KILLS CATARRH GERMS.
Sufferers Will Be Interested In Spe-
cial Offer of Hood & Curlin.
The unusual offer made by Hood
& Curlin to refund the purchase
price of Hyomei to any person it
fails to benefit shows their confi-
dence in the remedy and should dis-
pel all doubts as to its curative pow-
ers. You do not risk a cent in test-
ing the healing virtues of Hyomei
for they take all the risk of its giv-
ing satisfaction and leave you to be
the judge as to whether it costs you
anything or not.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every $1.00
outfit its healing balsams destroy all
germs even in the most remote air
cells and quick recovery follows.
If you suffer from offensive breath
raising of mucous sneezing fits hus-
ky voice discharge from the nose
droppings from the throat or any
other catarrhal symptoms begin the
use of Hyomei. 281

Gentlemen : November 19021 contract-

scribed ichthyol ointment and retirement
from buiiness. After one day's use of the
ointment I concluded the erysipelas was
preferable on account of the villainous odor
and color of the ointment. Having by me
a bottle of Littell's Liquid Sulphur with
which I had cured with one application
an aggravated case of prickly heat the prev-

dies and applied that with most satisfactory

The early sowing of spring oats is <
coming up. Somo will plant corn j
this week. Potato planting and put-
ting out onion sets have begun. Tur- j
nip greets have begun to go to seed i
Sour dock is beginning to show up.
Soon tender polk plants will begin to
shoot up along hedgerows. Lambs
and kids are beginning to come. The |
elms are budding. I saw one of Char- I
lie Graves' peach trees in bloom last !
week. Dove* will soon begin to coo
and the butterfly and spring poets
and other harmless insects will flit
from flower' to flower. The spring
time the genesis of vegetable life is
the most interesting season of the
year.
The first to place his date another
year ahead Monday morning was J.
H. Hamlin president of the State
Bank of Forreston. which bank un-
der Mr. H.'s management made the
best report of any bank in the state
for the year 1906. Next to join the
band was J. T. Woodward colored
on Forreston No. 2. At Waxahachie
J. A. Hollabaugh from Venus No. 1
said send the Enterprise to my bro-
ther J.A. Hollabaugh at Knox City
Texas. George Rosson the horse and
jack man of Milford gave me a dol-
lar and said send it to my father W.
L. Rosson. J. R. Layne the freight-
er from Ray. crossed my palm with
silver and in return 1 promise him
good fortune. W. C. Rockett a na-
tive of the Rockett community and
for whose family the town was nam-
ed renewed for a year. The shades
of night approaching I got astride
my Pegassus and journeyed even
to the residence of G. A. Butcher on
No. 4 Waxahachie where I find a
hearty welcome a nice home and
one of the best contented families in
the county. After devouring a good
breakfast Tuesday morning 1 went
forth down Grove Creek and spent
awhile at the pleasant home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Lowe where I got a
large dollar. Over on Cottonwood I
ηηα f. b. llarper superintending
some improvements 011 his premises.
I have a pleasant chat get a dollar
and a new sub from John Bland-
ford. Nalored. At the- home of C. E.
Jarrett I get a good dinner and have
another chat. Jarrett is a student of
the Gospel Grub ax and does a good
deal of general reading having his
own opinion of what he reads and
hears. The person who goes to some-
one else for an interpretation of
what he reads ought never to have
been weaned. J. B. Baker teaches the
Prosper school. I spent awhile with
the school and witnessed some very
thorough work. Children pre smart-
er than when 1 wa.i 1 boy or are bet-
ter taught for 1 witnetbed recita-
tions of U.i. cl.v ■ 1 1 arithmetic
one in mi Implication the other in
addition of liurtion ai:d not a mem-
ber of eitaei c'ai-e lnrue a mistake
or missed anything.
At Rockett I found three live stores
and Drs. Aldredge Ferguson and
VVadley administering to the sick.
C. B. N'eal who clerks for S. H. Jol-
ly after selling some ladies some
garden seed took the Enterprise. On
the way to Red Oak 1 meet and re-
new Marion Rockett and Wallace
Coffee. They are natives and both
living on the places where they were
born. Marion lives on the place
where I climbed over a bois d'arc
hedge to steal green apples when a
boy. At Red Oak I take supper at
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's boarding house
and take the train for Dallas. It
would not be of any interest to any
one for me to state how I passed the
time till the meeting of the conven-
tion of the Southern Cotton conven-
tion at the fair grounds auditorium
at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morn
: ι«0· » ·»ν uvi.vuuuuvv " uo oikiuii
I there being not more than 200 dele-
gates present. From Kills county I
saw such overworked horny hand-
ed sons of toll as J. S. Davis Flav.
Davenport Dr. S. H. Watson J. M.
Alderdlce and Cal Love and wife of ;
Palmer. The addresses were good i
and received hearty applause. The j
general plan of the association seem-
ed to be gradual marketing of cot-
ton building of factories and ware-
houses and crop diversification of all
good sound agricultural doctrine.
Back to Waxahachie Wednesday
night and out on Waxahachie No.
3 Thursday and Friday. J. F. Ham-
ilton was finishing the preparation
of his land. Mr. H. is a large man.
I have seen some smaller who thot
they were too large to stand walk-
ing. He told me that one year since
he had been in Texas he had made
90 bales of cotton with only $98 paid
out for labor. J. W. Custer was
chopping etove wood and from the
size of the pile he had I presume he*
is opposed y> women working the
roads bearing arms in time of war
and cutting stove wood. T. W. Chap-
man owns the Bias Baumgartner
place and has one ot the nicest coun-
try residence· in the county. Mrs. D.
H. Grose told me be was in the tim-
ber cutting wood. I am satisfied she
believed what she said and I cannot
prove anything to the contrary. I
found the home of R. I. Bishop sad-
dened by the recent death of their
only child. Mrs. Hinkle. At Oak I
spent the night with the family of
E. C. Morris where the family as-
sembled around the altar and' had
prayer night and morning. This is
the first family prayer I have found
in the four months I have been in
the field. I am not complaining but
merely stating a fact. J. R. Terrell
who recently moved from near For-
reston now lives on the Watson
place. 1 took dinner with Mrs. Bish-
op her son Albert a boy in school
fs our subscriber. J. G. Alexander
was building a hog proof fence for
pasture.
At Τ TT MtinVnU'n Τ η
fried chicken milk and butter eggs
home-made light bread fine Ply-
mouth Rock and Buff China hens
and a gêod bed. Back to Waxahach-
ie Saturday I met hundreds of peo-
ple among whom I mention J. W.
Davis from No. 4 Ennis. At dinner
time John E. Smith the boarding
house man says send the paper to
Mrs. J. L. Birth. Texarkana
Texas. J. B. Barnes from Waxaha-
chie No. 2 said send me the Enter-
prise and News also send them to
J. W. Tamerlin on No. 3 Alvord
Texas. M. D. Rutherford one of the
best fellow in the county said Will
send the Enterprise to me on No. 1
Waxahachie. Ben W. Sims colored
a farmer and gardner said "white
folks" send me that paper. Ben has
invented a fly trap that will catch
flies mosquitoes and even mice. He
has already sold a one-third inter-
est In his patent for $1000. C. C.
Flynn subscribed for Mrs. Bridges
of Dallas^ T. E. Mitchell renewed. W.
S. Williams on No. 1 Waxahachie
said my time is about out I guess
you had better send it along. J. E.
Hobson came in from Venus No. 1
with 17 turkeys and sold them for
$15.00 all hens but two. Jos. Key-
worth from Waxahachie No. 3 said
Will send the paper to my son Har-
ry at Eula Texas. J. W. Whitefleld
No. 5 Waxahachie said he got the
blue mark Friday so he gave me a
dollar a sure remedy for the blue
mark. This thing seems like the fel-
low's prayer hard to wind up but
whed you have read all you can
stand you may stop. BILL. COX.

