MOVING A CEMETERY.
Some Talk of Moving the Bodies From
the Old Cemetery in Mexico.

From time to time the question of
moving the bodies from the old GEM
etery in Mexico is discussed and along
this line the following telegram will
be of interest:
FLUSHING, L. l., December IA
strange migration was begun here
to-day. The Union Cemetery of
Brooklyn was crowded out by the
growth of that city, 80 it was con-
cluded to move the whole cemetery
bodily to this village. To-day the
first of the $4,000 bodies to be re-
moved, arrived. Not even in history
has there been such an incident. All
the monuments are also to be moved
and the graves will be arranged the
same as before.
The greatest care is being exercised
by the managers to avoid the possi-
bility of mixing the collins. Each
body, as it is exhumed, is placed in a
new box and marked with a tag.

Died, Dec. Is, Mrs. Mary E. Thomp-
son, mother of W. M. Thompson, at

Brown, after an illness of only q few
hours aged, about so years. Deceased
leaves three grief stricken children
Dudley, of Marshall, Willard NJ. and
Mrs. Winnie Brown, of Thompson,
besides six brothers. She has been q
devout member of the old Baptist
church since 1867 and was truly q
Christian woman, respected for her
many deeds of kindness, and as q neigh
Dor. The many willing hands that
attended her funeral certainly prove
that she was beloved by all. To know
her was but to love her. Funeral SCI
vices were held at the home of the
deceased on Sunday, conducted by
Rev. VIM. Jesse, after which the re-

"How slender is life's tender cord,
How soon tits broken here,
Each moment brings q parting word,
And many a falling tear.
And though these years to mortal
given,
Are filed with grief and pain,
There is hope, the hope of heaven,
Where loved ones meet again.
In this dark world of sin and pain,
We only meet to part again;
But when we reach the heavenly shore,
We there shall meet to part no more.
The hope that we shall zee the day,
Should chase our present grief
away"

Food, undigested, is poison. Di-
gested, it is life and strength. Millions
of us suffer from Indigestion, but we
often don't know it. We think it is
something else. Even doctors often
mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are over
worked, who need strength, who seem
in want of proper food, should take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is
astonishing what food aoII do, when
properly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you,
refresh you, sustain you, restore
your color, make muscle, brain fibre,
courage endurance, energy, increase
your power to throw off disease and
keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite,
but indigestion can be cured and pre-
vented with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

YOUNGS CREEKI ITEMS.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
YoUNGs CREEK, Mo-, Dec. 21.-The
last meeting of the Owl Club took
place in the cosy parlor at the widow
Blum's. There was an unusually large
attendance, and a merry crowd they
were. The Owls hooted very enter
tainingly. The programme con-
sisted of dialogues, Rotations, music,
both vocal and instrumental, social
chatting, etc. All enjoyed it greatly,
retiring at a late hour feeling very
grateful to the hostess and her family
for the genial reception given us. We
understand that the next meeting of
the club will occur at Mr.. Halls, but
the date is not fixed.
The much talked of Marshall Rich
ardson wedding did not m~aterialize.
1t was to have taken place at the
residence of the girls parents last
Wednesday, but it proved a grievous
disappointment to the groom, he hav-
ing made every necessary arrange
ment at his home for a royal recep-
ton of his bride, preparing a supper
and bidding his friends come in and
~reio:ce with him. But, 10 and behold,
at the last hour the girls father sent
for him, informed him that he was not
the man, gave him his ring and point
ed to the door. MI. Marshall is q nice
young man and, perhaps, after a little
reflection will consider himself for
tunate in not having formed an alli-
ance where such fickleness and disre-
spect for the feelings of others exist.
We take this opportunity of announc-
ing that Bro. Strong, of Monroe coun-
ty, begins preaching at Midway the
first Sunday in January, Bro. Hugely
retiring from the work.
It's quite amusing, isn't 1t? Whats

Star of the East, that long ago
Brought wise men on their way,
Where angels singing to and fro,
The Child of Bethlehem lay
Above that Syrian hill afar
Thou shinest out tonight, o Star!
Star Of the East, the night were drsar
But for the tender grace .
That with thy glory comes to cheer
Earth's loneliest, darkest place;
For by that charity we see
Where there is hope for all and me.
Star of the East! show us the way,
In wisdom undefiled,
To seek that manger out and lay
Our gifts before the child
To bring our hearts and offer them
Unto wi King in Bethlehem!

HOW To FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let 1t stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates an unhealthy condition Of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen II
is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort In the knowledge,
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bIAd-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing IL,
or bad effects following the use OF
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect ofSwamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for It's wonderful cures of the
most distressing Uses. II you need .
medicine you should have the best.
