It is estimated that the sum of
170,000,000, is spent annually in
the construction of public high
ways in this country. Os this
great sum of money It is safe to say
that two-thirds of it is mis
spent; that is to say, it has not been
spent In away to produce the kind
of results possible to obtain from its
investment. This is largely the re
sult of lack of proper information
and experience In metheods of work.
One of the very first things that
county commissioners ought to do
Is to have a good map of the county
shewing location as adl the public
roads in It. A study of the topogra
phy of th*« county is also essential.
In the hnpsovement of the roads se
lected it is expedient to make such
changes as will avoid going over the
tops of the hills. It sosts no more
to bslld around a hill than it does
to go over the top of it, and Mie dis
tance Is usually not greater. By
building around a hill the road can
be made practically on a plane, thus
saving much wear and tear.. In
planning the building of high
ways n good idea is to make the
county town the central place from
which to make the roads radiate as
mala arteries; then build cross-roads
as feeders to these main traveled
highways,—Progressive Farmer.

IT PAYS TO BUY FOR CASH.
There is probably no part of their
business in which the farmers of
the south have suffered more severe
ly than in their failure to pay the
cash down at the time purchases are
made. The credit system is so fas
tened upon us and has become such
I a large and important part of our
j whole business system that many
! farmers will feel that they must con
tinue to buy on credit a large part
’of the year; but this buying on credit
will have to be stopped before we
shall ever buy ‘o the best advantage.
The man who buys for cash is en
' titled to and receives exemption
from those charges which are legiti
! mately a part of the selling price
.! of poods sold on time. These are
I extra cost for book-keeping and col
lecting; the amounts necessary to re
imburse the merchants on the ac
counts of those who never pay; and
the interest on the amount of the
I purchases for the time for which
I credit is extended. These are fixed
j charges on the credit system and so
long as we permit these extra charge
s to be added to our purchases we can
• never buy to the best advantage.
I There are several ways by which
these useless charges connected with
buying on credit are avoided.
By the practice of extreme econo-
Imy for one or two years some are
able to so “catch up" financially as
i to enable them to afterwards pay cash
-for the things purchased. This is a
heoric method, but if none other is
’possible, the suffering and inconven
fence which it brings are probably
justified by the advantages resulting
from buying only for cash. Others
have found it economical to borrow
and pay interest on the necessary
money to pay cash for the things
which must be purchased, finding
that the interest charges on the bor
rowed money are less than those
| against purchases made on credit.
The most promising method for
I generally avoiding the buying of
supplies on credit is, probably a di
versification of crops, which will not
only lessen the amounts needed to
pay for necessary purchases, and dis
tribute them throughout the year
because of the better distribution of
labor, but will also afford products
i for marketing at all seasons. The
making of purchases on credit is
' much easier avoided when farm pro
-1 ; ducts are available for marketing at
’all times than when only one crop
like cotton is sold, and that only dur
ing the last two or three months of
the year.—Progressive Farmer.
Official announcement is made by
| the Chattanooga Station company

A new and clever swindle is being
operated by a man who is going

while doing so takes out good pieces

THE FARM BOY’S CHANCES.
1 .
But what inducements does the
i business of farming in the south
i hold out to the strong, ambitious
boy? Why, about just everything.
- 1 Do people talk about the greater op
portunities of twenty years ago for
s the young man who would make a
b success in agriculture. Just laugh
■i a' them, for there was never such an
s j opportunity in the history of the
ages as stands beckoning to the
y | young man on the farm today. We
g I have just begun to study the science
s. of agriculture—are just beginning
v ito find out that ours is a business
y 1 that requires brains to handle, and
s the young man of today is training
g his brain in the line of his business.
■ What this brain force means to the
e agriculture of the south we will be-
i gin to realize within ten years.
r I tell you, boys, I wish for no
>f greater pleasure than to be privileg-
I ed to go along with you for the next
t few years and see the things that ap
o plied science will bring about on
i- your farms, for it is going to be
r something worth while. We are go
lf ing to see our ten-bushel wheat crops
s increased to twenty and from twenty
e to thirty. Our twelve and fifteen
s bushel corn crops are going to fifty.
>- and some of you are not going to be
.1 content with less than one hundred
p bushels per acre; and our third-of-a
'- bale of cotton are going right
•f up to a bale per acre, and then to
two bales.
Our beautiful Southern country
y will be cleared of brush and briars,
y her soils filled full to bursting with
i- humus. The galls and gullies will be
i- a thing to look back to with shame
t for we will have learned (what men
e ought to have learned years ago)
n that grass is the. great soil builder