Great inventors ofttn have been
praised for surrendering the se-

medical world in the case bf Dr.
Decatur D. Dennis the eminent
skin specialist of Chicago.
Dr. Dennis ir his own office prac-
tice discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen properly mixed
with other simple remedies was
practically a sure specific for ecze-
ma psoriasis barber's itch salt
rheum and other itclftng skin dis-
eases. But the oil of wintergreen
alone was found ineffective. It re-
quired other mild ingredients such
as glycerine iri thymol compound
ed with the wintergreen to produce
the real eczema cure.
This compounded I). Γ>. Γ) Pres-
cription positively takes away the
itch at once—the instant it Ik applied
to the skin. This vegetabl· liquid
does away with deleterious drugs so
long used in an attempt to doctor

has determined that eczema is first
and all the time a skin disease.

The Mildest and Most
Effective Laxative Known
No laxative sold in our store can compare with this perfect
bowel regulator in gentleness and efficiency. It is not a re-
arrangement of old laxative and cathartic drugs but an entirely
««claxative and cathartic. All the good points of other laxatives
have been carefully preserved in this new laxative while their
faults have been as skillfully eliminated.
Orderlies
simply re-establish Nature's functions without any unpleasantness
whatever. ATo griping—no nausea. To sufferers from constipa-
tion or sluggish liver they bring immediate relief and no consti-
pative reaction results from their use. They work quietly but
thoroughly and the rest of the body is unaware of their presence.
Rexall Orderlies are as pleasant as they are effective. Put up
in agreeable tasting vanilla-flavored tablets.
