First ward of the city of Lockport, has
written the following letter for pub
lication to the newspapers:

for Kidney Trouble.
''My kidneys troubled me more OF

physicians only gave me partial and
temporary relief.
can old friend, knowing my trouble,
advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills
telling me at the same time how much
they had helped him.
II used altogether six boxes and

many other distressing difficulties aris-
ing from diseased Kidneys"

DURABILITY OF WOODS.
Seie ntiac Experiments from the Re.
suits Of which Many Practical
Lessons May BE Learned,

Experiments have been lately made
by driving sticks, made of different
woods, each two feet long and one and
one-half inches square, into the
ground, only one-half an inch project
ing outward. Itwas found that in five
years all those made of oak, elm, ash,
fir, soft mahogany, and nearly every
variety of pine, were totally rotten.
LarcR, hard pine and teak wood were
:decayed on the outside only; while
acacia, with the exception of being
also slightly attacked on the exterior,
was otherwise sound. Hard mahogany
and cedar of Lebanon were in tolerably
good condition; but only Virginia ce-
dar was found as good as when put in
the ground. This is Of some impor-
lance to builders, showing what woods
should be avoided and what others
used by preference in underground
work. The duration Of wood when
kept dry is very great, as beams still
exist which are known to be nearly
1, 100 years old. Piles driven by the
Romans prior to the Christian era have
been examined of late and found to be
perfectly sound after an immersion Of
nearly 1900 years. The wood of some
tools will last longer than the metals
as in spades, hoes and plows. In other
tools the wood is first gone, as in wag
ons, wheelbarrows and machines. Such
wood should be painted or oiled; The
paint not only looks well, but pre-
serves the wood. Petroleum oil is as
good as any other. Hardwood stump:
decay in five or six years, spruc.
stumps decay in about the same time
hemlock stumps in eight to nine years
cedar eight to nine years, pine stump
never. Cedar, oak, yellow pine and
chestnut are the most durable wood.

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about
. the aches and pains of bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the Kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the body and
Ego wrong" at times no matter how
well the general health may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
Indications Of kidney trouble. You
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and twitches of back
ache pains, but, lay it to other causes;
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton of the urine, too freqhent urina-
ton, makes you realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take a remedy that will not only re-
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it teaches:

one bottle of Peruna and was we'll.
"Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My

She took Peruna and now she iswell.
II cannot express my thanks. in
words, but l recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for l can con-
scientiously say that there is no medi-
cine like Peruna. Nearly. everyone in

Of the Atlantic and Birmingham, are
here tonight and when asked about
the deal informed your correspondent
that they knew nothing about it. 1t
is known here. however, that there
is some talk of the Atlantic and Birm-
ingham building from a point on their
line at or near Beach, about twenty
miles from Waycross. in a direction
towards Brunswick, the objective
point as rumor goes, making CON
nection with the Brunswick and Biz

Beach few weeks ago in the direc-
ton of Brunswick, which is supposed

and Birmingham railroad. The At
lantic and Birmingham, with a force
of nearly 200 hands, is laying one
mile a day on their Cordele extern
sion, and expect to be running trains
into that city March l.
In regard to the above published
rumor, President Machen yesterday
wired the following from New York:
ANY rumor that our road has been
sold is without shadow OF foundation. .

rumor gained currency, as those
