A 50 cent bottle of Foley’s Kidney Cure will prevent serious'results from this usually fatal disease. Holthouse A Callow’s, ni When you see a small boy diligently wielding a hoe in the neighborhood or the garden, it is a surer sign of a fishing trip than an improved truck patch. Many horses have their dispositon ruined by the unkind treatment of the driver. Always treat him kindly, and he will soon learn to obey your ’ word of command. Found. At Holthouse & Callow’s drug store, a marvelous cure for all kidney complaints, nervous exhaustion and female weakness. It is Foley’s Kidney Cure. ni D’French Quinn reports the arrival of a fine twelve pound boy at his home last Friday morning. Mother and babe doing well and French is supremely happy.

It is reported that Mexico wants I Cuba and that she will be quite willj ing to take her off our hands after the Spaniards have been driver, out. Is this cheek, or only form of Mexican j modesty ? The officers of the Mite Society of tht> Methodist church held their first meeting of the present administration last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. John Niblick. The only business transacted was the outlining of the next year’s business. • If people would use the diligence lin spreading good things they hear I and know about people that they do in heralding every hint or rumor of bad, the world would be better off and the tattler and fault-finder would have a sure chance for heaven. Several universities in Spain have closed to prevent st udents from rioting. The American temperament does not lead our students to riot, but to enlist to light for their country. This is a pretty good illustration of the difference between America and Spanish people. The whistle of a locomotive can be heard 3,300 yards, the noise of a train 3,800 yard, the report of a musket and the bark of a dog 1,800 the roll of a drum 1,600 yards, a cricket chirp 800 yards, a dinner bell two miles and a call to get up in the morning 3 feet 7 inches. Unfortunate people are they who while suffering from kidney diseases are prejudiced against all advertised remedies. They should know that Foley’s Kidney Cure is not a quack remedy, but an honest guaranteed medicine for kidney and bladder troubles. Holthouse & Callows m An exchange very correctly says: No man. old or young: black or white, can cut a $l5O splurge on a S4O a month salary, nor properly support a champagne appetite on a larger beer income and keep his hands out of other people’s pockets. It has been tried several hundred times, and has proved a failure every time. I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhcea ever since the war and have used all kinds of medicines for it. At last I found one remedy that has been a success as a cure, and that is Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. P. E. Grisham, Gaars Mills, La.

This is due to the fact that farmers are giving more attention to sheep that produces mutton rather than todepcnd on wool. Another profit from sheep which is increasing every year is the production of choice early lambs.

I did not think that any medicine would help him. but after giving him a few doses of that remedy I noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him entirely. It is the best cough medicine I ever had in the house. J. L. Moore, South Burgettstown, Pa.

The boys kept firing questions at the chaplain asking when the regiment would be taken out of Indiana. He got tired trying to answer this question every five minutes during the day and he concluded to hang out a sign which would serve the purpose. He accordingly secured a large sheet of paper and wrote on it these words: “The chaplain does not know when this regiment will move." He hung this in front of his quarters and then the good man felt relieved. One of the boys concluded to make the matter more emphatic and he added another line which read: "Neither does he care a damn.', As soon as the preacher discovered the complete bulletin he tore it down and threatened to resign. Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville. York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. “I had a severe attack lately, he says, ’ and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles. Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequaled. For sale by Holhouse & Callow, druggists. m Yellow Jaundice Cvred. Suffering humanity should be supplied with every means possible for its relief. It is to ceritfv that I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow Jaundice for over six months, and was treated by some of the physicans in our city and ail to no avail. Dr. Bell, our druggist, recommended Electric Bitters: and after taking two bottles, I was entirely cured. Now I take great pleasure in recommending them to any suffering person from this terrible malady. I am gratefully yours, M. A. Hogarty, Lexington. Ky.” Sold by Page Blackburn druggist.
