A Fortunate Postmaster.

Kirk, Ark, July 14th.-Mr. William
s. brennan, postmaster at this Office,
counts himself very fortunate man.
Mr.. brennan. in addition to being
postmaster. is Justice Of the Peace, a
member of the Christian church and
highly respected and useful citizen.
He has suffered for some time with
what some people would call ricketts,
or ''rigors" of the kidneys-kidney dis
ease in very painful form. He could
not sleep, he had q dull pain over his
left kidney, was continually restless,
could not lie still, and had to get up
through the night several times, and
was also troubled in this way during
the day.
He used few boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, remedy recently introduced
in this state and advertised as a cure
for Kidney Disease, rheumatism, Ma
laria ETC., and in a short time was
completely restored to vigorous good
health. He is very grateful to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Mo Poultry and EGG Trust.

There has been talk about a poultry
and egg trust. The thing is an alb
surdity at the present time, though II
may become possibility in the fu.
ture, If there shall ever rise a trus.
i'm farm lands. The cry of trust was
based on THE probable fact that the
packing companies had bought up
large quantities of poultry and eggs
and had stored them for a rise. It
wRs simply "a speculation on big
scale. The owners of flocks of hens
are numbered by THE millions and are
too numerous Ito have their product
controlled. Besides. under the stin.

could easily he doubled in a single
year. Unfortunately at the present
time tt seems probable that the pro
ducers OF poultry are not getting the
benefit of THE high prices being paid
by the consumers of poultry and
poultry products. IL that be so, then
the high prices the consumers are
paying will mot stimulate production
and the present very unsatisfactory
state of things will continue. We
would like to hear from our headers
