FTOm the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his campaign
upon his claim. he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible 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's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea 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 a
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
complete cure and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for bow

Attention
arrIlers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both lesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.
