The II. II. Wofford* family, all
of whom have had measles in a
very severe form, have two mem¬
bers yet in a serious condition.
Everything possible is being done
by those in the community and in
town to render such assistance as
they need. It is good to live in a
community where even the poorest
receive attention when in need.
The head the family, H. H,
Wofford, died Monday afternoon
and his body laid to rest in Wahoo
cemetery Tuesday. To us it is sad
and we know not why, that such
dire distress falls upon helpless
members all of one family, where
not even one is able to assist and to
wait upon the other, and the father
has sacrified his life in an effort to
serve his family.
Later—Another member of the
family, a girl, died Wednesday
afternoon.
Any man can take a newspaper.
It is the cheapest thing he can buy.
Every time a hen clucks and lays
an egg, his paper is paid for that
week. It costs less than a post¬
age stamp-—less than to send or
receive a letter. It comes to you
every week rain or shine, calm or
storm. No matter what happens
it enters your door a welcome
friend, full of sunshine, cheer and
interest. It opens the door of the
great world and puts you face to
face with its people and its great
events. No man it just to his child¬
ren or good to himself who does
not take his home paper,— Hart¬
well Sun.

Every farmer has it in his power very largely to
prevent crop failure. By proper selection of seed,
timely cultivation and, most important of all, a care¬
ful selection of dependable fertilizers , he gives his crop a
good, healthy start and keeps it vigorous throughout
critical seasons.
The South Atlantic Brands are made of high class materials,
selected with a view to giving service when service is needed.
They start the crops off quickly and maintain the growth and
fruit till harvest. The high grade animal ammoniates we use insure
late fruiting and development, and also liberate potash from the soiL
By their liberal use. the cotton crop is brought to a quick
and healthy maturity, thus escaping shedding losses and
the ravages of the boll weevil.
Don’t risk your crop on inferior fertilizers, but demand and insist on
getting the South Atlantic Brands.
