(From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him very severe diar-
rheoa, which it seemed almost impossible
to check. and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one small bottle
of Chamberlain collie, cholera and diar
rheoa remedy as last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling about
on the ground in great agony and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The season
for bowel disorders being at hand suggests
this item. Eor sale by Bennett.

Our people in this country must not
despair. Various criticisms are heard
from our enemies. Higher education,
they say, is failure. Our efforts to
elevate ourselves have been wrong in
theory. We have retrograded and so
on until the very din has bewildered
our own better Judgment. Let us take
heart of grace. These adverse criti-
cisms are false and unjust, and the
most cursory examination will demon

Negroes with high aims and untiring
industry. These men are fitting them
