ft Letter From Prof. Kemp.
/A friend in Barnesville lias re
ceived the following letter from Prof.
J. K. Kemp, which will be read with
interest by the public:
You can never know how com
forting and cheering your kind good
letter is to me. At first 1 grieved
much over my misfortune but consol
ing philosophical letters from sweet
good friends have helped me to be
<come reconciled to my fate. They
ihavc helped me to grow strong and
- well again. I have improved quite
rapidly and think now that 1 shall
have no cough, tuberculosis, no con
sumption within another month.
Long ago 1 lost that worn, weary,
dull-eyed look—am bright eyed, full
faced and ruddy now. J have gained
about fifteen pounds in flesh and am
ever so much stronger. lam anew
man already physically and have ta
ken no medicine save what nature
gives. If I had only rested earlier!
Jlut J could not till a physical break
down forced me. We are all just so
foolish.
How kind to me the Father has
been! 1 came out here to these
mountains—glorious old mountains,
to rest and recuperate for six weeks,
not dreaming that there was any
.serious break down of lung tissue.
Within two days after 1 reached the
state I was located on one of the
most beautitul ranches on the plateau.
I have since met unfortunates who
have been in the state for months
looking tor just such a place and had
found it. I found this place
through the Y. M. C. A., at Denver.
1 wish you could see my location. I
cus not attempt a description for my
-doctor forbids my thinking much —in
duct forbids my doing anything except
sis cat and rest —eat five times a day
and rest all the time. (H < ottrse I
ku* not done this to the letter but 1
have grown to be quite lazy. But I
think it would be inde 1 hard to find
a more beautiful, a more attractive j
spot than where 1 am in the very
.'heart of the grand old Rockies. I
am forty-five miles south ot Denver,
two miles west of Greenland with ma
jestic old Pike’s Pepk twenty five miles
to the south, though it seems not
move than five miles. My elevation
is about 7,200 feet. This gives us a
•clean, light, dry atmosphere. I'his
gives the most beautitul cloud banks,
the most beautiful aggregation of col
ors, shades and tints 1 have ever
seen. Sunrise and sunset here are
oft times beauties beyond description.
Even the moon with its reflected light
in this rare dry atmosphere brings
cloud beauties 1 had never dreamed
of. There are mountains all about
me- peeks and ridges with valleys
and plauis—all beautiful, comforting,
bespeaking the wonderful power and
love of God. If tired humanity did
but know of the peace, the comfort,
die cheer of these mountains! They
are beautiful too. They are clothed
■now in a wonderful array of color
<bue to a frost we had some days ago.
Pink and spruce grow towards the
tops of the mountains while scrubby
oaks grow around the base—an ivy
like growth—killislakinnick grow
ing here and there in clusters all over
the mountains—all combine to pro
duce a most wonderfully beautiful
picture. 1 can now fully understand
why our Savior withdrew to the
mountains for prayer and for rest.
About fifty cows arc now milked on
this ranch, you can imagine how I en-
joy milk, cream and butter.
Cream pitchers are not known here,
they put it on the table in gallon
pitchers and give you milk night and
morning just from the cow if you j
wish it. The cattle are all fine, j
short horns and Galloways, the milk
cows being worth from seventy five i
to a hundred dollars each. They arc
pretty, kind and gentle. I enjoy so
much being among them. I find
jgreat pleasure in riding out after
them in the afternoon to bring them
tip to be milked. Their calves are
fed on skimmed milk—do not know
their motive at all Now it is a beau
tiful eight to see the men feed these
•calves. 1 like to go among them too.
f'iverytlring here suggest life and vig
or—one could not but grow strong
and well here. My doctor advises
that Ido nothihg 'till January. Ido
not know what 1 shall try then. I
am simply waiting to grow rffcong and
-well, feeling that I can find work
* then. 1 have found many warm
friends—one a Georgian and Demo
cratic candidate for governor—sure
of election. I am often homesick,
for my wife and babies—live much in
I memory-in spirit at old Gordon In
-1 stitute but am not often “blue” or
I downcast. lam not at all discour
i aged. The Father has been too
kind to me tor that. lam sure that
I shall soon be able to work again
and that I can easily find work to do.
Still I do not expect to find another
Barnesville or Gordon Institute out
here. I know kinder, better people
never lived than live in Barnesville.
They were wonderfully kind to me
land 1 love them for it. Kindly re
member me to old friends, please.
1 How I wish I could step in at dear
I old Gordon Institute and see all the
! teachers —dear old fellow laborers.
I I am coming back too. Y’ours
[truly, J. E. Kemp.

A card on the outside of office doors
says: “Gone to lunch. Be back in ten
minutes.” And the man will he there
on time. That is, for some days, weeks,
or evn months, he will. Then lie will
be at home occasinally fora day. Me’lt
tell you he had a headache—a turn of
cholera morbus, or maybe lie’ll say lie
had a lump in his stomach and felt too
miserable to move. This lump was
probably two or tbree ten minute lunch
es condensed.
The man who “bolts” his lunches will
find Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets the
best friend lie ever met.
There is no case of biliousness, con
stipation, indigestion, heart burn, or
any of the rest of tlio niglit-tnare breed- j

not cure. They cure permanently. |

Nuisance committee offered fol
lowing remedy for the drainage of
water at the Oxford Knitting Mills:
We. your committee appointed to i
investigate the cause of standing
water and remedy for same, at the
Oxford Knitting Mills, beg to offer
the following recommendations:
First, that the street committee he
instructed to thoroughly clean out
the ditch on the side of mill, tronting
the R. R.. and give the water free
passage through sewerage at lower
end of mill and at junction of White
hall St. We further recommend,
that the said Oxford Knitting Mills,
be instructed to elevate the ground
on said side of Mill to throw the wa
ter across R. R., side track into said
ditch. Second, we would recom
mend that the side walk at lower
end of Mill and on Whitehall St., ‘
where pond of water is now standing,
be elevated to sufficient height to
prevent water from standing on same,
and put sewerage across said street
to throw water in ditch on opposite
side and into sewerage already fixed
for its passage.
We further recommend that the
said Oxford Knitting Mills be in
structed and commanded to fill in
basin at said lower end of mill the
same height as sidewalk is elevated
to throw water in its natural course

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country Ilian all other diseases
put together,! and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
lias proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Cos.,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nal! in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucuous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

THE NEW WAY.
PYT7OMEN used j
to think “fe- ]
male diseases ”
could on 1 y be
treated after “lo- j
ca 1 examina- j
tions” by physi- j
cians. Dread of i
such treatment j
kept thousands of |
modest women j
silent about their
suffering. The in- I
troduction of j
Wine of Cardul has now demon- j
strated that nine-tenths of all the j
cases of menstrual disorders do j
j not require a physician’s attention <
at all. The simple, pure '
Wni
taken in the privacy of a woman’s
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of “female troubles”—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
“whites,” change of life It make3
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. SI.OO at