1 WILEY DONALD,
Subligna, Ga.
SUBLIGNA
, The writer was mistaken about
there being preaching here last Sun
day. It is next Sunday morning
also on Saturday before at 11.
Mr. Jay Fowler of Lafayette was
here Monday.
The people of this place were made
, sad Sunday by the news of the death
. of Mr. Carl O'Barr which occurred,
at his home near Trion. Carl isi
not dead but asleep in Jesus, where j
'we all will be some sweet day. He
; I was loved by all who knew him. He
has lived here at Subligna a long
. time until he move to Trion, some
. time last year. Carl was such a
, good boy we ought not to mourn af
ter him because God knoweth best.
But it is sad to give up our loved |
ones. We sympathize with the be-1
i reaved ones. He leaves,
s ‘a father, mother. brother, sis-
ters, wife and two precious little’
ones to mourn his death. The funer- j
■ al was held at Bethlehem church
on Monday afternoon. Bro. McKinzie
preached the funeral sermon. Carl
was a good Christian boy. professed
I a hope in Christ when quite young
I and lived a faithful member until his j
: death. He was an Odd Fellow of i
. this lodge, so they placed his body
. in the cold earth.
‘ An Enjoyable Occasion.
. | One of the most enjoyable affairs
11 ever given in Menlo, was the Hal-
I lowe’en party at Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
• I Polks. The ghosts began to walk at
j rather an early hour, but being set
free on this “night of nights.” they
: felt free to roam at will and as even
i “ghost minds seem to run in the
same channel,” they all wended their
way to the same place. Miss Effie
: Polk did not seem to fear her weird
: visitors for she gave them a kindly
i welcome at the door and bade them
■ enter. That they might feel no re
straint, this palatial home had been
t prepared for their coming. The cur-
■ tains were drawn, everything was
dark without. The front porch was
-: lighted with two jack-o-ianterns
i placed in “grinning” pumpkins. As
t you entered the reception hall a dim
i light shown from skulls, The ghosts
• began to feel at home and wandered
i thro’ halls and parlors, finding in
every nook and corner, relics from
their own haunts. Bats, witches,
bones and black cats, made them feel
at home, and soon “ghost eyes
looked love to eyes that spake again.
! and all went solemn as a funeral
1 knell,” for no word was spoken, no
’ sound heard, save the occasional “gig
■ ’ gle” of a white robed vision as it
flitted by.
After a couple of hours spent in
1 “silent communion,” dainty hand
-1 painted cards, emblematic of the day,
1 were passed to each and as soon
! as each state found its capital, the
' signal for unmasking was given and
' masks were thrown back amid shouts
of laughter, for no one had been able
’ to find out the other one, so com
’ plete the disguise and excellent the
1 acting. As soon as we were suffi
’ ciently recovered from our laughter
we were invited into a ’specially pre
pared room to have our fortunes told
After this the full lights were turn
ed on, revealing the most beautiful
’ decoration of autumnal leaves and
harvests. Many games were arrang
" ed for our amusement and the hours
flew by on winged feet, and all too
1 soon we found we must go home,
' for ghosts dare not walk on Sunday.
Delicious refreshments were served
’ Black coffee, Devil’s Cake and Pea
nut sandwiches.
1 We have no desire to forget such
■ a delightful occasion,- nor could we
’ if we would. Our hearts are lighter,
1 and our days much brighter since
1 we mingled with those of earth once
more.

