Friends and Fellow-
Countrymen:
Since early boyhood we have
heard it ^declared that a heavy
snow fall is almost certainly fol
lowed by good crops.
Certainly it is to be hoped that
the saying will prove true this
year.. .
While our farmers fared well
last year, and are now in good fix
for the duties of their avocation,
there is positive need for good
crops. It is already evident that
expenses will be increased in many
particulars in addition to the im
provements that have been made
on the farms, and in the imple
ments and accessories.
So far the preparation has been
thorough to the extent of the work
done. But some unfavorable cir
cumstances have prevented^ work,
and not a few farmers have not
progressed as^favorably with their
work as is desirable.
It may be that the great increase
in the number of negro renters
will render hired labor scarce, and
consequently more expensive than
heretofore. More guano has been
purchased, and the indications
are that the cotton crop will be
larger.
Even if the acreage devoted to
food crops is not decreased, there
will be extra need for good yields
of all such products. Increased
expenses cannot be satisfactorily
met, unless the crop, yields are
good, henGe the earnest hope that
the la*e snow will exercise a be
neficent influence and cause the
land to yield most bounteously.
The bright sun in yonder heavens
shines equally upon the just and the
unjust, but in all his majestic course
he has never shone upon a better
Farm Wagon than the
....Celebrated....
Owensboro.
We have just received a solid car
load of these wagons, whose equal
cannot be found.
Also, we have on hand a pretty
line of BUGGIES. Especially would
we call your attention to our beauti
ful “Stick Seat” Buggies. We are
sure we can suit you in price.

Artificial Digestion.
Is that all yon want? It is not all that
you can get. T. & P. Stomach Tablets
contain the best digestive agents. These
digest the food; but if this was all
they would not and could not cure you.
They have combined with these digest
ive ferments, Tonics that act directly on
the organs of digestion, and. Laxatives
that regulate the Liver and Bowels, put
ting the system in condition to perform
its own work. This means that if you
will half way take care of your stomach
a cure is certain.
T. & P. Stomach Tablets are for sale
by all druggists. 50c. a box.
Free sample by mail if you will write
for it. -

Exceptionally Interesting Meeting.
The postponed February meet
ing of the Perry Epworth League
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.
Hodges last Friday night was ex
ceptionally interesting. Fully fif
ty people were in attendance.
The meeting was opened with
that beautiful song, “All Hail the
Power of Jesus name.” After the
reading of a scripture lesson, and
prayer, the president announced
that no business would be trans
acted, as the music and literary
program was rather long.
The third vice president assum
ed charge of the meeting.
The program as rendered con
sisted of a number of musical re
ligious selections, songs and in
strumental variations. Follow
ing each'rendition was presented
a short sketch of the author, or a
selection relating an incident con
nected with the song, or music.
The recitations were exceptional
ly good, as well as the music, vo
cal and instrumental, and the
reading.
The program embraced the fol
lowing well-known and -ppular
pieces:
“All Hail the Power of Jesus’
name.”
“Jesus Lover of my Soul.”
“Sweet Bye and Bye.”
“Rock of Ages.”
. “Ashamed of Jesus.”
“Nearer my God, to Thee.”
“Where is my wandering Boy
tonight?”
“Just as I ami”
“Annie Laurie.”
“Saved by Grace.”
“Praise God from’ Whom all
Blessings Flow.”
All proclaimed the meeting in
tensely interesting, and many
lingered untill about 11 o’clock.
