Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
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 fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches andrheu-
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. 8
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 mail Homo of swomp-Root.
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
& 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.

About Our Court House.
Mr. Editor—
Not many weeks since you had
something to say about the court
house in Perry, “for the public
good,” I want to say, Mr. Editor,
I endorse everything in the article
referred to. Men, you know, are
largely judged by the houses they
live in and the elothes they wear.
All towns and cities are judged very
much by their public buildings. No
than hunting a location wants to lo-
oate in a town where the public
buildings are neglected and allowed
to remain in a dilapidated condition;
he very naturally concludes, if they
are in suoh condition, there is lack
of enterprise and capital.
Houston county is second to no
county in this Empire State of the
south. Her oitizenship will compare
with any in the state; her culture
and refinement are proverbial; her
soil, climate and water are par
excellent; her products as varied as
any county in Georgia. She has ex
cellent publio schools; many of her
school buildings are good, and her
^church buildings—some of them—
are superior, and all good.
Now what Houston county most
needs is a court house modeled after
the modern style of publio buildings
with room enough for every county
official to have an office. We are
behind oor sister counties only in
the matter of our publio buildings.
As has already been suggested, an
annex to the present building, some
thing like the annex to the court
house in our sister county of Pulas
ki, would give us a first-class, mod
ern building, and one that every cit
izen of the oounty would be proud of.
Houston county is out of debt, so
say the grand jury in their present
ments, and the little increase in the
taxes would not be feit by the peo
ple. Hoping and believing our
county commissioners will see the
great importance of this movement
and act as spnedily as they can,
I am, respectfully,
A Tax Paver.
The discussion of the court house
problem is timely, in view of the
fact that the building is an eye-sore,
unsafe and dangerous. It seems to
me that it should be rebuilt or re
paired is a self-evident proposition
and needs no argument, but there
may be some who honestly take a
different view.
While it is true that it is public
property, it is also true that every
citizen of Houston county has a
private interest in the court house.
While it may be true that should
the old building collapse and kill ev
ery publio officer, their places could
be easily aud quickly filled, it is not
true that were it to collapse and
two, three or four hundred citizens
be killed, their places could be filled.
Some may ask, where the danger?
The danger shows and speaks for it
self, and nine men out of ten, after
giving the house a thorough inspec
tion will doubtless conclude, “if I
had to stay in that house I would
like to see it repaired.”
It is argued by some ihat more
room is needed to accommodate the
public officers of the county. Of this
I am not so sure,but I do know that
I have seen on many occasions two
sets of officers trying to do business
in the same office, which very much
crowded their work, to say the least
of it.
A few thousand dollars spent in
making the court house safe will be
well spent. Let it be done and done
at once. Next. Progress.

Mr. Baldwin Jones, a prominent
citizen of Twiggs county, was shot
and killed by Mr. B. A. Kitchens
in Macon last Thursday afternoon.
Kitchens rented a farm from Jones
and was living in the house with
him. Kitchens claims the shooting
was in self-defense, but he has been
indicted for murder by the grand
jury of Bibb county. No one wit
nessed the shooting.

Drowned in Flint River.
It was reported in Perry last Sat
urday afternoon that during that
morning Mr. Hill Hammock was
drowned in Flint river, about eight
miles west of Fort' Valley. Later
that report was verified.
The oircumstance of the tragedy
were substantially as follows:
A party of Houston county gen
tlemen were at the river fishing.
Mr. Hammook and a negro servant
were in a batteau. The negro was in
one end of the boat fishing a “trot
line,” his back toward the other end
of the boat, where Hammock was
using the oars. The negro beard
a splash in the water and,turning his
face in that direction, saw the feet
of Mr. Hammook as he disappeared
beneath the water. The negro called
frantically for assistance, but as the
body did not rise to the surface at
all, the efforts at recovery were in
effective. Late into the night and
through three days large numbers
of friends engaged in the searoh for
the body, but without success. At
the plaoe where he fell into the riv
er the water is exceedingly swift.
The cause of his faiiing is unknown.
Mr. Hammock was a citizen of
Houston county, an ensrgetio aud
progessive farmer, highly esteemed
for his genial personality and ster
ling qualities throughout the section
embracing, Fort Valley, Hollinshed,
Powersville, Perry and Myrtle. He
was about 26 years old, unmarried,
the younget bou of Mr. A. H. Ham
mock of the Ninth district.
The dreadful accident oauses muoh
sorrow, Jand the many friends and
acquaintances of his parents, broths
era and Bisters sincerely sympathise
with them in their bereavement
The Qui ViveVlinch Club.
This club, which takes iu the
neighborhood called Centerville, and
reaohes from Dunbar to Hattie and
to Toy, is one of the liveliest and
most alert in the state.
Its last meeting convened at the
hospitable home of Mr. A. F. Smith,
where a jolly crowd gathered to en
joy this jolly game. The tables were
arranged as if for progressive eu
chre, with four at a table; thus there
was no crowding.
At 10:30 o’clock Miss Johnson,
who acted as hostess, served delight
ful refreshments, which all seemed to
enjoy exceedingly.
For a while tongues wagged mer
rily about other matters not pertain
ing to Flinch. Then, after Mr. Han
cock had treated us to one of his
characteristic reoitations, all settled
down to earnest playing.
At 12 o’clock this jolly crowd dis
persed, to meet next Friday evening
at the home of Miss Fleta Hancock,
Apropos of Flinch, millions of peo
ple have cause to bless the man who
invented the game. There is a larg
er social quality than in almost any
other entertainment extant, It ap
peals to everybody. Even small chil
dren can play it, and enjoy it, though
the most learned minds find much
pleasure in it, too.
Another thing that commends the
game—it brings the young people
in closer touch with their elders in
social entertainment. Again, it is a
game that keeps young people so
constantly on 'the “qui vive” that
they don’t have to make love to each
other, and say those “soft nothings”
that are often soft nothings, sure
enough.
But good-bye, till we rally around
the tables at Miss Hancock’s.

Mr. Fred. T. Walker, formerly of
Houston oounty, nephew of Messrs,
Joel T. and Prank Walker of near
Bonaire, died suddenly at his home
in Macon county last Friday. Heart
disease was said to be the cause of
his death. He had many friends in
Houston county who sincerely sym
pathize with the wife, daughters
and other relatives in their time of
sorrow. He was a progressive and
educated farmer, a gentleman of
splendid character.
