TAZEWELL'S GROWTH.

Get on one of the high places
around town and take a look.
One is surprised at the number OF
houses erected within the last ten
years. Tazewcll is no longer the
little hamlet of ten or twelve
years ago, having nearly doubled
its population within that time,
aud houses are still going up, and
people moving in. The question
is, how do all these people live!
Where and how do they get their
living? They do live, and not all
of them by any means. are million
aires. SO far as the resources OF
the town are concerned we are no
better oil than we were when the
town had population of 600 only.
There is only one more enterprise
here now than there was ten years
ago, and when the employment OF
labor is considered this one is not
factor at all. How do the people,
live! If Tazewcll was not one OF
the most remarkable counties in
the state the people in town cou'd
not remain and prosper as they
do. In different ways the county
is supporting constantly increas,
ing population in The town from
year to year. This town produces
nOthinS-it consumes all the time.
One part of the population lives
off of the other.
Now just suppose Tazewclrs
producing ability were increased.
as it might be, from year to year,
with shops and manufacturing en-
terprlscs, how long would it take
to reach a position Of prosperity
and Importance in the commercial
world? One thing is absolutely
sure, and that is that we have
about reached our maturity unless
something is done to give our peo
pie employment. But uniortu-
natcly our men who have money
seem satisfied to let things drift
on IN the same old way. Why
can't something be done! Is
there no life or progression anon o
our business men! Some day PEG.
pie from other sections will come
III and reap the harvest our own
people refuse to gather. Until
then we must remain a small in.
land town, without Importance in
the commercial world.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, u receptacle for the
urine, and rs such it is not liable to
any form of disease except By ono or
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the Kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause OF bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der was created for one purpose, and if
not doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, excep. in rare
cases. 1t Is situated back Of and very
close to the bladder, thcl fore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
Tested ia the kidneys, back, ladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed TO female woalSne s or womb
trouble OF some sort. The ciror is east
ly made and may he us easiiy avoided.
To find out correctly, set our urine
aside for twenty four hour; q sedi-
mcnt or settling indicates ,idney or
bladder trouble. The mild md extra

Millions Spent For Buttons.

The small boy who delights to oollec.
buttons may please himself with the
thought that King once shared his
weakness. That was Louis XIV, in
1855, when his craze was at its high
est, he spent no less than 5000 OOO III
this strange form of indulgence.
Among the items of which this ex-
penditure was made up are the follow
ing: August 1, 1855, two diamond
buttons, value ca ,S66 francs; seventy
five diamond buttons, value 5S6.S09
francs. On the buttons for single
vest he spent 100000. OF the 354
"boutonnieres" used 1G2 contained five
diamonds each, and the remaining 1872
were single diamonds. 1t is estimated
that during his lifetime this foolish
monarch spent no less than $5,OOO,OO0
on buttons alone.
