The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
IS the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength Wy building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure Send for list

AMERICAN 0lLFIELDS
BRINGS IN BIG WELL

A big gusher has been brought in
on the property of the American Oil
fields company, on section 32-32-24, in
the Midway field. The big well is an
500 barrel property of "a gravity oil.
Owing to the fact that facilities were
not at hand for marketing the on, the
American company did not want to
bring in the big well at this time, but
the new gusher broke away from them
early Wednesday morning. The we'll
was capped however, and is not flow
ing at the present time, according to
other advices received.
J.. c. Yancey recently paid the record
price of $500 an acre for twenty acres
of raw land in this vicinity, and from
this latest development 1t would seem
that he got a bargain. The American
Onfelds company recently purchased
property in sections 81 and 30 at a
reported price of $1,250,OOO.
In section 81, the company recently
tapped an oil strata and stopped drill
ing after finding the "a gravity oil for
the reason that they were not ready
to care for the big production. They
have now drilled into the same sand
in section 80, adjoining. and it was
the well in this sand that broke loose
Wednesday morning spouting "a gray
ity oil.
