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.

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.
