Congratulations.

John II. Cullom, editor of the Gar
land (Texas) News. has written n let
ter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: sixteen years
ago, when our child was Il baby, he
was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such n
reliable remedy for colds and Group
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our ba-
bies really like it. Another is that it
is not dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. l cOngratu-
late you upon the success of your
remedy" For sale by all druggists.

neighborhood, was a pleasant
caller at our Office yesterday.
He was en- route home from
Amarillo where he had taken
his young son to be examined
by the board of physicians
which met in that city Tuesday
and Wednesday. The boy has
been afflicted from child birth
with partial paralysis and Mr..
Sluder was desirious of obtain.
ing opinions from prominent
physicians as to the mode of
treatment. 1t was the opinion
of the board that the young man
would eventually ''out.grow"
the affection. Mr.. Sluder says
he will plant five or six acres in
cotton as an experiment
which will be done by most
of Randall county farmers this
year. He is of the opinion that
it will make from t to ! bale per
acre with the proper cultivation.
