Aug. 28.—The weevils and
worms have damaged the cotton
to an alarming extent lately.
Some farmers -say they have
ruined every boll and form, while
others say they have not de-
stroyed it all yet.
Tom Dickeison of Anthony
told us last week that he fourd
12 forms under one stalk and
— I *:
each of them contained a young
weevil. That upholds the theory
that they ought to be picked up
and burned.
Mr. Willoughby told us last
week that he had worn^ in his
cotton from the size of a sewing
thread to the size of a calf rope,
and they had bored the ends of
the limbs.
Most of the farmers we have
talked to this week say the worms
are letting up. The weevil don’t
seem to be bothering the upland
much.
With favorable conditions from
now on we think there will be as
much cotton raised as the popple
can gather, and we think and
hope .the price will be good.

The Doctors Had Given Me Up.
Doniphan, Tex., Aug. 2, 1907.
— Dr. Thatcher Medicine Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.—Dear Sirs:
There is nothing gratifies me
more than to tell my sex what
vour Stella Vitae has done for
me. I was down with my ova-
ries suffering almost death. I
was so suffering with smother-
ing spells that it seemed I would
die. Some one told my husband
about your Stella Vitae and he
got me one bottle and I began
to take it, and from the begin-
ning I felt better. The doctors
had given me up to die and said
I couldn’t Dossibly get well. Af-
ter taking four bottles of Stella
Vitae I was up and .going about
my work. I don’t think there is
any female medicine on earth
like Stella Vitae. I freely give
this to the Thatcher Medicine
Co. knowing I am doing my sex
great good. Yours truly,
