There is still further evidence to sub.
stantiate the claim that farming pays,
although this claim does not require
further evidence. Last year F. e. Shell
don sold to w. L. Hammond of Middle
Fork township eighteen acres of land at
twenty-five dollars an acre. Mr.. Ham.
mond raised seventy-fye bushels of corn
per acre on that same land this year.
which is the largest yield reported from
that township. If he sells his corn at
sixty five cents q bushel, an acre of this
land will yield revenue of S4S.75, and
after paying for the land from this
years crop. Mr.. Hammond still has
$23.75 to the good. OF course farming
pays.-Ringgold Record.

Everything Coming His Way.

A. w. Turner, farmer living three
miles north of Thurman, Fremont
county, lately bought few hundred
Angora goats to clear 500 acres Of the
brush which grew on his farm. The goats
have not only done their work
thoroughly, but the clearing of the
ground revealed the out-cropping of q
two foot vein of coal and II inches of
graphite everything it. Every body
knows the value Of coal in western Iowa
and the graphite is worth $40 ton, &c
it can be seen that Mr.. Turner ha.
struck bonanzs. Besides all this dis.
covery Of mineral wealth, MIR. Turner is
richer by an increase in the goat herd
by $50 kids.

1t is reported that stock has been
bringing lower prices than formerly at
numerous public sales. There are
sew eral reasons for 1T. In the first place
the sales have been entirely too numer-
Gus. Then also the feed is not turning
out as well as expected. We are in
formed that it is taking great deal
more hay and fodder this season per
animal than ever before. 1t seems that
the nutriment of the forage was injured
by the dry weather so that it takes
more than usual. However, if the
fayorable weather continues few weeks
yet the prices will be higher for the
stock. -Ridgeway Journal.
We hear numerous complaints of the
same nature in this county.

Mr.. E. A. Tanner informed us on
Tuesday that he had about finished up
his business of the collection Of taxes
from parties who had failed to give in
their property to the assessors. Con-
trary 10 his expectations the amount
due the county was only 500 instead of
the expected $4,000 as he stated last
week. His share of this will amount to
a little less than 500, but little less
than enough to pay railroad fare back
and forth, to say nothing of his time
and other expenses. He says he found
as much on the records as he did in
Lucas county where his collections were
about $4,000 but the people of Wayne
county were enabled to show their in
debtedness in much better shape. This
small collection by the tax ferret shows
either that out people have been giving
in their property better or else were
able to cover up their wealth better, if
they had any, than our neighbor coun-
4 ties. MIR. Tanner is spoken Of by all
:. who come in contact with him as very
fine man to do business, allowing all
legitimate claims in an honorable
manner.-Corydon mes-Republican.

that state there are l,40O distinctive
manufactures which produce 2.346 diff

that it would bring about the diversifi-

So many strong arguments for the en-
dorsement- of the republican ticket were
available in the last national campaign
that some were sighted. One achieve
ment Of which little was said was the
settlement of the Pacific railroad debt
by the payment to the government of
almost the entire amount, principal and
interest. The sum due was $4,000. 600,
and the treasury has received $4,000, :
900 in it's liquidation One small line re-
mains on which the sum of s1.S72. 900
will be realized. 1t was not until Presi-
dent Mckinley took hold Of affairs that
the idea of saving the whole OF this
debt was seriously entertained. Plans TO
get half of it We're talked of in former
congresses. But President Mckinley
and his cabinet pushed the matter with
great vigor and the finest perception Of
opportunity, and the result is payment

and the comparatively small losses there

say that the prevailing national pros

vinol Makes il.
POOR b. GOD CAUSES ERUP.
TONS AND WEAKNESS.
vlnol Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE We KNOWN THIS
We GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is sure sign OF
internal disorders We see every day
too many people whose faces p1ainly
show that there is something radically
wrong
We want all of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer tn Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is .
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers OF live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tioas.
Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar.
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body. and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt Of a letter from
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
~ took Vinol after bad attack OF
grippe, and SO much good did it do me
that persuaded my sister to take IL.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
tite and her blood was very poor. 1t
did her as much good as it did me. ~
