Cotton Receipts
Owing to the depressed condition at
present account of there being no
market for cotton, we will advance the
ginning, bagging and ties on all cotton
receipts deposited with this bank. This
will enable the farmer t) have his cotton
in warehouse ready for sale when the
market opens.

MACHINE COLLIDES
WITH SHERIFF’S TEAM
Wednesday evening, about 7
o’clock, DeWitt, the little son of
of Sheriff Wright, while return
ing home, driving his father’s
team, met an automobile driven
by Mark McLemore of Vidalia,
a few hundred yards from town.
Before he knew anything the
machine was upon him. and the
next thing known the horse had
been almost knocked down and
the machine rendered helpless
by the blow, while the occupants
were not scratched. The horse
was badly bruised, but no bones
broken.
It is said that the machine
was coming at a rapid rate around
a curve and that it was very dark
and the machine poorly lighted.
Sheriff Wright believes that the
injury to his horse is very se
rious and it will take some time
to determine the full extent.
The horse is one of the best in
the county, and it is feared that
it will never fully recover.

Mr. B. Avant, one of the
prosperous planters of the Erick
neighborhood, is in to"n today.
Mr. Avant came around to see
us and had his subscription to
the Eagle marked up for another
year.
The initial issue of the Laurens
County Citizen came to our of
fice this week. It presents a
bright appearance, and will meet
with great success. It will be a

Mr. A L. Elkins received a
fine country-cured ham, by par
cel post, last Monday morning,
sent from Washington county.
He told all of his friends about
his good fortune, but on the fol
lowing Wednesday morning they
were alarmed at the speed he
came dashing down town (think
ing of the ham he had just re
ceived), but on inquiry Le told I
their that the excitement was!
caused by the stork that left a
bouncing baby boy at his home
the previous night.
Lost For Four Years
Watch is Recovered
Four years ago, Brantly Sikes
was working around his father’s
saw mill, located near his home,
and dropped his watch, and its
whereabouts has been a mistery
for four years, nutil a few days
ago it was found by Tom Crry,
a colored farmer on Mr. J. F.
Sikes’ place, where it had been
buried under the saw dust and
the winds of time had brought it
to view. As soon as he found
the watch he began to make
inquiry, and when the matter
was brought to the attention of
Mr. Sikes he remembered that
his son had lost a watch, and on
investigation it was fourd to be
the long lost watch of his son. It
was in good condition, compara
tively, only some parts a little
rusty, and aside from this it will
run.
Mr. Sikes is pleased to find
his valuable little watch, and the
finder is to be congratulated on
honesty in seeking to return the
lost property to its rightful
owner-
FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS
FOR BACKACHE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
| Kent’s park continues to be
the most popular resort in town
lon Sundays and the bathing
■pool adds more attraction during
I the week. Judge Kent is very
Iconsiderate, though a crop is
; cultivated on the grounds, he
'continues to allow the public the
I same privilege. He takes a lot
(of pride in cultivating this cozy
' little farm, and it is to be hoped
that all who visit the park and
spring will appreciate the privi
l«ge that he gives to the extent
that they will «not«ibuse this
privilege by molesting his
private belongings.
A LAME BACK-KIDNEY TROUBLE
CAUSES IT.
And it wfll give you even worse if not
checked. Mr*. H. T. Straynge,
Gainesville, Ga, was fairly down on
herback with kidney trouble and in
flamed bladder. She says: I took Fo
ley Kidney Pills and now my back is
stronger than in years, and both kid
ney «nd bladder troubles are entirtly
gone. Alamo Drng Co.

Atlanta Markets Open
To Farmers of Georgia.
Atlanta, Sept. B—The markets
of Atlanta are open to the farm
ers of Georgia who wish to ship
fresh meats to Atlanta. This has
been made possible by an ordi
nance adopted by the city of
Atlanta, which permits any such
fresh meats;when bearing proper
certificate signed by the shipper,
to be sent to Atlanta, without
the inspection and approval of
an authorized state meat inspec
tor. It is provided, however,
that before being offered for
sale, fresh meats shall be in
spected and approved by one of
the meat inspectors of the city
of Atlanta, who will visit each
depot in the city of Atlanta in
the morning and afternoon of
each day, for the purpose of
making this inspection.
With the city market and the
city homes of Atlanta open to
such shipments and the South
ern Express Company offering
low rates and prompt deliverv in
Atlanta, the farmers are offered
a wonderful market for their
meats. What is true of Atlanta
will probably be true of other
cities of the state in a short while
Atlanta has long been an open
market for fruits, vegetables
and other country produce, but
it is only since the adoption of the
ordinance referred to above that
it has been possible to express
meats to this city with satis
faction.
CITROLAX
Users say it is the ideal, perfect
laxative drink. M. J. Perkins, Green
Bay, Wis., »ays I hav* used pills, oils
salts, etc, but were all disagreeable
and unsatisfactory. In Citrolax I h«v«
found the ideal laxative drink. For
sick headache, sour stomach, lazy liv
er, congested bowels, Citrolax is ideal.
