YETTA sBGAL.

WE have received "Yetta egal," q
handsomely bound volume, by HORACE
J. RoLLIE.
It deals with racial conditions and is
a powerful plea in favor of the admix-
ture of the races.
The love of the hero of the work for
the fair Jewess is pathetic. He finds
that he has a trace of Negro blood IN
his veins. The news is broken to the
LADY of choice by series of reasoning
and the end Of it all is marriage.
The book is intensely interesting
and will richly repay perusal. Ad'

Mr.. EDITOR
Our town is yet alive and in pros
porous condition.
Sunday was a pretty day with the ex-
ception OF little rain in the after
noon. The First Baptist Church was
crowded all day. Rev. John W. Hen
derson preached at IL o'clock. subj,

world" Text, Amos 4th chapter part
of the 18th verse, Prepare to meet
thy God" As he was on the verge OF
leaving us he made this special ser
mon to the people of Pocahontas and
the First Baptist Church.
He told Us of our besetting sins and
of the rewards which the Master will
give each one of US who Will trust Him
and are prepared to meet Him at al
times. We should be prepared because
we know not when He shall call US
from labor to reward. Many good
things did he tell Us of the Father and
His blessings.
At 8 O'Clock, the Rev. preached again
He was no doubt assisted by the Holy
Spirit. Subject: words of Counsel.

He entreated them not to get

said he would recommend pastor.

THE EAGLB's CRITICISM.

New York PILOT in our position on the
enlisting question. 1t says:

suits that are given us and the abuses
that are heaped upon US just as much
az YOU gentlemen do. 1t hurts 1t

public wrongs by committing another
public wrongs"
We fail to see where our attitude
can be called public wrong. There
is nothing in the Contribution Of the
United States which requires US to en-
gage in war of conquest.

volunteer? Why not muster us in re-

THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow. and gradual, and, as
rule, unaccompanied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
sy stem of all poisonous material, and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains,
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed, and the or
gans become clogged by the waste
matters which are thus retained in the
system. That is why you are so weak

1t is a sad fact which many realize,
that the high fees charged by most
physicians are a very serious burden
upon patients, especially when the
cost of having their prescriptions filled
is added. This burden Mr.. Kerr does
away with entirely by charging no fee
whatever. The oniv charge made und-
er any circumstances is the price OF
the medicines prepared in his own ex
