are often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is al

— vital organd or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell,
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times.during the night. The mild and the
extraordinaiy effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about it, both Home of Swamp-Root,
sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.
Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention
reading this generous offer in this paper.
Don't make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,

CASTOR! A
T. A. 0. Club Meeting.
Capricious April was never more
gracious than 6n the 2nd inst.,when
the T. A. 0. assembled at the lovely
home of Mrs. B. 0. Holtzclaw, and
her sunshine seemed reflected in the
faee of our hostess as she welcomed
and introduced us to her charming
guest of honor, Mrs. Chappell of
Maeon.
The season’s greeting eame bright
ly to us frdm the lovely flowers that
beautified every room. One knew
not before how graoefully the pure
white dogwood blossums could lend
to decoration; nor yet how loth old
winter could be to yield the palm of
beauty to spring, until one saw her
rival offering to the occasion of ex
quisite crimson camellias.
The afternoon was replete with
pleasure, added zest being given by
the presence of so many of our fair
young ladies. The game, an obser
vation contest, made bright eyes
grow brighter, as we walked slowly
around a table on whioh lay various
articles. As Miss Oorinne Baldwin
can lay claim to the brightest pair
of eyes, perhaps that is why she is
so successful in the (< game of hearts.”
The dainty silver heart won by her
in the contest was presented by Miss
Lula Houaer in her usual graceful
manner.
Delioious fruit punch and elegant
refreshments were served, and the
guests went home vising with each
other in exclamations expressive of
praise and enjoyment.

—Owing to the clouds, and the
lack of information, compara
tively few people in Perry notioed
the eclipse of the full moon last
Saturday evening. At about 6
o’clock the eclipse was nearest
complete, only a slender crescent
on the north edge being visible.
At about 8 o’clock the shadow of
the earth had passed and the en
tire moon was again visible, the
eclipse having begun before the
moon was visible above the hori
zon. An eclipse of the full moon
is rare, and those who failed to
see the phenomenon last Saturday
will hot have suoh another oppor
tunity in. many years.
—Since Saturday rain has very
much interfered with farm work
that was already backward. In
some sections corn planting has
not been completed, and very few
farmers, comparatively, have fin
ished planting cotton. Let us
hope, however, that none will de
termine that it is best to plant
cottbn on land that had been in
tended for corn. That idea is en
tertained by farmers in the same
situation in all the cotton produc
ing states.
—“Strength and vigor come of
good food, duly digested. ‘Force,’
a ready-to-serve wheat and barley
food, adds no burden but sustains,
nourishes, invigorates.”

Mr. Wendell D. Croom died at his
home near Powersville at noon last

was justice of the peace of his dis
trict, and for at least two terms a
member of the board of County

In his neighborhood he enjoyed

gered in ill health.
Surviving him are a son and two

'Mrs. R. S. Howard of near Byron
