Morales Building & Loan Association.

Nogales pu"u"e LUG" HSSOS'aton'
 Last week there was presented in TIE OASIS the annual statement of the Nogales Building & Loan Association, which was handed in the late to receive specific mention. Attention is called to it this week as matter of special interest to all who have confidence in the standing and stability of Nogales. The statement shows the resources of the Association to be $131 .443. of which large sum $125, ,660 are loans secured on valuable improved real estate in the loan of Nogales, all of which is worth a great deal more than the membranes the Association holds upon the separate parcels. The remainder of the total given includes cash on hand, mat. ured interest, premiums, etc. The statement shows also that the cash receipts during the year have ex- Ceeded $59,000. The book value of the shares in the various series is also matter of real interest, to learn which the reader is invited to turn to the statement itself, which will be found in another column. Already seven series of shares have matured and been can- celled, and there are now in various stages of payment eighteen other series, some closely approaching maturity, others new and just started in the unerring process of profitable accumulation. The seven series cancelled represent many comfortable homes in the line city, paid for all by monthly payments that were just about what would have been the cost of rent of the same building. And most of those in the uncancelled series represent such homes that will be all paid out in time in the same way. Without doubt this we'll managed Associa- tlon has been very valuable factor in the upbuilding of Nogales.

wonderful. My nerves have been quiet
ed, my hearing is much improved, and l
feel like new woman.
II cannot say too much for these won
derful remedies, for they have made me
we'll again, so that may now enjoy life
like used to before was sick"
Among the many callers yesterday was
Mr.. George P. Lintz, 300 Center Street,
who had been a sufferer from stomach
trouble for many years. He said:
81 suffered several years from indi-
gestion and stomach trouble. At times
was very weak and nervous, had dizzy
spells, headache and felt tired and miser-
able nearly all the time. Sleep at night
gave me no strength and l was always
tired in the morning. Ny appetite was
also impaired; once in while l could
eat good meal, but most of the time l
had no desire for food.
"One day l saw the advertisement OF
Cooper and read of his remedies. went
at once to get the medicine, and after l
had taken few doses was relieved OF
an enormous tapeworm. Now l know
what caused my suffering. My stomach
feels easy now, as II great weight had
been removed, and my health improved
rapidly. have good appetite and am
completely restored in strength.
II am very thankful to Mr.. Cooper for
all that his medicine has done for me,
and l heartily recommend it to ali per-
sons who feel exhausted, and are prob
ably troubled as was.
"It has done all that has been claimed
for it in my case and has helped me
where all other medicines failed"
Hundreds of people are daily calling tc
see Mr.. Cooper with the same story Of
restored health, strength and happiness
which only proves that all that has been
said and written about the medicine !,
undoubtedly true.

For Delegate to Chicago.

Editor Democrat:
We understand that John S. Harlow
of Dixfield has consented to have his
name used as a delegate to the Chicago
Convention TO nominate presidential
candidate. All have known Mr.. Harlow
for a great many years to be shrewd
business manager. Although he claims
to be no politician we feel that man
who in his own native village has been
able, by his own efforts and industry, tC
accumulate a property in real estate that
makes him the largest real estate tax
payer in this vicinity, and at the same
time acquire the respect and esteem OF
his neighbors and acquaintance, is q
very good man to select as candidate
at that convention.
Mr.. Harlow, although not political
wire pulling politician, has held the
Office of county attorney for Oxford
County and chairman of the county
committee and served on both district
and state committee and has also served
one term in the Senate, and all feel sure
that if elected as delegate to the
Chicago Convention he will fill the
position with the same satisfaction that
he has done in his other offices that the
people have been willing to bestow up,
on him for his public and progressive
interest in any and everything that per
tainS to the up-building of his fellow
man and the town in which he resides.
Yours truly,
BENJAMIN A. SwASEY, Chairman
Republican County Committee.

For the past several weeks the famous
Cooper Remedies have been selling In
quantities that far surpass anything ever
introduced here. F. A. Shurtleff & Co.,

ment to the interest displayed by local
people in the work of Mr.. Cooper 10
Chicago, the following account Of which

During the past two weeks hundreds

MIR. Swasey is in the Field.

Hon. John P. Swasey of Canton, who
has had the matter under consideration,
announces definitely that he is candi-

Representative to Congress from the
Second Maine District. This announce
ment gives much satisfaction to Mr..
Swasey's friends. He will have the solid
support of Oxford County, which is by
considerable the largest factor in Repub-
lican success in the district, and while
there are a number of other candidates
in the district, certainly no one of them
will go into the convention with any
thing like the support back of him which
Mr.. Swasey will have. He has had
numerous letters urging his candidacy
from prominent Republicans in other
counties of the district which have candi-
dates of their own.

And did not hurry back.
