My sister had been using Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, pound.

They are more than pleased with this country. They stayed with me last night; this morn- ing I took them to Didsbury, and they went on north. When they come back they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some lines and they are going to locate in sight of my house. There have been over 1,200 acres of land changed hands here in our neighborhood this spring. When I located here last fall J was the furthest back of any of the set- tlers; to-day I am in the center of the settlement. We have thirty-six chil- dren that are of school age in our dis- trict, and we will have our school dis- trict organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolhouse. The longer we stay here the better we like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had less than $50 when they got here, and to- day they have got 160 acres of good land and five or six hundred dollars’ worth of stock.
