The style of mule has changed just about as much as the style of women's hats has changed.- Itiused to be that a little bit of a mule sold readily and was more in demand by t je farmers than was the big twelve hundred pounder. The saw mill man was about the only one who jcalled for a big mule before the style in mules changed. Jow the big mule is all the style. A little goat of a mule and his little brother, too, cannot pull a plow the way plowing is doue now. In former days when land was brok en with a little bull-tongue plow, about as broad as three and a half or four fingers, one little mule was all that was required in the way of mo tive power. But now when a twelve inch broad and ten inch deep furrow is to be made and land really broken and some real man plowing is to be done the style in mules had to change, and the big balaam, weighing away over half a ton, is in demand and- it takes two of him and sometimes three to pull a plow.

Just as soon as the farmers fellow who spends? his time telling him how to do has. Now you fellows who stand around the mule lots and on the sunny side of the house and talk about the farmers being fools for ying their mules instead ot raising ban, let that fact puncture their ncsgins. Not long ago we heard a mafc, one of those problem solving fellows, a regular would-be regulator talking to a man about twise his age, about the. folly of sending money out of the country for mules. On and on he talked, and from his talk , you would have judged that he had .'sav ed about a million by not buying mules from the Weet but he had not neither had he raised any mules, but ths old man to whom he wit talking had bought upwards of sev eral Western-giown mulea andia still buying them for his farm and that same mule-buyer can buy the buck who was givihg Mm the advice ten times and oever miss the chanee. And since then we bav been afraid to give advice about mule. improved AgocEitiiral ImplemeEts Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, when attending the Farmers Congress, at Raleigh, last fall, said: "The number and magnitude of your factories are impressive, but your agricultural meth ods have not improved as much as they should." This was "heavy talk," but then, you know, the Secretary did not visit Anson when South. We will wager a Chattanooga Disc Plow that Anson county has made as much or more prog ress than any county in the state during the past four years in the use of improved agricultural im plements: Four years ago, to purchase a carload of Chattanooga Steel Beam Plows; a carload of Oliver Chilled Plows, a car load of Disc Harrows or a car load of Stalk Cutters was considered the act of a crazy man; today it is foolishness to buy them in any other way. We get the best price, we get them delivered, and we are proud to say that our demand for these implements requires that we buy them in cars. c ' And how we do love to sell good implements! What would you think of a man that would stand up and tell you that there was a better plow than the Oliver Chilled Plow? Don't express it, please. We have all sires of these from the Baby Oliver (the Goober Plow) up to No. 19's. We have also added a new one, the B. C Oli ver. It's a dndy; just a light two horse size, between the No. 10 and A.C2. The Oliver Goober and 71 Chattanooga have laid out old "Dixie." You people who have been hitching two mules to a No. 72 plow, we want you to quit, try our new Chattanooga Plow No. 72 1-2, a heavi r plow, but pulls no heavier. And don't you want a plow that will pay for itself in a week's time? An Oliver or Chattanooga Middleburster will do it. You have been promising yourself a Disc Plow for a long time. Now is the time to buy. One man and three mules do more and better work than three men and three mules. Have you seen the Chattanooga Double Disc Plow? Our Stalk Cutter trade grows every year. Wc are selling lots of them now. We sell the Avery Nine Blade " (Avery always stands for quality you know) and the Ohio Seven Blade Cutter, We have sold more kinds of cutters than any dealer in Anson, and we know these two stalk cutters to be the best. We have noticed the wheels on some of our compet itors' cutters that have been used one season, and, from, the way they reel and rock, they look like a walking ad vertisement of "Ni-Becr." The wheels of a stalk cutter are the life of it. If we haven't already supplied you with one of our Ohio Disc- Harrows We want to do so. Did you see that big stock of these? They are all gone, but we will have a car of these in the last of this week, all reversible and at the right price. We have the largest stock of PEG TOOTH H AR- ROWS on hand that we ever had, and we are selling them, too. Wc carry the ACME HARROW in stock also. in i ' . p. W if A . & 1 art. .. yfJL J. A.
