He Met His Match.

81 see," said the drummer who
was entertaining his admirers at
a country store in Washington
country the other day, ''that
they have discovered an electri-
cal process by which milk can be
converted into champagne"
"Well I'll be durned,'' COM
mented the fellow who was
seated on the woodbox with his
knees on a level with his eyes.
'True as you live. I tell you,
gentlemen, there is no limit to
the possibilities attai n a b l e

You talk about the miracle of
converting water into wine, but

wore two suspenders and a turn
down collar.
"No sir. Most astounding
scientific discovery of the age
al cackalate he's in airnest, :"
said the old fellow with stopped
shoulders who had been a rolling
stone and consequently gathered
less moss than some of the 9TH
ers. "This here diskivery 'splains

The drummer promptly set up
the SC cigars then wandered off
by himself.

]. B. KING, of Sherman, Texas,
who has made botany and grass
culture special study says of
the Johnson grass problem: 81
am quite sure that 1 can destroy
Johnson grass in three years.
Every one who knows that this
grass will take growth from the
root as well as from the seed, but
the root is only capable of repro
ducing three times.By cutting the
grass before the seed natures, in
three years the desired extermi-
nation can be realized. l would
advise a man with Johnson grass
to plant it in cotton and to hoe it
out carefully. In three years he
will have got rid of the pest"

THE west Texas Times SAWS.

THE West Texas Times says
ga few months ago it looked like
Attorney General Crane had a
walkover for the governorship.
Time, however, has caused some
changes on the political chess
board and Joe Sayers is develop
ing more strength than was an
ticipated- His record in congress
has made him very strong with
the people in this section of the
state, and he is making friends
in all directions. Here in Nc
Lehman county he has many
supporters, some of our most
prominent democrats strongly
advocating his nomination. At
the present time it looks like the
tight will be between the two
gentlemen named and it would be
difficult just now to name the
winner"

The Order Completely Meets the Public
Wants-Linklets.
No order in the country more
completely meets the public want
than the Odd Fellowship. Its
failure would be public
calamity, and the people gen.

prospers. Nothing but unwise
Legislation or laxity in discipline

In 1923 the initiatory ode was

Daniel De Foe, the author of
Robinson Crusoe,'' writing
early in TOO, mentions the

In every lodge there are three

DEMOCRATS in Washington are
disposed to give Mr.. Bryan a
large share of the credit for the
splendid showing made by the
party in Ohio, and the remark
has been made many times, that
if the entire campaign in that
state had been made along the
same aggressive line as the
speeches made in the closing
days by Mr.. Bryan, the demo-
Gratis would have elected their
entire state ticket as well as have
assured the defeat of Boss

The Taylor Tribune pleads for
relief to the great ax-burdened
masses. 1t pleads for justice for
the great toiling and producing
masses. A farmer sells his cot
ton at$25 per bale, and under the
Dingley tariff bill he pays S125
for it back in manufactured
goods. How long can he live
and prosper under such a sys-
tenn? The national expenditures
of the federal government are
$3.50, 100000 per annum, or
500, 100000 more than they
were three years ago. Let as
see. 1t would take 1000, 0OO
bales of cotton to pay the actual
expenses of the government. In
1890, no bales of cotton would
pay the presidents salary of
$50, 900 per year. But now it
will take 1900 bales of cotton to
pay it. No wonder in the
Thanksgiving proclamation Pres
ident Mckinley intimated that
prosperity was sweeping over
the nation.

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1897-09-10
An American Discovery,


The present year will always be a nota-
BILE one in the history of the 18th century
for the many wonderful discoveries it re-
cords. Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable, per-
hapS, have been made in the practice of
medicine. Now comes the information
that John Morrow an eminent chemist of
Springfield, o., has discovered remedy
that promises to be almost infallible in
curing all diseases of the kidneys. So
many of the most important advances of
medical science are made by foreign sci
entiStS that such report is not only of
great import but highly gratifying as we'll
Morrow,S discovery, while the true in
gradients have not yet been published is in
the form of yellow tablet and is known
to the medical world as MOrrOwS kidne-
oids. This remarkable remedy has been
tried in some of the most severe cases of
chronic and acute diseases of the kidneys,
and in each case has quickly produced the
most beneficial results.
The fact that death from Bright'S dis
ease shows daily increase is an unpleas-
ant indication that disorder of the kidneys.
is fast becoming an affection of the human
race and any remedy that promises sure
relief is indeed blessing to mankind.
The symptoms of deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require "A physicians di-
agnOsis pain in the side and back, aching
bones, a continual feeling OF languOr, are
followed DIV impaired VISION, loss OF appe-
tite. swelling of the hands and feet, and
so on until Bright's disease gets hold.
1t is so insidious in its attack that the
busy man or woman often associates the
symptoms with some tritling ailment. I'M
til the development of the disease causes
a complete collapse. With Morrow's Kid
neOids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of
the disease and effect a permanent cure
without resource to a physician or the
