The weather in Louisiana since early
in December has been very unfavorablc
to persons liable to throat and bronchial
diseases. The writer Of this article is not
physician, but he has been troubled
with bad cough and hoarseness, and
wishes to state for the good Of the a1-
flicted what the doctors gave him that did
him the most good.
For sore throat hoarseness, equal meas
ures Of boiled molassee (uot honey, par
egoric and whisky, with horehouud sum-
cient to make it very bitter, ta-
king half teaspoonful at : time after
coughing, gave great and permanent re-
lief. Horehound can be purchased at
the apothecary's.
a little dry salt on the tongue after
coughing gave great relief; so did little
dry sulphur. The physicians now use
dry sulphur for diptheris and throat dis
eases.
A piece Of flannel or cotton cloth (pa-
per will do) confined in front Of the chest
and lower part Of the throat by . string
tied around the neck to protect the throat
as far as possible from wind and cold
does much good. Try all thsss ren,edies
II any one or moro fails.-Ex.

ELLSWORTH.


The Lyou County Reporter has re-
porter out reporting. He writes Of
Ellsworth, the coming town Of the
western part of our county:
This town is located in Minnesota
just across the line from Lyon county,
is tributary to it. It is situated on the
B. z. r. & N. railroad about twelve
miles from Rock Rapids. The town
plat was laid out in September 1884.
Mr.. Jehn Butler, a large land owner in
Lyon county, sold out his interests and
invested at Ellsworth and to his enter
prise the town owes much. His grain
ware house was the first building put
up. lie also put up a large two story
building, in the lower part of which he
has Il large stock of hardware and gen.
eral merchandise under the manage
ment of Mr.. Patrick .. Malley, from
whom we obtained the following infor-
m: ton: There are now four general
stores, carrying stock worth twenty
thousand dollars, four saloons, two
large hotels. one Of which has just been
finished, 4 blacksmith shop, butcher
shop, three grain warehouses, a livery
stable, three farm implement establish
ments, one harness shop, a drug store,
furniture store and lumber yard and
coal yard. They have now raised five
thousand dollars for the erection of a
Catholic church; the size will be 9Gxs5,
handsomely finished. John Butler,
who owns section 1O-1OO-H in Lyon
county, purchased sixty acres aijoin-
ing the town site, which he laid out In
lots: this is known rs Buffers addi'
ton. The Norwegians intend to erect
q church shortly. The place has spt

Gen. Grants last uttered word was
"water," in response to a question as
to whether he wanted anything. It
will be difficult for history to point a
moral from this as is customary, unless
the temperance people seize on it and
preach hereafter that Grant died a
prohibitionist because his last word
was "Water."

A son OF David Smith writes from
Hubbard county, Niinn., giving some
description of that county. Hubbard
lies north of Wadena county and con-
tains Lake 1tasca. the source Of the
Mississippi river. Mr.. 5. says:
HUBBARD MIMI, July Z. 1885.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Supposing that
it will be Of interest to your readers. /
will give Il description Of this portion
Of northern Minnesota.
Hubbard county lies just north OF
WAdenA county, and is bounded on the
north and east by Cass county. 1t Con-
tains only two villages. Park Rapids.
the county seat, situated Oh Fish hook
river, is SO miles north If the Northern
Pacific railroad ut Verudale, with
which it is connected by IL tri-weekly
mail and stage which, passes through
Hubbard. Hubbard contains one gen.
eral store, II newly erected steam pow
TT saw milf and nearly completed Wa
ter power Touring nill. Hubbard Co.
is composed mostly of two prairies call
ed 1st and I'd prairie. which, are sepa-
rated 10y Il narrow strip Of pine woods.
In the eastern part of the county is the
Crow Wing river. which connects a
Chain of sixteen lakes.
One would think that being 80 far from the
railroad merchandise would be very high.
Nevertheless goods can be obtained at quite
reasonable rates. lido not mean by this tn say
that is not 4 disadvantage to be SO far from the
railroad, for it is great disadvantage, for while
you can get groceries, etc. cheap, you cannot
| get = fair price for your produce. Neither DO
say that this section will compare !avoral'ly
| with Mobiles Co.. for there you are surrounded
with all the advantages Of an older settled co9n'
| try, while we have to contend with III! the dis
advantages Of 4 new and thinly settled country:
There you have three main lines OF railroad
which give rise to competing buyers. while here
farmers are obliged to take just what they can
| get for their produce.
The price OF land here is about $500 per acre.
which is about the sa ne as there. Much OF the
| land spoken of here as being prairie Is really
| brush land and although 1t IL much more disa
greeable TO FARM i yields better crops than the
smooth prairie The soil is quite sandy yet fer
| tile here, and when we get a railroad through
| this section will become more important. but
can never equal that section In agricultural
wealth.
II this Is given place in your paper may
write again. GEO. w. Smith.
