Best mich COW in town for sale by
27tf D. H. Nicely.
The Elbert County tribune., 1905-10-26

A swindle that is said to have entrap-
ped many farmers during the past few
months is being worked in various parts
of the country. The farmer receives a
letter asking him to list his farm for
sale. According to the blanks furnished
the farmer asks the firm to try and sell
his place by advertising it for months,
and agrees to pay the firm 80 cents an
acre when they have fulfilled their part
of the agreement. On close examination
it is found that the tirq does nothing
but agree to advertise THE farm and
nothing is said as to how, what extent,
or where it will be advertised. When
ever the advertising is done the commits
sion is due, whether a purchaser has
been found or not. Farmers who
have signed this kind of contract have
been advised by their attorneys to settle
on the best terms they can obtain from
the sharkers.

Don't tie yourself or your money up.
Don't risk all your savings in any scheme,
no matter how much it may promise.
Don't invest your hard earned money in
anything without first making thor
ough and searching investigation, advis-
.es Orison Sweet Marden, in Success. Do
not be misled by those who tell you that
it is snow or never and that, if you
wait, you are liable to lose the best thing
that ever came to you. Make up your
mind that if you lose your money you will
not lose your head, and that you will not
invest in anything until you thoroughly
understand all aboutit There are plen-
ty of good things waiting. II you miss
one, there are hundreds of others. Peo-
pie will tell you that the opportunity
will go by and that you will lose great
chance to make money if you do not act
promptly. But take your time and in
vestigate. Make it cast-iron rule never
to invest in any enterprise until you have
gone to the very bottom of it, and, if it
is not so sound that level headed men
will put money into it, do not touch it.
The habit of investigating before you
embark in any business will be happi-
ness protector, and an ambition -protec-
tor as well.

OUR NATIONAL DiscoNTENT.

"The signs multiply says Charles E.
Russell, in the Foreword to his new ser
les of articles, "Soldiers of the Common
Good, in the November Everybody's,
shat Americans are beginning to weary
OF these things, of municipal misgovern-
ment, the worst in the world. of the un-
kempt and barbarous aspect of our cities,
the selfish attitude of public officers,
and the perversion of all things good by
the power of money.
I'VE are restless under a Senate own
ed body and soul by the railroad and
financial interests, under a system that
allows rich men to dodge taxes and
evade laws. As a nation we are heartily
sick of the rule of bribery in our legisla-
lures, Doodle in our city councils, and
graft in our business. We begin to feel
that system that compels us to pay div
idends on fictitious and watered stocks
and to furnish the counters wherewith
gamblers play the games of high finance
has something in it utterly and hopeless.
ly wrong.
"We have learned from Mr.. Lawson
and from countless examples in our dai-
ly affairs how dangerous it is to let these
conditions go on-dangerous for our
selves and for the men that profit from
them. We have grown familiar with
the spectacle of men of good instincts
and naturally good character, men who
were kindly, tolerant, and generous
transformed into mad devils by the op
portunity of unlimited money getting
and the craze for power; transformed sc
that they will stop at no crime and balk
at no mean and dirty device to augment
their fortunes. The country is intensely
dissatisfied with situation that makes
these crimes not only possible but tri
umphant."

Denver, Colo. October 10. 100

Denver, Colo, October 10, 1905.
To Sockmen:
In view of the fact that many stock
men are still using unrecorded brands
on their stock, thus being deprived of
the benefits of the present stock laws, it
is deemed advisable to call attention to
the following synopsis of some of the
provisions of the present stock laws:
Section 2 of the present Brand Law
provides that, in all suits at law or in
equity, or in any criminal proceeding,
when the title to animals is involved, or
property to be proved, certified copy of
the record of the brand shall be prima
facie evidence Of the ownership of such
animal by the person whose brand it
may be.
Sections 2, 3, and s Of the present
Estray Laws provide that when any per-
son shall take up an estray, written
description of such animal shall be mail
ed to the Secretary of the State Board
of Stock Inspection Commissioners at
Denver. III the name of the owner can
be determined from the state Brand Rec
ords, he shall notify him of the taking up.
In case the owner cannot be determined,
/ description of the estray shall be pub
lished, etc. If said estray is not claimed
within ten days after the last publica-
ton of the advertisement, it shall be sold
and a bill of sale given to the purchaser.
Such bill of sale shall be a legal and
valid title TO said estray.

A Judicious Inquiry.

A well known travelling man who visits
the drug trade says he has often heard
druggists inquire of customers who ask
ed for cough medicine, whether it was
wanted for child or for an adult. and il
for child they almost invariably rec
omended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that it al
ways cures. There is not the least dan
ger in giving it. and for coughs, colds
and Group it is unsurpassed. For sale
