Farmers, plant, tobacco next year; try just a few acres and nee how much money you can make. Any man who has a one-horse crop can plant four acres in to bacco, and still have plenty of land for his other crops. The Uovernment's cotton crop report issued Tuesday caused cotton to rise one-half cent per pound in a few minutes. The crop reports showed the crop to be about 2,000,000 bales shorter than was expected by some. With a crop about 2,000,f$0# bales short it looks like the price will be much higher.

Two weeks ago Miss Nellie Cropse.y, a beautiful young lady of Elizabeth City, mysteriously disappeared from her home after a quarrel with her lovtir, James Wilcox. Wilcox called t? see her on the evening of her disappear ance and as he was leaving he asked her to accompany him to! the door. She did so avd her! whereabouts from that hour has been shrouded in mystery. Detectives have been searching for her, the river has been drag ged, but no clue has been found to clear up the mystery. Wilcox | who saw her last, has been held [ under a thousand dollar bond awaiting the action of the grand jury. Some think she was mur dered, others believe she has been abducted. This mysterious affair has civ ated a sensation throughout the county. The Governor has offer ed a reward of $300 for the cap ture of the abductors or murderer. Yesterday's papers contain an; account of a young lady being! arrested in Wilson answering to the description of the missing girl. There is doubt about the girl being Nellie Cropsev.

The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children are not alike either. One is rosy, bright-eyed, full of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. Thefeed ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets neW appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordi nary food do its duty. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for free temple. SCOTT & BOSVNE, 409 Peail St., New York, joc and $1. all druggists.
