Who is going to be the first woman
in Decatur who will denionstrate her
patriotism by inaugurating a move-
ment toward forming a society for the
improvement of the condition of our
town. We all live here, then why con
tinue to allow the present state of af-
fairs to exist! There are few persons
but who like clean streets and alleys,
well-kept lawns, houses, barns and
fences painted and yards filled with
shrubbery. Such things are always a
source of pleasure and peace to the
mind. We should strive to get all
there is out of life.
Hon. Tully A. Fuller died in San
Antonio Sunday after an illness with
typhoid fever. It is with deep regret
that The News chronicles the death
of this truly good man. A great host
of friends in Wise county, his former
home, will be pained to know that one
who lived so long among them a life
of rectitude and honor, and who pos
sessed an intelligence far superior to
most men, has passed away. Texas
loses an estimable citizen, Wise coun-
ty a devoted friend, and the world is
robbed of a strong mind and heart
which would have been used for its
betterment had he lived.

fhousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know It.
Bow To Find Ont.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set-
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi-
tion of the kid-
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid-
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der 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 curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won-
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists InSOc. andjl. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tellsUriZ,
more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail,

A Doctors’* lla<l Plight.
“Two vtars ago, as a result of a severe
cold, I lost n v voice,” writes Dr. M. L.
Scarbrough of Hebron, Ohio, “then be-
gan an obstinate cough. Every remedy
known to - e as a practicing physician
for 35 years, failed, and I daily grew
worse. Being urged to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, coughs,
and colds, I found quick relief and for
last ten days have felt better than for two
years.” Positively guaranteed by Man

A Valuable Medicine For Coughs
and colds in children. “1 have not the
slightest hesitancy in recommending
Chamberlain’s cough remedy to all who
are suffering from coughs or colds,”
says Cha*. M. Cramer, Esq., a well
known watch maker of Colombo, Ceylon.
“It has been some two years since the
City Dispensary first called my attention
to this valuable medicine and I have re-
peatedly used it and it has always been
beneficial. It hat cured me quickly of
all chest colds. It is especially effective
for children tnd seldom takes more than
one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I
have persuaded many to try this valuable
medicine, and they are all as well pleased
as myself over the results.” For *418 by

“It would not heal and gave me much
trouble. I used all kinds of remedies to
no purpose until 1 tried DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve. A few boxes completely

Of Virginia is a breeding ground of ma-
laria germs. So is low, wet or marshy
ground everywhere. These germs cause
weakness, chills and fever, ache* in the
bones and muscles, and may induce dan-
gerous maladies. But Electric Bitters
never fail to destroy them and cure ma-
larial troubles. They w 11 surely pre-
vent typhoid. “We tried many remedies
for malaria and stomach and liver trou-
bles,” writes John Charleston, of Byes-
ville, O., “but never found anything as
good as Electric Bitters." Man & Sim-
mons guarantee satisfaction.
