SHELL & COMPANY (Do your Christmas Fruitcake Shopping Nnw.) * LISBON NS'. * Lisbon, Dec. 5.-We are doing the best we can under the circumstances, short crops with a short price to comn pare with former years. when we ex pected at least 12 or 13 cents for outr cotton. Who is to blame? Well, if you will believe our version of the matter we are wholly to blame. We very often remark to our friends on our way to Laurens, how can we ex pect anything but hard times when we seo nothing but red hills with nothing but cotton scattered all over every nook and corner. We aire caught, and we have to look to some other source for relief than cotton. We think that the people have waked up to the realization that we have to raise more food stuff for man and beast from the fIlelds of wheat and oats you can see going from pllace to place. We have in a degree got in the labbit of buying everything we need at Laurens and other places and that is one ,reason we do not raise corn, wheat, oats and hogs, from the fact we (ol't want to have all tlis trou lle. ThIe west is getting a good irice for their produce on account of this great war, while we are getting so little for what We have produced. wve have file job of a(justlg matteri's and It is 11p to us to do it. There is but. littie cottoil in the llid right at this tilme yet it may take until aifter the holidays before tle peoile get through If it don 't, Stoll iinA. Those Who have a good hog to kill are looking forward for tho weather to get cold that they may enjoy them. We have to take things as we find then and do the best we can. The merchants and bankort litde' done their part fil IV in thie. matter and we hope that they will get the last dollar that is due them in the end.

Few people realize to what extent their health de)en~lds u)on the condi tion of the kidneys. The physican In nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical anal ysis of the patient's urine.
