From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,

Itmay be question whether the ed

licly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventative of Suffering
we feel it duty to say good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di.
arrhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found
it reliable. In many cases dose of
this remedy would save hours of suffer-
ing while physician is awaited. We
do not believe I'M depending implicitly
on any medicine for cure, but we do
believe thatif bottle of Chamberain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in many cases the presence
Of physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience

Ringgold County Heirs Will Con.
test for Foreign
Estate

Descendants in Ringgold county of an
English nobleman are preparing to con-
test their claim as heirs to a vast estate
in England, worth presumably $50, 0O0,-
600. Should they prove successful in
establishing their claim, the amount of
good British gold that will be trane.
ferred to Ringgold county citizens will
not be less than ship load and the for
tunate ones riding in automobiles. build.
ing 1000 houses, and living in dead
swell English style, doncher know, are
among the possibilities.
The story differs from the many fairy
tales of estates in foreign countries and
has some foundation in facts. Sir Will
liam Thompson, lord mayor of London,
and possessed Of unlimited wealth, died
leaving his fortune to his son, Sir Will
liam Thompson the second. The son,
unlike the nobility of the present day,
had conscientious scrupfes against the
possession of such wealth and came to
America before the revolution, casting
his lot with the Americans. He re.
nounced his title and left his property
interests in trust. Before he died he
made known to his children the exist
ence Of his fortune, and fifty years ago
an attempt was made to secure posses
sion of it.. An agent was sent to Eng.
land to investigate, but soon returned
With considerable money and the report
that nothing could besdone. His EN-.
ployers concluded that he was bribed
by those in possession of the property
to relinquish the search and make y
false report to the heirs. Since then,
nothing has been done except in gen
eral way, as no firm of attorneys could
be employed to prosecute the search
without big retainer. The Investors
Security company of Boston, a RESPONSE
BILE firm, now offers to take up the cast
for one half of the amount received. 1t
is probable that all the heirs in America,
and there are a good many of them
will agree to the employment of the firm
and satisfy themselves as to the statue
of their claims. The property consists
of valuable real estate in London, ant
the ownership can be easily proven, blu
in case the title has reverted to tn
British government, long legal battl
and the courts will be necessary to Sc
cure settlement.
