Myers, the well-known shoemaker of Winchester avenue and 14th street, Ashland, Ky., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are like true friends, the longer you know them the better they are appreciated. I can add nothing to the statement I first made in 1806 af ter I procured the remedy at the Ven tura Drug Co., and took a course of the treatment, which cured me. I was absolutely free from all backache for nearly three years, then I noticed a slight ache, as the result of a cold in my back. A box of Doan Kidney Pills disposed of it. I have recommended this remedy to many, and havo never heard of one who did not endorse the claims made for it." For sale by all dealers. Price, f?0 cents. Foster-Milburn Co,, Buffalo, N.

Ward 2 Kicker Claims thnt Other Parts of the Cit y Fail to Got Their Rights. Editor Advkrtiser, Put:?Please put mo in the Kicker's Column, for I am protesting against a recent action of tho Town Council. I understand that Council by a ma jority voto recently, decided that the first act of the new administration should bo to expend somo six or eight thousand dollars on Main Street. And pray what does Main Street so urgently need? It has already been graded and macadamized for nearly two miles and would be considered by the people who travol it bringing to market their cotton and other produce a good street, for it has a rock bottom to it. But the favored residents say that parts of it are tn? -rough (rocky) for a nice drive; besides, a portion is covered with mud about shoo deep. Laurens Street had mud this winter knee deep, and that almost within a s one's throw of tho public square. Whilo it may not bo used as much as Main, it is au important feedor of the town, being used by one of tho beBt sections of the county. Then look at North Harper! Impor tant as Main and pays more taxes, re presenting as it does the cotton mills. This street has been graded and ready for the macadam. During tho past winter it was almost without a bottom. In fact it was so bad right here in town that we could scarcely get to the ceme tery to bury our dead. Coitpled with above is another ^rand conception ".?; <y;,^ ?;i?t5nguishe.d Coun cil provided it bad^mVney to burn; tvijd provrfled further, if It were not de stined to beoQmo a-**?erltabhi death tr?p; It is to poiistruct a magnifleont usling some olght or ten thousand dollars, across tho ravino on South Harper, nt Whitten's shop, to extend from hill to hill on a level with the railroad. And pray what does South Harper want with a bridge? It too has been graded and macadamized south of the branoh, and tho short hill noxt to town does not work up into mud. See ing these things are true, why does Council, as now constituted, persist in this extravagance and discrimination? I venturo to say that as individuals they would not consider It good business in their private affairs; then why should it be in public affairs? They cannot think it fair or just to discriminate against certain sections or classes of olt'zens; and it certainly cannot be that that they aro inimical (o any par ticular claps. So then to come down to tho gist of the matter: What spirit is actuating this Counc'.l, to cause it to act so un reasonably, aoy way? |ts it one of equity and fair play? A desire to speuJ^, the people's money to the best advan tages of all? Or docs it smack too much of selfishness, or of a spirit of retalia tion or resentment for something a pre vious Council had done? Yes, we do feel oggrleved, because shamefully neglected so long. We are law-abid'ng citizens and should have r ghts. To be ignored invites opposi tion. Lot Council build up the two re maining thoroughfares half as good as Main now is and there will be no more kicking. Out of the mud fl>st, then boulevards. Tho two projects above mentioned will cost eomo $14.0^0.00 to |16,000.00 and not a cent in the treasury that can bo rightfully aonroprln-'od to that end What will Council do? Why, borrow money of course. But perhaps one Coun cil has no legal right to bind a succeed ing Council,and a too flagrant violation may be contestel. We pload for fair play?nothing more. In this article wo disclaim any per sonalities. The members of Council are our friends, tho personnol of whloh runs about this way: J. C. Owings, Main Street; Dr. T. E. Todd, Main Street; W. P. Chlldress, MainStreel; Mayor Gray, llttlooff, but property on Main Stveel; Claronpe Babbj South Uarper, yrhich gets the bridge; Dr. W. H.
