FARMERS’
Supply Store
It was with many doubts and fears that we
all started in to make this crop. Both the mer
chant and farmer had to go strong on faith—faith
in each other. We have struggled up to this good
hour, and now see that we have been greatly
blessed. Hope, too, we can see better times ahead
for us all.
We have stocked our store with the things that
our customers need, and at the lowest prices cash
can command.
We are still headquarters for supplies for the
farm and home. We want to mention especially
the following articles you will need—
“Star Brand” Shoes Are Better.
See us on shoes for the entire family.
Work Shirts, Undershirts, Work Pants, etc.
Also, bagging and ties. Special prices to ginners.
Georgia Seed Rye, Barley, Wheat and Oats.
Flour, Flour, Flour!
“Desoto” is the best Flour for the money that
you can buy.
Old-fashioned Cuba Molasses.
Come to see us. You are always welcome.
Hitch your mules and horses in our wagon yard
and store vour bundles with us.

“Safe Farming” Always.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 1.—A pro
gramme of “safe farming” for the
South is outlined in a circular which
the U. S. Department of Agriculture has
sent to bankers, business men and far
mers in the cotton States. The history
of agriculture in the South has been
one of “lean” years and "fat” years.
Short crops and high prices have almost
invariably been followed by big crops
and low priees, and, in consequence, the
fnrmer has experienced much distress.
The increased attention which has re
cently been given to supporting the
people upon the land has already re
suited in much good; but there is some
danger, it is pointed out, that, with
the price of cotton rising, there will be
a tendency for farmers to return to the
old system of “gambling” on cotton.
If the people of the South produced
their own living it would steady the
whole system and keep the boat from
rocking. The safety measures reconi
mended are as follows—
1. Produce a home garden for every
family on the farm, the year round,
paying special attention to a plot of
Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to
supply the family with food of this
character. Where feasible, have
patch of sorghum or other cane to pro
duce syrup for the family.
2. Produce the corn necessary to
support all of the people on the farm
and the live stock, with absolute safe
ty-
3. Produce the necessary oats and
other small grain to supplement the
corn as food. Pay attention to winter
grazing.
4. Produce hay and forage from some
forage crop, sufficient to supply all of
the live stock on the farm. Use le
gumes, such as clover, cow peas, vel
vet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for
the production of hay, and to enrich
the soil with nitrogen and humus.
5 Produce the meat necessary to
supply the people —through increased
attention to poultry and hogs, especial
ly. Plan to increase gradually the num
berof cattle and other live stock, so as
to have a sufficient number to consume
the waste products of the farm and
make the waste lands productive.
6. After all of these things have
been amply provided for, produce cot
ton for the market.
A Tribute to Woman.
Robert G. Inpreraoll,
It takes a hundred men to make an
encampment, but one woman can make
a home. 1 not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created
but I reverence her as the redeeming
glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all
the virtues, the pledge of all perfected
qualities of heart and head. It is not
just or right to lay the sins of men at
the feet of woman. It is because wo
men are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater,
man’s desire is the foundation of his
love, but a woman’s desire is born
her love. The one thing in this world
that is constant—the one peak that
rises above all clouds—the one window
in which the light forever burns—the
one star that darkness cannot quench
is woman’s love. It rises to the great
est heights—it sinks to the lowest
depths. It forgives the most cruel in
juries. It is perennial of life, and
grows in every climate. Neither cold
ness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty
can exting -ish it. A woman’s love
the perfume of the heart. This is the
real love that subdues the earth; the
love that has wrought all miracles
art; that gives us music all the way
from the cradle song to the grand clos
I ig symphony that bears the soul away
on wings of fire. A love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than death.
Year Without a Summer.
New Philadelphia Advocate-Tribune.
If weather, like history, repeats it-
elf every 100 years, 1010 will be sum-
merless. The year of 1816 followed
the Napoleonic wars, which stirred all
Europe and ended in- the battle of
Waterloo in 1816, just as the decisive
war will probubly be fought in Belgium
this year. The year was without a
summer or growing season, and pro
phets predict next year will be like the
weather of 100 years ago. In 1816
January was so mild that fires were
used only for cooking. There were
few cool days, but none that were
wintry. February also was unusually
mild. March was windy, but nut cold.
New England farmers did most of their
plowing in this month. April brought
promise of an early spring, but as the
days grew snow storms came and ice
and snow covered the landscape. By
May time the temperature was like
midwinter. Buds were froSen off the
trees. Ice an inch thick formed on
lakes and ponds. Leaves dropped olf
the trees, leaving gaunt trunko that
looked lflco bleak December. Farmers,
after replanting their corn several
times, finally gave up in despair.
June was the coldest month of roses
ever experienced in this latitude Frost
and ice were as common as buttercups
and daisies should have been. In Ver
mont the snow fell to a depth of ten
inches, and the remainder of New Eng
land, Ohio and Pennsylvania were cov
ered and heavy wraps were worn. Far
mere worked in mittens. Women
knitted woolen socks. The climax
came June 17, 1816, when a blinding
Bnow fell so deep that entire flocks of
sheep .were marooned and perished.
