Funeral services were conthi • -<1 by Rev. Kohn, of Willshire, Ohio. ) v,a sad affair. The Invisible Army Os microbes (micro o .nism ; * mighiv host which indeed no man can number. Invisible to the naked eye, the poisonous pa-t-of this army is the cause of tour-fifths of all the diseases ot the human familv — they destroy more lives than war, famine, fire, murder ar.d shipwreck combined, •nd they actually abbreviate the average term of human life by thre--lourths. The way to relieve the human body of t< *ee microbes is to take Swift’s Specific. When this medicine gets well in‘o the system the poisonous germ must leave—he cannot exist the'e, hence he seeks an exit through the pores of the skin. After he'departs, a continued use of the Specific ( will force out the poison, and the patient, is well. Send for our book on the blood •nd skin. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Root Township items. ‘ Most of the sick are c mvalescent. I The “grip” has L. W. Lewton down. Mrs. Will Cbristianer is very ill with la grippe. , Howard DeWitt has moved into the Burr house.

W e icad that the government wants to reduce the rate of postage to one cent. We think they had better raise it to three cents and give us free de'ivery. John W. Merriman had some sheep killed last Sunday night by dogs. If people knew the penalty for harboring such dogs they would get rid of them. Last of all came John Caller riding through the mud like the wind stopping at A. B. Baughman & Co’s store and says, now Ad. hustle up, for I have got a bouncing big boy. The Germ Theory. Shows that all epidemic, endemic, and contagious diseases are produced by minute infecting germs or microbes, peculiar to each d’sease, wh ; ch enters the system. It being a well settled fact that any reme- . dy which would kill the germ or microbe would destroy the life of the patient, it has been found that to force out these germs 1 is the only safe relief from their ravages. In this way Swift’s Specific has for 60 yeais been curing blood and skin diseases. ' It forces out the miciobes through the pores of the skin, and soon sends out the poison which they m.iy have left. In this , way the disease is cured, and the general ' health ol the patient is built up. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed ( free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga. 1 Linn Grove Items.

T.. Feb, 4. Editor Decatur Democrat: J desire to say to my friends, through the ooluiT ns 01 your paper, that I am as favorable impressed with Oklahoma as ever. I don't JkiWW that I can express my faith in It in any better way than quote the language of the great Bishop Newman, of the M. K. church, as he just left here a few days since. He says, “I have sailed on all seas, I have crossed every continent, but I know of no spot on this earth that has a greater promise than Oklahoma. It Is a country of wonderful possibilites, this is destined to be the Empire state of the American Union; her star will yet shine as the brightest on the American flag." This comes from a man ripe in yews, experience and honors and who has seen the world in nearly all its varied phases, and one who enjoys the respect and confidence of this nation, hence must be taken as meaning a great deal for Oklahoma, I am living on a quarter sect ion forty-one miles frem Guthrie. It, like the most of the land in this country, has a fine soil, which, with tne mild climate of this country, will produce cereals, fruits, etc., of the northern as well as the southern states. .. I know of no country where fruits of all sorts will do so well, nor where the different grains will do better, and the wild winters are enough to compensate several times the advantages that any state or territory may have over this, and the summers are as cool, owing to the noqj breezes from the Gulf of Mexico on the south, as the summers of your grand old state of Indiana. Attracted by her advantages, Oklahoma is being settled by an industrious, enterprising class of people, many of whom are wealthy, and which will soon bring her to the grand rank prophesied by the good Bishop. People here work for the increase of the wealth of the country as well as their own benefit, more than they generally do in the states. The result of this is that schools and public improvements, generally, are keeping pace with the Improvements and enterprises of a private character:. We have as wealthy banks, merchants, and other business representatives here as can be found in mostof the states. Wcshall haveanother railroad, and probably two, in Guthrie within one year. Guthrie has always been and always will be the caploj Qt the territory. Bbo has a population of seven or eight thousand, and owing to her advantages will soon bo one of the finest cities of the southwest. Samuel R. Fobeman. W. C. T. U. Notes. Regular meeting on to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon at when a report of the county convention will be given. All come. Mrs. Mary H. Hunt will soon go to Kentucky in the interest of Scientific Temperance instruction in the public schools of that state. A Gospel Mission in the form of a cos, fee wagon which drives through the most destitute and crowded parts of the city, and furnishes hot coffee with cream and sugar at three cents a pinj pr twenty cents a gallon, has been started in Chick go. It is becoming a formidable rival of the beer shops in those localities.
