might begin on itself by keep

News: Early in the spring my
wife and | were taken with
diarrhoea and so severe were
the pains that we called a ply
sician who prescribed for us,
but his medicines failed to give
any relief. A friend who had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
on hand gave each of us a dose
and we at once felt the effects.
| procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we
were entirely cured. 1t is a
wonderful remedy and should
be found in every household.

Truck farming in Mississippi is
becoming an extensive industry
and those sections of the state
that have been engaged in it long
enough To establish trade and
learn just what truck is best adapt
ed TO their section are realizing
handsome returns. 1t was begun
here last season and it is hoped
no discouragements on the initial
venture will operate To decrease
the acreage this year. No more
auspicious prospects, both for fa-
vorable weather conditions and a
market has ever presented itself to
this section, and it is hoped our
people will reap benefit by raising
garden products for consumption
by the ST. Louis Exposition
crowds.

Friends Of the family of DR.

from injuries sustained in n street
car accident ut Memphis, will be
glad TO learn that his heirs have
won the suit against the Standard

Company, with the result that they
will receive something more than
$4,000 from the company.
The suit had gone through the
lower courts until it reached the
United. States Court of Appeals
where its settlement Is finality.
DR.. Sale, for long while, was one
of Aberdeen's most esteemed and
honored citizens, and the good
fortune that has fallen to his sur
viving family is gratifying to the
citizens Of Aberdeen and the
county.

Write To Old Friends.

Many of the readers of this pa
per have friends and old aequaint-
ances in other states that they
would like to have interested in
the Southwest. Many of our read
ers have come from other states
and have old neighbors that they
would like to haze for neighbors
again. Many of them, are no
doubt. thinking of moving to SON 2
other locality whether you are
aware of it or not.
Perhaps a word from you would
turn the scale in favor of your To-
cality. Perhaps friendly letter
from you. telling something of the
resources and opportunities of
your country would induce them
TO come and be the means of max
ing them neighbors of yours once
more. Presumably you are salts
fed with your condition, or you
would not be living here; if YOU
like it, your friends would proba-
bly, like it. Therefore. you would
be doing them a great kindness in
telling them about it, and why it
is a good place to live. The OBJ
ject of this article is to suggest to
our readers that if they will write
to the person whom they think
they might induce TO locate in this
country, material assistance will be
rendered in the upbuilding of this
community.
If you can send some good de-
matter do it. Your real
estate men or railroad agent may
be abi, to furnish you with print
ed matter that will be convincing.
or if you will write to the Passen-
ger Traffic Department. Frisco
System, Saint Louis, descriptive
literature will be sent with abso-
lutely no cost to you. Let our
readers consider these points. and
write to old friends at once 1t
will be pleasant to renew old ac-
Iuaintances in this way, and it
may result in bringing more good
people into the country. Try it.

it isn't really consumption SO

forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
