VIM. B. Freeman, of this county, has
sold to Mr.. r. e. Jones, Of Webster
City, Iowa, the very elegant, high
styled saddle and show mare, Maggie
Mcdonald, as good an animal as ever
went out of Missouri. The price paid
was 5000. Maggie is by the premier
of all saddle and show horses, the
great Rex Mcdonald, and was q blue
ribbon winner at all the big fairs and
horse shows. Out Of thirty-nine con-
secutive shows she captured as many
premiums, which is a record rarely, II
ever equaled. MIR. Jones bought this
mare dirt cheap, as the writer knows
that MIR. Freeman has refused 81, 900
for her. 1t fs TO be regretted that such
stock must 60 out OF the county, for 1t
will be hard to replace her.
This great mare was bred, raised
and educated by Billie Freeman and
she has defeated the best horses Ken
lucky or Missouri ever produced.
The sale was made through b. r.
Middleton, of this city, who bought
the horse for Mr.. Jones. She win be
shown at all the big fairs and horse

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with very graf
flying results for disordered kidneys
and states that he believes they have
fully cured him and he ~cheerfully
recommends them to anyone who is
suffering from the kidneys. Powell
suffered from backache and nervous
ness; he used a number of kinds Of
kidney pills and medicines intended
for the kidneys, but nothing has ever
done him the good Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS have done. Kid-ne-oids 60 right

directly on the kidneys and nerves
and they positively will cure all forms
Of kidney and urinary disturbances,
sleeplessness, restlessness and nerv-
business.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,

They are put up in wooden boxes,
which contain enough for about two
