a correct statement we suppose. We

The accumulated Impurities in the

with some people. The kidneys,

attacks, failure of appetite, coated
tongue, lame back, indigestion and
that tired feeling are some results.
From the same cause may also come
scrofula, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu-

All these troubles and more may prop

A Grand Success.

The eight annual Kreighbaum reunion
was held at the beautiful country home
of George Kreighbaum, at Greentown,
Stark county, Ohio, Thursday, August
29th. The Kreighbaum reunion was one
of the largest family reunions in the
state, and like good old wine, it grows
with age. About six hundred were pres.
ent. The North Canton brass band and
two mandolin bands furnished most ex-
cellent music for the occasion, and so
did Mrs, Rev, o. B. Jones, whose skill
as an organist and pianist is unequalled
by few, if any in the state, After the
usual routine of business, the regular
program followed: Inaugural address
by the President, John Kreighbaum, of
Lake p o. Mr.. Kreighbaum is an en-.
tertaining speaker and gave the large
audience many valuable thoughts-he
has been president of the Kreighbaum
Reunion for the past two years and has
pleased the members for the reunion in
every repect Burdette Moor, aged 8
years, (grandson of George Kreighbaum)
delivered an address OF welcome, in
which he said among other things: "On
behalf of the Kreighbaum Reunion, l
bid you welcome here today. We cam
not visit each other too often. We be-
long to family with whom
hospitality can never degenerate, We
are members of a great band, to which
we hope, some day, all people will be.
long We extend hearty welcome to
you one and ALL" Mr.. George A. Wise,
of Springfield townhip, Summit comfy,
was called upon next and delivered an
address on Reunions and the objects"
He said, that this is an age of reunion
inns and at once entered into his subject
with heart and soul, making it in all
the more forcible and interesting; be was
well posted on his subject, having at"
tended all the family reunions in Stark
county since the close of the civil war
and hence his instructive words seemed
to flow from his lips like stream of
water from living fountain. Mr., Geo.
A. Wise has had considerable experience
as public speaker and lecturer before
the Farmers Alliance, during the past
twenty years. The next was song by
Laura Werstler, an eight years old girl,
whose voice charmed every one in the
audience. A pleasing mandolin duet
was given by Elsie and Anna Lower.
A song entitled "Little Birds" by Belle
and Beatrice Powell was greatly en-
joyed by the audiene. Recitation by
Edna Kreighbaum entitled, "What
Susie Saw at the Circus" There were
many valuable thoughts dropped by
Miss Edna, which reminded the audi
ence of what is generally seen at a cir
Gus. An entertaining defamation by
Stella Kreighbaum entitled "What the
