dams he was taking from their old
homes.
Black Hawk refused to move west
with the bulk Of his nation" He call
ed on the Sacs and Foxes to rally to
his standard and to attack the white
men The Council had practically de-
cided to do so. when Keokuk arose
and by a marvellous eloquent speech
persuaded the bulk of the nation to
keep the peace. His pleas are said to
have held back other tribes from join.
Ing the confederation. Thus Black
Hawk went to war against the Govern
ment with only small part of the
force he would otherwise have had.
keokuk was beginning to pay for the
blow Black Hawk had struck him.
And, as the wars terrible death list
showed, the debt was paid by many
an innocent man-both red and white
las well as by Black Hawk himself.
Black Hawk was totally routed by
the Government troops late in 1892
and was taken captive. While his en-
envy was in prison Keokuk made his
own position SO strong with Indians
and Washington authorities alike that
he was appointed by the President as
head chief of all his nation" He
lived in royal state at village on the
site of the present city of Keokuk. Ia.
Black Hawk returned from captivity
in 1888, found himself deposed, sup
planted and utterly subjagated by the
willy diplomat whom he had once
struck across the face
The local Indian official, Major Car
land. at a banquet given In ho1lor of
Balck Hawks release, told the return
ed captive that the President desired
him henceforth to obey Keokuk's ord
ers in all things. Black Hawk in fury
at this GROWING insult, declared he
would obey no one. Keokuk smiled
| blandly and said: "Our brother is
/ cd Let us forget what he has just
/ said."
Maddened. helpless before the smil-
ing diplomacy of his foe, Black Hawk
! gave the impression of being IN
worthy the loving kindness of his
great and good friend, Keokuk But
members Of Black Hawks former band
understood the situation and sided
with their old chieftain. Between
them and Keokuk's followers there
was always ill-feeling, and often biocd-
shed. Soon afterward Black Hawk,
brokenhearted at his treatment, died.
Il Keokuk had paid the debt of the
blow In full. He settled down on a
i foity-mile Iowa River estate given him
by the government, and prepared to
enjoy the fruits of his long years of
scheming.
But those who had loved the brave
unlucky Black Hawk, did not consider
the account squared. They bidded
their time, however, and let Keokuk

THEY INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary CathartiGs and Pills and
Harsh PhYSiC Cause Distress
ing Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for child
ren. Only the very gentlest bowel
medicine should ever be given ex-
cept in emerfency cases. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good.
They cause gripping, nausea and
other distressing after-efects that
are frequently Notwithstanding
and Iife.lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell 1t on our guarantee of
money hack in every instance
where it fails to give entire satis-
faction, and we urge all in need of
such medicine to try it at our risk.
RexalI Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless. As an
active agent, it embraces the val
liable qualities of the best known
intestinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly
prompt and agreeable In action,
may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause diarrhoea,
nausea, gripping, excessive looseness
or other undesirable effects. They
have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which
they come in contact, act as a posi-
tive and regulative tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel
and its dry mucous lining; remove
irritation, overcome weakness,
tone and strengthen the nerves and
restore the bowels and associate
organs to more vigorous and heal
thy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely re-
lieve constipation, except Wnen OF
a surgical character They also
tend to overcome the necessity of
constantly taking laxatives to keep
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose so good as Rexall Or
derlies, especially for children, aged
and delicate persons. They are
prepared in tablet form, In two
sizes of PACKAGES: IL tablets 10
cents, and 36 tablets 81 cents.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies In Port Gibson only at
our store.

Soil Fertility.

Every acre of the land in this
state can easily be made TO yieid
three times its present average pro
duction. Diversified farming and
stock-raising will bring it about.
Diversified farming means rotation
of crops or rather will likely rause
the farmer to rotate his crops. The
rotation of crops and the growing
of legumInous crops will fill the
soil full of humus aud nitrogen. A
soil we'll drained, thoroughly pull
verized for say eight inches. and
full of humus and nitrogen. phos-
phoric acid. aud potash is in con.
dition to produce maximum crops
If we make our soils rich, we
will very likely be rich; if our soils
are poor, it is impossible for us to
be prosperous. The contidual cul-
tivation of cotton means poor land.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1909-12-16
Pastures and Live Stock.


I would like to burn into the
brain of every Mississippi farmer
the fact that diversified agricul-
ture and stock-raising will make
this State the wealthiest In the I'm
ion. 1t will that every building
site with good homes; good church
es will be builtEin every neighbor-
hood; large and comfortable school
houses will be found in reach OF
every child; large prosperous
towns and cities will spring up; a
happy contented people will reside
here. 49,
A mild climate, cheap lands,
good pastures for at least ten
mouths in the year, all kinds of
fat and muscle forming foods, and
markets for live stock forces the
conclusion that this State was in
tended by nature as a great state.
1t is not necessary to build expen-
sive barns and house the stock for
five. or six months. The neces-
sary investment in land is, small
and as much and as good grass can
be grown per acre as can be grown
in any state in the Union.
We can produce just as much
and Just as good corn per acre as
was ever gathered in field. Since
the bows of this state heve obtain
ed such excellent results, no man
will deny this statement. Corn
furnishes the least expensive of the
nutrients and that is carbonhy-
drates. Protein is worth from two
to two and ope-half as much per
pound as stock food as carbonhy-
drates. We have the cottonseed
meal, peavine hay, lespedeza, Glow
er. peanut, vetch, and other pro-
tein feeds. No spot on the face OF
the earth can produce cheaper pro-
tein than Mississippi. Two crops OF
peas can be grown in one year, one
crop of peas and crop OF vetch or
some winter clover can be grown
on the same land i'll one year.
The leguminous crops will grow
we'll and WELD abundantly upon
land that will not yield profitable
crop of corn. These legumes will
produce good crops on poor land and
at the same time rapidly increase ifs
fertility. No living man can make
corn on poor land. And corn rap
Idly reduces the fertility of the
soil. Let us plant leguminouS
crops on our poor lands, increase
the nitrogen and humus content
and obtain large yields of feed
stuffs rich in protein the most val
liable of the nutrients in feeds.
We can raise the protein and in
addition we can raise corn. sorghum.
potatoes. rape. artichokes, and other

feeds very rich III carbohydrates
or fat producing feeds. It is not
necessary for us to purchase feed
as we have feed rich in carbonhy-
and also feeds rich in protein. We
can mix our own feeds. We can
feed properly balanced rations with
ont buying feed of any kind.
It is a regrettable fact that we do
not appreciate the value of bermu-
da grass. It Is wonderful grass.
1t is In fact the king of pasture
grasses. An acre of bermuda grass
will furnish more pasture than any
other grass, not even excepting al
falfa. Many farmers In this state
plow up this most valuable pasture
grass every year In order to. raise
say one-third bale of cotton per
acre. In order to raise stock sue
cessfully to sell and evade the e.
normous expense of fertilizer bills
and at the same tine rapidly in.
crease the producuveneSs OF the
soil, it is necessary to grow Der:
muda grass. It is true that in some
sections of the state that carpet
grass will take the plaLe of bermu-
da grass. However. it is advisable
to have pastures well sodded in ber-
muda grass.
Oats and vetch, rye and vetch,
barley and vetch or oats, rye. or
barley with one OF the winter
clovers furnish most excellent
winter and early spring pasture.
Let MS get pure bred males of
every kind. Good jacks, good
stations, rams. boars. bulls are
needed on every farm. The boil
weeviI is here aud it is absolutely
necessary for us to grow good live
stock on our farms. Let us begin
now and gradually grow into the
business.
