Money Is No Object.
The lives of your children are of priceless
value. Every child is subject to sudden at
tacks of bowel complaint during the summer
months. It is always alarming and often
fatal , the only rational plan is to be provided
at all times with the safest and surest reme
dy , and promptly treat the disorder in its
first stages , and before the vitality becomes
exhausted. Unexpected delays so often occur
in sending for a physician or medicine , espec
ially during the night or from a distance , ,
that no one can afford to risk such uncer
tainties when life depends upon promptness ,
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand for instant
use , it is made for bowel complaint only and
is unquestionably the most reliable medicine
ever brought into general use. The price is
no object compared with its value in saving
life. Sold by Willey & Walker and McMillen
& Weeks.
The talk of France whipping Germany has
assumed the dreary and bearded aspectof the
ordinary French joke.
Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup.
Will relieve that cough almost instantly
and make expectoration easy. Acts simul
taneously on the bowels , kidneys and liver ,
thereby relieving the lungs of that soreness
and pain and also stopping that tickling
sensation in the throat by removing the
cause. One trial of it will convince any one
that it has no equal on earth for coughs and
colds. McMillen & Weeks have secured the
sale of it and will guarantee every bottle to
give satisfaction.
"They talk about a woman ' s sphere
As though it had a limit ;
There's not a place in earth or heaven.
There's not a task to mankind given.
There's not a blessing or a woo.
There's not a whisper , yes or no ,
There's not a life , or doath , or birth
That has a feather's weight of worth
Without a women in it. "
is warranted , i3 because it is the best
Blood Preparation known. It will posi

whole system , and thoroughly builds up the
constitution. Remember , we guarantee it.

TOWN. 4 , RANGE 30.
Sam McLaln is whopping tho sod ovor at a
lively rate.
W. J. Snokes of Hayes county is assisting P.
Groves on his farm.
T. J. KIckards informed us that lie would
finish planting corn , Wednesday.
C. S. Squires was in McCook , Saturday , and
not having much to do there , ho bought a
windmill and brought it home.
Tho friends and neighbors met at the resi
dence of O. F. Cain , last Sabbath , and organ
ized a Sabbath school. A. B. Davis was elected
superintendent. That is right , keep it up.
"Undo Billy" was around , this week , and ho
seemed unusually inquisitive. Ho was asking
everyone how many horses , cattle , mules ,
snoops , " hogs , etc. , they had and how much
they were worth.
E. Popejoy raised 2'A acres of onions , last
Reason , which he sold for $400.00. That don't
look much like starving. He stated to us ,
Tuesday , that lie never tilled soil that would
produce like this soil here. Ho thinks this
beats Iowa soil.
We called on our friend and neighbor A.
Modie , one day this week , and we found him
and N. Frame so busy listing corn that they
hadn't time to stop in tho middle of tho Held
to take a chew of tobacco. That's right , neigh-
bore , now is the time to bo at itcprly and late.
It does look as though W. K. Forsoy has
solved the fuel problem. He is an A No. 1
farmer , and raises corn. He shells tho corn
and uses tho cobs for fuel. In the beginning
of winter he bought $4.00 wortli of coal and
he has near half of it loft , and enough cobs on
hand for fuel the most of tho summor.
If wo wero Irish we would lose no time in
.ocating in tho western part of tin 's town.
Cause : E. Popejoy has six acres planted to
potatoes , while T. J. Kickards and W. K. For
soy have seven acres each , and S. Schlegel has
eighteen acres. That looks as though a goodlv
number would receive invitations to a "dig , * '
next fall.
That immense mound near S. Schlcgel's resi
dence , that somewhat resembles sand hills , is
only a pile of cobs that he got by shelling l.IJOO
bushels of corn that he raised on his farm , last
season. It is said he used cobs for fuel all
winter and has enough on hand to last about
all summer. So there is no use to worry about
fuel in this country.
That was a very pleasant party that gather
ed at the spacious home of N.J. Frame's on
Friday night last. The occasion was tho birth
day of Mr. Frame , and was greatly enjoyed
and wy.1 long bo remembered by the partici
pants. Mr. Frame and his excellent lady
proved themselves equal to the occasion.
Refreshments in abundance was served , to
which ample justice was done , we should
judge from tho fact that we heard Andy say ,
Saturday afternoon , that ho had not been
hungry since. There were twenty-six that
partook of refreshments. Wo like to hear of
these gatherings among the neighbors , and
we wonder whose birthday comes next.
While in the discharge of our duties in the
western part of the town. , last Tuesday , we
were invited by a kind neighbor to share a
spring seat , which we accepted , as wo had
been riding horse backall day. Will appeared
somewhat anxious to get home , but we didn't
know whether he was hungry , or had the liver
complaint , until he blurted out , "we've got a
boy at our house , and its Ave weeks old to
day. " After learning this , we wouldn't blame
him if he had wallowed around worse than a
colicky horse : but we did feel like pounding
him for not sending us word at the time , and
we will let him off on condition that he send its
word next time as soon as he is able to be about.
The angels came to earth one day ,
Sent by a Father's love.
And bore our darling child away ,
To the bright world above.
To us its little life was sweet ,
* We pressed it to our hearts ;
But soon again our child we'll meet ,
And meet , no more to part.
God sent to us a treasure rare ,
Which gave us great delight.
He took it to that land so fair ,
'Tis clothed in garments white.
Its smiling face we hope to see ,
When life with us is o'er ;
A happy meeting that will be ,
Upon the Golden Shore.
Tho days are long and lonely now.
We miss our little one ;
Yet we in calm submission bow ,
And say , "Thy will be done. "
