Old people stooped with suffering,
Middle age, courageously fighting,
Youth protesting impatiently;
Children, unable to explain;
All in misery from their kidneys.
Only a little backache first.
Comes when you catch a cold.
Or when you strain the back,
Many complications follow.
Urinary disorders,diabetes,Bright*s

Doan's Kidney Pills cure backache.
Cure every form of kidney ills.
Mrs. A. C. Grogan, of Honey
Grove, Texas, says: "For a long
time I suffered from pains in my back
and irregular passages of the kidney
secretions annoyed me. I thought
on account of my advanced age that I
could not get any relief. Doan's
Kidney Pills however, did me a world
of good and I cannot praise them too
highly."

The Sabbath Bells.
The dear old bells! How grand
is their sweet, yet solemn musio
as their brazen throats and iron
tongues ring out on the bright
spring morn the calls to worship
Him who gave the sunshine and
the birds and the balmy air.
What countless thousands have
responded to their call, and then
passed away, and other count-
less thousands came, who again
passed on for countless thousands
more. Our lives are short, the
bells will ohime for ages—then
heed their admonitions. God
bless the chimes; how many
hearts have their music melted!
How many thoughts presented of
the past, how many times direct-
ed to the future, to eternity!
Their music is an exhonoration
that lifts the soul from out its
lethargy, and shames the sins
within us. Thay remind us of
our faults—not rudely, but with
the gentle touoh of harmony and
peace, and a dreamy bliss steals
o'er us as we listen to the sounds
and remember the promise of
forgiveness and muse upon the
joy and purity of Christian life.
How many gray-haired sires
this morning list to the church
bell chorus and muse on the
sounds they'll make for their
last knell. It can't be long at
most, they know. They dream
of the past, of the pleasures and
pains, the hopes and fears, and
know that the time draws near
When they must learn the secret
of eternity. But the bells are
chiming! "Come unto me all ye
that are weary and heavy laden
and I will give you rest."
How many aged and widowed
mothers are this morning seated
in the old arm chairs, where the
sun streams in, and pensively
musing under the spell of the
bells of the time when their knell
struck upon their ears and with
agony fairly rent their souls; of
the struggle to say, as the ground
closed o'er their forms: "Thy
will, O Lord, not mine, be done."
But the bells now chime, "He
doeth all things well," and in the
bright heavens no portents come.
How many of the middle-aged
are listening to the bells with
their gentle reminder that in the
bustle and strife of life there is a
duty due, a religious love and
reverence to him who saith, "I
am the way; follow me and I will
give you light and life?"
How many a youth will listen
to the bells, which shame him for
his dissipation and faults, and
turn his thoughts to lessons that
his mother taught him at her
knee, and of the bright future
she drew for him as a Christian
man?
How many maidens fair are
listening to the bells, first dream
ing of their merry marriage peals
and then to think of the crown-
ing glory of true womanhood—
true Christianity?
How many prattling children
clap their tiny hands in glee, or
stare with wonder-opened eyes at
the steeple high as the bells ring
out for them as well, "Suffer lit-
tle children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven?"
Bless the bells! May they
chime on to eternity, and turn
our thoughts always to the Fath-
er, the protector, the hope of all,
and our footsteps toward his
shrine.—San Antonio Express.
Life 100,000 Years Ago.
Scientists have found in a cave in
Switzerland bones of men, who lived
100,000 years ago, when life was in
constant danger from wild beasts. To-
day the danger, as shown by A. W.
Brown, of Alexander, Me., is largely
from deadly disease. "If it had not
been for Dr. Kings New Discovery,
which cured me, I could not have
lived," he writes, "suffering as I did
from a severe lung trouble and stub-
born cough." To cure sore lungs,
colds, obstinate coughs, and prevent
pneumonia, its the best medicine on
earth. SOc and $1. Guaranteed by

Ear Bitten off by a Horse.
Miss Ivy Thomasom, the eigh-
teen-year-old daughter of J. L.
Thomason a farmer of the Mount
Vernon neighborhood, north of
Mavey, had an ear bitten off by a
horse Monday morning. She had
gone out to the lot to milk and
while she was passing the stall in
which the horse was fastened up it
viciously poked its head out at an
opening and seized her by the
right ear and bit most of it off.—

