To Utilize Swamp Lanes.

Ex-Judge Hoke, now Consul to
Windsor, Nova Scotia, has written to
Editor W. G. Conley, of the Parsons
Adoocate, in which he urges the cul-
tivation of cranberries as being prac-
tical aud profitable for utilizing the

matter by cultivating some swamp
land on the farm of Col. John w.

pertinent is being watched with much

The Proposed Creamery for Oakland.

NOPOSSu OACaihCry LOT O8kland.
Mr.. j. Forward, of KeedysviIle,
Washi ngton county, whose presence
In Oakland was noted in these col
umns last week, is still in town
and meeting with some encourage
ment in establishing creamery in
Oakland. The meeting of the far
mers called for last Saturday did not
materalize, owing, seemingly, to the
fact that no place was assigned for
the meeting and the limited notice.
Mr.. Forward, this week, has been
out among the farmers and has en-
listed number of them in the nro,
posed enterprise.
Mr.. forwards plan to establish the
creamery here seems to be a feasible
one. The cost for the buildings, ma
chinery, ETC., will not exceed So. $50.
VI this amount Mr.. Forward agrees
to furnish $1,000, the balance to be
furnished by su bscribers in shares of
$25 each. The amount furnished by
the farmers and others who may be-
come interested will receive 5 per
cent. interest on their investment and
secure ready market for the milk of
two hundred or more COWS.
The meeting to consider the pro-
ject more fully will be held on Mon
day afternoon at the court house
when it is expected the affair will be
definitely Sc titled.

Mr.. Upton Cuppett, the McHenry
postmaster, was in Oakland Saturday
last to receive surgical treatment.
On Tuesday Mr.. Cuppett was struck
on the leg by limb of fallen tree
which splintered the bone of the
member and will incapaeitate him
from labor for few weeks.
After years of untold suffering from
piles, B. w. Pursell of Knitnersville,

business less Iaborious.
A thrill of terroris experienced when
a brassy cough or Group sounds

terror soon turns to relief after One

A number of the farmers about
town are preparing for their spring
work by applying lime to their fields.
To make the ground productive it
must be fed and this fact is being
found out by the tillers of the soil in
this vicinity as well as other sections
of the county.
We are anxious to do little good
in this world and can think of no
pleasanter or better way to do it than
by recommending One Minute Cough
Cure as preventive of pneumonia,
consumption and other serious lung
troubles that follow neglected colds.
