Artificial Digestion.
Is that all you 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.

Rain is very much needed in
this section and owing to the re
cent drouth, many of the farmers
have had to plant the second time.
We thought we would have a show
er Sunday afternoon but the cloud
went another direction but we
hope it rained where it was need
ed. We are n ot out of fheart yet ;
we think our time will come be
fore it is too late. We heard one
of our farmers say that he would
chop his crop of cotton this week
if it would rain in the early part
of the week. The grain crop of
this section is not as promising as
it was a few days ago.
Mr. D. C. Arnold has got the
newest buggy in this village, but

that he said he was never more
surprised to find Messrs. J. W.
Tabor, J. W. Bartlett and R. W.
Hartley laying-by corn; not really
the last plowing, but that they
were ahead of the farmers of his
section. I don’t know why he
omitted his brother’s name, as he
is ahead of those mentioned.
