WEAK kidneys

kidneys are always di5eas d. IN fact, bnghts
Disease is to the Kidneys what consumption
is to the lungs. The kidneys become ul-
cerated and waste away. Unable to prop
erly perform their function, the kidneys
hecome inactive and every function of the
body suffers. Great weakness and emaci-
alton follows. A state of impoverishment
nf the blood sets in and the end is complete
exhaustion. To check this decay OF the
kidneys, to infuse renewed strength, and
TO aid the recuperative tendencies OF Nat
are no remedy acts SO kindly and har-

The Ocula Demand is the name
of new paper to be started in Coltax,
Grant Parish. In referring to the
new enterprise the Colfax Chronicle
has this to say:
1t is to he run under the auspices
of the union, or rather that faction OF
the union that opposes the Lafayette
auti-lnttery combine, and while deny
ing the right of tue State union to
bind them politically, seeks to bind
Others to the third party and Ocala
platforms. Prof. l.. A. Traylor is
said to he the prospective editor Of
the "Dcmand," and will possibly be
assisted by Messrs Il, S. Cameron and
M. f. Machen for awhile. Its name
indicates its plane of action, and
Brother Traylor, we judge, is prepared
to twist himself into any shape the
..reforner" demand, without any re-
gard to reason, and, in direct opposi-
ton to the we'll settled yrinciple that
editors should direct public sentiment,
and not be led and controlled by it.
The world is rarge and roomy, and. we
take ii, all can find ample space for
any enterprise desired, therefore we
welcome the "Demandw and accord it
fair field and no favor, but shall
seek to convert it from the error OF its
way, by the simple comparison af old
time Democratic principles with its
absurdities.

Glover as a Weed Exterminato,.

Among its other excellent qualities as
an agricultural plant it is common ex-
perlence among farmers that clover is
one of the best exterminators of weeds.
Air and sunshine are as necessary for the
life of weeds as they are for cultivated
plants, and when growing together, if
one Is thrifty enough to outgrow and

It eventually takes possession of the
ground. So where crSter is thickly sown

much for nearly all varieties of weeds,
and when the ground is plowed for diff

from the clover, but will be compare