Welcome Words to Women
r~t
W.
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
se*4 should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need*
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right In the privacy of
your own home. His " Favorite Prescription" has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases*
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of & regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina-
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup-
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle
with your health. Write to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R,
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y.,«~take the advice received and be well.
John, John, the piper's son.
Stole a pig and away he run,
But where he had the time before
Been hotly followed through the door
And down the street with cries of
"Thief!"
And in the windup came to grief,
He was amazed this time to hear
Them say, "There goes a financier!"
At whieh the sheriff by the way
Applauded where another day
He had put after him, and men
Who had with exclamations then
Dashed after him, an angry crowd,
Made way for him, and smiled and
bowed
With all the homage rendered pelf,
Till John just had to pinch himself.
He reached the calaboose at last,
And when the jailer's daughter cast
A dozen roses in his path
And asked him for his photograph,
And all the thieves began to shout
Appeals to him to get them out,
Suspicion had become so strong
That John knew there was something
wrong.
And so there was, as they with mirth
Explained to him: The pig was worth
Two-bits a pound, and stealing it
Was not mere thieving, but a bit
Of high finance, for which there is
No penalty. The pig was his,
And not the butcher's, like the time
When pork was selling at a dime.
January gets its name from
Janus Bifrons, a famous Roman
explorer. Two-faced Janus, as
he is known, claimed to have
reached the North Pole as early
as 23 B. C.f but he could not
Copenhagen with the wisdom of
that learned city, and they put
the den mark on him.
March was at that time the be-
ginning of the year. This month
was named for the great war god
of the Romans, but Numa said
that inasmuch as liars were first
at the pole and everywhere else
they might as well be first in the
calendar, too, and January was
made the first month. Subse-
quently Caesar increased the
number of days in it from 29 to
31. He was to retire from the
imperatorship the last of the
month, and wanted to squeeze
five pay days into it.
The water wagon will resume
With Carrie Nation chauffing
And megaphones announcing room
For anybody loafing.
The happy group will tool along
With prohibition potter
And now and then hit up a song
Of loyalty to water.
The wary publican, about to be
reduced to squalor, will set a
glass and bottle out and blow up-
on his caller. The which display
and dulcet sound will set old bal-
lads ringing, and on the second
time around not many will be
singing.
At which the publican will send
A wireless Tom and Jerry
With earthenware hit end to end
And whistle on a cherry.
And when the car comes round, again
Someone, the truth confiding
To Carrie gently, will explain
That no one else is riding.
The wolf will wear a groove
around the poor man's habitation,
and even prunes will go to twice
their present valuation. The
thrifty populace will sift the ashes
for its fuel, and the plutocrat will
wear a piece of bacon for a jewel.
The wind will smite the house
with its refrigerated drizzle, and
Boreas will work around the win-
dows with a chisel. The plumber
will run in and out at 50 cents a
minute, and the moving van will
come around with seven bailiffs
in it.
It is a cheerful time of year,
there is no doubt about it, and
Winter's suoh a hit with us we
could not do without it. The
shaggy calf backed in the stack
with straw around his plumbing
would bawl his heart out if he
thought the gentle Spring were
coming.
He'd hate to see the grass grow
green and hear the birdies warble,
or greet the passing tumblebug
back-pedaling his marble. He
wouldn't give a whoop outdoors
to gambol on the olover and dance
the raz-pa-taz until exhaustion
bowls him over.
He loves the way his ribs stick
out and rattle in the blizzard,and
dotes upon the piece of ice he's
using for a gizzard. The tempest
and the paucity of sustenance de-
light him, and he dearly loves to
wonder where the Arctic next will
bite him.

