Old Man Prosperity abroad in
the land!
O, for just a few bales of the
long staple.
Hurry along with your subscrip
tion while the hurrying is good.
High or low cotton, plenty of
food crops is always a mighty
fine thing.
Crowned heads are a world
nuisance—but oftentimes they are
handy in a card game.
Three pounds of long staple
will about pay for The Weekly
one whole year. Hurry !
Mary bought a little bond,
Ami stowed it in her stocking;
And the interest that investment drew
Was really something shocking
—Chicago Tribune
A German submarine sunk a
U. S. Transport and killed seventy
American soldiers one day last
week. Think seriously of your
duty to buy liberty bonds.
Georgia-Products Day has been
set for November 15. People will
be urged this year to cut out
meat as much as possible and see
what good tilings they can get
together in the way of fruits and
vegetables.
The tide is setting strongly
against Germany now, but the
Hohenzollern dynasty will never
yield till the people, who ought to
be their own masters, assert the
right to govern themselves, truly
observes an exchange.
That was a soft-hearted jury in
Talbot county that returned a ver
dict of guilty against a couple of
bank robbers, with a recommen
dation that they be punished mere
ly as misdemeanants. In accord
ance with this recommendation
they were sentenced to the State
Farm for one year. The evidence
showed that the robbers entered
a bank at a small town in Talbot
county and at the point of a pistol
held up the cashier, carried him to
the woods, and there gagged and
left him. Such a miscarriage of
justice is a reproach to our courts
and a menace to society, but a
great victory for the lawyers en
gaged for the defense. The
scoundrels should have been given
the limit of the law.—Newnan
Herald.
Young Arthur was wrestling
with a lesson in grammar.
“Father,” said he thoughtfully,
“what part of speech is woman ?”
“Woman, my boy, is no part of
speech ; she is all of it,” returned
the father.
“Seed Time and Harvest.”
“While the earth remaineth,
seed time and harvest, and cold
and heat and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease.”
Genesis, 8:22.
Doubtless it is humanly natural
for Ihe farmers of Georgia to feel
discouraged over the early crop
prospects every year, but it is un-
Scriptural and unncessary. In the
six thousand years that the earth
has been reyolving there has not
been one when Georgia did not
have “seed time and harvest, rain
and sunshine,” and this year is not
different from those which have
succeeded it down the vast vistas
of time.
Sometimes it may seem that the
reason of “seedtime” is rather
late, but it has never failed to ma
terialize. Farmers who live so
close to the heart of nature’s God,
more than all others, should have
implicit abiding faith in the prom
ises registered for the direction of
men.
In all probability the “seedtime”
was late this year for beneficial
reasons. It may have been that
the fanners were contemplating
the production of a twenty-million
bale crop, which might not have
commanded twenty-six cents a
pound, for direct interposition of
the Great Giver of everything
good is the only power that can
prevent over-production of cotton
by Georgia farmers, and the Cre
ator of the world has not lost His
wisdom.
Farmers need never worry over
crop prospects, for it is written
that “as long as the earth remain
eth there will oe seedtime and
harvest.” In past centuries this
promise has been fulfilled and it
will not be disregarded in the fu
ture. The forecast of the- yield
for Georgia in September was 1,
860,000 bales of cotton and large
quantities of corn and other agri
cultural products. The eye that
notes the sparrow’s fall will not
he blind to the welfare of the
world. Just do the best that you
can, Mr. Farmer, and leave the
results to Him. —Conyers Times.
Farmers Union Will Meet
In Macon Nov. 13-14.
The annual meeting of the Farm
ers’ Union of Georgia will be held
in Macon, November 13th and 14th.
Headquarters have been arranged
at the Lanier Hotel. President J.
H. Mills and Secretary A. J. Flem
ing will be there in advance of the
meeting date for arrangement of
any fi lal details not already pro
vided for.
Charles S. Barrett, President of
the National Organization, says
this meeting will be, by long odds,
the most important gathering since
the organization of the Farmers’
Union. Never before has the or
ganization in Georgia or any other
state been confronted with as
great responsibility or with as
wide possibilities of an unbounded
success as now. This nation, in
fact, practically the whole world,
is dependent upon the the farmer,
and the greater part of that de
pendence rests upon the success
of the southern farmer.
Boschees German Syrup.
Why use ordinary cough reme
dies, when Boschee’s German Syr
uo has been used so successfully
for fifty-one years in all parts of
the United States for coughs,
bronchitis, colds settled in the
throat, especially lung troubles.
It gives the patient a good night’s
rest, free from coughing, with ea
sy expectoration in the morning,
gives nature a chance to soothe
the inflamed parts, throw off the
disease, helping the patient to re
gain his health. 25 and 75 cent

Peanut Machines.
As an evidence of the substan
tial manner in which the farmers
of Terrell county and immediate
section have planned to be inde
pendent ot the boll weevil, peanut
growing has assumed considerable
proportions, and hundreds of
thousands of bushels are now
about ready to be harvested.
Dealers in farm machinery in
Dawson have already sold more
than a hundred implements for
gathering and picking peanuts and
bailing the hay.
It is only this year that real in
terest has been manifested in pea
nut growing as a cash crop for
the fall months, and it is one that
will bring good profits to the
farmers.
Thousands of acres have been
planted, as indicated by the large
sale of machinery for handling
them. There are indications that
next year more acres will be plant
ed in this section to take the place
to some extent of the cotton which
has been destroyed by the pestif
erous weevils.
Peanuts are now bringing from
4 to 4% cents a pound in the local
market. —Dawson News.
Prompt Action Averts the Trouble.
Sluggish bowels indirectly cause
much sickness. A constipated
csndition not only poisons the
blood stream, but quickly affects
the liver and other organs, caus

sour stomach, bloating, etc. Foley
Cathartic Tablets are mild in ac
tion, yet cleanse thoroughly, with
no nausea, and costive after ef
fects. They keep the bowels reg

they bring. The McDonough

V HULLS \
UNTLESS
Shows why these delinted hulls have greater forage value
than the old style hulls, why they allow better assimila
tion of food, why they go farther, why they take less
space for storage, why they are easy to handle, why they
mix well with other food, why cattle relish them, why
they cost much less than old style hulls and why thou
sands of feeders are enthusiastic about them. The mixed
feed formulas show how to combine Buckeye Hulls
properly with concentrates and other feeds.
Mr. W. B. Lifford, Troy, Ala.,
prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls. He says
that they are less trouble to feed, are better for the
digestive organs and seem to agree with the cows
better.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
vetting them down night and morning (or the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
