PAINTSNILLE.

Our school closed Saturday with
a treat and several speeches. There
were about 200 pupils present and
several OF the citizens.
Miss Carrie Stafford gave a reci-
tation which proved her to be quite
gifted in elocution in fact 1t could
not have been excelled by profess
sional elocutionists OF the larger
cities.
Addresses were also made by
Messrs. B. II. Conley, F. p. Conley,
T. S. Kirk, Tommy Williams, Isaac
Rice, Sam Stapleton, G. B. Staple
ton and j. G. Talbert.
Saturday afternoon many Of our
young folks went to Prestonsburg
where they assisted in an enter
tainment for raising money to de-
fray the expenses of the NJ. +.
churches Of Prestonsburg and
Paintsville. We understand that
the entertainment was a success.
The two Methodist churches and
the Christian church are preparing
to have Christmas trees. A nice
time is expected.
The Paintsville Dramatic Club
are preparing to entertain US New
Years eve.

Brother Moore Is a Lawrence
county man, a brother Of the ex.
County Superintendent, Thoma:
Moore, and a former teacher Of
your county. He is an eloquent
young divine. But few, il any, Of
the ministers Of Eastern Kentucky
can entertain an audience so ad-
mirably as he. He will no doubt
rise to eminence in his profession
II he continues to study and work
so faithfully j the Masters vine,

Services will be conducted at the
NJ, f. Church Christmas day by
Rev. Young, the pastor.

Not Always Understoon

A fact often overlooked, or not
always understood, is that women
suffer as much from bladder and
kidney trouble as the men. The
womb Is situated back OF and very
close TO the bladder, and for that
reason any dis ress, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often. by mistake, attribut-
ed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be easily avoided by setting urine
aside for "a hours; sediment OF
settling is evidence that your kid
neys and bladder need doetoring
II you have pain or dull aching in
the back, pass water too frequently
or -ranty supply, with smarting oil
burilng,-these are also cOnvinc-
ing proofs OF kidney trouble. II
