•‘A FISH ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.'’

Editor Sentinel: A short time since you notified the Democracy of Jasper county that the Democratic State Committee desired thorough organization of every county in the state by the middle of March. This notice alone should have prompted the county chairman to immediate ac ion. But there are other and pressing reasons why immediate steps sho'd betaken for organization of the Democracy in this county. In tlm first place, 1 am strongly under tLe impression that for the past two years we have been operating without a committee, and it is time we have one—thoroughly Democratic at that. In the second place the republicans ar thoro’« ly organized in this county, and the Democracy should be prepared to meet them at the very threshhold of the contest. Further, the republican county convention has been called for ne*t mnth. The Democratic ticket should be in the field soon after and thus avoid the disadvatage of going into the contest with nums bers of votes pledged t j their opponents that otherwise they wo’d receive. If an immediate movement to this end is not made, 1 suggest that a call, signed by a number well-known Democrats, be issued.

"Make it out for what I owe,” replied the man, a little surprised. "The bill is 90,” continued the clerk, with an ingratiating smile, “but I’d Just as soon make It out for $9 or $lO. fifs all the same to us.” "Perhaps it is,” the puzzled guest exclaimed, “but It isn't to me. Why should I pay 99 or 910 when my bill Ip l er “Aren’t you a drummer?" the clerk suddenly demanded. “Certainly not” There was a pause and then the guest suddenly dc Bunded; "What's all this business about fake bins, anyway?” “We always make out bills *to suit* Cor drummers,” exclaimed the clerk, “■o’s they can come out even on their expense accounts. A traveling man Who pays us 96 can get a receipt for 010 if he likes, and when he settfarwlth Us employers he shows them the receipted bill and pockets the difference, I thought you were a drummer.” "No, I’m not,” replied the guest "hot I know a good many drummers. In But, I employ about a hundred, sad I notfm that when they come to this town they always stop at this hotel. I observe also that It’s a 92 joint and that Tm always charged $3.50. Never triad, though, I’ll lay for the next man srho stops here.” And as he went out the clerk looted aa If he thought he had put his foot Hght in It and the foot was held then. -New York Herald.

RAILROAD MEETING

A meeting vas Held in Jus. H. Chapman’s office last Saturday afternoon to further consider tho matter of securing the electric railroad. The meeting \* as called to Order by Chairman Leopold. It was reported that $l4O had already been ra sed for the survey, but that at least $225 would be necessary. A letter from Mr Machette was read, in which In asked that the right of way be secured as well as money for the s irvey, and that some of the officers of the roa. would ment our citizens any time tlie/s e fit to call a meetiug. Ho also said that the wouid be budt at an early day if their terms were complied with. The route through Barkley township seems to meet with the most favor by the people of the county and will doubtless be tho one selected. Ad. Park ; son, through whose farm this route would run, was present, and Baid that as his farm would be out directly in two, he would not like to say just tnen wnether ne would be willing to donate the right ot way or not, l>ut thought that if a switch was laid near him he might bo willing to do so. Grenville Moody was ready to douate the right of way, as were itls|> the Murray boys. J. W. Burgett spoke for himself and B J. Gifford and sanl that they wo’d donate the mile necessary through their laud Mr Moody suggested that corns mittees of five members each be appointed to secure right of way and solicit subscriptions to complete the amount needed for survey, one committee to work north from Rensselaer, another south and one on the Hanging Grove route.

Granville Moody, J. W. Burgett, J. J<. Warren, Charlie Murray and Ad. Parkison were selected as north committee. South committee—Wm. Washbum, William M. Hoover. Robert Michaels, Sr., James Pierce and Fred Waymire. J. N. Cfowden, Ed. Randle, Aus* tin Moore, Geo. B. Parkison and Jas. T. Randle, comprise the com* mittee for tho Hanging Grove route. Tho oommitteos were instructed to go to work at once, and report at a meeting t be held at the same place next Saturday afternoon. The chairmaii and secretary were instructed to send invitations to the citizens oi neighboring ooun j ties to meet with us here in a general meeting to bo held February 23d, and to come with money for survey and a guarantee of right of way.

It's symptoms are common to other diseases, viz., Severe Headache, Kackache, Dizziness, Sleeplessness, Rlurrod Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. Onee let it get a firm hold on the system and it is difficult to dislodge. It is caused by inability of the kidneys to filter tha Urea from the blond.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a Dottle or common glass with urine and let it, »cand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of /he kidneys. Whtn urine stains hnen it is positive evidenoe of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's .Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder’and every part of the urinery passages. It cor* rects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effpet following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpbasant necessity of being com*, pel ed to get up many times during the mght to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon rtalized. It stands the higbest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you ueed r medicine you should have the best.
