Decided Deterioration in the Past
Few Days. Black Root, Anthrac
nose and Drouth Get in Work.
A marked deterioation of the cot
tonu crop in Terrell county and
throughout this section has been
plainly evident the past few days.
Conservative reports indicate thht
the season's yield will be consider
ably less than that of last vear.
In some localities the damage by
black root and anthracnose is be
coming serious, and in some places
it is not believed that much more
than a half crop will be made.
Reports of distressing conditions
come from sections of Webster and
Stewart counties, where a drouth has
prevailed for several months. A
good rain has not fallen in that ter
ritory, it is said, since the first part
of May, and cotton and other crops
have literally been burned up.
It is very apparent that the yield
in this section will be smaller by
thousands of bales than it was in
1907

Excellent Health Advice.
Mrs. M. M. Davison of No. 379 Gif
ford avenue, San Jose, Cal., says:
“The worth of Electric Bitters as a
general family remedy, for headache,
biliousness and torpor of the liver
and bowels is so pronounced that I
am prompted to say a word in its
favor, for the benefit of those seek
ing relief from such afflictions. There
is more health for the digestive or
gans in a bottle of Electric Bitters
than in any other remedy I know of.”

NEW MOVEMENT WAS NECESSARY
We run across watches every day
which have been in the hands of in
experienced workmen, and while
they can usually be overhauled and
made to give satisfaction, or to an
swer, it is quite often we find them
in such condition as requires a new
movement. We have put in new
movements right often recently for
this cause, and to those who have
been unfortunate in this respect we
wish to advise that it isn't neces
sary to throw your watch away. A
new movement isn’'t as expensive as
a 8 new watch, Get that one out
which you think has been ruined
and bring it down for an estimate.
Just a Little Better.
We strive to do just a little better
by vou in all of our departments,
whether it be in repair work or our
sales department. Well enough isn't
good enough, if it isn’t the best.
““Just a little better’” is in mind

Don’'t get the idea that there are

ing they are ‘‘tinkers” as long as
they live.

CARNEGIE AND THE DEVIL
Satan Is Behind the Teachers' En
dowment Fund, Said Rev. Chester
in Sunday Morning Sermon.
Declaring that Andrew Carnegie's
gift for the support of retired
school teachers was prompted by
Satan, Rev. O. B. Chester con
demned in strong words at the Meth
odist church Sunday morning the
provision of the endowment which
excepts teachers in church schools.
Mr. Chester explained that he did
not mean to condemn Mr. Carnegie,
who, he said, was perhaps unaware
of just what incalculable harm had
been done in this connection. By
excluding teachers in church schools,
the minister said, the famous phi
lanthropist had struck squarely at
religion and the spreading of the
gospel.

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indi

so distressing that it interfered with
my business. I had many of the
symptoms of hay fever, and a doc
tor's prescription did not reach my
case, and I took several medicines
which seemed only to aggravate it.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly
cured me, My wife has since used
Foley's Honey and Tar with the same
success.”” Dawson Drug Co. and Peo
