Louisville, Ky., Dec., 31, 1897.
—1 have been thinking for several
weeks of sending the Journal a

other prevented. 1 noticed some
time since that the editor warned his
readers I intended to “keep an render eye on Jeapj”

of “wire-grass” Georgia. The trip
was eminently satisfactory, contracted with the
exception of a severe cold
on my return.
Stopping over in Atlanta a short
while, I found Senator Strother at
his post and as courteous and materially jovial
as ever, lie aided very
in rendering my brief stay in the
Gate City both pleasant and profita¬
ble. “A friend in need is a friend
indeed.” I’m sorry Bro. Hogan was
absent.
On reaching Jeanette the depot in Louis¬ and
ville I found in waiting

had her plans all laid and arrange¬
ments all perfected for spending the
holidays amid the “red hills of old
Lincoln,” but finally abandoned the
idea in view of another more extended
triji towards spring. delightful

professors and together
with the married students and their
wives, were invited to dine with th,e

There are in our school fifty mar

Everything is moving along nicely.
Several of the ladies (Jeanette among
them), attend lectures regularly. covered
Our city Inis been partially

The coldest day up to date was four¬
teen degrees above zero.
I am delighted to see that the
Woodlawn and Amity boys are man¬
ifesting such an interest in debates.
Keep it up, boys, it will do you
good. Also report to the Journal
regularly. Journal is small, but I tell

hope the correspondents will all
stand by the editor during 1898, and
help to make it a regular hustler.
Of course the editor cannot, run all
over the county to pick up the news.
No doubt many interesting things
occur that never reach him, just tie

news would hardly be appreciated as
highly us the dots from old Lincoln.

who will write up what pertainetb to
any part of Lincoln county. Won’t,
you do that?
With our best wishes for the Jour¬
nal's success during 1898, and for
the prosperity of all that is good and
upright in Lincoln, and for the sup¬
pression of all that is evil, allow me
to close. Very kindly,

ONE OF TWO WATS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a it receptacle is liable for the
urine, and as such not to
any form of disease except bv one
two ways. The first way is from
tmperfeot action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
ireatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of hladdei
troubles. So the womb, like the
b adder, was created for one purpose
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. It is situated back
and very close to the bladder, there¬
fore any pain, disease or inconven¬
ience manifested in the kidneys, back
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort. The error is easily made and
may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty-four hours, a sediment or set¬
tling indicates mild kidney and or the bladder
trouble. The extra¬
ordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
