SOUTH COUNTRY PROSPEROUS

Rev. Jesse B. HaSt0n, of Here
ford, writes the following account
of a trip to the south plains country
in a recent number of the Brand:
81 have just returned from a trip
via horse and buggy through Ran
dali, SwiSher, Hale and Castro
counties. Ny delight with the out
look has no meager bounds. A
finer country to drive over is not to
be found on the great, wide earth.
Not a "jog-hole" or stone was
found in all the road traverced. My
old horse went fifty miles a day
with perfect ease.
More pleasant towns than the
county seats of these counties, it
would be hard to find. They are
second only to Hereford

should like to say two things about
this good Plains country:

earth is to be found as uniformly

an audience as ever spoke to in
Galveston or San Francisco. The
conditions have brought a most Sc
lect class OF people with means,
education and sobriety. The chill

what saloon means. Their parents
came here to make homeS-the
right kind of homes. 1t is TO be de-
voutly hoped that our citizens will
vigilantly see to it that these things
shall always be said of the country.
A large rise in land values viii come
soon; then the temptation to intro
duce low.tlung enterprises and vic
ious and metropolitan population
and habits will also come.
Second. With proper crops and
proper cultivation, this is as good
farming country as anybody'S eoun-
try. My observation is that it all
depends upon early deep blowing

of what has been planted. Cotton

Folsom, S. DIN these days when
so many sudden deaths are reported
from Heart Failure and various forms
of Heart Disease, it will be good news
to many to learn that there is a never
falling remedy for every form Of Heart
Trouble.
Mrs. H. D. Hyde, of this place, was
troubled for years with a pain in her
heart which distressed her a great
deal. She had tried many remedies,
but had not succeeded in finding any
thing that would help her until at last
she began a treatment of DOdd's Kid
ney Pills and this very soOn relieved
her and she has not had a single pain
or any distress in the region Of the
heart since. She says: Il cannot say
too much in praise of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. They are the greatest heart
medicine l have ever used. 1 was
troubled for over three years with a
severe pain in my heart, which entirely
disappeared after a short treatment of
