Samuel H. Holmes Writes About North Dakota.

Jamestown, N. Dak., Jan. 16, 1912. Editor Republjpan: A few words to the good old home paper. We have had some cold weather ever since Christmas. The thermometer registers from 18 to 48 degrees below zero. There is not much snow on the groifficT at present. The Hoosiers are all enjoying good health. S. B. Holmes is improving as well as could be expected. We are living In great hopes that we will have a prosperous year, as the ground froze up full" of water. The old farmers here say the prospects were never better lor a., bumper crop. Jn regard to the piece of poetry that the gentleman who recently from Jamestown, wrote. It is true that us Hoosiers may return to old Indiana. The gentleman’s statement that we would have returned with him if we had not been financially broke is not true. We can t tell what the future will be but we feel confident that our friends and neighbors will not pay attention to any one that can’t stay longer than 5 months In a country. We are confident that the poor fello.w would stillbe with the rest of us if he could have rented a farm. . Sidney Holmes raised some cracking good corn last year. He had 90 acres and it averaged him 47 bushels per acre. He and his landlord are stocking up in partnership. They have abodt 60 head of young cattle and a nice bunch of hogs. He has nice men to deal with. They are going to put out about 200 acres "of corn this yea 1 ’. As some of the readers of the good old Republican may after reading the little poem get it in 'their heads that Mr. Brown went back broke, we will say that he went back In better shape than he came here. After having one bad year and one good, believe what _Mr. Brown says-about the Hoosiers out \ the country also. He is a man that left lots of triends here in Dakota. As I fear that I wiH worry your patipnee 1 will ring off. As ever an earnest reader of the good old home paper, SAMUEL H. HOLMES. Here is a remedy that will cure your cold. Why waste time and money experimenting when you can get a preparation that has won a worldwide reputation by its cures of this disease and can always be depended upon? It is known everywhere as Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and is a medicine of real merit For sale by all dealers. 7 ' .. . ■■. C
