Every Farmer Should Sow Oats
We urge everybody to sow oats this fall, as all
kinds of feedstuff will be high next spring and
summer. We have the genuine home-raised Appier
Oats for sale.
Flour
We have cheap flour, but would not recommend
our friends to buy these grades. If you want a flour
that will make good biscuits, that will keep your wife
in a good humor and your digestion in good condition,
we advise you to get a barrel of our famous DESOTO
FLOUR. Do this and your bread problem will set
tle itself. This flour is made of the finest soft winter
wheat, and every sack is guaranteed.
Overalls
We sell the “Headlight”—the best overalls made.
“Star Brand” Shoes Are Better
These shoes are all leather, and we have them in
•all sizes—for men, women and children. Try us on
your winter bill for shoes this time and you will not
regret it.
Feedstuffs
We carry only the best hay and ground feeds.
Our “Old Beck” mixed feed is the best balanced ra
tion for stock that you'can get. We also sell “Como”
hen feed, bran and shoits.
Just received, a car-load of the saltiest salt-*-the
kind that will save your meat.
Our big stove is now in operation. Drop in and
make yourself at home. Everybody welcome at this
store, at all times.

Turning Plows

’Phone 342.
’Phone 58.
We are carrying a larger line of middle-breakers
than ever before—not because there are more middles
to break, but because there are more people who
want to plow them the best and cheapest way.
This means ECONOMY, and more returns for la
bor. It also means that the plowing will be deeper
and more uniform.
We claim that our No. 18 plow will do more work
in less time, with less draft, than any plow made.
We carry in stock any kind of turner, in one and two-horse.
When you go to buy a turner, buy the one best suited for your
kind of land. The CHATTANOOGA PLOWS are better than
any other, and every one we sell is guaranteed to turn your
land. We do not have to order the parts for you; we have them
ready in stock; therefore, if you are in the market for any kind
of plow, we ask that you look at the Chattanooga Plows.
THE CLOSED DOOR.
Love knocked. Youth heerd and Ultened, but
Woe busy with his gold that day;—
. She knocked again, the door was shut.
Then sadly turned away.
Love knocked once more In after years.
But Fame was calllntr up the height;
With broken heart she left in tears,
For it was almost night.
Time bore the Youth to green old age;
She gavo him wealth and fame and more,
But somehow life was like a cage.
For love had closed the door.
—[H. E. Harman.

Fiftieth Anniversary of Gen.
Morgan’s Escape.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 27.—Some of
the old-time residents of Columbus re
called the fact that yesterday waB the
fiftieth anniversary of one of the most
stirring Civil War incidents that oc
curred in this city—the sensational es
cape of Gen. John H. Morgan from the
Ohio State penitentiary. After raiding
large section of Kentucky, Gen. Mor
gan at the head of his daring little band
of cavalrymen had crossed the Ohio
river and penetrated the State as far as
Steubenville, the most northerly point to
which the flag of the Confederacy waB
carried during the war. The advance
of Morgan’s men created great alarm
throughout Ohio and it was with a feel
ing of relief that the people learned of
the capture of the daring leader and
his lodgment behind the bars of the
State prison. Equally great was the
sensation caused by his escape. The
method by which he obtained his free
dom has always remained a deep mys
tery. Many persons believed that he
and his companions had fled through a
secret tunnel from the prison to the
Seotio river. But when a large part of
the prison was torn down and rebuilt a
year or two ago no evidence of such a
tunnel waB found. The cell in which
Morgan was confined was left intact for
half a century and wbb marked by a
tablet inscribed with the date of the
escape. The generally accepted belief
ia that the Confederate leader received
aid from sympathizers inside the prison,
whose assistance made hiB escape an
easy matter.

