Farmers Union Club Picnic.

According to previous arrangement,
a county union farmers club picnic was
held at the picnic grounds at South
Haven, August 1S.
After listening to remarks from the
presiding officer, A. G.. Glidden, u. L.
Barnes, Mr. Mills and others, the fol.
lowing program was arranged for
another year: Place of meeting, South
Haven; date, Thursday nearest July
25, 1898 A resolution was adopted eX-
tending an invitation to Mrs. j. j
Woodman to deliver an address; also
that each of the clubs of the county be
sent a copy of this report, and that each
club furnish either paper, a recita'
tion OF music; also that copy be sent
TO one or more papers of the county for
publication. Although our number
was not what we had hoped, owing to
previous conflicting dates, all agreed
that it was the most enjoyable occasion
of the season and, after visiting some
of the many places of interest, we re-
turned home on the 5:35 train, well
pleased that an annual picnic was al
established fact

ONEOF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
aud as such it is not liable To any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis
eases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable TO weak.
ness or disease, except in rare cases. Ii
is situated back of and very close TO the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
Inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild
and the extraordinary effects of DR.

ney and bladder remedy, is soon real.

Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired so easily /;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
Paipitation Of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

his obligation to the people and TO the
law, but he was ever mindful of the
still higher obligation to the principles
of justice and humanity. To be truth
full, to be Just, to be humane-these
were the bright jewels in his crown of
character. 1t is fact most interesting
and impressive now to recall, after all
our great troubles and conflict over the
slavery question, that he left his solemn
testimony against that institution in
words which ought to have been needed
by his countrymen. AS early as 1856,
just after the revolution, he wrote:
There is no man living who wishes
more sincerely than l do to see plan
adopted for the abolition of slavery
But there is but one proper and eff
fectual mode by which it can be ac-
complished and that is by legislative
authority, and this, so far as my suf-
frage will go, will never be wanting"
And these noble words he put into
practical effect by the emancipation of
his own slaves by will, humanely pro-
viding for the support of the aged and
infrm among them, and giving the
most explicit and peremptory direc-
tions that those too young to support
themselves should "be taught to read
and write and brought up to some use
full occupation''-and this to be charge
upon his estate.-Hon. Charles S. May,
in Detroit Free Press.
