Hightown lettings.

H1GHrowN, Va, May 12.-Our
country is now looking its best. 1t
is as attractive and winsome as the
charming maid of sweet sixteen.
The fields are unusually green for
the season, and the forest trees are
keeping pace. There is a promise
Of good fruit crop.
The death Of a grandchild of Mr..
Waggoner from dipbtberia is re-
ported.
Mrs. Cyrus Hull, who has been
quite sick for some months, i'm
proves very slowly. She is confn-
ed to her home, and most Of the
tire to her bed.
Mrs. J. A. Jones and her sister,
Miss Clara Fleming, accompanied
their brother, DR.. Robert Fleming,
last week to Bolar, where he has
gone to test the curative powers of
the spring. DR.. Fleming, if able.
expects to start to Scotland soon to
attend the great assembly Of the
Presbyterians. Highland may be
Justly proud Of her representative
DR. Fleming is man Of fine parts,
and will do credit to the church
which he has the honor to repre-
sent. May the prayers of hisfriends
in Highland and elsewhere follow
him across the waters for a safe
and prosperous voyage.
The Sunday School at Hightown
has been recognized, with Mr.. j.
A. Jones <as superintendent and
Mr.. G. w. Hevener assistant. They
have decided to purchase an organ,
which will be done in the next few
days. This is an excellent move
and Will be Of great benefit.
Mr.. Frank Gum. one of our best
citizens, who has been confined to
his home for months, was at church
last Sunday. His general health is
much improved, but he is almost
entirely blind, which is a great af
Fiction: but with all he is bright
and cheerful, and bears well his af-
Fiction. 1t was great pleasure
to him to attend church again after
an absence of two years. 1t was
touching to see him meet h 8
friends in the house of God.
Mr.. Cliff. Matheny accompanied
Mr.. John Whitelaw home on Sat-
urday evening last, and there were

wish to live. REPORTER.

The "fad" Of beer drinking may look
trivial. It is followed by the " fax" OF
kidney disease, as direct consequence.
And that is not trivial. That means the
grave and is solemn. The situation
would be truly alarming and threaten
the extinction Of the race were it NOT
for two things.
1. There is always hope OF reforma'
ton in the hearts of the people. When
the dangerous increase of kidney dis
ease is sufficiently sounded, there will
be reform. Tits will assure future
generations.
Q. AS to the afflicted of to-day, a
knowledge of DR.. Fenner's Kidney and
Backache Cure will restore all who are
adroit enough to resort to its use before
it is too late. Also cures female weak
ness, heart disease, rheumatism and all
blood diseases. 1t will neither deceive
nor disappoint. If In need take bottle
home with you to-day. Delays are
dangerous. Money refunded If sofia
