Cause, it was a girl and weighed 9| pounds. Henry Erwin and his. two daughters, Maggie and Ella, who have been very sick with typhoid fever, have so far re­ covered as to be able to sit up. We learn that a son of N. S Colby, aged about six years, had the misfortune to fall on Saturday last, striking upon a chair, breaking his nose, the bone being broken in two places. Monday morning a stranger stopped at the house of W. Thomas of Thomas- ville and called for board. They liked the appearance of him and have con. eluded to keep him. Weight, frpounds.

Lamphere of Wauconda, who is moving in this week, Mr. Griswold started on Monday morn­ ing for his new home near Jackson, Tennessee. ^ • The maddest man, to date, lives in the north part of the town.- He waa pulling on bis boot the other morning and struck what be supposed was a nasty, slimy snake coifed up on the sote. He jumped two yards and kicked it thru a pi mirror and a vase valued at $16, and when his wife's switch came floating innocently out of the leather it would have demoralized a horse jockey to hear him talk. Verily, the rightdous men stand upon slippery places. There was considerable excitement in and around Esquire Perry's office on Saturday last, the occasion being a law suit, wherein Mrs. Brahan was plaintiff and Wm. McDonald defendant.

A jury was called, who, after a careful hear­ ing, brought in a verdict for plaintiff of $100 Und eoete. Soldier Balks Death Plot. It seemed to J. A. Stone, a civil war veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that a plot ex isted between a desperate lung trouble and the grave to cause his death. "I contracted a stubborn cold," he writes, "that developed a cough that stuck to me, in spite of all remedies, for years. My weight ran down to 180 pounds. Then I began to use Dr. King's New Discovery, which restored my health completely. I now weigh 178 pounds."

Mama mWHtlMi l i - % KM»y NiJhlfrMfc Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition. beauty, ..-- .• JK vigor and eheerful- #^.'1 daw ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so'prevalent that it is not uncom­ mon for a child to be born afflicted with "weak Jcidneya. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the jmssage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet­ ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of 5 warnp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of tlie thousands of testi- monial letters received from sufferers who found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed. In writing Dr. Kilmer 6 Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Dt. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address,- Binghamton, N.
