A gang of laborers was employed digging a mysterious ditch across the street. It was a sewer, or a place to f iut a gas-pipe or something. One man n particular was working as if he were a chorus man in a play—just going through the motions and pretending to dig a ditch. The foreman came along and spoke to him. “Don’t be afraid, he said with rich sarcasm. “Lean on th’ shovel now an’ thin. If it breaks I’ll pay for it.” NEWNAN’S REPLY Newnan Accepts the Evidence and Mapy Newnan Beadera Will Profit by it. Which is the more weighty proof— a few words from a Newnan resident, whom we know and respect, or vol umes from strangers in distant towns? There can be only one reply. Mrs. W. H. Sewell, Spence Ave„ Newnan, says: “I suffered so from my back that I could not get up when I was down. I was alwayB in misery and was so sore and lame that I could not do any work. I got up in the morn ing feeling more tired than the night before. Headaches nearly drove me mad and the kidney secretions caused me much annoyance. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from J. F. Lee Drug Go., and they relieved the pains in my back and put my kidneys in good order. When I nave any signs of kid ney trouble now, I always use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and they relieve me.” Price 60c., at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sewell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Medal offered to boys winning Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
