WE WANT YOUR COTTON
AND WILL PAY THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE
DURING THE ENTIRE SEASON
See Us Before You Sell. It Means That You Get More
Money For Your Year’s Labor.
While we have always bought some Cotton every year, we have decided to increase our business in this line, f
so have secured the services of Mr. W. L. Ketchen, a thorough Cotton man, who will assist our Mr. W. M. Har- |
rell in buying cotton during the coming season, and if you see us before you sell you are assured of getting the 1
very highest price your staple will bring. |
Farmers who have never sold to us before will be welcomed and we assure them the same honest treatment S
in the marketing of their cotton that we have extended to thousands of our old customers, many of whom have
sold us their cotton continuously for the past several years.
Our weighing will be done at the old Cotton Yard, two blocks from our store.
When you start trom home with your cotton bear in mind that Harrell & Go. want to buy |
it. Don't let anybody keep you from seeing them before you sell. I

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 11 has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

Science has shown thait nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments m
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treatfits
