Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, .blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
Scott's Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Right food will cure it.
In thousands of cases Scott's
Emulsion has proven to be the
ri'dit food for soft bones in
childhood.

Making molasses season has come
again and the crop seems to be short
and sweet.
The weather keeps so cool and dry
that there is but little chance to strip
tobacco for those who have not an
ordering pit.
If some of the base ball teams
would play "eleven up" they might
win some times as it is hard to get
above eleven.
The fodder is all pulled and the to
bacco is all housed and saving cane
corn and potatoes will about finish
up the crop for this year.
Mr. Samuel II. Jones has employed
Mr. James Slaughter to keep his mill
another year. Mr. Slaughter has
kept this mill for a number of year.
The weather has been as favorable
for saving fodder as we ever saw it,
but it took longer for it to dry than
common. While the weatherwas as
fair as could be desired it did not
seem as drying as it some times is.
Can't say that we covet the repu

Satisfaction.
It is always a source of satisfaction to know
of a remedy that can always be relied on in
emergencies and when accidents occur such
a remedy is Elliotts Emulsified Oil Lini

is just as satisfactory in all cases where a
liniment is required. J. G. Hall.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Has Made People Well When
Every Other Remedy
Has Failed.
Faine's Celery Compound cures disease !
It has saved the lives of thousands of sufferers.
It has made the weak strong, vigorous, and
happy.
I'aine's Celery Compound purifies lhe blood
and builds up the nervous system as nothing
else can do ; it is pre-eminently the great life
gi er and health maker.
Overworked and tired women stand in ur
gent need of this health giving prescription to
make and keep them well. All women should
take advantage of the remarkable power of
this best of medicine for restoring vigor to the
blood and strength to the nervous system.
The all-important thing for nervous, run down,
and sleepless women is that Faine's Celery
Compound fortifies the whole physical system,
and by correcting digestion and regulating the
nerves, it insures sound, refreshing sleep. In
every case of sickness Paine 's Celery Com
pound completely and permanently brings
back health. Mrs. Mary M. Myers, Balti
more, Ohio, saved by Faine's Celery Compound
after the failures of able physicians, gratefully
writes as follows:
"I suffered for eight years with nervous
prostration and the general debility common
to women, and. had such pains in my back
that I could not get around the house. I used
several remedies and consulted several of the
best physicians without obtaining any relief.
Faine's Celery Compound restored me to
health.
" I also want to say to all mothers that
Paine 's Celery Compound is a splendid medi-
chic ur men uihuis-h.

For tb2 Sale of Leaf Tobao
HIGHEST AVERAGES GUARANTEED.
I am pleased to inform you that I have leased the Farmers Warehouse for the coming
season and will be glad to meet and serve you in the sale of your tobacco.
Oxford, as you well know easily holds first place in the State for the sale of wrappers
and is second to none on all other grades, and as a tobacco market its popularity and im
portance is ever on the increase. It shall be my pleasure to use all possible efforts to make
the Farmers Warehouse to Oxford what Oxford is to the tobacco trade.
Our buyers you must admit are as clever, high toned gentlemen as ever followed a to
bacco sale on any market. They have returned from their summer vacation in good humor
and will be on the market after the 3rd day of August, with plenty of orders and money to
buy your tobacco.
I shall have no drummers, but I have one of the best warehouses in Oxford and one of
the best lighted houses in North Garolina which will always show up your tobacco to the
very best advantage.
My accommodations will be the very best that can be had, good comfortable rooms for
yourself and dry stables for your stock, with gates locked at night.
Arrangements have also been made to pay each man as fast as his tobacco is sold, and
there will be no more long delays in getting your bills.
Mr. Jno. Perkerson, with 12 years experience, will be floor manager and will assist you
in unloading your tobacco exactly as you want it.
Another important fact: all my stock of leaf tobacco bought last year has been sold, ex
cept about ten packages of smokers, and I am now in good trim, ready, willing and waiting
for the opening of the coming season.
Every pile of tobacco placed on my floor shall have my best personal attention and the
highest market prices shall always be obtained.
Keep the contents of this advertisement ever in mind and when loading your tobacco,
remember it and drive straight to the Farmers Warehouse. You will never regret it.
Yours to serve, J. F. MEADOWS.
Mr. J. Sid Hunt, my partner for four years, I regret to say has moved to South Garolina
in the tobacco business.
I am at the Same Old Stand, Running
the Same Old House and Intend to do
Business in the Same Old Way
That is to say, the best interests of every f aimer
who sells his tobacco on the floor of the
m or
Shall have highest market prices and best accommodations and courte
ous treatment. We will not send out any drummers to your pack
houses this season and will not go in the country ourself, but will
always be on hand to see that you get the highest market price at all
times for all tobacco entrusted to our care.
Our market is as stong as the strongest, and "we know whereof we
speak" when we say we can get you as much for your tobacco as you
can get anywhere else, so come to see me and I will use every effort to
send you home pleased.
Don't forget the fact that I am now ready to sell your primings
and will see that you obtain the highest market prices,
Best accommodations for man and beast and our stables will be so
arranged that they can be locked at night.
Thanking my numerous friends for their very libeial patronage
and promising them my very best efforts to serve them accepcably, with
best wishes, Very truly your friend.
