Mrs. P. Ferrie, wife of P. Ferrie,

81 am in doubt as to the date when
first noticed symptoms of kidney COM
plant but two years ago the aching
across my back was SO pronounced that
no doubt existed, in my mind, but that
my kidneys required attention.
grew worse in place of better and
finally a spasm of pain occurred so
quickly and unexpectedly that drop
ped helpless and had to be carried TO
bed. When in this condition the
slightest touch from friends assist ng
me actually made me exclaim. For
days was so sore and tender that it
was necessary to move me in bed with
the sheet. I improved slowly only to
have a recurrence and as these spells
continued was confined to my bed
the greater part Of the time. Now
when one has been under the best OF
treatment given by skilltul physicians
and when medicine of all kinds fail to
do its promised work you eventually
become discouraged, so that when I
went to the Shuttleworth Drug Co.'s
store for Doan's Kidney Pills I expect
ed very little if any result. Much to
my surprise, and certainly great
deal more to my satisfaction, the
treatment proved very efflcacious. A
continuation of it has so lessened the
pain in my back and improved my
general condition that / am abe to
attend to the ordinary household du-
ties without inconvenience. For the
undoubted benefit received from
Doan's Kidney Pills am more than
pleased to recommend them.

A Dog by Express.
Forest and Stream.

, Forest and stream.
While messenger for the Elk
press Company fifteenyears ago L
took on at small station a
genuine "nigger" hound valued at
$50. He was a vicious fellow, and
1 did not try to cultivate a close
acquaintance. We travelled all
right for 100 miles or so, when all at
once the dog came tearing out of
the crate. I did not try to stop
him, but just let him go. When
we stopped at a water tank 1
did not try to close the door, but
let him hit the trail.' In fact,
[ helped him all that L could by
throwing coal at him (by the
way, l was on top of the highest
pile of trunks in the carr, this
being all that I could pick up to
defend myself with except my
Colt 40, and 1 knew better than
to shoot the dog.
I was drawing only $50 per
month then, and when that dog
left the car [ saw $50 of it pinned
to his tail. Well we pulled out,
and I was in u peck o. trouble"
1 could not afford to pay $50 for
dog: and worse still losing my
job, was out of all reason. We
had still to run one hour and
fifty minutes, and I had that
time to think it over. So by the
time we reached 81 had made
up my mind to make Il report
of the whole matter and pay for
the dog. OF course, l was blue.
When we stopped the agent
came to the car, and when he
saw me he said: Great Scott!
Kid, what have you been crying
about? Did you get rattled:'
said, No, SIR At that moment
a negro boy came along with an
exact counterpart, except the
biting qualities, of the lost dog,
and l said, Say, Bill, you want
to sell that dog:'' Vas, boss.''
That made me feel good.
well, [ bought his dog for
50 cents and put him in the crate:
and until this day that dog man
is selling full-blOOd blood

Or his get. l have visited his
kennels and have heard him

Com muniCatiOn.

Mr.. Editorials 4 voter interested in Our
approaching Democratic primary election,
l would like to make inquiry concerning
the two tickets. l not into the secrets
OF either side, but it is openly stated and
generally accepted as true, that the ticket
known as the .'ol Council,'' (Which in
cudes the present incumbent of the Office of
mayor, four of the old Council and three
new members,) have agreed upon, and in
fac, selected the officers who will serve the
town, in the event of their election. Should
this ticket go in, it is admitted that Mr..
Charles Debaillon will serve the town
collector of taxes and licenses, etc. 1 hear
ii said by those in a position to know that
this young man has made most excellent
record collector and thereby has proved
his wor,hiness. Likewise, ii IS said Mr.. F.
Navasseur Mouton will be treasurer under
this Council, and it is everywhere conceded
that Mr.. Mouton IS in every respect a COM
pe,ent officer, we'll worthy to be e-elected.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Louis Lacoste will
again be secretary should this ticket go in;
if this be true, it is a wise selection. This
young man, according to those in authority,
has done we'll. For chief of police, Mr..
Edwin Campbell has been chosen. This is
another good selection. Mr.. Campbell has
been a member of the police force for
:
ton, and shown excellent judgment the
discharge of his duties. For deputy police
men, Mcssrs. Henry Hebert and Sidney
Neazey have been chosen. Both of them
have been tried, and they not found
wanting. They will do we'll. And finally
Mr.. Abram IIirsch will hold down his old
position of jaler, which he has for some
time filled to the satisfaction of those in
thority.
Therefore, in voting for the ''Old Council''
the people know just exactly what the
future has in store for them, in this regard.
There might be circumstances under which
there would be necessity tor set of
Councilmen to bind themselves, but this is
not OF them. In view of the peculiar
nature of the present contest, the voting
public is entitled to be informed in relation
to these matters. Nothing is known to
who will fill these offices should the
ticket be elected, is /, known how these
gentlemen stand upon any of the vital ques-
ton tOuch hing the welfare of the town.

Crow Grard takes occasion TO complain
that the City Council have never given the
public any Information concerning the cleo

which they are entitled 10 know. In this he
is in error; the City Council has aimed TO
keep and to publish the very fullest accounts
of the collection and disbursement of all the
wa,erworks tax, well Of all other taxes
of the town The collector and treasurer
furnish the Council with monthly reports;
the books of these officers examined and
checked quarterly by the finance committee;
this committee makes quarterly, and n
ycarly, re, ort to the Council. in which the
finances of the town are revicwcd, and
stated much in detail possible, and.
finally. all of these reports are published
and spread upon the minutes, and arc now
and have been at all times, open to the in
the town.
Moreover. the officers of the town stand
ready to assist any citizen who may desire
to do SO, in locking into the accounts, and
protest that the courIs. pursued hy Mr..