July came in with frost and snow.
There was ice an inch thick on July 4.
August alHO was treated to an unsoason
able temperature. At Barnet, near
London, there was a snow storm on
Aug. 60. September, however, saw
this surprising year resume natural
weather conditions. That month, and
October and November, were much the
same as the ordinary autumn season
In December winter set in in approved
fashion, and 1817 found things back in
their normal condition. ;
The Good Old Days.
Temple? (Tex.) Mirror.
“What has become of the old-fash
ioned boy with cracked lips and heels,”
is a question that was propounded to
The Mirror man this week. In those
happy days of yore, when a fellow
could not whistle over half the time on
account of a popped-open under lip, and
when the cracks would got ho nad in
his heels that the chinches would crawl
in there for protection, only one remedy
was known in the universe that would
give relief. It was “mutton suet” and
a dash of camphor, and this was awfully
scarce, because the men in those days
used the “mutton suet” to make a
kind of hair oil which they put on their
locks to cause ’em to glisten before go
ing to a dance. Another reason that
cracked lips were more prevalent in
the days of our boyhood is that kissing
was more in vogue then, and kissing
will cause the lips to pop open. The
old-fashioned boy had never heard of a
germ; he wouldn’t have known a germ
from a wildcat had he met one in the
road, and he kissed for amusement.
There were no picture shows to take
the girl to and no automobiles to ride
in, consequently the demand waH much
greater than now. Besides, the oppor
tunity for kissing was better then.
Courting was done in the moonlight or
by a tallow-dip candle, and you could
put your candle in a breeze and it
would be blown out about every five
minutes, and while the girl was re
lighting it you could kiss her. Bright
lights now all along the way from home
to the meeting-house has cheated many
a young fellow out of a kiss, us has also
the headlights of automobiles bobbing
up at the wrong time.
Why They Don’t Go to Church.
Bob Burdette.
So you are not going to church this
morning, my son?
“The music is not good.’’
Ah, yes, 1 sue. That's a pity. Thut's
what you go to church for; to hear inu-
Bic, we suppose.
“And the pews uro not comfortable.”
That’s too bad. The Sabbath is a day
of rest, and we go to church for repose.
The less we do through the week, the
more rest we clamor for on the Sab
bath.
"Tho church is too far awuy; it is too
far to walk, and I have no way of rid
ing.”
This is indeed distressing. Some
times. when 1 think how much farther
away heaven is than the church and
that there are no conveyancos on the
road of any description, I wonder how
some of us are going to get there.
‘And tho sermon is too long al
ways.”
All these things are, indeed, to be re
gretted. 1 would regret them more sin
cerely, my boy, did 1 not know that
you will often squeeze into a stuffed
street car, with a hundred other men,
breathing an incense of whiskey, beer
and tobacco, hang to a strap by your
eyelids for two miles, and then pay 50
cents for the privilege of sitting on a
rough plank in the hot sun for two
hours longer, while in the interval of
the game u wheezy band will blow dis
cordant thunder out of a dozen misfit
horns right into your ears, and come
homo and talk the rest of the family
into aural paralysis about the “dandi
est game you over saw played out on
the home ground.”
Ah, my boy, you see what staying
away from church does. It develops
habit of lying. There isn’t one man in
a hundred who could go on the witness
stand and, under oath, give tho same
reasons for not going to church that he
gives his family every Sabbath morn
ing. My son, if you don’t think you
ought to go to church you would not
make any excuses for not going. No
man upologizeB for doing right.
The past is fixed. No tears can wash
away its facts. We should waste no
regrets upon it; but from the wisdom
its very Bins have taught us, we should
start afresh on the race.
Cured Boy of Croup.
Nothing frightens a mother more than
the loud, hoarse cough of croup. The
labored breathing, strangling, choking
and gasping for breath call for instant
action. Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire,
Wis.,says: “Foley’s Honey and Tar
cured my boy of a serious attack of
croup after other remedies had failed.
I recommend it to every one, as we
know from our own experience that it
is a wonderful remedy for coughs, colds,
croup and whooping cough.” It clears
air passages, soothes and heals. J. F.
Lee Drug Co.
Remember, when assailed by afflic
tion, that every cloud has a silver lin
ing, and, could wo but seo aright,
many apparent calamities are but
blessings in disguise. Hope is a better
companion than fear, and morning is
ever the daughter of night. Whatever
is, is right; presumption alone would
avert the hand of Providence. Give
us, oh, give us, the man who sings at
his work. Be his occupation what it
may, he is superior to those who follow
the same pursuit in silent sullenness.
He will do more in the same time, he
will do it better, he will persevere
longer. One is scarcely sensible of
fatigue while one marches to music.
The very stars are said to make har
mony as they revolve in their spheres.
Beware of Cheap Substitutes.
