Eagle Pass, Tex. 1 J I suffered one
week with bowel trouble and took
all kinds of medicine without get

Mr. C. Johnson, a merchant here,
advised me to take this remedy.
After taking one dose I felt great

the third dose I w r as entirely cured.
I thank you from the bottom of
my heart for putting this great

New Insect Found in the Cotton
Fields of the State.
An insect resembling the
Mexican boll weevil has made
its appearance in various parts
of the state, and judging from
the damage done in these local
ities, should rival the weevil's
destructive force.
The only difference between
this new pest and the weevil is
that the former seems to sting
the cotton boll, instilling into it
a certain poison. This poison
first dries up the boll, and
it begins to rot it, until finally
the boll crumbles to pieces.
Bolls effected by this
have been sent J. B.

No doubt we some times think

We have 65 missionaries in

52 day schools, with about 5030

are B4 Conference Societies, 2229
Adult Auxiliaries, 1187 Juveniles
and Golden Links, During the
last fiscal year there was collected
$182,143.37 about $19,000 more
than the proceeding year, which
was itsef the largest in the his
tory of the Board.
South Georgia is one of these
84 conferences, and while .we did
well last year, we have done even
better during the year just closed.
South Georgia has 304 Auxilia
ries, 6591 members.
We have raised $lh247.84, the
largest amount that has ever been
collected by one conference in one
year, in fact this is the banner
conference in Southern Methoj
dism.
South Georgia supported twelve
missionaries last year, and the
support of these mis-sonaries has
really been the secret of the good
mark done by the conference.
There is nothing that so stirs the
minds and hearts of our women
as the thought of having living
repreaentatives in foreign lands,
through whom we are reachiug
the heathens.
The call for more workers com
es from every field and the church
is praying for the Lord to claim
many of our young women as his
chosen vessels.
Is there not some young woman
who reads these lines who feels
that the Lord has need of her in

A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist Church
in Georgia, calculated to use over
one hundred gallons of the usua

their church.
They used only 32 gallons of the

with 24 gallons of linseed oil.
Actual cost of paint made was less
than $ 1.20 per gallon.
Saved over $80.00 in paint, anc
got a big donation besides.

The following little story
beautifully illustrates the value
of the use of priuters ink in
telling tht would be customers
what you have to sell them at a
bargain :
A woman in a neighboring cof
town bought a new fangled
fee pot from a peddler. In the
evening she showed it to her
husband, a hardware dealer who
told her that he kept the same
thing in his store for half the
price «she paid for it. ‘‘Well’
she said, “why don't you adver
tise? Nobody ever knows what
you have for sale.”
