I consulted doctor after doctor and took their medicines, but felt no better friend recommended my to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and I must say I derived immense benefit almost from the first week. I continued the medicine, talk ing 1t regularly, and am now in splendid health. The pains and aches have all gone.

I will gladly answer any one who desires to write me regarding my case. most heartily endorse Swamp Root from every standpoint There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root. and 1t goes right to the weak spots and drives them out of the system''

Every Family In the South Should

The Pecan tree not only bears one OF
the most delicious nuts, but it is one OF
the most hardy trees that grows in the

to be without few trees. It would pay

authorities do, plant nut bearing trees

out thousand trees on the sidewalks at
comparatively small cost would, in ten
years, get an annual return Of at least
$500 90 and each year there would be
an increase until the income would reach
from three to five thousand dollars
annually. Enough to more than pay all
taxes of an ordinary size town.

Stand by the Homo Merchant.

The home merchant helps pay for
the streets you walk on, for tho
schooling of your children. He helps
keep up the churches in which you
worship. He is the man who builds
up home which enhances the value
of property. Every subscription that
is passed around has his name on it.
He is = man who cannot afford to
swindle. Self-interest, if nothing
else, would prevent this. He bears
his share of the good government and
stays with it through sunshine and
darkness, in days of adversely and
prosperity. When you have shopping
to do, remember the home merchant.
