Board of Trade Should

Matter.

The State military encampment
met last year in camp Francis at
Excelsior Springs. Mexico has a
fine chance to secure the encamp.
ment this year. All the military
companies in the State will meet
somewhere in Missouri for 10 days
in July. There will be about
1000 persons present, who will re-
main at least 10 days. There will
be a sham battle, etc., etc. We
have been informed by prominent
officers that they would like to
come to Mexico. Carthage or
Springfield want the meeting, but
Mexico can secure it for the ask
ing. If our people want the en-
campment to be held here steps
should be taken in this direction at
once. The Board of Trade should
look after this matter as such a
meeting would be worth thousands
of dollars to Mexico.

How Severe Colds are Broken Up in
Montana.

From the Virginia City (Mont.) Madisonian.
When we find medicine we know to
possess genuine merit, we consider it a
duty, and we take pleasure in telling
the public what it is. Such medicine
we found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
last winter, when la grippe was prevail
ing. We are satisfied that we warded
off several attacks that were threaten
ing by the use of this syrup, and we
have since relieved, in few hours,
severe colds, and in the course of two or
three days, entirely broken them up by
it's use, as we have several of our friends
to whom we have recommended it. 1t
is all that it is represented to be by the
manufacturers. If you have a cough
and want to stop it, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will do the work. For
sale by G. F. Heinzeman, 222 N. Main
street, John A. OFF, Fourth and Spring,
and all leading druggists.
