A Typical South African Store.

o. r. Larson of Ray Villa, Sun
days River, Cape Colony, conducts
a store typical of South Africa, at
which can be purchased anything
from the proverbial needle to an
anchor" This store is situated in a
valley nine miles from the nearest
railway station and about twenty
FIVE miles from the nearest town.
Mr.. Larson says: II am favored
with the custom of farmers within
radius of thirty miles, to many of
whom ] have supplied Chamber
lain's remedies. All testify to their
value in a household where doc
tors advice is almost out of the
question. Within one mile of my
store the population is perhaps six
ty. OF these, within the past twelve
months, no less than fourteen have
been absolutely cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This must
surely be a record" For sale by A.

day has the following to say: "The
Frisco is also showing Galena and
Baxter many favors. These two
towns are really getting more by
the introduction of the new time
card than any cities on the line.
Not only will they receive the ben
eft of the new train to the south
west, but two trains which former
ly went by way of Carl Junction to
Columbus and on to Wichita will
now pass through Galena and Bax-
ter. By this change the road will
get the advantage of two good
towns which will contribute great
ly to the business of the road. The
distance from Joplin to Columbus
by way of Carl Junction and by the
way of Baxter is about the same"

The NEWS office rather knocks
them all out on sale bills, horse
bills and fine job printing. We
would like to have the farmers COM
pare our sale bills with those
printed at other offices. We not
only have the type and material,
but we get in the artistic touches
cross roads printers do not possess.
There are lots of better printers
than we in the printing business
and some of them may be George
Washington's, but the farmer who
wants sale bill or jack diploma
does not care for patriotism, moral
ity or the sunbeam sort of christi
anity. He wants good, wholesome
artistic work in clear type, white
paper good ink and skillfully dis
played. And that's the sort of work
we do at the NEWS office.

IT is announced that an agreement
has been reached by the United States
by which Denmark will sell to US the
islands of st. Thomas and st. John,
known as the Danish West Indies.
These two islands contain together
about A square miles, and we are to
pay between four and FIVE millions of
dollars. This is a pretty steep price,
for them, but good deal cheaper of
course, than the Philippines, which are
costing us something like a million
dollars day-and even at this rate
we still have to fight for foothold
in them.
Islands come very high, but Uncle
Sam seems to want them.

departed this life one year ago, the 10Th day
OF Move mber, 1900:
One mournful year has banished,-
Think we while the teardrops start;
But the memory OF this dear one
Still is fresh within my heart.
Oh, the agony OF that moment,
When stood beside his bed,
Till death stole upon him softly,
And knew his soul had fed.
l watched and waited by him,
Still hoping he would stay;
But an angel gently whispered,
Il Will bear your gem away" :,

thanksgiving for Mrs. Elizabeth Stocks,
a poor widow of Lazearville, W. Va.

means to rebuild. Upon learning OF
her condition William Loughead, a
neighbor of Mrs. Stocks, started out
among his friends and in short time
had raised few hundred dollars with
which to purchase the material for a
new home for the widow. Thursday
every carpenter in the town spent his
Thanksgiving holiday at work upon
the house, and now the Thanksgiving
offering of the Lazearville people is
almost ready for occupancy. Though
invited to eat her dinner with several
of the people Of the town Mrs. Stocks
refused to do so and remained with the
carpenters, eating her Thanksgiving
dinner from their pals The depth
of her gratitude was sufficient pay
ment for their services and 1t was a
happy Thanksgiving day for the whole
town.
