A NEW YEAR LETTER. Mr. <*iiillcbeaii Sends the .Jour¬ nal an Interesting One. Correspondence to the Home Jouhnai.. Louisville, Ky., Dec., 31, 1897. —1 have been thinking for several weeks of sending the Journal a brief article, but, one thing and an other prevented. 1 noticed some time since that the editor warned his readers I intended to “keep an render eye on Jeapj” and to an account of rny stewarship immediately do there¬ I had after, but neglected to so. just returned from an extended tour 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 ns cheerful and happy as ever. She 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 Ue spent a most even ing witii some fitli avenue friends during Christmas, where a sump tons table was set.

Several of the ladies (Jeanette among them), attend lectures regularly. covered Our city Inis been partially with snow for more than a week. 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 The you we are ill was eager to get it. i 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 cause you reporters are negligent. 1 would write oftener, but Kentucky news would hardly be appreciated as highly us the dots from old Lincoln. 1 would cheerfully resign to anyone 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.

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.
