IN AN IDLE MOMENT.

Why is it Greenville can't do some
thing toward making her streets passa-
BILE in wet weather? This week | re-
ceived note asking me to Jump on
the council" about this matter. But |
must decline to jump. Not that lack
the nerve, but if was councilman
would not tackle this Greenville mud,
and for that reason refuse to Jump
on 1.-THE men who are councilmen. Still
/ would be glad to see something done
toward keeping the board walks where
the streets cross them clear of so much
mud during the rainy weather, but as
know of no way in which it can be
done will leave the matter open for
the present. If you know of plan,
send it to me and will see that it is
given publicity, and feel sure that If it
is feasible the city fathers will do all
in their power to carry it out.
The prevailing style Of pretty things
in hosiery is, l am afraid, going to
have bad effect on the rising genera
ton.

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect TO live long, because they
cannot eat the food required to noursh
the body and the products Of the nndi
gested food they do eat poison the blood.

doing this is to use the preparation
known as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t

digestive organs to perfect health.
