr.
Hidgon’s as good as any that he
saw in Gadsden county.
Mr. Hidgon should get right
around $15,000’ for his 1913 crop
of tobacco.
But this is not all. He will
make 2,500 bushels of corn; he
has 30 acres in cane, and lias al
ready sold $1,000 worth of collard
seed of his own raising. He has
no cotton. He s a ys there is noth
ing in cotton for him.
Mr. H. W. Maxwell, probably
the most successful tobacco grow
er in the county, is looking after
Mr. Hidgon’s crop; Capt. Max
well was with the big growers at
Amsterdam and knows every
thing there is to know about the
growing and curing.
Mr. E. A. Maxwell, another
prominent citizen of Calvary, is
also some tobacco grower. He
has some very fine,, both shade
and sun tobacco.
The corn club boys of Grady
may look out for little Glenn
Maxwell of Calyary. We have
been through his club acre. He’s
going to rub 100 bushels mighty
close.

“Uncle” Miles is one of Grady
county’s most enterprising farm-
mers, also ginnei- and mill man
He and Brother B. don’t have to
see a thing to know that it is
good.
Mr. Whitfield is more or less
interested in Florida—fish, es
pecially; and if he knew how we
do it here Georgia couldn’t hold
him.
For instance; should we tell of
the party of three from Quincy
who recently chartered a boat
for a day’s fishing for 815.00 and
caught some snappers. Well,
they shipped home 100 pounds
and sold $28.00 worth to a fish
house here. Our fish dealeis
bujAeverything a fellow doesn’t
care to take home, except tad
poles and whales. The demand
is so great they cannot supply it,
though they sometimes ship car
loads a day.—Carfabeile Citizen.
