Firother subscribers: We have
a good county paper, ana i would
be delighted to see every old subscribei
send in the name of a new
subscriber with the cash. And.
Mr. Reader, the editor would be
glad if those owing him would pay
up The loss of one dollar to a
man is a small thing, but if two
or three hundred subscribers fail
to pay it i? a big loss to the editor.
This is election year, and I wish
to sneak to the candidSites. Lei
1
each candidate, while canvassing
the county, solicit casli subscriptions
for The Kecokd, and thirty
days before the primary report to
the editor the number of subscribers,
and the candidate who gets
the greatest number will be the
best man on Crawfish Island.

Hunting For New Writers.
Eight thousand manuscripts
were received by The Ladies Uome
Journal during the year just clos-1
ed. Each was given a careful
reading, but out of the entire nutnI
'
her only eighty were found worthy
of publication The manuscript
bureau of The Ladies Home
Journal is operated at a large expense,
but the hope of discovering
new writers or some aspirants
with undeveloped talent warrants
the outlay. It can be seen that
the articles secured by such a
careful winnowing process brings
the cost of each up to and above j
the remuneration paid our best!
writers. '
These facts bring refutation to
the oft-repeated but none the less
erroneous assertion that only well
known writers of established literary
reputation are able to find a
place tor their work in the magazines.
Exactly the contrary is
true. The Ladies Home Journal,
through the manuscripts considered^
three or lour new writers of
excellent merit and great promise,
and this "find" its editor regards
as fully warranting the large outlay
of maintaining an expensive
bureau for reading all the manuscripts
submitted.

"VThat to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot.
the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, 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
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra*
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won*
ll cures of the most distressing cases.
