Friday begging und our citizen’s respond¬
ed to them and they went and bought

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with
lirih and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates a diseased
Condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence ot kid¬
ney tfduble. Too frequent desire to uri¬
nate ot pain in the back, is also Convinc¬
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
Often expressed, that Dr. fvilmer’s Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
tlie uniary passage. It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pains in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or lieer, and overeomes)that uiijileas
ant necessity of being compelled to get
up many times during the night to uri¬
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distrr-singjcascs. If you need
a medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fiifty cents and one dcl
ar. Fora sample bottle and pamplet,
both sent free by mail, mention the Advo¬
cate-Democrat ard send your full posi
afflee address to Dr. Kilmer * (Jo., Bing¬
hamton, N.Y. The proprietors or this
paper guar?ntee the genuineness of ,fc1*
Offer.
We have not a single idle hand In our
town, The colored people have all taken
to the country it seems, and gone to farm¬
ing, If you want a little extra job done
you have to do it yourself.
We have had a pretty cold snap for
several days past. Some thiuk the fruit
is injured. We hope not though, there is
not much to Injure as the trees were brok¬
en up so by the sleet and freeze.
Mr. A, D. Moore killed a fine l;og last

AU the beef you get now adays is al¬
ready seasoned with onions.
Rev. F. I\ and Dr. L. R. Brown have

Our people are making every spare
minute count in their farms and gardens.
You can hear the gee and haw on all
sides now tile farmers have gone at it

time to attend to it and their mind is on
their profession.

line.
Some of our townsmen enjoy them¬
selves now during their idle minutes in

ye Scribe is as big a fool as anybody
about it and I am fifty-five years old.
Mr. Ul wrance Battle of our town we
understand has bought himself a nice
horse and buggy. The next thing Mr.
Battle will look after we expect will be

investment we thiuk.

male person present but we enjoyed our¬

ing a good dinner which was not hard to
take on these hard times.
Our Dr. A. C. Davidson has been kept
pretty busy attending the sick recently.
The Doctor’s horse left him in the mud
one day last week. The single tree broke
and the Doctor had to walk in town but
he soon got it mended up again by going
tt> A. D. Moore's temple of industry.

tor was burnt to death near here on Mon¬
day last. Dr. A. C. Davidson was called
in to see her but could do no good. She
was almost burnt to a crispout-side. people This
should be a warning to playing older frolic- not
to let their children be or
ing around fires out in the ground new grounds. burning
The girl was out in a new

with her. Fire is a dangerous element
to contend with.