In Memory of John W. Wafford.
i After an illness of only twelve days
' Mr. John W. Wafford departed this
1 life on September 14th, 1909. He
was a well known citizen in Chattoo
ga county. He was born and~ rais
ed near Menlo. At the age of 19
he was married to Miss Ella Fow
ler of Cherokee county. At the age
of 23 years he united himself with
the Baptist church. He was a devot
ed husband, a kind and loving fath
er and a true and devoted citizen,
always willing and ready to visit
the sick and lend a helping hand to
those that were in need. He leaves
a wife, five children, a father, four
brothers and two sisters to deeply
mourn his death. His children be
ing Mrs. L. A. Farr, of Edna, Tex
as; Mrs. H. L. Edwards, Lyerly, Ga.;
Mrs. L. O. Harris, Edna, Texas, Miss
Bessie and Clarence Wafford, of Ly- ,
erly.
It is hard to give up a kind and
i true friend but God’s will must be
done. We can only look forward and
prepare for the time when we hope
to meet in that upper and better
kingdom where no more sad parting
come.
His body was laid to rest in the
Lyerly cemetery on September 17th.
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled;
The place made vacant in our home,
Can never more be filled.
Our father in his wisdom called,
The boon His love had given;
And though on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

Catarrh of the Stomach j
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve, j
A PROMPT AND EFFICIENT
\ i i\ o i’ii i '
' Mr. S. W. Jackson, 815 Weaver Block,
, Greenville, Ohio, says: “While I was
superintendent of construction of J. F.
Bender and Bros.’ Co., of Hamilton,
Ohio, I became entirely unfit for busi
ness with catarrh of the stomach.
“A friend called my attention to a
remedy for this condition. I began to
improve at once. I was soon able to re
turn to my former profession.
“It would require many pages to de
scribe the condition I was in and the re
lief I have obtained.”
Here is another case. Officer George
Y. Stout, 724 North Broadway, Balti
more, Md., says: “I suffered very much
with catarrh of the stomach and ner
vous indigestion. I lost fifty pounds in
■ four months.
“A friend called my attention to a
! remedy, which I used, and gradually
got well. I have gained half my lost
weight back again.”
Chronic Stomach Trouble. .
Mr. Robert J. Gillespie, 636 South
Main St., Los Angeles, Cal., secretary
j of Lather’s International Union, was
also suffering from catarrh of the stom
ach a long time. He grew thinner and
paler, lost all ambition and appetite.
I Sick at the stomach, indigestion con
tinually.
A friend also called his attention to
a remedy, which brought about a de
’ cided improvement. After continuing
the use of the remedy for a month, he
considers himself permanently relieved.
Now, once more. Mr. Christian Hof
man, Slatington, Pa., says he suffered
for many years with catarrh of the
stomach. It produced a miserable
cough, day and night. He tried doctors
and many remedies. A* I 4B * his atten
i tion was called to a remedy, the same
! remedy that relieved the others which
have been referred to above. He claims
that he was entirely rid of his stomach
j difficulty.

wrought this remarkable relief? So far,
the remedy has not been mentioned.

these statements it is very easy to ver

If the truth were known, the proba
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis
tence. We have a great many unsolic
ited testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en
tirely relieved them of catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facte. Now, if you have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
“The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
' “Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
“As chronic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
“The patients are nsually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Lose
of appetite or capricious appetite.
“The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a com
mon occurrence.
“Pain is not common. When present
it is nsually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is ot an irn
tating character.
“Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
ach frequent and persistent.
“Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked.”
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions Dr. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.
If you have any of these symptoms
get a bottle of Peruna. Take a dose be
fore each meal. See if your stomach
does not immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
People who object to liquid medicines
: can now secure Peruna tablets.
