ffM'.st Thoir Calling.
Never i. the history of the conn
y h- s there been so much in the
newspaper* about farming and fami¬
ng methods as has been published
in the Seth during the last feu
months, rj ie newspapers are tilled
with auviae ■ farmers. Much of it
.is good ' V" e, too.
Km . •. i-.y is just like any other
Musinevs. Borne men know how to
arm and inU'e money by tilling the
soil, M'hile there are others who do
not.
One of the latest to give advice
to the southern farmers is Secretary
Wilson. lie talks like a man who
knows ail about fanning and who
could certainly make fanning pay in
the South.
But Secretary Wilson is doing
something else for a livelihood.
And right here the thought occurs
to us that too many of our smart
mon who know how to farm are de¬
ing Something else—either holding
office, practicing law, publishing
newspapers or running stores. What
a glorious country we would soon
have i. more of these men vrho
know how to farm would get at it!
Our towns and cities are teeming
with men who think they know all
about farming and who, if they are
not mistaken about what they think
they know, have missed their call

The press and the public continue
to characterize the trusts as the
greatest menace of modern times to
the safety and welfare of the na¬
tion, but the trusts continue to grow
and thrive and their numbers multi¬
ply with startling rapidity. If the
thing goes on at the present rate for
many more years the commerce,
trade and politics of the whole
country will probably resolve into
one gigantic trust with some man
like Rockefeller at its head and will
absorb the government of 1he na¬
tion and everything in it.—Albany

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu¬
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few
years ago, when so many cases re¬
sulted in pneumonia, it was ob¬
served that the attack was never fol¬
lowed by that disease when Cham¬
berlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a
cold or la, grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. It is tho best
remedy in the world for bad colds
and la grippe. Every bottle war¬
ranted. For sale by Luke &
Ashley.
LaCsippe Successfully Treated.
“I have just recovered from the
second attack of hi grippe this year,”
says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, Mexia, Tex.
“In the latter case 1 used
berlain’s Cough Remedy, and I
think with considerable success,
only being in bed a little over two
days, against ten days for the for
mer attack. The second attack I
am satislie'd would have been equally
as bad as the first but for the use of
this remedy, as I had to go to bed
in about six hours after being
‘struck’ with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to busi¬
ness about two days before getting
down.” For sale by Luke & Ashley.
