To the editor of The Plaindealer, Dear Sir: I want to tell my old iriends m Illinois, in a general way, how I like my new home and Bnrronndings in Franklin county, Tennessee. 1 will say that 1 aui very lunch pleased with my location. The climate is all (hat anyoue could desire. The winters ire mild. 1 have uever seen a day here j when 1 could not dig a pout hole if 1 wished to do any fencing, and J can I plow at times in any month during trie winter. My cattle lived out of doors iiiul did well in the stalk fields and pas­ tures until the first of January. In the summers, while of coarse we have some warm weather, there is usually a breeze here in this inountainotts neighborhood that you do not get iu a prairie country, »ud especially so after about five o'clock, consequently we usually have cool nights, and 1 have not suffered with the heat here as I have in the northern part of Illinois. The soil here, if handled in the same way that they are handled in Illinois, will produce equally well--in fact, wherever you see a thrifty farmer you see a good producing farm, for I never saw land that responds so readily to fertilizer. 1 have seen as good corn, wheat, oats, potatoes and peas grow here where they were properly cared for as 1 have ever seen anywhere. When it comes to frnit, there is no bet­ ter fruit country any where, for apples, i-ears, peaches, plums, cherries, grapes and all small fruits thrive here As to the people of the South, lean- not speak too highly of them. iThev hre a very generous and hospitable peo p e and welcome the northern man wherever he goes and will assist him iu any way they can. They freely ad­ mit that all their ooQntry needs is energetic farmers. The improvements in this country have been very noticeable to me since 1 ue here two years ago. Farm labor is not as hard here for the reason that you have so long a sea son; for instance, you can plant corn any time from March 1 t.» Jnne 1 and the corn has plenty of time to ripen. The first year I was here I finished planting the 2nd of June and had a fine crop. In conclusion will say that anyone looking for a new location would be wise to investigate this country, and if the proper judgment is used, I do not think, all things considered, that they could better this location anywhere else If you would like to have some litera­ ture on the resounds and advantages of thiB country, write to Mr. H. F. Smith. • Traffic Manager, Nashville, Tenn., and he will take pleasure in sending yoa same. Respectfully yours, A. J. DOSQ. ANNUAL REPORT. Cnldi Cause Pneumon! One of the most remarkable cases ot a cold, deep seated on the lnngs, caus­ ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrnde E Fenner, Marion, Injl., who was en­ tirely cured by the nse of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The congh- in£ and straining so weakened me that I ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I tried One Minute Congh Cure. Four bottles of this won­ derful remedy cured me entirely of the congh. strengthened my lnngs and re stored me to my normal weight, health and strength."

My stomach was bo weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much tnat my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro­ nounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de­ sire to live. A sister Visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of CarduL I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer* ing if they but knew of its value. i ijtr Don't yoa want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. Ton can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to* day? wineOrdiii Mm)* kjr the Townxhlp Treaxuror, Ctrwa-Balnnee fS,039.70.

Assessor J WEEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing Best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im­ possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but" it is veiy hard to digest The time to treat consump­ tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. .If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be Setter for the treatment If it is consump­ tion you cah't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begpn in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat­ ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air* rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment We will send you a little of the Emul­ sion free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, C h e m i s t s , 409 Pearl St., N. Y. 50c. and $ t ; all druggists.
