The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.

ton bloom of the season Tuesday

tion to The Journal. The bloom
was red when brought to this of
fice, which shows that it appeared
on Monday.

the first bloom last year, the first
bloom last year having been
brought in by James Adair on the
5th of July.
DROUTH BROKEN
Good rains have fallen through
this section during the past week,
breaking a drouth of some seven
j weeks duration. The last rain of
any consequence that fell in this
j section was on the 30th of April,
land crops of all kinds suffered
from the effects of the drouth. It
is thought, however, that the cot
ton crop will not be materially dam
aged. the rain having come in time
! to save it. Corn is damaged, but
probably not to as great extent as
was thought by many.
