What a prominent Kentuckian says. W. L. Yancy, Paducah, writes: I had a severe case of kidney disease and three of the best physicians of southern Kentucky treated me without success I was induced to try Folely’s Kidney Cure. The first bottle gave immediate relief and three bottles cured me permanently, I gladly recommend this wonderful remedy. Holthouse, Callow & Co. 47t3 A man who claimed to be authority on grip or influenza, made the statement that any person who would keep his feet dry would not suffer from the disease. A correspondent of the same paper in which this advice appeared knocked his argument into a cocked hat by stating that he had two wooden legs and had the grip for five successive years. “I Was Weak, Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testify to the good Brown’s Cure has done me. I was weak, nervous and run down in vitality when I commenced taking it; it has done everything for me and I am now a new being.

He has a son that gives promise of being one of the big ones some time in the near future. An honest medicine for lagrippe George W. Waitt of South Gardiner, Me., says: “I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the only thing that has done any good whatever. I have used one 50 cent bottle and the chills, cold and grip have all left me. I congratulate the manufacturers of an honest medicine.” For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. f • The man who makes a success of an important venture never waits for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve. It takes a great lot of grit. But the man that succeeds has both. Any one can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main thing after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to Ire criticised. Nothing important was ever done but the greater numlrer consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.

The Laporte Herald has been sued for SIO,OOO damages by Samuel Goldberg of that city, who alleges that the newspaper has hurt him in feelings and character by publishing a story told by the plaintiff's daughter that plaintiff had murdered his step-son and buried him in the yard. The tale was fabricated by the girl, it seems, in a fit of anger, because her father had severly chastised her. A little more than a hundred years ago Spain not only owned Florida, but had a broad strip of land as far west as the Mississippi and north as the mouth of the Yazoo river, In 1798 this territory except Florida, was ceded to the United States, and the Spanish flag was lowered. Now another hundred years and the Spanish flag has disappeared from the shores of the mainland and has also been lowered on the islands which sentinel the sea ways to the Gulf of Mexico.
