THE PRICE OF GRASS.
Tho price of grass continues to
advance. Read this: “Fur prom

the following prices f. o. b. Thorn
ton :
Choice Timothy 120.00
No. 1 Tiniot.hy 19.00
Clover mixed 18.50
Hear in mind that these prices
are for cur lots to merchants, and
cash on delivery. To them must
be added a fair and reasonable
profit for isasli, anil if cn credit a
little more.
And think «f the thousands of
tons of Western glass wo if the
South will buy this year at tho
prices named. It is trim that ft

make more hay than the horse
will use, but then wo prefer
the Timothy!
And yet we sometimes ask
“Where does all tho money go?
A Check Account
Every person who receives and pays out money should
have a check account, but there are many people, not orilv
business and professional men, but salaried employees, far
mers, and housewives, to whom such an account would he
a great help and convenience, who, for some reason have
failed to take advantage of their opportunity.
Payment by check is the most practical, convenient, and
safest method of handling all financial transactions, whether
of a business or a personal nature. Come in and see us at
any time. Open an account if you wish, with what
you have on hand.
Pleaao tioto that ho does not

overflows in the Southern States”

But watch this follow, and in

HOW THEY TALK OUT WEST■
Wo have before called atten
tion to the fact that in the West
ern slab's of tho cotton licit they
are tolling of the disasters we are
having in this section in order to
induce tho planting of a large
crop. Mr. J. Burt Stovall has
Texas, caupled with the excessive
rains and overflows in the south
ern states, ami the certainty ot
destruction by the boll weevil in
Loimanu and tnc Mississippi val
ley, these sections cannot hope
foranything but a very short crop
tho coming season and a great
many of thebest ported cotton
men look for the now crop to open
up at 10 l-2c to 11 l-2e a pound.
“It is to he hoped that Okla
homa farmers will have a good
planting season. I believe that
Oio coming season is going to lit
the banner season for Oklahoma.
This will, however, lie greatly
helped by a good planting season.”
THE BEST CROP IN
COUNTRY AND CITY
Someone who has been rending
my articles for some years asks
me the best crop to plaid, one
that will give returns most any
where. Sow kindness. Plant in
n' desert und it brings an oasis.
.~m v it I. the water and it pro
duces 'ux iriantly. Scatter it
in . .mi.I I lie barnyard and it nukes
gentle animals. Speak it to the
tows and horses and they ansv er
with mute love. Use it in the
poultry yard and it makes beauti
ful chickens and more eggs.
I don’t know anything that it
capable of such dividends whou
counted, even from the pecuniary
standpoint. Taking it from the
other side, nothing on earth can
compete wild it in ultimate re
turns in other wavs.
L*t kindness predominate in
the household and watch the boys
and girls stick to the farm, it is
the best antidote for discontent
that can be found, and will surely
eause lasting happiness after most
things have passed away The
world needs kindness, and no
part of this great sphere needs it
more than the farms of the coun
try.
It thrives in any [climate, pro
duces on any soil, responds to any
cultivation, makes a good crop
anywhere, keeps throughout the
entire year, is suitable for all
purposes and is really in a class
by itself. I've been farming for
several years, planted nearly
everything that will germinate in
thw glorious section where nearly
everything grows, Lut there’s
nothing near so good ns kindness
Above all it makes a happy
home, and no crop, however
hunTiut, n i season, however
propitious, can approach the
pleasures of watching develop
ments from kindness. Try it#
neighbor. Use it in every way.
Count up tho difference in divi
dends at the en:l of the season,
and watch the proportion in favor
of the great crop, one which is al
ways in demand, salable any
where, everywhere, all tho year
around.—Milledgcvi!Ie News.
Prof. Rjy Re-elected.
At a meeting of the City Boar! (f
Education held last Thursday night
Prof. K L. Ray was unanimously
re-elected to the superintendency of
Vidal in’s schools.
Tills action of the ixiad has the
hearty endorsement of the potions of
the school and others who are interest
ed in the welfaee of our school and
city.
There J»as lieen no factor of greater
importance in building our city than
her system of public schools, and the
growtli lias been almost phenomenal
under Prof. Ity’s management. He
has served for a term of live years and
during that lime the school has pros
pered beyond the expectations of its
most optimistic sun parlors.
Five years ago school was opened in
a th’ce-room wooden building!, witli
and enrollment of sixty-eight and
three teachers. Today we have n
fifteen thousand dollar brick building,
thoroughly equipped and furnished,
nn enrollment of more than three-i.un
lred and eight teachers.
Surely has the lulxir of Prof. Ray as
superintendent of our public schools
been crowned with wonderful success.
Kodol For Dyspepsia

Kodol supplies the same digestive
Slices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts

good, wholesome lood to maintain

Indigestion and dyspepsia are the
remit.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something to
help your stomacli. Kodol is the
only thing that w ill give the stom
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work as a strong stomach, and

strong bv taking a little Kodol.

Shoes For Spring.
You must have Shots. Then why not have the best value
for the money? In tlie selection of our lines we have been
particular to look after the interest of our customers, for the
simple reason that a satisfied customer is the best advertise
ment. A lady who once wears Queen Quality shoes will
wear no others. We found this out before we handled the
“Queen Quality,’ ’and experience since has confirmed this
opinion. There are more lubes wearing Queen Quality
shoes to-day than ever before. The reason: A customer
once made is a customes forever.
Shoes lor Men.
Men must wear shoes even though the weather is warm.
There are shoes that sell at higher prices than the Crossett
shoe for men. but there are no better shoes. When it comes
to value there are none higher than the Crossett, while the
price is moderate. The fact that the Crossett is the most
popular shoe for men sold in McDuffie County, is evidenced
by the fact that their sale increases with each season. When
merit counts, the Crossett is A No. 1. Sold in Thomson by

Ladies Dress Goods
Recently we extended an invitation to the ladies of the
community to call and examine our new spring goods.
Several hundred of them accepted the invitation, and we are
led to believe that they were well pleased by the fact that
there has since been a constant demand for these goods, In
some instances the demand has been so great that we have
been compelled to utilize the Express Company to replenish.
We are willing to compare them with anything in Augusta
as to style, quality and price.
If you have not done so, we will be glad for y ou to call
and make a critical examination of our stock. We believe
that we can please you as we have pleased others. THE

Clothing for Spring
And Summer
If you see a man well dressed, hut at a moderate cost, the
decided propability is that he is wearing a suit of STROUSE
& BROlHERSCEOIHING. If he is not the decided
probability is that he has paid too much for his suit. One
of those "just as good as StrousC &. Brothers” will either fail
in a short while, or you paid from four to six dollars more
for tlie suit than its real worth.
Strouse ik Brorhers High Art Clothing have stood the
test of years, and the friends that they have made become
faster as the seasons come and go. 4 THE BEST” and
“THE CHEAPEST” is the verdict of thousands who will
wear nothing else.
