The PLAIN DEALER is under obliga-
tions for special favors during the
recent trip of its editor among the
people of the southwest part of the
county, especially to the family of
that good farmer, John Kirkman,
who was the first of the enterprising
Germans of Bremen county to locate
in this county and who worked up the
creamery that has been of such vast
benefit to the Maple Leaf patrons; to
the family of Levi II. Sisco, which we
are proud to number among our
friends, and to that of Truman Robi-
son which for thirty-fve years or
more has been among the steadfast
friends of the PLAIN DEALER. In
those early days we met them in the
hotel at Howard. the old Pettibone
stand, since which time they have
grown in wealth, commensurate with
the good judgment and common
sense OF which Mr.. Robson is so abun-
dainty possessed. The Darrow House
is our home though when at Elma and
it is our pleasure to speak in the high
est terms of its service.

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medi-
cineS?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, NC.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of Il newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the yari-
Gus proprietary medicines which food
the market, yet as a preventative of
suffering we feel it duty to say Il good
word for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await.
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure
but we do believe that if a bottle OF
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
mano cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least thi:
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by DR.
VIM. Connolly.
