His Last Hope Realized

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first OPENINGS of okla
homa to settlers in 1899, the editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made the
big race one fine day in April. Dur-
ing his travelling about and after
wards his camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which seemed almost impos
sible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad that he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chaberlain's IS Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last
hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
grass in great agony, and in a few
minntes the dose was repeated The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for a fortnight. That one little
worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggest this item. For sale

AS an old veteran, was in hopes
that a Post of the U. V. Union would

washed away.
State Secretary Board of Agricul-
ture Franklin Dye, after a visit to

the truck farmers of that section are
loud in their complaint of the depre-

tect the farmers from their ravages.
Just put them on the shooting list and
that will end their trespasses.
Some time ago an Aberstown

ing it.
And so some one is using a net in
fishing and pretend not to know the
law. Well, Well, and then to think
no one saw them. Better put that
net away. That is straight tip.

DINGMAN's FERRY.

Looking over the fields since the
late rains we see coming up with
yellow leaves the result Of cold.
Worms, ants and other insects are
plentiful and doing considerable
damage. There is hope, however,
for a good crop yet IL the weather
is warm and favorable and II far
mers make determined efforts to
destroy the pests. Frequent work
ing, fertilizing with salt, lime or
kainit in the hills will drive away
the destructive insects and give the
plants strength and vigor. If left
to take care Of itself the crop will be
a failure.
Oats look poorly along the river,
but on the hill on good ground they
appear fairly we'll and a reasonable
crop may be expected. Much that
had not sprouted is now coming up.
Potatoes have struggled nobly for
existence and came out Of the dry
spell looking tolerably we'll and
healthy. Some fields are very un-
even, but good cultivation and a
little tonic may yet bring q good
crop. From appearances this town
ship seems to be one of the best In
this section for farmers. Let them
take good care of growing crops and
show that they are up to date.
There have been no forest fires in
this township this spring. We we're
fortunate in being spared.
G. B. Van Auken has opened his

Isaac Smith is 80 improved in
health that he can now walk about
his house.
Boarders are beginning to populate
in town for the summer.
Butter is 25s a pound here but the
stores do not like to buy as there is
little demand until boarders come.
Our merchants have not provided
good storage places for it and as
considerable butter is not sufficient
ly worked 1t soon becomes rancid
In olden times June butter was
golden, solid and packed in firkins
would keep sweet and fresh for
months. Then farmers wives used
plenty Of elbow grease and worked
every bit of whey out of the butter.
This and salt is one of the secrets Of
good sweet butter.
Competition is the life of trade.
A little better grade of goods and
little lower prices would prove to
our merchants that they could keep
the cash here instead of having it
go elsewhere. Many of our farmers
would buy few bags of kainit

here.
High water has ended shad fishing
which has been good this spring.
