A Minister’s Good Word. “I had a severe attack of bil¬ ious colic, got a bottle of Cham¬ berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di¬ arrhoea Remedy, took two dos¬ es and was entirely cured,’says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia. Kau. My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of med mine from the doctor, He used them for three or four days without without relief, then call ed in another doctor who treat¬ ed him for some days and gave no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it ‘was almost bloody flux, 1 asked him if lie had tried Chamberlain’s Colic, and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, ‘No.’ I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose: told him to another dose in fifteen or ty minutes if he did not find lief, but he took no more and was entirely cured .” For by Gailey Drug Co, NO. Stolen Goods Found Mr. Chick discovered some pack a ^ es »“<l«n.oath a cotton seed house last Mondav morning and came to town and notified Deputy .Marshal Bishop. Together they returned to the house and secured the packages which proved to be two or three new coats and a pair of shoes. The coats were identifi¬ ed as bPonging to Hewlett, Rea¬ gan & Downs and the shoes weie from the stock of Street & Huff. Neither of these firms have any idea as to how t lie goods were se¬ cured from their stores, but it is evident that some thief got in his work successfully. Why these ar¬ ticles were left under the cotton seed house, exposed to view is k "°"' n “ 1,l 5 r to p° one who left them them there. there. Fear of detection perhaps had something to do with it.

This good woman, like all peo¬ ple of .this age in this country,lias passed through many trials and it is fitting that the closing years of her life be filled with all the pleas¬ ures that peace and plenty and the devoti m of children and friends can bring. The pleasures of this day no doubt compensated for sor¬ rows and trials innumerable in the past and brought 1... Dus aged heart the sweet assurance that a life of sacrifice and devotion is not always forgot by those we love when age creeps upon us, and that an even greater reward awaits us in the hereafter. This family gathering on this birthday occasion feasted on many good things and enjoyed them well. When the day was drawing to a close, those present began to take their leave, wishing for till aged mother and friend many happy returns of her birthday. We appreciate the kind words spoken of the Weekly Banker. They have a tendency to cheer us on our way, but will you stop long enough to think that it requires something more substantial than “kind expressions” to publish a paper? If you have never tried it, let 'is assure you that dollars alone can keep it going. Kind words help, but a dollar down for 12 months subscription is worth a basket full of compliments when it conioS to paying off the “devil” and buying bread for the little on< s. Pay for your paper and tell us all the news, if you wish to please us most. Cotton has begun to open. We have been presented with two open balls—one Saturday last, the other last Monday. Soon the first new bale will be drawn into town and then the fun will begin,
