AUGUSTA PEOPLE
Can Always Find the Best Proc in Kone
Testimony.

The following public statement
comes from Il resident, who can be
seen on the street, who can be inter-
viewed at his home. and who will be
only too pleased to give minute par
ticulars to anyone who really suffers
from any of the consequences which
inevitably follow weakened or over
excited kidneys.
Is not such evidence of more value
than published statement from some
citizen of a far-aWay place?
Mr.. Seth Gay of 122 Belfast Ave,
says: Time demonstrates the won
derful value of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They cured me in the spring of 1896.
and at that time l gave state. nent
for publication in our Augusta papers.
1t is now fully two and a half years
since that statement first appeared.
and my faith in Doan's Kidney Pills in
place Of lessening has increased. They
are one remedy which acts up to the
representations made for It. Any one
who goes to Partridge's Drug store.

TO LIGHT BELGRADE MILLS.
Movement Started to Put an Electric Lighting
Plant in That Place.

There is a slight delay in starting the
lighting system at Oakland on account
of the difficulty in getting supplies. At
the present time the work is entirely
suspended. The wires have been
strung part way To Oakland, and there
the supply of wire on hand gave out
Since then the linemen have been wait
ing for the new wire and other ap-
paratus to come. 1t is the intention of
the managers of the company to give
a much better service in Oakland. 1t
is the plan to put in an entirely new set
of lamps and to use the enclosed are
lights. similar to those used in this city.
There is a plan in mind. although it
may not be carried out. to light the
town of Belgrade Mills by electricity.
If that is done it will be necessary to
put in an electric lighting system in
that place. One of the plans being
talked over is to purchase or lease the
water privilege in that place and
from that get power with which to run
the dynamos. There are several Of
the hotels there that the owners wish
To light by electricity 50 that there will
be no lack of customers should the pro-
moters see fit to carry out the plan that
they have in mind.
In case that plan is not carried out it
is extremely probable that one or two
of the hotels will put in their own
lighting plants and possibly from these
supply the other parts of the town.
The people in that vicinity. owning to
the successful fishing season. last year.
are anticipating more of a rush than
ever this year.

What We Eat

Is intended to nourish and sustain us,
but it must be digested and assimilated
before it can do this. In other words
the nourishment contained in food
must be separated by the digestive
organs from the waste materials and
must be carried by the blood to all
parts of the body. We believe the
reason for the great benefit which so
many people derive from Hoods Sarsa
parilla lies in the fact that this medi
cine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the func-
tions Of those organs which convert
food into nourishment that gives
strength to nerves and muscles. 1t
also cures dyspepsia. scrofula, salt
rheum, boils. sores, pimples and erup-
tions, catarrh, rheumatism and all dis
eases that have their origin in impure
blood.
