W rm UnuimIs 8m Kidney * "end Neier Snpect it Prevalency of Kidney Dlwaae. Most people do not realize the alarm- Ine increase and remarkable prevalency • of kidney disease. While kidney dis- t. j&i ti^z d s e rc~ diseases that pre* vail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and phy sicians, vAo con tent themeelves ^ trifh doctoring the effect*, while the orig inal disease undermines the system. What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Ro >t, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the hack, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night, i he mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis- te-essing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. .Sold by drug gists in fifty-cent ami one-dollar sizes.

REPUBLICANS SURE OF A LICK ING IN NOVEMBER. Big with importance of a new dis covery, a London preacher says, “Never check the flowing tide of wo-t man’s talk.” We never heard of any body who ever did.—Chicago Post. It is announced that there will be five “Paid In Full” companies on the road next season. Although There Are Several Other National Tickets, Bryan is Sure to be Elected. Filbert, R. P. D. 1, July 20—I un derstand that Mr. E. P. Castles, of Smyrna, the well known school teach er, Is teaching, the Filbert school. Mr. M. A. McDaniel, who lives on Mr. J. G. Brown’s place, lost a fine cow a few days ago. One of Mr. Brown’s cows horned it so severely that it had to be killed. Master Emmet Howe, son of Mr. Meek Howe, is ill with fever at this writing (Friday). Mr. Martin Whitesides was the vic tim of what might have been a rather serious accident on last Monday af ternoon. The mule which he was riding from the field to the barn, be came frightened at a peal of loud thunder, and threw him violently to the ground and trampled upon him, but with no more serious results than several painful bruises. I have met several people who, in speaking of Tom Watson, seemed to consider him somewhat socialistically inclined in his political views. But if Watson is a Socialist, I don’t know what Socialism is—although I am aware that I am not a Solomon. I hear of much visiting, sickness, fighting, and so forth and so on, about here and there, in the country now. I am almost persuaded to believe that the Republican party is in for a good licking, next November, at the hands of Col. Bryan. Although the Socialist leader says that Bryan just can’t be elected, no use talking about It. The Prohibitionists, Populists and Socialists also have national tickets in the field, but I have already dis cussed Populism at some length in a former letter, so I’ve nothing more to say on it at present. I will, however, say this much: Let every party that so desires, put out a national ticket, for the more there Is, the merrier It will be. The Lord of the universe is ruling our country anyway, so what can “mere man” do, all by himself? Truth is bound to triumph, so never fear. Not every one of us knows what the country needs or what’s the mat ter with It; but we all think we know what we should do if we were “in power,” as the saying Is. I am whacking away at this, you are hammering away at that, and the third fellow is battling strenuously for something else, but meanwhile God Is taking care of the land for all of us. We can’t possibly do It our selves, and we know It. But If cer tain evil geniuses, which are at work In this country today, aren’t curbed, they will result in ultimate ruin to our fair land. I, however, believe that the “Lord of all” Is able, abund antly able, to do the curbing. So I am hoping mlghtly In the future. ’Tis said that Bryan has not a trace of humor in hls face. Now, that’s queer. Taft has not a trace of genius in hls mental regions, either. I trust our kind editor may not be come shocked at my unconventional expressions, now, for I flatter myself that I am an unconventional penman. I desire to get close to my readers, and my readers to get close to me. In this way we can teach one another something, although I can acquire more knowledge from my readers than I can impart to them. We should live to learn, anyone who has stomach disorders Mr. W. J.

It was then applied from one sprinkling head, the sprin kler passing slowly back and forth over the road to facilitate the com plete absorption of the solution. Each application consisted of 600 gallons over an area of 1,582 square yards, or 0.3S gallons per square yard. A marked improvement In the condi tion of the road was noted at once, and after the second treatment it was necessary to repeat the operation only at Isolated spots. The use of the wa ter wagon, which had before made committees have finished up their work and are only awaiting for the dawning of the morning of the 25th. All the speaking will come off in the church, except Messrs. Finley and Butler, as the committee thinks the chtirch is not the place for politics. We are again requested to sak all visitors to the picnic to put their names very plainly on their baskets or boxes, as the case may be, as it will save trouble and perhaps a total loss of dishes.
