THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION.

The pale, sallOw, sunken-cheeked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with Kidney Com
plexion."
Their kidneys are turning to a par
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nerv-
Gus exhaustion and sometimes the
heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid
nys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is almost too late,
because the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do not think
they need medicine or a doctor I'M
til they find themselves sick in bed
DR.. Kilmer's SwampROOt will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,

better health.

drug store, at fifty cents and one dol

knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and
even life to Swamp Root and thou
sands more who today think them
selves beyond help, can be made well
by the use of this great remedy.
Swamp Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has
proved so successful in every case
that special arrangement has been
made by which all readers of the Ag-
riculturist, who have not already tried
it, may have a sample bottle sent alb
solutely free by mail. Also a book
telling more about Swamp Root and
containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and women who
owe their good health, in fact, their
very lives, to the wonderful curative
properties of Swamp Root. Be sure
and mention the DeLand (Fla.) Agri-

The Warn brothers are quite busy OF
late filling orders for celery, and re-
port that they cannot begin to supply
the demand. For some time they have
been shipping twenty to thirty dOzeI
per day and receiving rs cents to 81 g
dozen. A large part of their crop was
damaged by the rains as it was plant
ed in very low lands, but they had en-
Ough on little higher ground to
make it quite profitable for them
They will be shipping for some weeks
yet and as their celery is crisp, tender
and we'll bleached they will continue
to receive good prices as long as II
lasts.-BartOW rier-InfOrmant.
Last week the steamer Manatee
brought up on her regular run from
Manatee river points two hundred

shipment to northern markets and she
brought up nearly a car load from the
same points Wednesday. These ship
ments all go north via the f. G. & P.
The celery growers along the Manatee
are reaping a rich harvest at the pres
ent time as the demand for celery is
much greater than the supply. 1t is
one Of the very few vegetables that
escaped injury from the frost and at
the present price the growers get a
good profit. An official of the road
stated that he expected to snip at
least a car load every day.-Tampa

Senator Hastings Speech.

Hon. T. Nelson Hastings OF Walpole,
who has been chosen president Of the New
Hampshire senate, made the following
speech when he took the chair Wednes-
day.
Senators Il can only thank you most
sincerely at this time for your very great
kindness in making me your presiding Of
icer, but will endeavor to more fully ex-
press to you my appreciation and gratitude
by my efforts to serve you honestly and
impartially.
We have assembled here today to begin
the important duties intrusted to us by our
constituents, and promote the interest Of
the state we love. We have come, too, at
time when there is cause for great re-
joicing throughout the country; when the
sufferings of an outraged and downtrodden
people have been alleviated by the humane
lntercession Of our liberty loving country,
and their march OF civilization and progress
has begun. With the American flag fl rat
ing over the island of Cuba and the Philip
pines, their liberty, protection and pros
perity are assured.
In considering the various questions
which will confront us, we must remember
that economy should be our watchword at
all times, and we should not be prodigal of
that which rightly belongs to others. We
can well afford to have what is necessary,
but we should not indulge in Injuries until
we are out of debt. 1t is not for us to
practice our economy on our necessities,
but on our Injuries. If the work which
lies before us could be confined to the en-
actment of only such laws as were neces-
sary, very little time would be required to
perform and complete our duties here.
Past experience has taught me that con-
siderable portion of our work will be to
prevent the enactment of unwise and un-
necessary laws, but j have no fears but
that the best interests OF the state will be
considered by us at all times.
Senators, again | thank you most hearth
ly for your confidence and kindness, and
extend to each Of you my most cordial
greeting.

How Morrill, Entered Politics.

A Vermont friend and warm admirer of
the late Senator Morrill, told a few days
ago some very interesting circumstances
regar ding Mr.. Morlill's first election which
tended to show how completely political
accident may change the entire trend Of a
mans life. Mr. Morrill, was entirely un-
known in state pol tics at that time, and
was quiet resident in small towr, keep
ing the country store and running a little
farm. Andrew Tracy had been elected to
congress at the preceding election and as
it was supposed that he would succeed him
self no thought had been given to the choice
OF another candidate. Mr.. Tracy, how
ever, positively declined to stand for re-
election He did not find Washington life
or nationa al politics at all to his liking and
nothing would induce him to reconsider his
determination.
1t was on the eve OF the convention and
a man must be found quickly to step into
Mr.. Tracy's congressional shoes. Some
one suggested that Mr.. Morrill, of STRAIT.
ford was quiet aud conservative, and that
he certainly would not do any harm in one
term, pending more permanent selection,
and be was nominal ed and elected. To
the surprise OF every one he entered earn
estly upon the duties of his new position
and soon gained powerful hold on his
constituents. From that moment his life
work changed and he became the back
bone Of Vermont politics, succeeding him
self in office in either house or senate until
at the time of his death he had served Al
consecutive yeas.

The surprising record of the New York
Life Insurance company for 1898 is before
us. The company wrote upward OF $4,000
new policies last year, irsuring over
15l 100000, 100000 more than was
placed in 1897. It's income was nea ,ly
45 900, 900 and it psid upward of Fl ,000..
900 in claims. 1t paid 100000 in divi.
dends, which is 100000 more than was
paid in 1897. This Is one Of the largest
years business in the company's great his

An Amusing Incident.

One amusing incident was brought out
recently in conversation about Mr.. Prouty' IS
canvass. Two men of o leans county
were passing the residence of late execu-
tive whose home is in Derby one day last
week and it became known to the honored
gentleman that they were out making
canvass of the county in Mr.. Prouty's
interests. The unftness of such an early
canvass before the remains of our much
beloved senator were laid to rest was very
wildly portrayed by his ex-excelency who
was shocked beyond measure at such unhal-
lowed work. However the two gentlemen
drove on to neighboring town and the
first man they approached on the subject
Of successor to Senator Morrill, queily
informed them that the ex-governor men
toned above had telephoned him the pre-.
ceding day asking his support for the con
gresham who for week past has beer
confined to the house with the grip.-Free

Lowell, Mass, Dec. 31.-Mill agents OF
Lowell agree that the situation is much
improved. Agent Thomas, represent
ing the fremont and Suffolk, one of the
largest mills in the state, says they are
running full blast. Agent Southworth
of the Massachusetts mills believes that
the coming year will be the first salts
factory one since 1892. Acting Agent
Savage of the Boot reports a regular
boom in his mill. but adds that this is
not usually regarded as a healthy i'm
provement. Agent Pead of the Merri-
mack thinks that the optimism, as indi-
Gated in the newspapers, is premature,
but he also believes the prospects have
the right tendency.
