THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS From Missouri. Bogard, Jan. 12t 1915. Editor News: Enclosed you will please find $1.00 to pay for the News for the year 1915, please pardon me for being a little' late sending in my subscription. My son, Robert, broke out with small-pox the 29th, of November therefore we were quarentined for five weeks; during this time we were not allowed to send out any mail. Now we are all free again and Bob has gone to work feeling better than for a year. By having the other children vac cinated and following the direc tions of our physician the rest of us have escaped the dreaded disease, for which we are very thankful indeed. There have been several cases in the county during the last few weeks. Mr. Edd Smith the gentleman that Jim Shirley and Nat Walker worked for while in Mo., has it now. While we were shut in our neighbors were very kind and good, everything we needed was brought and put where we could get it. We were still under quar antine when X'mas. came but still it was a very happy X'mas, to us. Bob came out of his cell X'mas. Eve and we fumigated everywhere except one room. This had only one bed which was occupied by the two youngest children. The rest of us sat up all night, but Santa Claus came in from every direction. Our Sunday School remembered us with their X'mas treat and our 4ay school teachers, sent the chil dren a nice treat and then some of our neighbor friends remem bered us with several nice and useful presents. Certainly we are among good people. Our son, Coakley, got married last summer and is still running a restaurant in Bogard and is handling a few groceries in con nection with his eating estab lishment. Our oldest daughter, Lethia, has been given a posi tion as assistant cashier in the .Bogard State Bank, which was organized about three months .ago. She begun work the' first of ihe year. Well, we have had some real winter weather since the 10th of December. Lots of snow and ice. That makes a feast for the blacksmiths. It cost $3.00 fto get a team shod, all around .here, but a time like this is the ,. only time they do any shoeing. ' Well, last year was a bad crop year for Carroll Co. The contin . ued dry weather and the visita , tion of the chintz bug cut all .kind of crops short. Though when the fall rains come it made 'lots of good pastures and then we had fine weather for gather ing corn and working the roads, -the latter of which there was lots done. By the way, how did my friend, Mr. J. N. Coffey's drag work that he had made. I feared it would be too light to do good work. Here we use a steel shase and with the weight of two ordinary men on it and four . horses to draw it, so when we j make a round on a mile, we leave it as nice as you ever saw a track at the Columbia Fair grounds. We are always glad to get the Adair County News. It tells of all the happenings at home. The Gradyville letter is read first, because we all want to know about the home folks first. I will close by wishing the News and its readers a hap py and prosperous New Year. Most Respt Luther M. Wilmore. Your Cold Is Dangerous Break it Up--Now. A Cold is readily catching.

The remedy most generally recom mended for this purpose is Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin, which mothers throughout the country have been giving their children for a quarter of a cen tury. Today thousands of families are using it where hundreds used it then, and there must be good reason for this word of mouth recommendation.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will act gently, and when taken before retiring will bring corn- tune to lose a horse la3t Sunday night. The animal in some way broke a leg.
