SChnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
~ Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
~ The Imitation Brands Have SChnapps
=. Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is Aue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made SO much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-11-02

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this f1ue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in sc. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and I5c. plugs.

An Informal Gathering.

In accordance with an old custom
in our family for many years past,
as many as could met by appoint
ment one day last week in Fulton
County, Ky, Ole and half miles
west of Moscow, at the old Luten
Spring, owned by D. A. Luten, of
Union City, to enjoy day of hunt
ing, fishing, feasting and nut gath
ering, for which these yearly meet
ings are noted. Equally enjoyable
is the clear mineral spring beside
which many camp fire has reflect
ed the faces of old and young who
have enjoyed the water babbliDg
up from its cool depths or drank
again and again the splendid cof-
tee so famous when made of this
water. The old homestead seems
deserted now, but it is sweet and
sacred custom to meet as often
as possible in the shade of the
old hickory trees, with the wind
swaying the branches of the cy-
press, the willow, the blackberry
and gum, among which run the
grape vines hanging with Baicy
frnit.
Generally on this day the sqnir-
rels stay ON the tops of the high
est trees and the fish seek the low |
est depths of the creek, for they |
seem to know or hear a mighty |
nimrod or a patient Isaac Walton
roaming about. The wind blew,
the nuts fell; we gathered baskets
to overlooking, we filed our sacks,
then, tired and hungry,we met with
one accord on the old campground,
where each enjoyed the feast spread
in picnic fashion by the brothers,
sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins
of our happy family. Such FEAST
How the children enjoyed it. Twas
good to be child again.
In the afternoon some resumed /
nutting, the children played hide
and seek, others sat around the
campfire in the sunshine telling
stories of life as we find it touch
ing the labor question, the servant
problem, household economies; re-
GREETING the absence of some of our
family on account of illness or BUSH
ness, or otherwise; speaking ten
DERBY of those who will never meet
with us again on the banks of the
Bayou de Chen.
When the sun was far in the west
we babe each other pleasant good
bye, expressing wish to meet
again next year with as fine day,
a larger crowd and enjoy even more
the time, occasion and place.
As far as we remember the fol-
lowing is a list of those present:

FILLS LAKE FOR GRADE
Northern Pacific Overcomes Extraordi

Frazee, Mimi, Sept. 1s.-The new
double track Of the Northern Pacific
main line between New York Mills and
Frazee is in use, and on Sunday large
gang Of men laid the steel rails on the
new roadbed between Frazee and the
McDougall camp northwest Of Frazee.
The double track northwest of Nc
Hugh is also in use. * *
A great difficulty in the construction
Of the double track, which seemed i'm
possible to overcome, has at last be-

northwest Of Frazee ran thru Harold
lake. The work across this lake was
let to McDougall & Sons Of Milwaukee,
who have about 100 men, two large
steam shovels and several small en-
gines at work. Seventy -fve-foot piling
would not stand erect in the lake and
the task Of filing the lake bottom for
a grade was begun. Hundreds Of thous-
ands Of cubic feet Of sand and stones
have been tipped into the lake, but
only recently has any noticeable effect

The settlers movement into the
northwest for 1906 has been the great

Americans from other states, as foreign
immigration has to a large extent been
taken up by the big eastern cities.
Farmers in the middle states have
sold their properties at profit and
have spread the money over much
larger acreage in the northwest, where
land is cheaper. In North Dakota the
movement has been the largest for ten
years. Summer registrations at the
land agencies reached 5000 a month.
and many Of the settlers had already
bought land from dealers.
The movement to Montana, Idaho and
Washington has been remarkably heavy
this year. Washington undoubtedly has
draw more settlers than North Dakota

inces in the Canadian northwest have
also. While South. Dakota was tagging
