Purity Gives Power.

There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood Is
the greater is the power Of the sys-
tenn to remove the disease and the
less the liability to contact it. Per-
sons whose blood is in good condition
are much less likely to taks cold or
to be long troubled with it, or to
catch any contagious or infectious
disease, than are those whose blood
is impure and therefore impoverish-
ed and lacking in vitality. The best
medicine for purifying the blood i
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persons suf-
fering from any blood disease or any
want Of tone in the system are urged
to give this medicine a trial. Il is
especially useful at this time Of year.

''IN THE Local OIL FIELD"

There has not been as much ae-
tivity in the Barren county oil field
since the boom of 1892 as there is
now. Every acre of land in the coun-
ty is leased, and leases are selling
from 81 to $50 an acre. Leases on
Boyd's Creek, adjoining the oskamp
and Hoffman fields, cannot be pur-
chased at any price. Mr.. Harlin, of
Terre Haute, paid $40 an acre for
the Hatfield lease, south of town. The
Monedia Doll Company, operating on
the William Barrack lease on Boyd's
and Skegg's Creek, this week brought
in well No. 2, good for 25 barrels.
The Hoffman Oil Company brought in
a well on the Beals lease good for 20
barrels. 0skamp now has wells,
Hoffman Oil Company 10; Crude Oil
Refining Company 10 wells, mostly on
the Grooms lease on Skegg's Greek.
The Eta Oil Company, on Browning
Farm on Boyds Greek, is putting
down well No. 2, and it is due in this
week. Horace Coombs is drilling on
the Steffey Farm on Beaver Creek,
and is now in oil sands and will prob
ably bring in a good well. There are
twenty-three rigs at work now in this
county, and new ones coming in evry
week."
