Gospel Meetings.

Special Gospel Meetings are to begin
in the Custer Methodist Episcopal
church, the first Sunday after Easter,
April 10, at IL o'clock a. m. Every
Christian person, young and old in the
community is most earnestly solicited to
take part in the coming meetings, for the
salvation of men, and for the glory of
God. My Christian friend, let us pray
and work together that this special effort
of gospel service shall not only be of
value to the Methodist Episcopal church,
but truly a benediction to every other
church in Custer, and also to every home
in all the community.
The School of Bible Study will be held
during the continuance of the meetings
on the following days: Tuesday, We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday at 4:lO to
5 o'clock p. M. This will give oppor-
tunity for those who have the care ofthe
home to spend a most profitable hour
between dinner and supper, and also
permit those of the public schools who
are interested to come in for the study
of Gods word. Remember the school is
free and anyone in the community de-
sirious of knowing more and under
standing better the deep things of Gods
word, will indeed be most welcome.
Yours in His name,
REV. w. r. JEFFREY,
Pastor VI. E, church.

School Notes.

The attendance this week has not been
as good as usual and the most Of those
pupils who we're able to be at school
have very pad colds. This weather
seem to breed colds and the recitations
are almost stopped sometimes by the
coughing.
The Literature class have been read
ing miscellaneous poems since they I'm
ished "The Vision of Sir Launfal," but
O Whittier's "Snow Bound" is being
read to them.
Most of the bookkeeping class have
finished the Shipment and Consignment
business. Before beginning a new sci
they will have a test upon all the work
which they have passed over.
The geometry class are doing much
better work owing to a review.
Some of the boys from the Second In
termediate room sang at the Wednesday
chapel exercises. A recitation was also
rendered. The program was very much
enjoyed.
Ford and Mary Heumphreus have
been absent from school this week, or
the sick list.
There are now but six weeks of schoo
and much hard work is expected from
the pupils during that time.
.'Chimes of the school bell now remind US
We must always be on time
For IL late To Chapel Exercises
We must miss the song and rhyme.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by one Bottle OF Chamberlain
Cough RamedY.

Cured by one Bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) I actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
b~erlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, n. Y. "This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a t~easpoonful
Of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night l would
take a dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and / would 60 to sleep perfectly
free from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted as
a most agreeable surprise is putting il
very mildly. / had no idea that it would
or could knock out the grip, simply be-
cause 1 had never tried it for such 9
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the rem
edy caused it to not only be Of less dur
alton, but the pains were far less severe
and l had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by all druggists.

Perry Bertschy arrived from Denver
on the evening train Wednesday. He
stopped off to shake hands with his
many old friends, and then proceeded
to his home near Hill City. Perry is
looking well but we were grieved to
learn that his father Is in a sanitarium
at Battle Creek, Michigan, for treatment
for cancer of the stomach. This is a
serious complaint, but they think that
when they have administered the prop
er remedies to build up and strengthen
his system, they may then perform An
operation and remove the cancer sue
cessfully. We hope it may be so. 1t is
for this reason that Perry did not 60 to
Mexico with the rest of the officers of
the mining company Of which he 10

ranch for several weeks, or long enough
to see to the putting in of the crop and
then return to his duties where his COM

Sanford, died from the effects of an
operation for tumor performed in Den
yer on April 4th. Mr.. Sanford is a Con-

who made many pleasant acquaintance
and lasting friends among our people.
At this time they explored the Hills

very many of the most interesting
scenes. These were afterwards, with
descriptive note, published in book form
and formed a very interesting volume.
Mr.. Sanford has the sympathy of very
many friends in the Black Hills who
sincerely condole with him in this, the

Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases we have yet
to learn of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclusive
" that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. 1t will cure a cold
or an attack of the grip in less time than
any other treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.
