will restore your kidneys and bladder
to their normal state and activity.

Editor County Record:?
Will you kindly allow me a little
of your valuable space to make an
explanation? At the beginning of
i the school term that has just closed j
11 offered a gold medal to the girls of j
| the eighth grade, to be given to the
' one making the highest average during
the entire year. Miss Jennie
Lee Stackley made the highest mark
i among the girls of this grade and
was, therefore, entitled to receive
jthe medal, but for some reason;1
which I Oppose was satisfactory to
them, but which I have never been
able to understand, those in authority
refused to allow the medal presented
at the closing exercises of the
: school. I was forced, therefore, to
I present it privately, and take this
method of letting the public know
I the facts in the case. I congratu:
late Miss Jennie Lee on having won
: the medal and hope she will derive
| as much pleasure from wearing it
1 as it gave me to present it?

id He having removed from our j

iend, Robert E Lee; therefore, ]
Be It Resolved: That we bow in {

That we, as a lodge, feel keenly ;
lr loss; both as a counsellor and
iend, his big heart and cheerful
isposition were always an inspira- i
on to us for noble things.
And as his spirit crossed "the riv:
that marks the unknown shore,"
e can truthfully say that his hands
ere filled were filled with deeds of
larity and in them the keys to ope
le palace of eternity.
Peace to his ashes and at the last
reat day may we be a united brothrhood
to share the blessings of life
ternal.
Resolved: That a page in our minte

His subject was weU, chosen,
full of thought, comprehensive and
instructive even unto those least favored
with educational advantages.
Mrs Will N Harben sang very de
lightfully "The Holy City," while
