aud he will not fork one* day longer

believe if th/ commissioners would
make the overseers work five days in
the year, with t)ha privilege of work
ing longer in c ( !ise of emergency, it
would pro\e more satisfactory. Al
most any roetd in the county could
have five,.days’ work spent very
profitably f bn it, dut there are plenty
roads in (the county which if they
were worked twenty days and the
twenty-prat day there Bhould fall

would immediately be impassable.

George Thomas (a negro) gave the
medicine to John Lamar (another
negro). John being sick, sent for
the doctor, who, on his arrival at
John’s house, found George the on
ly one to wait on John. After ex
animation, the doctor left medicine
for John,with instructions to George
to give John every four hours as
much as would lie on a dime. The
next day when the doctor arrived he
found John dead, and after asking
George pointedly about size of dose
given, George replied: “I gin it jes’
as you say, 'oept I hpd no dime an’
I- jea’ took two aickles."
We think our overseers know how
much will lie on a dime and will ad
minister it in proper doses. L, N.
Ex-Slave Pensions.
!'
By a Colored School Teachar.
A good deal has been said about
ex-slave pensions, and a great deal
of money has been given away to
push the movement as it went, and
I suppose the led-away ex-slaves
gave a good pension to those move
menters, and 1 know' those where I
live have received no pension, and
have no fitting place for their chil
dren to go to school while it is cold;
they helped push the movement just
as though they and the movement-
era could push an ex-slave pension
bill through oongress. It would be
better had they given the money
for a district sehoolhouse.
If all ex-slaves would agree with
me, they would pay no attention to
the so-called ex-slave pension clubs
and wait ’til the introduced bill be
comes a law, then go to the ap
pointed place to draw pensions. We
have men to make our laws. All the
ex-slave pension clubs in this world
and the dark world can’t pass an ex
slave pension bill. My dear people
hate to see you fnade fools of and
then robbed of your little money. If
there is a pension for you, you will
undoubtedly get it.
Of. course some ex-slaves have
been pensioned, but they were sol
diers. You must not be fooled by
that. If they paid anything it was
for identification, and held no clubs
at all. You do not need to hold
clubs.
/ Please believe me and keep your
money for the education of your
grand-children. They need it, and
are more entitled to it than those
movement raisers.

All the blood in your body passes through
yout kidneys once every three minutes. ^
. ^*in ^ The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fall to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or. unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty-
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mall Homo ot swnmp.Root.
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
fie Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Don’t make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N. Y., on every bottle.
