In the blood is apt to show itself in the
Spring, and nature should by all means be
assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Spe

vegetable, nOn-poisonous remedy, which
helps nature to force all the poison or taint
out through the pores of the skin.

our trip we visited our old and highly
esteemed friend, Rev. A. P. George,
pastor of the NJ E. church at Lyons,
Kansas We were glad to clasp the
hand of Brother George, and be intro
duced to his good wife. Mrs. George
impresses one as having the qualities
necessary to successful pastor wife,
and We can say from experience that
she can make good cup of tea. They
are nicely fixed, have a large church
and good congregation, which is so
rapidly increasing that new church
building, or an addition to the old one,
which has in seating capacity of about
four hundred, is strongly talked of.
Bro. George seems TO enjoy the conf
dence of all the citizens, whether they
are church folks or not. We are not
surprised at this, however. as he has a
way Of making everybody like him. We
wish him abundant success. Lyons is
only about eight years old, but is
very pleasant, thriving little city; the
county seat of Rice county, and has
two good newspapers.
