rection. as it is disturbed by plows,
hoes, moving feet—human or animal
—wheels, whirlwinds etc.; wilted
corn, demanding rain, worse wilted
corn and cotton, preyed upon by the
wire worm. Acres and acres of land |
where the worm - have destroyed the i
crop now sowed or being sowed in |

pelled to report what you hear on all :
sides: “Oh. how I wish we could i
get a rain.”

Wh»n one introspects a little, he
feels that Senator J. T. Robinson is
responsible for five-fourths of our re

the Senator was not severely sat on
when he was seeking to be governor.
Should he ever offer again as a candi
date for office —president, senator,
governor, coroner, road overseer or
what not—he will have some tall ex
plaining to do before he succeeds in
lining up all his former supporters,
including
Scribbler.

been "stung" on a. purchase.
1'itty years ago the buyer had
to look out, hut today it is un
usual to find a merchant who
will not return the money for
any article that has proven un
satisfactory.
An excellent example of this
kind ot fair dealing is shown
by the clean cut guarantee that
Walker’s Pharmacy give on
Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell us that any
person who pa vs 50c for a bot
tle of Dodson’s Liver Tone and
does not find it a gentle and
most pleasant liver tonic, harm
less, but a sure reliever of con
stipation and a perfect substi
tute for calomel, can get his
money back just a- quick as
• ey cal'- get it out money

P-'ison’s Liver Tone has prac
tically 1aken the place of calo
I sure in its action and causes
I no restriction of habit or diet.
No w.mder the drug people are
glad to guarantee it. while other
remedies that imitate the claim
of Dodson’s Liver Tone are not
guaranted at all. (Adv.)
