FROM MISSISSIPPI.

W. H. Pullins Writes Ah Interesting Letter. W. H. Pullins, late f Barkley township, writes interestingly of crop conditions in Mississippi, where he'is now located: Editor Babcock: Dear Sir: W.e, too, have had a very backward spring. June weather in March and March in May. A light freeze April 25 nipped the corn considerable. For all that we are this day, June 21, eating roasting ears from field corn planted in February. Peas, beans, tomatoes, potatoes and such truck has been large enough to use this long time. There is no time of the year that we can not have some vegetables from the garden. Apples, peaches and .plums are ripe, with wild plums by the wagon load. W<? are cutting our alfalfa for the third time, this spring. A neighbor has 192 acres. The first cutting, the last week In April, sold for $2,130. This is a little over sll per acre, not' so bad from land which was bought a couple of years ago at S2O per acre. He is now cutting it the third time getting $17.50 per ton f. o. b. cars for it. The first three cuttings are somewhat heavier than the next three. The Governor has just completed a soil survey of the county and is co-operating with the state in eradicating the cattle tick. The county offers a SSO cash prize for the largest yield of corn raised by a boy under sixteen, with the stipulation that the yield be not less than 75 bushels. How much does Jasper give? This country is undergoing an agricultural revolution. The wooden mouldboard plow is being replaced by the huge steam affairs. Labor Is abundant at 60 cents per day or sl3 per month, they boarding themselves. This is less than the interest on the investment of a slave. A negro girl can be hired for $4 per month. She will cut and carry the wood, slop the hogs, milk the cows and wollup the calves, take care of the children, attend to the garden, do errands for the "Missus,” do the washing, scrubbing and ironing, and all the rest of the housework, and at odd times chew snuff and squirt a stream through her teeth and hit the stray cat in the right eye at a distance of ten feet. Such target practice is hardly permissible eyept in the back yard, but then there is something doing in Mississippi.

WINIFRED H. PULLIN,

Deer Brook, Miss.

Don’t pay 10 cents a bunch for 24 envelopes*when you can get a fine XXX 6% envelope at The Democrat- office for sc; six bunches for 25c. In sickness, If a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also surely fail. It may be a Stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative was not made to dose tue Stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That old-fashioned method ie all wrong. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to these' failing inside nerves. The remarkable success of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these failing organs. And it is Indeed easy to prove. A simple five or ten days test will surely tell. Try it once, and see! Sold by A. F. Long.
