The Galveston News of March 3rd
publishes a strange story about a
bright star shining in broad day
light on March 2nd to citizens ol
El Paso. It is careful to have se

to be another “airship" story,
which the News so successfully
played off on many of its confiding

The editor of.the Farm Journal
asks; “Why have a mortgage on
the farm, poor crops, rheumatism,
sour bread, grip, leak in the roof,
hole in the pocket, skeleton in the
closet, or any other pain or trouble
when you can get the Farm Journal
five years by paying all arrearges
and a year in advance for the New
E*a? This you can do if you speak
quick, .But £nly a limited number
of Farm Journals can be had, so
pay op belofe the last one is gor-t.

detracts from a fair name and tht

Chamberlain’S Cough Remedy 1
This remrdy is intended especial-
ly for coughs, colds, croup, whoop-
ing cough and influenza. It has
become famous for its cure of these
diseases, over a large part of the
civilized world. The most flatter-
testimonials have been received,
givinig accounts of its good works;
of the aggravating and persistent
coughs it has cured; of severe colds
that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the danger-
ous attacts of croup it has cured,
often saving the life of the child.
The extensive use of it for whoop-
iug cough shows that it robs that
disease of all dangerous consequen-
ces. It is especially prized by
mothers for their children, as it
never fails to effect a speedy cure,
and because they have found that
is not tne least danger in giv-
ing it, even to babies, as it contains
nothing injurious, Sold by St,

of the Eagle Wednesday that he

diHigenJly for thx live cotton boll
weevils since the heavy freeze ol
two weeks ago without finding any-

the wet winter coupled with severe
