LETTER FROM HARVEY DAVISSON.

Hamilton, N. D., May 8. F. E. Babcock, Ed. Democrat, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir:—We arrived home last Monday morning and found weather fine and warm and everybody in their fields seeding. And the weather is still fine, some are planting corn here now. We think this is the jflace for farming and the climate is simply grand. Land is changing hands here rapidly, the soil can’t be beat. I was just offered a 160 acre farm miles from Hamilton, N. D., best m soil,‘small house and barn, all in cultivation, for $25 per acre cash. If I had the dong’ll I would surely buy it. Farmers here are seeding lots of clover and timothy this spring, fruit is not hurt here yet. Yours truly,

WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid, not an outward salve that clogs the pores. „ We recommend to all eczema patients that standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D” Prescription. A trial bottle of this D D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures'from its use. We recommend it to our patrons. B. F. Fendig, Rensselaer, Ind.

One of the best opportunities remaining to-day to buy good land at the right prices within the reach of the man of moderate means is the SWIGART TRACT, where some of the finest clover and fruit land in the State of Michigan can be bought for a limited time, for $lO, sl2, sls and $lB per acre on terms as low as $lO to $25 down and $5 to $lO per month On 40 acres. It is a fair, square, liberal proposition, that gives the working man a chance to get a home. Call or write for information about the advantages to buyers now. —CHAS. J. DEAN, local representative for these lands, Rensselaer, Ind.

Gilchrist.' governor of Florida, with his staff; Governor Hughes and staff, Admiral George Dewey, and Rear Admirals Evans Sperry, Schroeder, Wainwright, Potter. and Luetzl, the last named being the commandant of the navy yard. Miss Elizabeth Leger Fleming, the daughter of a former governor of Florida. christened the new’ battleship. As the huge craft struck the water Miss Fleming, to the strains of the national anthem, broke a bottle of champagne over the iron hull of the ship’s ram and exclaimed: “I name thee Florida.” The navy yard was in gala attire. All the ships and buildings were decorated with streamers and bunting. Bands from the battleship fleet, which was present, were stationed about the new sea-fighter.
