DONT LET THEM FOOL YOU
Dont let them fool you Mr.
Farmer. The time to plant the
cotton crop of 1909 is here, and
every possible effort will be made
to get a large crop hi the groin d.
Hut don’t let them fool you!
They tell you that out in Texas
the ground is so dry that it will
not sprout cotton seed, mid so
"hard that it can’t bo plowed,
Hear in mind that it is the bears
who tell you this. Tho inference
is that the crop will l>u short in
Texas, and hence cotton v ill
bring a good price this fall.
But what are they tolling in
Texas? Dont lot them fool you,
for thoy are tolling out there that
the ground in the Eastern States
is so wot that it cant bo plowed in
thirty days, am) the damage is
irreparable. Therefore, the Texas
farmer may expect a big price and
must plant a big crop.
Tho boars want a largo crop
planted. Tliats the first tiling,
(live thorn a large crop planted,
and they will do the rest.
If anybody is expecting Ala
bama to reduce her crop below
that of 1908 thev are making n
mistake. Alabama will make
more cotton in 1909 than she did
in 1908:
those who have given it a fair
trial, and even where the plan has
been only partially tried the re
sults have been surprising.

COTTON ADVANCES.
In January of this year the
Progress stated that cotton would
go to ten cents, ami porlmps
higher, about cotton planting
time. Wu call attention to the
fact that ftH the planting season
approaches the price is advancing
from ten to twenty point* each
day. Already ten cents has been
reached at the ports and before
th in is read it may be selling at
ten cents in tho interior.
Roar in mind that the time to
of the Progress wo publish in full
an article written by Mr. William
son on his plan of raising corn.
It was published last year in tho
Progress, and perhaps has been
published in nearly all ot the
Agricultural papers that enter the
homes of the farmers of this sec
tion, Still, this subject of corn
raising is the most important that
confronts the people of Georgia,
and we feel sure that tho nrtiolo
will nmke interesting reading just,
at this time.

EASTER SUNDAY.
As far back as the memory of man runs it has been a custom to don new clothes on Easter. This year will not be
an exception. Already the ladies are prepared with new dresses, new hats, new shoes, and all the pretty things that
go to make women beautiful. Not so with the men. They have got to do their Easter tradirg, and we are prepared
to furnish them throughout. If you desire to be “a well dressed man” at the least expense possible we offer you the
opportunity.

CLOTHING.
The Best—The Cheapest
—The “name” is a house
hold word throughout the
United States, and in this sec
tion there are hundreds who
will wear nothing but Strouse
6c Brothers Clothing.
Other merchants devote a
great deal of their time Ex
plaining that their clothing is
as good as Strouse 6c Broth
ers, but we state without the
fear of successful contridiction
that, for elegance or style,
durability, and pleasure in
wearing their clothing is
without an equal.

“Crossctt” Shoes.
We have had ampleoppor tunities to take
on new lines of “shoes for men,” but our
leader is still the “CROSSETT.” Experi
ence has taught us that it gives general
satisfaction, and that a person who wears
“Crossett’s” once, rarely makes a ohange.
Another thing that has made a powerful
impression on us and fortified us in our
position that the “Crosset-” is the best on
earth, is THAT MEN WHO NEVER
SPEND A CENT WITH US FOR ANY
THING ELSE COME TO OUR STORE
FOR “CROSSETT” SHOES. We have a
large and well selected line and feel sure
we can please you for Easter. Sole Agents

FURN ISHINGS
Some men are satisfied
with a new shirt for Easter,
and some with a new tie.
We have them both "in large
quantities. And any thing
else you may require in this
line you will doubtless find
in our stoie. Underwear,
hats, suspenders, hose, col
lars, cuffs, have all been select
ed with the utmost care with
the view of ‘giving the very
best value for the money.”
