Everbody who knows Lu will read with dtdight ttie following from the Cleveland Star of this week: ‘ Mr. L. U. Campbell has consum mated a big deal with a London capi talist, and the property known as the Campbell monazite mine, comprising monazite plant and 30% acres of land situated 2% miles east of Shelby, has been sold to Joseph Tysoe, of London, England, the consideration being $4. r ),- 000 cash. The deal was closed and the money paid in New York Friday afternoon. Mr. Tysoe and his asso ciates returned to England, but will be here in a few weeks, and begin the development of the property. This deal will mean much to Shelby, and we made reference to this enterprise in a recent issue. “Senator O. F. Mason, of Dallas, in vestigated the title to the property and made the abstract for tho pur chaser, while Ryburn & Hoey repre sented Mr. Campbell, who made the sale. Mr. Campbell has long operated the mine here, and is well liked by all because of his generous dealing and business sagacity.” 3HROT LOCAL ITEMS. Rev. J.

The people everywhere indorse it, and there are few homes where S. S. S. for the blood is not known and used. It is superior in many ways to the ordi nary blood medicines. In the first place S. S. S. is a guaranteed purely vegetable compound, made exclusively of medicinal roots selected for their wonderful purifying and tonic properties that act upon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy, natural condition. At the same time, under its tonic effects the gen eral system improves, the sluggish organs are toned up, and renewed strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effects follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicines containing strong minerals, which derange the stomach and digestion and in other ways damage the system.

S will search out and remove from the blood the fixed poison and build up the health; it enriches and purifies weak, thin blood and stim ulates the circulation. Pure blood is essential to health. You can •xist without good blood, but can never be robust and strong; for every organ, tissue and nerve in the body looks to the blood for nourishment, and unless this vital fluid is kept in a pure, healthy state, the rest of the body suffers and the system soon breaks down. Nature has pro vided in S. S.
