LOOK OUT FOR GERMS NOW.
Summer Months Call for Constant Vigil
ance and Use of Mi.O.na.

In the summer months constant
vigilance is necessary, or dangerous
disease germs will be absorbed from
food or drink.
The so-called summer complaints
aud bowel troubles do not come to
people with healthy stomach, for
Dame Nature kills the disease germs
with the natural juices secreted by
the healthy digestive organs.
Persons with weak stomach and
poor digestion In the summer season
live in constant fear OF germs Of dis
ease. Let these people use Mi-o-na
before each meal, aud the stomach
and the whole digestive system will
be strengthened so that disease
germs will have no effect whatever
You can eat what you want and all
you want without any fear Of indi
gestion OF bowel trouble, II you take
"A Mi-o-na tablet before each meal.
When there are pains or distress
after eating, headache, belching of
gases, sour food, and bad taste In the
mouth, dizziness, heart burn, specks
before the eyes, furred tongue, sleep
lessness aud debility or weakness,
II shows that the stomach needs the
help OF Mi-o-na. Just one little tab

fore each meal for "A few days, aud
you will regain perfect health and

OUR DINMlTT LETTER.
Castro County Booming Fine Crops
Ready TO Haryest-TaXabIe Values
Increasing.


Editors Bryan Eagle:
As IL has been some time since |
gave you the Castro county news,
| | will endeavor to do 80 now.
We are having some very pleas
ant weather at present. 1t has
been rather warm here this sum
mer. We think so much rain was
the cause. However, we haven't
had rain in three or four weeks,
and are beginning to need 1t on
late crops. Our old crops are
made, and we will soon be harvest
ing. We have already gathered
some Of our maize. We also fin
ished breaking wheat land today.
There is so much wheat aud oats
in the country to thrash that it
looks like the threshers will never
get to US in this neighborhood.
There was a cattle buyer at my
house this morning who had 10
acres in oats this year. He is
having it thrashed now, and says
it is turning out so bushels per
acre, and oats are selling in Here.
ford at 80 cts. per bushel. Isn't
that pretty good for a county like
this where the people in east Tex
a. think it never rains2 There
are crops growing here now that
would make your eyes water to
look at them. We will show wa.
termelons, pumpkins and kerr
shaws with the Brazos bottom.
Well, Castro county gave her
seventeenth annual picnic August
18th, and all had a pleasant time.
There were people here from Deaf
Smith, Palmer, Swisher, Lamb,
Jones and Bailey counties, that |
know, and can't say how many
more counties were represented by
people that ! didn't know.
The program of amusements
consisted Of speeches, base ball
games, baby show, doll show, eat.
ing and foot racing. Everyone
seemed to enjoy himself.

Association meets with the Dim

BRAzOs COUNTY DOING WELL.

At the last session Of the com.
missioners' court. Thursday Of last
week, after business was over,
Commissioner Edge and Judge
Board were heard by an Eagle re.
porter while informally discussing
the financial situation Of Brazos
county "then" and "now." Then"
refers to the time, seven years ago
this fall, when these two officials
came into office. Mr.. p. II. Ar
rington came in little before the
two gentlemen named, and all
three have been in the harness
ever since.
Without attempting exact fig
ures, but speaking in round mum.
bers, Brazos county, seven years
ago, had $4,000 or $l7 ,0O0 float
ing Indebtedness. The following
year on account of the flood dis.
asters $4,000 bonds had to he
issued to rebuild bridges all over
the county.
OF that floating Indebtedness,
none remains-all has been paid.
OF the $4,000 bonds, all are paid
but about $1,000. This $4,000
could be paid, if necessary, with
out crippling the finances Of the
county. In addition to this, 81, 800
was spent this year for part pay
for the Brazos river toll bridge,
and something for Bates ferry.
This is pretty good showing
for Brazos county's finsnancial
management during the term Of
the gentlemen named, and the four
other commissioners who, during
that time and at present, have had
a hand in the county's affairs.
r. J. Deems served throughout
the period named until last No.
vember. J. 5. Mooring and Dar-
by Cahill came in then. The
character Of the present court
is an earnest that the correct man
agement of the finances of the
county will be continued.

Expression of Gratitude.

In behalf of the members of the Meth. odist church and of the committee on music, wish to thank Mir. Stuart, our chorister, and the friends who so kindly rendered assistance to the choir, for their faithful and abundant labors that made possible a concert which received the highest praise of all who were present and which would do great credit to chorus choir of long standing and months of training. We regret exceedingly that the event was not more generally patronized es- pecially by the members of our own church, but we assure those who ex- pended so much time and labor, that, should they appear again in grand concert, the praises gained by them in the recent concert will secure for them large and enthusiastic hearing.
 Please repeat the event.

 The success of President Roosevelt's s efforts to promote peace between Rus sia and Japan is a triumph for that so-called "shirt-sleeve diplomacy" in- augurated by Secretary John Hay. FrankDess and directness are the chief attributes of the shirt-sleeve diplo- macy and when administered by Pres- ident Roosevelt, audiences also plays an important part. The Pres ident gave Russia no time to recover from the shock incident to the des- truction to her navy, or from the grief incident to the loss of numerous friends and brothers. He gave Japan no time to recover from that access of good feeling which naturally followed so sweeping victory and while Europe was dreaming of what might be, he suggested in unequivocal terms to both belligerents and that this was an excellent place to stop, and his suggestion appealed to both. It was the psychological moment and he grasped it.

The Albuquerque Journal would still have people believe that there is trace of sentiment in Arizona favor ing joint stathood. To prove this the Journal quotes some silly remarks of the Tucson Star. The fact is that New Mexico is about evenly decided on the joint statehood proposition while Arizona is practically unani- nous in opposition to the merger. It is not likely that congress will ignore the wishes of all the people in Arizona and half the people of New Mexico when the time again comes for state making. g.-Bisbee Review.
