The Year Just Closed
WILL NEVER Be FORGOTTEN
BY THOSE TO WHOM
PAINE'S CElEoY
COMPOUND
Gave New Life and Happiness

The year just closed has been a
memorable one for Paine's Celery
Compound. A multitude of men
and women weakened, nervous.
rundown and suffering the pains
and agonies of disease, have had
their burdens removed and their
feet firmly planted on the solid
rock of health.
Stirring political events of the
past year, to colossal efforts of trusts
and monopolies, the recent miners
strike, and other notable events will
he quite forgotten in a few weeks or
months. Not so with the strength
after weakness, the new life after
years of suffering, the robust health
after wasting disease, the permanent
cure after the verdict of "incurable"
pronounced by the physician. These
glorious remembrances and bless
ings, and the happy assurance that
Paine's Celery Compound "makes
sick people well, " will be indelibly
craven on the mind as long as life
lasts.
The victories of Paine's Celery
Compound over disease in the past
year are supported by thousands of
testimonial letters from the best
people of the land. Medical journals
have noted the blessed work, and
have been compelled TO
endorse the life-saving virtues of
carth's best medicine. 1t matters
not, dear reader, how bad your case
may he, give Paine's Celery Com
pound an honest trial, and you will
surely share the blessings it has
bestowed on others.

HI0ALG0 CGUETY'S
BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Splendid Results at Closner Sugar
Plantation-Important Inven-
ton to Free Boilers from
Sediment.
To The HERALD.

- a II Z lEAAl-U.
HidaIgo, Texas, January b
Prospects for 1903 in Hidalgo coun
ty are most promising. The fin,
rains OF November and December
thoroughly soaked the ground, and
day before yesterday fine soaking
rain set in and has continued with
scarcely any intermission until this
morning. Nearly all the farmers
along the river are ready to COM
mence planting as soon as the
weather permits, and, with one or
two good rains between now and
next June abundant crops are as
sured.
The Closner sugar mill and plan
tation are in most prosperous con-
dition. The estimated output OF
sugar this season will reach 100000
pounds, and the quality is better
than that of last year, being equal
to any foreign sugar that ever comes
to this market. As an evidence OF
the adaptability of the lower Rio
Grande country for sugar, Mr.
Closner is grinding cane this season
that was planted seven years ago,
and he thinks ne can cut from it
two seasons more.
Owing to the excessive drouth
which prevailed here so long, forage
for work animals has been exceed
ingly scarce, and has presented a
serious problem. Bnt Mr.. Ciosner
has solved it so far as his work is
concerned. He preserves all the
skimmings from the sugar boilers
and runs it into treughs, where the
work animals are allowed free &C
cess to it, and they not only stand
the hard work required of them, but
they fatten on it.
E. NJ. Ruthven, the engineer at
the Closner plantation, has made
most important discovery, and, like
nearly all useful discoveries, he did
it accidentally. 1t is a secret yet,
as Mr.. Ruthven has not applied for
a patent, but will do so. 1t is de-
vice for keeping steam boilers and
flues entirely free from sediment,
no matter what kind of water is
used in them. 1t is not a So-called
"boiler compound" of which there
are many on the market, all more
or less unsatisfactory. Mr.. Ruth
vun's invention can be applied to
any kind of boiler, large or small,
portable or stationary, and the cost
need not exceed 80 cents. That it
will do its work has been fully de-
monstrated, and a boiler to which
it is applied will be perfectly free
from all sediment as long as it is in
use. This will certainly be great
boon to all persons and corporations
who use steam boilers, and it IS
hoped that the inventor will soon
arrange to place it on the market.
T. J. Hooks, who purchased the
La Blanca tract below here. which
contains some 10000 acres, is hard
at work clearing land, and expects
his machinery to arrive in a short
time. He will open rice and sugar
plantation, and his location is most
favorable for any kind of planta-
ton.
On the whole, prospects in all
lines for Hidalgo county are good,
and those who are fortunate enough
to get in on the ground floor will
reap a harvest.

from hypocrisy. he has flung down the
veil. and 10. there stands naked truth.
