scription paid by January 1,
l. Il.
To this end we hope every one
of our subscribers will look at
the date on the yellow printed

then see to it, if they are in
arrears, that their subscription
is paid by January 1.
Several hundred to whom We
sent statements the last few
times have remained as silent as
the tomb. We hope their silence
does not mean that they are dead
but if they are departed we
would be glad if their spirit
would appear at this Office and

not going to make it necessary
to publish a list of delinquent
subscribers in order to more
forclbly remind them of their
duty. Please let us hear from
you, friends, before we do some-
thing desperate. We need the
money you owe US and you ought
to pay it.
Yours Respectfully.

ment Post Co. of Lake City,
Iowa, closed a deal with Geo. w.

This enterprise is one that

editor of the COURIER and can
be seen at the southeast corner
OF the building occupied by the
Bank of Keytesville.
Mr.. Gardner expects to have

The literary and musical enter
tainment and banquet given by
the Odd Fellows lodge of Sails
bury the evening of December
IA, 1906, at their hall was, to put
it mildly, a great success. The
Odd Fellows were out in force,
with their wives, daughters and
friends, and the hall was filled
ey 8 O'Clock with smiling faces
and happy greetings of friends
and neighbors.
1t seemed that joy and sum
shine were depicted upon ever y
countenance, and that every one
had come out to spend a most
pleasant evening.
The hall was nicely decorated
and presented q neat appear.

The program consisted of
music. speeches, recitations, vo-
cal solos and duets, all of which
were rendered in q charming
and entertaining manner. There
was not q number on the pro.

plauded, and not q mistake
was made. All the participants
seemed to be in their happiest

the sweetest little singers in the
state. The audience goes wild
with enthusiasm when they sing.
Rev. H. A. Bolton, pastor of
the Baptist church at Salisbury
and an enthusiastic Odd Fellow,
made the principal address of the
evening on "Odd Fellowship" I"
which more than pleased the
audience.
After the entertainment the
crowd repaired to the dining.
nall at the T. J. Moore building,
which is a beautiful room, and
there, amidst mirth and glae,
partook of one of the most boun-
tiful feasts ever sat down to.
The vlands were prepared by the
ladies of the Christian church of
Salisbury who are world beaters
in furnishing choice edibles, and
to say that everything they
prepared was delicious is but
telling half the story. An or
chestra, composed of Wanger,
Haberly and Eadington, dis
coursed sweet music during the
banquet. Everything over, ali

many happy good. nights and
God bless you's, wishing for

"CUTICURA TREATMENT

"At all times and to all people l am willing to testify to the merits Of Cu- ticura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards 1t commenced to break out on my hands. Then 1t broke out on my limbs. l was advised to use salt and water, which 1 did, to no effect. 1 then went to a Surgeon, who commenced treating me with wash of borax. This treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease. then told him would go and see a phy- sician in Erie The reply was that ] could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that was too old (S0). 1 went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. I had read of the Gu ticura Remedies often. l was strongly tempted to give them a trial, so l sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent and continued taking the Resolvent until had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. was now getting better. took two baths q day, and at night let the lather of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. I am now cured.
 "The Cuticura treatment is blessing and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such curative.