The sign of the zodiac for Jan-
uary will be Halley's comet,
which is now bearing down upon
us at the rate of about 1200 miles
a minute. The coming of this
comet has been awaited with a
great deal of satisfaction by peo-
ple who believe that Providence
cares for its own. It is a, very
strange and terrifying sight, and
upon former occasions it has
frightened the wicked out of their
boots. Halleylulliah, which is
the first repentant exclamation of
a sinner, originated in this way,
and there is tremendous curiosity
to see if people like Mr. Rocke-
feller, Mr. Morgan and Hellandam
Cannon will say halleylulliah
when they see it. Halley's comet
was last visible in 1835, which
was known as the year of repent-
ance. All the trusts voluntarily
busted themselves that year, peo-
ple who had been grasping gave
great sums of money back, and
everybody was enthusiastic about
the golden rule.
The comet is a kind of star with
a nebulous beard. It is going to
be a great factor in our lives for
a while. It has no regular orbit,
but is a kind of providential
policeman-at-large. Wherever
there is an inclination upon the
part of a few inhabitants of a
planet to make the rest of the in-
habitants get off, the comet bobs
up and makes a demonstration
such as we shall see here for a
few months. This generally puts
the fear that ought to be in every
body's heart there or there-
abouts. In May, which ends the
fiscal year of the Standard Oil
Co., the United States Steel Cor-
poration and some others, the
comet will approach as N close as
5,000,000 miles.
The National Geographic So-
ciety will meet on the 20th and
decide what reparation shall be
made to Peary. It is thought
that the agreement will be to
make Cook write his confession,
compel everybody who was for
Cook to buy a copy of the book
and give Peary the proceeds.
Then February will return
Upon its merry round,
And the groundhog will emerge to tell
What's doing underground.
Eczema Readily Cured by a Simple
Home Treatment.
A simple clean remedy that can be
used in the home is what every per-
son desires who is suffering from
eczema. You can now have that
remedy and get instant relief, and be
cured permanently by ZEMO, a clean
vegetable liquid for external use.
ZEMO cures skin diseases by drawing
the germs and their poisons,that cause
the disease, to the surface of the skin
and destroying them, leaving the skin
clean and healthy. The Honey Grove
Pharmacy, druggists, will give you a
booklet and a sample bottle of ZEMO
and will explain to you how a great
many cases of eczema and other forms
of skin diseases have been cured by
this simple home treatment.
Troubles oi Town and Country.
One difference between living
in town and living in the country
is that what keeps one awake
along about 11 at night in the
country is the neighbor's worth-
less dog, and what keeps him
awake in town is the neighbor's
girl singing popular songs about
maids and moons and a few other
things to a worthless young man.
Another difference between town
and country is that what wakes
you up at a perfectly unchristian
hour in the morning in the coun-
try is the crowing of a fool roos-
ter, and in town it's the milk-
man.—Fort Worth Record.
Sees Mother Grow Young.
"It would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother since
she began to use Electric Bitters,"
writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick, of Dan-
forth, Me. "Although past 70 she
seems really to be growing young
again. She suffered untold misery
from dyspepsia for 20 yeais. At last
she could neither eat, drink nor sleep.
Doctors gave her up and all remedies
failed till Electric Bitters worked such
wonders for her health." They in-
vigorate all vital organs, cure liver and
kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart
strength and appetite. Only 50c at

ENUMERATORS' ttlST EAStf.
Census Director Durand Sets February 5th
As the Date.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 27,
1909.—Any person of good judg-
ment, who has received an ordi-
nary common school education,
can readily and easily pass the
test to be given applicants for
Census enumerators' places on
Saturday, Feb. 5th, the day final-
ly set by U. S. Census Director
Durand, according to an an-
nouncement from the Census
Bureau today. This will be a
comforting assurance to the sev-
eral hundred thousand who are
believed to be contemplating ap-
plication for the places.
It was emphatically stated at
the bureau that the test will be
an eminently reasonable and
practical one, similar to that ap-
plied to applicants at the Twelfth
Census. It will consist of filling
out a simple schedule of popula-
tion from a description, in nar-
rative form, of typical families;
and, in the case of enumerators
whose work will be in the rural
districts, they will be called upon
to fill out an additional sample
schedule of agriculture, from in-
formation furnished by the Cen-
sus Bureau.
All persons, whether women or
men, who may desire to become
Census enumerators must be
citizens of the United States;
residents of the supervisor's dis-
trict for which they wish to be
appointed; must be not less than
18 nor more than 70 years of age;
must be physically able to do the
work; must be trustworthy, hon-
est and of good habits; must
have at least an ordinary educa-
tion and must be able to write
plainly and with reasonably rap-
idity.
Those who can comply with
these requirements are in-
vited to put in their applications,
as there will be at least 68,000
enumerators' places to be filled
by the middle of March in prep-
aration for the enumeration be-
ginning April 15th.
Application forms, with full in-
structions for filling-in, and com-
plete information concerning the
test and the method of appoint-
ment, can be secured by writing
to the supervisor of census of
the supervisor's district in which
the applicant lives. All applica-
tions, properly filled-in must be
filed with the supervisors not
later than January 25th as any
received after that date cannot
be considered.
Judge Yates, of Greenville, has
withdrawn from the race for As-
sociate Justice of the Court of
Appeals, and Judge Turner, of
Texarkana, has announced his
candidacy for said position.
The Meanest Man in Town

make him feel so miserable, he can't
help being disagreeable. Are you in
danger of gettin g into that condition?

In Bad Fix
"I had a mishap at the age of 41, which left me In bad
fix," writes Mrs. Georgia Usher, of Conyers, Ga.
"I was unconscious for three days, and after that I
would have fainting spells, dizziness, nervousness, sick
headache, heart palpitation and many strange feelings.
"I suffered greatly with ailments due to the change of
life and had 3 doctors, but they did no good, so I concluded
to try Cardui.
'Since taking Cardui, I am so much better and can do
all my housework."
