Blood Poison Cured.
Thers is no doubt, according to
the many remarkable cures perform¬
ed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B.
B.”) that it is far the best Tonic
and Blood Purifier ever manufactur¬
ed. All others pale into insign¬
ificance, when compared with it.
It cures pimples, ulcers, skin diseas¬
es, and all manner of blood and
skin ailments. Buy the best, and
don’t throw your money away on
substitutes. Try the long tested
and old reliable B. B. B. $i.oo per
large bottle. For sale by Druggist.
A Bad Case Cured.
Three years ago I contracted a
blood poison. I applied to a phy-
sition at once, and his treatment
came near killing me. I employed
an old physician and then went to
Kentucky. I then went to Hot
springs and remained two
months. Nothing seemed to cure
me permanently, although tempo¬
rary relief was given me. I return¬
ed home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever get¬
ting well. I was persuaded to try
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.,)
and to my utter astonishment it
quickly healed ever ulcer.

NOTES FROM THE WEST.
Mr. Charles P. Jarrett Writes of |
His Observations.
Mr. Charles P. Jarrett, who re-
cently left Toccoa for New Mexico,;
"
follows:
There is a great deal of country
west of the Mississippi that is un-
developed; thousands of acres in
Arkansas and Indian Territory of
rich land, both prairie and timber,
that looks like waste to let it stand
in its present condition. I liked
Oklahoma better than any section
that I have visited, from an agri-
cultural standpoint. The develop¬
ment has been wonderful; only four
years ago it was a howling wilder¬
ness. It has now been converted
into fertile farms and happy homes,
and her growth and population
equal to and even superior to our
section with more than one hun¬
dred years advantage in point of
age.
If I were a young man again and
expected to take Horace Greely’s
advice, “Go West young man,” I
would go to Oklahoma and then to
the Indian Territory when that is
opened up for settlement. There
are such evidence of thrift and de¬
velopment, the result of enterprise
and muscle, on every hand. The
people are hopeful, peaceable and
prosperous. It is a country of free
thought and action. No one cares
what his neighbor does so long as
it does not concern him. There is
very little regard for Sunday, and
during the busy season some ot the
farmers drive their teams afield just
as every other day, and for the
town people it is a big day for hunt¬
ing, and if a man from the East or
South gets there Saturday he is apt
to drdp into their ways easily and
take a hunt the next day.
The same applies to all this west¬
ern country. They are a people
who like to ride. They ride and
plow,and ride while harvesting and
haying, and when they visit or go
to town they ride and ride in a gal¬
lop or trot. There is game in abun¬
dance, prairie chickens,ducks, quail,
jack rabbits, cotton tails, coyotes,
prairie dogs, etc. I do not exag¬
gerate when I say that in some sec¬
tions you can shoot quail all day
long and not get off from a land
section, which is one mile square.
The number of quails and prairie
chickens are almost incredible. I
have often wished for some of my
Georgia friends, who are more fond
of hunting than I, to be with me.
I saw more good teams, more
wheat, corn, cotton, castor beans,
kaffir corn and hogs than I ever saw
in the same area before. They had
good seasons this year and these
crops may not be a good criterion
to judge by; wheat seems to be the
surest crop with sometimes a yield
of fifty bushels to the acre. That
part of Texas west of Fort Worth,
and also Oklahoma are bordering
so closely onto the desert country
that good crops are not a certainty.
I traveled more than a thousand
miles through Texas, from the tim-
ber lands in the east, through the
black farming land in the
portion and on through the plains
of the west where the cattle men

reign supreme. visiting in
farming section I soon came to the
conclusion that it was a better coun-
try for men than for women, as
house servants were out of the ques- ^
tion. Oxen are not used now like
they were a few years ago, when
an old lady remarked to a new com¬
er that “Texas was a fine place for
men and dogs, but it was thunder
on women and steers.”
It has been dry and crops are
poor in the parts that I visited. I
stopped at El Paso,which is quite
cosmopolitan and prosperous, has
electric lights and street cars, and
is the best city in this part of the
■ c °untry. It has a number of fine
i buildings and like all other towns
in this section has quite a number
ot adobes, which are built of sun-
dried blocks of mud and straw,and
! there are also a good many thatch
j houses out here. Most of the
j adobes are very crude structures
and principally occupied by Mexi¬
cans, some are nicely built houses
and present a good appearance, re¬
sembling concrete, and are occu-
pie d by good " hite people *

hundred years old. Silver City and
the section of country for some dis-
tance around are dry.
It only rains for about two months
during the year, usually in June
an d August and you can see the
The little farming and truck gar¬
dening that is done, and also the
truit growing is done entirely by
irrigation. Its resources are cattle
and mines. The country looks like
t cow would perish, but they thrive
and grow fat and furnish as nice
steak as I ever ate.
Owing to the low price of silver
only the high grade mines are work¬
ed. If silver were a dollar an
ounce this section would blossom
like the rose. We are right in the
mountains and all of them are rich
in minerals. There are a great
many Mexicans and Chinamen in
this part of the l nited States who
partially take the place of the color¬
ed population in Georgia. The
Mexicans are the principal laborers,
while the Chinamen are employed
as cooks and laundry men, and they
do most of the truck gardening.
Drinking and gambling seems to
be quite the thing out here. There
is a large bar and club room on the
first floor of the hotel, and directly
under my room where I am now
writing, where more than a hun¬
dred men are playing, with wide
open doors, at all games of chance
imaginable, and Sunday is not ex¬
cepted. There are churches and
church going people, too. The
merchants make good profits. Beer
is 15c a glass, two for 25c. The
people, as a rule, are intelligent,
and clever as can be. They keep
pretty well up with the styles, and
dress better than in our section.
There is no manufacturing done
here or in these parts. We are
about 6,000 feet above the sea and
have a lovely climate now. It re¬
sembles our crisp October weather,
but higher and dryer and is all that
could be wished for. I have not
had on an overcoat since I arrived.
The mountains as well as the
plains are bare and very rugged,
but present a beautiful picture to
eye. There are so many things
that are new and very interesting
to a tenderfoot from Georgia that I
wish that space would admit of a
more exhaustive letter. I have
touched lightly on many things up¬
on which many interesting pages
could be written. I have ridden
bronchos, slept in dugouts and list¬
ened to the howl of prairie wolves
at night till I am beginning to feel
that I am a tenderfoot no more.
My letter has been too long,though
I would like to say more,and would
promise another, but I expect to
return to Georgia in the spring if
not sooner, and if I can escape
haish treatment for this one, I will
promise not to inflict you with the
likeagain.
Yours truly,
C. P. Jarrett.
