The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
genuine—manufactured by the Cali
ia ■ •'ia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
ding druggists. Price fifty cents

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
DALLAS, TEXAS
Summerville News:—
About two months ago, I de
cided to leave temporarily, the
old red 1 ills of Georgia and mix
up for awhile with the Jack rab
bits, prairie dogs and Coyotes of
the west and incidentally to pock
et a few dollars along the way.
It devolved upon me to employ
and look after a force of men
over here, and I have had no
trouble in finding applicants, but
have had great difficulty in find
ing men with sufficient expense
money to get out cf town.
Texas is as dry as Daniel
Boone’s powder horn, in many
places, not a season since last
October and twice since my ar
rival in the state wo have had
dust storms that completely ob
scured the sun for hours over a
radius of hundreds of miles, in
sections. There has been partial
showers, but in the main the state
is very dry, stock water scarce
and not sufficient moisture to
bring forth the grass, neceossita
ting the feeding of stock.
Further west T find cotton pick
ing still in order, and no surplus
pickers, with some plowing the
cotton under at the rate of one
fourth bale to the acre.
Cyclones are in ahead of time
this year, one appearing in Wise
county’ the past week, killing 11
people and injuring many others;
loss of property' considerable. I
f.m not looking for one of these
“critters.”
Texas evidently' felt tlie effects
of the panic and with the drouth?
insect pests and every kind of
disaster in the catalogue of fail
ure, I am forced to conclude that
the average production from our
old red hills will discount this
country right along. There is
no intermediate here, it. is either
an overyvhelmning hit, or a most
disastrous miss and yon may have
the most flattering prospects one
week, the next may witness the
vanishing of all your earthly
dreams.
A few come here and succeed,
but I'ke the fellow that drew the
capital prize in the La. state Lot
tery, you hear of him. hut not the
<0 000 fliat failed to draw.
Texas would be a great coun
try under favorable conditions,
but the insect pests will have to
oroviile the moisture before it
ho removed and the good Lord
can ever reach firn maximum of
its possibilities.
