The old Nolan law office on the west side of the public square be tween the Dunn House and Weleh- Hnnt Supply Co., has been torn away this week. When the workmen began the work of pulling down this old build ing naturally the da's tt.gone were recalled by the older citizens of tDo town and much that is now almost forgotten was recalled, n«>t only of tln> incidents dealing directly with this building but many other his toric matters of the county. 'Fltis old house was the building in which the first Baptist, church of the town was constituted. Hon. R. Nolan, in a historic sketch of the town has the following to say about it: “The first Baptist church ever built in town was erected near the road and in front present edi fnce" (Old Baptist church). “It was subsequently sold and rolled up to the public square where it now stands.” Mr. Nolan bought the house in 1852 and has remained in that fam ily since that time. The exact date of the erection of the building is not known but, it was sometime between 1820 and '3O In the early thirties there was a groat deal of discussion among the Baptist and finally a division of this denomination, one wing form ing the Primitive Baptist and the other the Missionary Baptist. In this house occurred many of the first discussions that resulted finally in the split of the Baptist churches, and prominent among the leaders in tli >so discussions in this old house was Rev. Jesse Mer cer, one of the greatest and most beloved ministers of the Baptist denomination. The house since it has been on the public square lias been used for almost every kind of a business ev er carried on in McDonough. For many years it was used by Col. T. (’. Nolan for his law office. In re cent years it lias been used as a barber simp and the town marshal’s office. It is very probable that in the near future a modern brick struct ure will be erected on the site of I old historic building. Farm For Rent.

What To l)o. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every v ish 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 ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing eases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
