A Good Thing

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR. A Boschee, q celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

Did You Get a
Statement?

The first of December we
sent statements to all our de-
linquent subscribers. Quite a
number have paid but there are
a large number we have not
heard from. Now, a word with
all of you. We sent the state
ments because WE NEED THE
MONEY. On January LIST,
1903, we have notes that will
be due that aggregate $1275.00
and we must PAY THEM or
"take to the woods" and as the
weather is rather bad, we don't
want to have to live out in the
woods, so we hope our subscrib-
ers will either come in and pay
or send the money in, as we
must raise the SlZl5.OO by
January LIST, 1903. This is a
case where the editor NEEDS
his friends, and we hope they
will rally to us and help us out
for we are in a tight box.
OUR FOREIGN SUBSCRIBE
Frs living outside of Iowa will
remember that their paper will
be cut off if it is not paid for up
to January 1, 1903. This is the
last notice we will give.

THE Mo. VALLEY TIMES may get
quite warmly partisan at times,
but it rarely gets so narrow as not
to be fair. This was evidenced by
the way it handled the banquet of
last week. Although this affair
was promoted by those who were
on the opposite side of the ques-
ton from that championed by the
TIMES, that paper hal a capable
representative at the feast and
gave it q fine write-up, not permit
ting any natural prejudices which
might exist to serve as an excuse
to belittle the event. The Mis-
souri, Valley News was not repre-
sented, but copied the Times
write-up without comment Wood

very near causing serious trouble

was not long until a lively fire was
