STRING PRAIRIE
String Prairie, July 21.—The cot-
ton prospects for this locality have
been unusually promising but it is
the general opinion that due to the
continued dry weather, the crop
will begin to deteriorate rapidly
within a few days. A good rain,
just at this time, would be of untold
benefit.
This week marks an important
epoch in the history of the State,
that of the Democratic primary, and
the candidates are quite vigorous
in their solicitude of the voters in
the interest of their candidacy for
the respective offices to which they
aspire. Perhaps we do not all re-
alize the importance of giving this
matter our most earnest considera-
tion, that we may be able to elect
only those to office who are best
qualified to serve his respective
county, district or state, for the ad-
vancement both morally and fi-
nancially.

and Mrs. A. F. Evans, Mr. and Mrs
U. P. Boswell, Jas. A. Hilliard, Tom

Enthusiastic letters about the
Ford car arrive daily from every part
of the world. The following is typi-
cal of a great number received.
“Just a word regarding our ex-
perience with the Model A Ford.
“We purchased the car January 7,
1929. In the lirst twelve months it
was driven more than 2 1,000 miles
over all kinds of roads und in all
kinds of weather, from the nearly
impassable roads w< had in the
spring of 1929 through burning
heat. Also through the heaviest of
rainstorms where many ears were
dead and had to sit or, 5he roadside
until «hey were dried out and pulled
in. and through deep snow.
“The valves were ground at
twenty thousand miles and appar-
ently the car was running perfectly
at that time, hut some of the servico
men thought it would he advisable
to grind them. Inspection of the
motor at that time showed it to he ill
perfect condition.
“The only expense we have had is
75c for a shock absorber link and
50c for a new rubber for the wind-
shield wiper.
“The car has given an average
heller than twenty miles to the gal-
lon of gas. We are well pleased with
the performance of the Model A
Ford car ami believe il is the most
economical car there is on the
market.”
Thousands of other Ford owners
in every part of the world report the
same satisfactory service and econ-
omy of operation and up-keep. In
comfort, safety, speed, power, in
beauty and reliability ~= 211 every-
thing that goes to make a good
automobile — the new Ford is a
value far above the price you pay.
