When Amarillo Won.

G. T. Oliver, pioneer of the
plains, dropped into town yester-
day and spent few hours, not
neglecting The News in his rounds,
says the Claude News. Mr.. Oliver
resided at Washburn for several
years and labored earnestly to
make that the Queen City of the
Plains. At one time it looked like
the enterprising people there would
succeed but the fates were against
them and Amarillo carried off the
honors. Mr.. Oliver told US of a
number of our old time citizens.
Our old county surveyor, Granger,
is now holding a good position in
the navy department at Washing
ton, having recently returned from
Panama where he was chief en-
gineer of one of the sections Of
the canal; Dave Beckham is manag-
ing the Postal Telegraph Co., at
FL Paso; j. D. Scarborough, who
at one time was the presiding gent
lis over a saloon in our town, now
signs his name as president of the
Bank of Commerce at Wewoka, |.
T. Mr.. Oliver istnow one of the
prominent business men of Fort
Smith, Ark. He is looking well
and it would seem that time had
dealt gently with him since leaving
our county. He is here looking
after his real estate interests and
is well pleased to see the rapid
strides in the way of advancement.
The "whirligig of time" has made
many changes with the pioneers OF
the plains, and tits always a plea
sure to the The News to record
the prosperity of those who sought
their fortunes elsewhere as well
as those who remained.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-RoOt
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
