Tlio Virginia Carolina Chemical Company has sent hero a car-load of calcine marl which h given by the company to Laurens farmers to be used bj top-dresung for grain.

O.I Dear Sir: Two and two make four? not always; depends upon what "two and two" are. Two gallons of water and two gallons I of milk don't make four gallons of! milk. Neither does f mr gallons of paint | that's halt lime, whiting, clay and kero sene oil, make lour gallons of real paint. That's what we mean by saying "Fewer gallons; wears longer." It takes fewer gallons of DeVoe Lead and /ice than of mixed paints to paint a house, and it wears twice or three times as long as lead and oil, mixed by hand. Prowse & Pelton, Herklmer, N. Y., write: Mr. Ohas. Avery, of Herli'.mnr, bought 51 gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc to paint his live houses, bis paint er having figured that it would require at least that amount; 36 gallons did the work and he returned 15 gallons.

No one can have any reason for dis senting from the particulars and proofs which follow, for verification of the same is within easy reach ot every resident of this vicinity. That Doan's Kidney's Pills promptly and effect ually cure kidney complaints is sub stantiated not only in this particular case, but by all who have given them fair trial. Testimony likewise shows that you do not have to take them in definitely to bo cured. Walter McLachlln, a machine hand, employed at J. Holliday & Sons plan ing mill, Wheeling, W. Va., address 3032 Jacob street, says: "Had I not used Doan's Kidney Pills when 1 did I would not be alive now. I was in a bad condition, and although I took quarts of medicine I got no better, but worse. Friends spoke of my bad ap pearance and thousands knew about it. I could hardly get around and felt and looked like, dead man more than a living one. Doan's Kidney Pills were a blessing to me, half a box relieved j me, three boxes entirely cured me and I now I feel as though my back was as strong as that of any horse in Wheel ing. I would rather have a box of Doan's Kldey Pills than the services of all the doctors in the state. For sale by all dealera. Price, 60 cents. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N Y., sole agents for the U.

I wunder if he remembers, That good old man In Heaven, The class In the old rod school-house Known as the noisy (even. I wonder if he remembers, How restless we used to be, Or thinks we forgot the lesson Of Christ, in Gethsemane. I wish I could toll that story, As he used to tell it then, I am sure that with heaven's blessing I could reaeh tho hearts of men. That voice so touchlngly and tender Comes down to me through the years A pathos which seems to mlnglo, His own with the Savior's tears. I often wish I could tell him, Though we caused him so much pain By our thoughtless boy'sh frolic, His lessons were not in vain. I llko to toll him how Harry, Tho merriest one of us all, From the Christians' Held of battle, Went homo at the Master's ev?ll. I'd llko to toll him how Stephen, So brimming with mirth and fun, Now tells tho heathen in China The tale of tho Crucified one. I'd like to tell him how Joseph And Philip, and Jack and Jay, Are honored among tho churches The foremest men of their day. I'd like, ye?, I'd like to toll him, What his lesson did for me, And how I am trying to follow That Christ of Gethsemane. Perhaps he knows It already, For Harry has told him maybe That we are all treading ono pathway, Through Christ of Gethsemane. How many beside I know not, Will gather at last in Heavon, Tho fruit of that faithful sowing, But the sheaves are surely seven. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: "I was In an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tooguo coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given mo up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bieters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided Im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a woll man. I know they robbed the grave of an other victim." No one should fall to try them. Only 50 cents guaranteed, at Laurens Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co. Notice to Creditors.

My hus band Insisted that I take wine of Cardui for a week and see what It would do for me. 1 did take the medicine and was very grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two weeks I was out of bed and In a month I was able to take up my usual duties. I am very enthusi astic in its praise."
