Attention is called to the advertisement of land for sale by D. P- Power. This place is just outside the city limits of Carrollton and taken altogether is one of the most desirable places in Carroll county. The improvements upon it are all new and first class. The farm is a splendid one.

One of Commissioner Henderson's questions for crop raised by farmers was the most profitable peracrc." Captain Kelly lias answered "Grass and fine colts." Many other farmers who are now wearing out themselves and lands, and going further in debt every year could profit by taking advantage of the example set- before them. So long has White's Cream Ver- mifuge been before the public that it is only necessary to say that this never failing remedy can be had of all druggists.
