Tne Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, January 6, 1904. r Christmas at St. Andrews. To the Editor of the Dispatch. As has been the custom for lo, these many years, with but a few exceptions, the S. S. celebration was attended Xmas at St. Andrews in Southern Dutch Fork. At the appointed hour although the day appeared any other than an auspicious one for auy person to venture out, yet the occasion^ was greeted with a very creditable attendance. The programme was an excellent and , teresting one from beginning to end. At the conclusion of a few preliminaries, the exercises of the day were opened with prayer by the pastor, Rev. S. L. Nease, followed by an address of welcome by one of the pupils of the school. After several dialogues and recitations by the children interspersed with some ex) collect renditions of music by the choir, specially selected and prepared for this occasion, lead by the beautiful and accomplished, Miss Leila C. ' Barre, came the speaker of the day, \ Prof. E S. Dreher, Superintendent oi the Graded Sohool of Columbia, S. ^ C, who amased, entertained and * ? l ll! 1_ I instructed bis bearers toraooui tuiriy minutes. Mr. Dreher is a speaker of no small merit and the manner in which he acquitted himself shows ^ very conclusively that he is at home when it comes to speech-making. At this point was the time the children had been looking forward to with no Bmall degree of anxiety, the distribution of prizes. All children in the immediate vicinity, whether large or small, received prizes, whether con nected directly or indirectly with the Sunday School or not. After the benediction, although the clouds were turning loose her possessions upon mother earth, every one departed to their respective v homes glad that they had the pleasure of seeing another Xcnas day eelK ebrated, with their energies renewed r to report greater and nobler things ' achieved, provided tbey are spared onfttKoj* annh a Ha v. one Il\J ** IVUOOO BUWVUV4 UHWW J ? year hence.

Mr. John H. Cullion, Editor of the Garland, Texas, News, has written a letter of congratulations to the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby he was subject to croupy spells and we would be very uneasy about him. -rrr- * : f>\ U?ru.,^k we DBgau usiusf v>uauiuouaiu o vuuKu Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to all of [ them with good results. One good, feature cf this remedy is that it is ! not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. I con^ gratulate you upon the Buecess of your remedy.'' For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Union Dots.

MiddletowD, O., suffered for ten years with dyspepsia. He spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and with doctors without receiving any permanent benefit. He says "One night while feeling exceptionally bad I was about to throw down the eveniDg paper when I saw r item in the paper regarding the merits of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I concluded to try it and while I had no faith in it I felt better after the second dose. After using two bottles I am stronger and better than I have been in years, and I recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to my friends and acquaintances suffering from stomach trouble." Sold by all druggist.

Over=Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minuses. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they filter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesandrheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected Kianey xrouDie. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The miid and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-g||!!S cent and one-dollar siz- I es. You may have sample bottle by mail Home of swamp-Root, free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Let us all sea if we can't prosper very much in the New Year, beginning at the first and aee if we cannot carry it out. * You will soon hear the farmers talking about turning the soil for the crops. Mr. Editor, how is this that the people of this country are getting married right at Christmas ? Mr.. Sidney McCartha spent a merry Xmas at Mr. G W Williams'. I think from the tone of his voice he will go soon again. Mr. R P. Slice Bpent Christmas with his uncle, Mr. J. J. Schwartz, at this place. I think the way Robert started, he will soon come again. There were many beautiful entertainments in our town during Christmas and I think the young people eD joyed themselves very much. Boys, it would be beet for you not to to smoke too hue cigars while out hunting, you might get strangled. Best wishes to our paper and its readers. W. M. 8Imperfect Digestion Means less nutrition and in consequence less vitality. When the liver fails to secrete bile, the blood becomes loaded with bilious properties, the digestion becomes impaired and the bowels constipated. Herbine will rectify ihit; it gives tone to the 6tomach, liver and kidneys, streDghens tne appetite, clears and improves the complexion, infuses new life and vigor to the whole system. 50 cents a bottle Sold by The Kaufmann Drug C< Social Items From Selmar.
