But oil blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for 1t is an obstinate
disease, one which requires n real
blood remedy--something more than
mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate cnse.

President, Franklin Weems, Secretary;
Messrs. Geo W. Brooke, Upton Brooke,
F. w. Hill, VIM. G. Brooke, f. f. Berry
and Eugene Roberts.
The host read an interesting and nstruc-
tive paper upon the management OF the
farm in which he claimed that when it is
considered how many comforts farmers
enjoy and for which the farm gets no
credit, because not measured i'll dollars
and cents, farming is not an Improbable
business. and money invested in land,
when the owner has home upon his farm
yields as good returns as can be had from
other occupations.
The visitors were greatly pleased with
the bea atiful estate and the promising
crops. A delightful dinner was served.
The next meeting of the club will be at
the home OF Mr. E. E. Berry.
