Lots In Laurens are eheap. These lurae men, with the rent money they :< '-e paying, can all own homes v. which they will take pride and which will grow more valuable eaoh year.

What bettor proof of merit can be had than such endorsement. D. M. Stribbling. proprietor of Dairy farm, four mi los out on the Clinton Road, says: ''I am highly pleased with tho results I obtained from the two of Doan's Kidney Pills which I used for backache and kidney trouble. I suf fered for some years with n du 1 aching pain across tho small of my back, es pecially bad at night. At times it was so sevore that I was totally unfit to at tt n 1 to my work. The kidney secro ti >ns were dark colored, full of brick du?t sediment and of a vory strong odor. At night I was obliged to rise frequently which together with tho constant backache and lo?s of sleep caused my genorul health to be very poor. I used any number of remedies and took doctors prescriptions but it was tho same old thiug, very little if any relief. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills and went to tho Palmetto Drug Co.'s store and got a box of them.

I WANT TO SAY A few words to the man who is in debt. If you have a mortgage on your home, and die before it is raised, who is going to raise it? Your widow will be pretty well occupied with the job of raising your children whom you have left on her hands without sufficient means of sup port. YOU find it hard enough to raise that mortgage, and you know well enough that your little widow will find it absolutely impossible, unless you leave enough life in surance to pay it off. If you are a man worthy of wearing breeches, you don't want your widow to be forced to take herself and children back to her father for shelter. There's just one way to guarantee that this will not occur?buy life insurance. That's what the companies are built for. If you are forty years old, we will sell you a policy for $20.00, $32.00 or $42.00 per thousand, and every policy is secured by deposits with the Government of Indiana.