In these days of keen competition it
is important that the public should see
that they get Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and not take substitutes sold
for the sake of extra profit. Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy has stood the
test and been approved for more than
forty years. Obtainable everywhere.
How They Lost Their Homes,
Irish World.
Through the gambling instinct.
They lot their insurance run out.
They bought things they did not need
because they were cheap.
They did not use good judgment or
right proportion in their expenditures.
They subscribed for everything they
could pay for on the installment plan.
They did not realize how easy it is to
get into debt und how hard it is to get
out.
They tried to do what others expect
ed of them rather than what they could
afford.
They could not say “No,” and
could not tell their friends, "I cannot
afford it.”
They drew their money out of tho
savings bank to put it in some "wild
cat” scheme and lost it.
They did not do business in a busi
ness-like way, because they were deal
ing with relatives or friends.
They signed important paperB with
out reading them or knowing their con
tents, just because they wore asked to
do so.
The extravagance of children who
had not been trained to economize, or
to take care of the pennies, swamped
the home.
The mania to make an appearance be
yond their meanB caused them to mort
gage their property and end in bank
ruptcy.
When the shoe began to pinch they
“really did not seo where they could
retrench.” Habit had made luxuries
seem necessities.
They entertained too expensively and
a great deal more than they could af
ford, because they wanted people to
think they were in good circumstances.
Their efforts to force their daughters
into the society of those above them, in
the hope that they might make “bril
liant matches,” involved them .hope
lessly in debt.
Shots Near Slaton’s Home.
Atlanta Special to Mucon Telegraph.
Atlanta, Oct. III.—Fulton county po
lice, after an investigation as to the
source of shots hoard early to-day near
tho country home in the northern part
f Fulton county of former Gov. John
M. Slaton, said to-night there was no
reason to believe tho disturbance had
any connection with alleged threats
made to harm Slaton shortly after he
commuted the sentence of Leo M.
Frank from hanging to life imprison
ment. Shots were fired, the police
learned, hut they apparently were half
a mile away from the Slaton home, and
were attributed to a boisterous automo
bile party or to 'possum-hunters.
The former Governor, whose commu
tation of Frank’s sentence in Juno laBt,
just before his term of office onded,
was followed a short time later by
Frank being lynched, had been away
from Atlanta since then until about
three weuks ago. Frank had been con
victed of the murder of M iry Phagan,
and much bitter feeling was felt at Sla
ton’s commutation of the death sentence.
State militia guarded the Slaton home
for several weeks after Frank’s commu
tation. Shortly after that Mr. and Mrs.
Slaton visited Now York, and later the
Pacific coast. Since their roturn to At
lanta they have occupied their town
residence.
There hus been no open threat of vio
lence against Slaton since he returned,
so far as known. Several watchmen
have been kept on duty at tho country
residence, and their first knowledge of
shots in that vicinity last night came,
they said, from newspaper men who
dashed up the drivewuy to tho house,
their automobile horns sounding loudly
to announce their eoming.
“Don’t ever come tearing up this
driveway at night again, even if you do
make a noise,” said a watchman to one
of the newspaper men. “It’s a wonder
1 didn’t fill that car full of lead.”
Made Over Again.
Mrs. Jennie Miner, Davidson, Ind.
writes: “1 cun truthfully say Foley’s
Cathartic Tablets are tho best I ever
used. They are so mild in action. I feel
like 1 have been made over again.”
Good health has no greater enemy than
constipation. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets
keep the stomuch sweet, liver active,
bowels regular, and banishes bilious
ness, sick headache, sour stomach.
Stout persons welcome' tho light, free
feeling they give. J. F. Leo Drug Co.

DOUBLY PROVEN.
Newnan Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence-
Tins Newnan citizen testified long
ago.
Told of quick relief—of undoubted
benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete—the evi
dence conclusive.
It formB convincing proof of merit.
W. T. La'.enby, 64 Wesley St., New
nan, says; “The kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage and 1 suffered
from backache for several years. I
tried different remedies but they all
failed to correct the trouble. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured from the J. F.
Lee Drug Co., gave me immediate re
lief.”
The above statement was given Feb.
12, 1608, and on Feb. 26, 1915, Mr.
Lazeriby said: “I still use Doan’s
Kidney Pills once in a while and they
keep my back and kidneys in good con
dition. ”
Price 60c., at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Lazenhv had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Oftentimes the most discouraging
criticilm is received at home—the very
last place from which it should come.
As a flower loves the dew, and as it
turns its face to the sun, so tho soul
seeks appreciation and yearns for sym
pathy. No one can do his test work
unless there is some one who believes
in him. Encouragement is the best-
known tonic. It strengthens the soul
hh well as the body. Thon never be
afraid, oh, woman, of being too lavish
of praise of husband or children. If a
loved one does something well, do not
be afraid to say so; or, if you must
criticize, do it gently, lovingly, at the
same time showing him that you be
lieve he can do better.
