VACANCIES FILLED TEMPORARILY
The Resignation of Several Teachers
In the Americus Schools and In*
creased Attendance Cause
of the Trouble.
Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood;
All the blood In your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
Impurities In the blood.
If they are sick er out
of order, they fail to dc
their work.
Pains; aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess cf uric acid In the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
ICldncy trouble causes quick or unsteady
hear; beats, and makes one feel as thou-ii
■they fcad heart trouble, because the heart is
ever-working In pumping thick, kldney-
poijoned blood through veins and arteries.
I; used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
'* constitutional diseases have their begln-
n; in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
y.4 the extraordinary eflect of Dr, Kilmer's
awarop-Root, the great kidney remedy Is
soon realised. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressingeases
and is sold on Its merits
oy all druggists in fifty-
esnt and one-dollar sls-
You may have a
sample bottle by mail item, .r SmapRoot
(rce. also pamphlet telling you how to find
out If you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton. N. Y.
Don't rr.ako any' mistake, but remember
0 name. Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmcr'a
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N on every bottle.
The first week of the fall session of
the Americus public schools ended
yesterdsy with!the largest attendance
there ever known. Every room in all
the grades js filled to the doors, and
many others will apply for admission
during next week.
Just what will be done with the
“surplus" Is a problem. Supt Miller
has not yet solved.
The problem Is rendered more
complicated by the resignation
three of the teachers recently, and
some difficulty has been experienced
in getting others to fill the vacancies.
Prof. Duncan first resigned to ac
cept a better position in Columbus,
and Prof. Newton was advanced to
the position of principal In Mr. Dun
can’s place. Prof. Rex McKellar
now teaching in the position vacated
by Prof. Newton.
The Board of Education hopes
be able to retain Prof. McKellar per
manently, as be Is a very capable
teacher.
Miss Jenie Holls and Miss Clara
Hall, two highly competent teachers,
declined re-eleotlon to the faculty
for this term. Miss Hall goes to
Florida soon to accept a very desir
able and lucrative position as teach
er, to the regret of her friends here,
Mrs. W. D. Moreland and Mrs. J.
E. Hightower, both very capable in
structors, are aiding the schools by
filling positions temporarily.

Irregularity Is bad in every department of life, in meals, in sleeping hours, *
but especially when it is a question of womanly habit. Not only is it a sign of
female disease, but, unless cured, it will cause dangerous troubles, because of
the poisons thus allowed to remain in the system.

Supposed.
MILLIONS OF TAGS
READY FORBAGk
Mrs. Frank Stanley, of Americus,
was given a fright yesterday which
will cause her to cut out rubber
snakes from the list of household toys
for some time. There was such an
article about the house, and seeing It
colled upon the top of a trunk, as
she supposed, Mre. Stanley picked
it up. And then she dropped It right
away, .before anyone told her. As'
she seized the supposed “rubber”
snake it sprang into a coll around
her arm, but was quickly thrown off
by the terribly frightened lady and
killed upon the floor. The snake was
of the species known as rat snakes.
It is oftlmea seen lurking in. houses
In search of prey, and Is not ven
omous. The shake picked up by Mrs.
Stanley was three feet In length and
very prettily marked.
