Firman Thoanpson’s men have got his crop just about cleaned up. The elevator has been pretty busy for a week taking care of the grain coming in. The people “ of our town were much pained to bear of the sudden death of Frank Cox, which cast a cloud of sadness over the entire neighborhood. There was a very large crowd out to pay their last respects to the departed on Sunday afternoon. Yes, sir, we surely got a splendid shower Tuesday forenoon, which put a stop to threshing for a day or so, but the farmers are not complaining. It will be a great boost to the pastures which were getting quite brown. A fire would have burned freely through the pastures they were so dry.

DIRE DISTRESS It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Rensselaer 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 lame 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., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