beauty of your hair depends upon its

What Georgia Should Produce.
In view of the fact that Georgians
are having so much to say regarding
the numerous products which can be
raised in this State, and the further fact
that we have recently celebrated “Geor
gia Products Day,” it might be well to
call attention to the fact that hundreds
of farmers are buying—
Salt pork from KansaB City.
Canned goods from Maryland.'
Feedstuffs from the Middle West.
Butter from New York and Illinois.
Chickens and egga from Tennessee.
Horses and mules from Missouri.
Syrup from Louisiana.
Cattle and swine from out of the
State.
And this in spite of the fact that they
could raise their own swine and cattle,
Balt their own pork, can their own fruits
and vegetables, have their own milk
and butter, raise plenty of chickens
and get an abundance of freBh eggs,
grow sorghum and boil their own Byrup,
and plant alfalfa and winter crops and
have a silo.
And some few Georgians actually
buy their corn from the West!
There is need for an awakening among
the farmers, truckers and cattle-raisers
of Georgia.
John Wacaster, postmaster at Mur-
rayville, Ga., says: "I suffer with a
terrible cough whenever I take the
least cold, and my bronchial tube be
comes affected. I never use anything
but Foley’B Honey and Tar, as I have
found from experience that it is the
best and surest cough medicine I ever
used.” J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Make Home Attractive.
You can make home happy by bits of
kindness and little courtesies. In this
day of cheap literature the very beat
of reading matter is within reach of
every family. The current magazines
and the best of agricultural paperB may
be had at a trifling cost, and these
should be found in every home. A
comfortable sitting room, made warm
and light, should invite the children to
spend their evenings by the fireside.
Unless these things are furnished at
home it iB only natural that the young
people should seek them elsewhere, and
after an' evening spent out amid life
and gayety the boys and girls often re
turn to their cold and uninviting home.
We believe many a boy has formed his
first resolve to quit the farm when
crawling into a cold bed in a cold, clammy
bed-room after he haa spent an evening
at a party or Borne scene of festivity in
the city or village. Give the children
plenty of home comforts and make the
farm fireBide the brightest and the
most interesting place on earth and the
young people will learn to love the
farm and not seek the ephemeral joys
of life In a town.
California Woman Seriously Alarmed
‘A short time ago 1 contracted a se
vere cold which settled on my lungs
and caused me a great deal of annoy
ance. I would have bad coughing
spells and my lungs were so sore and
inflamed I began to be seriously alarm
ed. A friend recommended Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy, saying she had
used it for years. I bought a hottle
and it relieved my cough tne first night,
and in a week I was rid of the cold and
Boreness of my lungs,” writes Miss
Marie Gerber, Sawtelle, Cal. For sale

There’s no monotony in the life of a
woman who marries a man to reform
him.
Cured of Liver Complaint.
“I was suffering with liver com
plaint,” Bays Iva Smith of Point Blank,
Texas, “and decided to try a 26c. box
of Chamberlain’s Tablets, and am hap
py to say that I am completely cured
and can recommend them to every
one.” For sale by all dealers.
An Essay on Health.
Man drinks whiskey, and that elogs
the valves. He drinks beer, and that
clogs the wheels. He drinks lemonade,
ginger ale, buttermilk, ice tea, coffee,
etc., then wonders why the boilers do
not burn.
If you should take an ox and put him
through any like performance he would
be dead in a month. The simplest and
plainest laws of health are outraged
every day by the average man.
Did Adam smoke? Did Evh wear a
corset? Did Solomon chew tobacco?
Did Ruth chew gum? Did the children
of Israel make for a beer garden after
crossing the Red Sea? Did Rebecca eat
chocolate bonbons and ice cream and
call for soda water?
Adam was the first man, Bnd was
made perfect from head to heel. How
long would ho have remained ao after
eating pie before going to bed? Suppose
he had slept in a bed-room 6 by 7, with
the windows down, the doors shut, and
two dogs under the bed?
Suppose Eve had been laced up in a
corset, worn tight shoes, hobble fig
leaves, and sat up all hours of nights
eating chicken salad and Welsh rare
bit and trying to keep on four pounds
of dead peoples' hair?
E. J. Hudson, Cross Keys, Ga., used
Foley’s Cathartic Tablets without the
slightest inconvenience or sickness, and
Bays; “I have UBed many liver pills and
tried many cathartics, but believe Fo
ley’B CathBrtic Tablets are the best on
earth. They are a perfect cathartic,
and always satisfy beyond expecta
tion.” J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Mrs. Evans was making a call on
Mrs. Frances, and they were enjoying
a chat about some of their neighbors.
"Mrs. Green,” said the hostess, “is
a woman who suffers much for her be
lief.”
"Indeed,” replied the caller won-
deringly; “and what is her belief?”
. "Why,” continued the hostess, “she
believes she can wear a No. 3 shoe on
a No. 6 foot.”
