The farmers have had remarkably‘
fine weather for preparing their land
for a crop, and much planting hasl
been done. Now there is danger of
overcroping, it would be better to
turn back and re-break, harrow good,
add some extra fertlizer, than hasty
preparation, half done if you in
crease your yield 250 lbs. seed cot
ton per acre on a six acre crop you
have increased it one bale. Now
haven't you noticed in gathering a
crop where with some extra work you
could have esaily done this. Don’t

Catarrhai Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bylocal applications, as they canad! reach
the diseased portion of the ear Chere is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutionzal remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rdmbling gound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Decafness is the result. Urniess the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarri:, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous gurfaces of the
system,
We will give One FHundred Doilars for
any cage of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be wcured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir

Produces More Clear Profits than
Any Other Variety
This is a fifty-fifty cotton—one of the highest
linting varieties in the world. ;
It is the earliest variety known to this section—
beats all others to the gin.
It is easily picked, has good-sized boll, resists storm
and drouth, and malees more profits than any cotton
ever grown. =
We invite you to write to any business concern or any farmer
in Milton county for the truth of these statements. If they
are not true we don’t want you to buy the seed.
Numbers of tenants in this county declare this cotton has
made them enough more than other best varieties to pay their
rents.

you live within fifty or sixty miles of Alpharetta, get in
your car and come to our place, and when you get in
our settlement, ask the farmers along the way what they

MERRILY.
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs, Z.V. Spell,
of Hayne, N.C. “Icould
not stand on my feet, and*
just suffered terribly,””
she says. ‘“‘As my suf
fering was so great, and’
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr, —— had us
get Cardui, . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. | know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, formy
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes furthers *‘l
am in splendid health . . .
can do my work. 1 feell
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.
