Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood. \^eak and unhealthy kidneys are re sponsible for much sickness and sufren n g, therefore, if kidney trouble is permitted to continue, serious re sults are most likely to follow. Your other organs may need at tention, but your kid neys most, because they do most and should have attention first. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your en tire body is affected and how every organ 'seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con vince you of its great merit. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root* the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest because its remarkable health restoring properties have been proven in thousands ol the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine you should" have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty-cent and one-dol lar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you TE?T3SSm?55r how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer '& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Don't make any mis take, but remember the name, Swamp Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in.place of Swamp-Root-if you do you will be disappointed. 1 st, most tasteful and e biscuit, cake and pas aade with Royal Bak er, and not otherwise, ie only Baking Powder made from rape Cream or Tartar Very Large Buyers.

All who need vehicles should call and inspect these forty new bug gies before buying; Likes Williamson Plan. A majority of farmers, so far as our information extends, who have tried the Williamson plan of grow ing, corn are greatly ? pleased with the results obtained.. While in con versation with Mr.. M. DeLoach a few days ago, he told the writer of his success with Williamsom corn last year. The only mistake he made was in not using a very heavy ap plication of fertilizers. This he fully realizes and will use a greater quan tity per acre during the present year. Being a man of good judg ment and one of the most success ful farmers in the county, Mr. De Loach's approval pf0the William son plan is a very strong endorse ment of this new method of culti vating corn.

An Up-to-date Market. Edgefield may be behind some towns along certain lines but in the matter of an up-to-date, well-kept market she claims first place. Mr. H. H. Sanders' market on the cor ner of the square is at all times sup plied with home-raised meat of the best quality, which instead of being exposed, as is the case in some mar kets, is placed in a large refrigera tor made for that purpose. The mar ket is so neatly kept that it is al ways inviting. Mr. Sanders recently had one side of the market filled with attractive shelves and coun ters and now carries a complete stock of fancy groceries. It is his purpose to keep up every depart ment, re-ordering as the supply be comes exhausted. Your Patronage Solicited.

Then I be gan to use Dr. King's New Dis covery, which restored my health completely, I now weigh 178 pounds.

I. student body, made its appearance last week in a very neat and attractive, dress. The maga zine, both mechanically and editor ially, is above the average of col lege journals, reflecting lasting credit upon Editorin-chief Taylor, his corps of assistants and con tributors. "P. P. B's." article en titled "Our Military-ary-ary Man" is especiallv good. Long live The Co-Ed! Cold Not Yet Over. < Both the ground hog theory and the seven stars point to a long 3rawrn-out winter. It is said that the seven stars can be seen in dark nights almost over head, and that there is danger of severe cold until they set with the sun. Without considering the signs farmers are pressing forward with their work, und they are right. Will Plant Two Acres. Of the scores of farmers who have recently informed- us that they are planning to enter The Adverti ser's corn growers' contest, one has said that he is arranging to plant two acres, cultivating them by differ ent methods, and reporting next fall the one from which the greatest yield is obtained. This is a capital idea. Such an experiment would be exceedingly helpful aside from the profit derived from the yield. Every dollar expended in labor and fertilizers for corn will bring ten fold returns. Freshen and beautify the interi or of your home by using our cal" rino and alabastine. B. Timmons.
