S t IN MEMORY On or about May Ist, Uncle Jim Cooper was called to meet his God face lo face and live with him throughout eternity and well pre pared lie was for lie was 72 years of age and from boyhood on through life lie lived a model life. His broth ers may have erred in many ways but he hewed to the line. If his par ents wanted to know just exactly how things were they went to Uncle > Jim lor information. He was a man that loved God, a man that, loved and read his Bible, lie was glad when the time came to go to tho house of the Lord and he always had a testimony; he lived to please God and serve his fellowmen. It can well be said of him as it was of a certain Bible character, "He hath done what he could". He went about doing goixt. It wasn't the big things as the world counts in public life that made him gr eat but it was the little things that counted so much in his life. He went to the groves for secret prayer. Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man Is peace. He was at peace with God and lus fellowmen. Follow peace with alt men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Pears f leave with you. My Peace I give unto you. He knew what that meant to a believer. And now in conclusion let us in lmmlile submission to the will of God and sing Holy! Holy, Lord God Ahnightyl Sinners, friends please surrender and go with us. 1-Tom one. who loves your soul. MRS. A.

TO AILING WOMEN A LITTLE SOUND ADVICE WILL HELP MANY A SUFFEHEH IN LAFAYETTE No woman should consider herself healthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass oil in the secretions when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kidneys are disordered. If the kid neys and bladder become inflamed and swollen worsp troubles may quickly follow. This is often the cause of hearing down pains, lame ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning is also frequent cause of headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney pills, a remedy that has proven effective in thousands of such eases. Let a I.aFayete woman tell of her experienc. Mrs. J. P. Phipps, Oak St., LaFay tte, says: "I have used Doan’s Kid ney Pills at different times for many years and have always had wonder ful relief when my buck has been weak. It is a pleasure to say that Doan's Kidney Pills have never fail ed to help me.” Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—g Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Phipps had.

NOTICE TO FARMERS As a result of our efforts to se cure orders for a car load of syrup pails and fruit cans for the farm ers of the county we have only re ceived orders for one-third of a car, consequently I am not in a position to contract with the shippers at this time as I had planned. I am writing the shippers today asking that they give us one or two more weeks to work in securing this car load order. If you want to buy buckets at a 33 1-3% saving and are interested your neighbors buying them at the same price do not hesitate in the placing of your orders at once. I want the farmers to understand that I am not insisting that you make a special effort to raise money for the purchasing of syrup pails or any other material, because it •vill be of material benefit to me. As your Connty Agricultural Agent, I am doing all within my power to as sist you in saving money by means •if cooperative buying and selling. The success of this cooperative marketing depends upon the coop eration of the farmers. United we Stand and divided we fall. Which is cur motto? Farmers in all sections of the county are finding boll weevils on the young cotton plants, and a large number of these farmers are begin ning a systematic plan of destroy ing the weevils and punctured squares by hand picking. Just at this season the winter boll weevils are laying eggs in the cot ton squares. Very soon after these squares are punctured and the eggs layed they die and fall to the ground Your time will be well spent now by employing every farm hand in the work of picking these, adults wee vils and the fallen squares and burning them. If these eggs are al lowed to hatch out, the young wee mis begin puncturing squares very 'soon which makes the tight against ‘the weevil much harder than if the light, had been against winter wee j vil and the squares they puncture. If the regular farm laborers can be used in this work without a great deal of expense it will pay to con- I Mie the picking of weevils and 1 squares for one month. By doing this you can retard the develop ment of the weevil 20 to 25 days which gives the cotton sufficient time to put on enough fruit to make a good crop. If the winter weevils ‘are allowed to start early in the_ held without any hinderance they will puncture all squares as fast as they appear making it almost im \ possible to make any cotton at all.

WEEVIL KILLING FORMULA MAKES THE PEST A JOKE Dublin, Ua., June 27.—A formula for poison that will kill the boll wee vil and keep a Held clear of the i pest until August, when the migra-! lory weevils are in action, is being used this year by Dr. W. B. Taylor, of Dexter, Laurens county, who has. been growing cotton in Laurenrs for the last three years in spite of the boll weevil. Last year he made 139 bales on 150 acres, in spite of the weevil, wet weather and other hin drances. Dr. Taylor lives about 14 miles from Dublin and has become the. recognized boll weevil expert of the county. Saturday a friend in Dublin, asked him about the weevils on his farm. “Why the boll weevil is a joke,, with me," he replied. “I laugh every! time I think about him. 1 can rid any Held of boll weevils for 25 cents per acre, given just two successive days *)f sunshine." He was asked for an explanation, and when he replied that he had worked out a formula for poisoning the weevil and was using it, was asked for that formula. Here it is just as he gave it, and it has the endorsement of the county demonstration agent of Laurens •ounty. J. B. Tyre who was present: Take molasses, 2 gallons: saccha rine, t ounce; ice cream powder, 2 packages: calcium arsenate, 10 lbs.: vater, R gallons. Mix the ice cream powder and the saccharine both in a little water before adding to the oth er ingredients. When you have i'e all mixed together well, be sure il is kept agitated that the poison does not settle to the bottom. Make a mop by taking a small stick and tying a roll of cheese cloth, around one end about two inches wide. Get an old tin can. till it with the solution, keep it stirred and walk down the row and put a few drops of the solu tion on the under side of the leav es near’ the bud of the plant. Be sure the mixture il; well stirred while putting it on. Only a small amount is required for each plant and with this amount of the mix ture scientifically applied it will cover 20 acres- Some however ap ply a little thicker and it may not cover more than 10 acres. A few drops to each plant is just as ef fect i'e as a gallon. ty, but m small numbers only. We trust# that Ill's year’s crop of soy beaus and eowpeas will not be at tacked by tliis insect.
