The partnership of Hufty and Goff l*has just been dissolved, and" Harry Hufty will move to Rensselaer in the very near future where Mr. Hufty has accepted a position with the new Co-Operative Meat Market, as manager of the same. Ever since the opening of the co-opera-tive concern leaders of the new institution have been after him, and at last have made the offer so inviting that he felt he could not resist. Harry is without doubt an excellent meat cutter, and in all the time he has operated the market here it has not been our lot to hear a single complaint from his customers. His shop has ever been the example of cleanliness and neatness, and meats have always been .cut to the best of advantage. Mr. Goff will continue the business and we feel sure that he through the long association with Mr. Hufty will be able to give Mt. Ayr and vicinity the same thorough service of butcher business it has been wont to have. The community surely loses a fine family in the removal of the Huftys, but their friends hope their prosperity and happiness will be doubled in their new location.

DIRE DISTRESS It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Itensselaer Readers. Don’t neglect an aching back. Backache is often the kidneys' cry, for help. Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid means that urinary troubles may follow, Or danger of worse kidney troube. Here’s Rensseaer testimony. Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson avenue, says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family avenue, says: “We have used for a long time and they have kept us in good health. I used to suffer from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back got stiff and laime and ached so steadily it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doans Kidney Pills have driven away those symptoms of kidney trouble and have made me well and strong.’’ {Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’S Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., M-fgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
