FOR SALE—Two good mules, well broke. C ash or good note. Alpine, Ga. J. H. Freeman. The General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy genuine—manufactured by the Cali ia ■ •'ia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale ding druggists. Price fifty cents The Summerville News.

DALLAS, TEXAS Summerville News:— About two months ago, I de cided to leave temporarily, the old red 1 ills of Georgia and mix up for awhile with the Jack rab bits, prairie dogs and Coyotes of the west and incidentally to pock et a few dollars along the way. It devolved upon me to employ and look after a force of men over here, and I have had no trouble in finding applicants, but have had great difficulty in find ing men with sufficient expense money to get out cf town. Texas is as dry as Daniel Boone’s powder horn, in many places, not a season since last October and twice since my ar rival in the state wo have had dust storms that completely ob scured the sun for hours over a radius of hundreds of miles, in sections. There has been partial showers, but in the main the state is very dry, stock water scarce and not sufficient moisture to bring forth the grass, neceossita ting the feeding of stock. Further west T find cotton pick ing still in order, and no surplus pickers, with some plowing the cotton under at the rate of one fourth bale to the acre. Cyclones are in ahead of time this year, one appearing in Wise county’ the past week, killing 11 people and injuring many others; loss of property' considerable. I f.m not looking for one of these “critters.” Texas evidently' felt tlie effects of the panic and with the drouth? insect pests and every kind of disaster in the catalogue of fail ure, I am forced to conclude that the average production from our old red hills will discount this country right along. There is no intermediate here, it. is either an overyvhelmning hit, or a most disastrous miss and yon may have the most flattering prospects one week, the next may witness the vanishing of all your earthly dreams. A few come here and succeed, but I'ke the fellow that drew the capital prize in the La. state Lot tery, you hear of him. hut not the <0 000 fliat failed to draw. Texas would be a great coun try under favorable conditions, but the insect pests will have to oroviile the moisture before it ho removed and the good Lord can ever reach firn maximum of its possibilities.
