Has He Found Ite

Polk, Ark, Nov. GA remedy that will
absolutely cure Rheumatism has been dis
covered by Mr.. George Inland of this place.
Mr.. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he
has used is sure cure, for it cured him of a
very serious case of Acute Rheumatism
when he was so bad that he could not move.
This is what he says
Il was troubled with what is called Acute
Rheumatism in 1900. / was in such shape
that | could not move without help. was
treated by physician, who helped me some,
but | was still in great pain when my wife
saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a cure
for Rheumatism. She insisted ON my trying
them, and felt better after taking the first
box. | continued, and now l am well and able
to work all the time. / have found Dodd's
Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed
to be, perfect cure for Rheumatism"
Mr.. Hiland' very positive statement seems
to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheu-
matism can be cured.

influence Her following increased rap
idly, and, though New Lebanon contin-
ued the principal seat, communities were
established in various parts of the
United States; in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York, Ohio and Kentucky. The Shakers
are now decreasing; there are now but
Is communities and 1850 members in
our country. The Shakers are noted for
their belief in the blessedness of the
single state, they wear uniform style
of dress, live very simply and are chiefly
engaged in agricultural pursuits. They
are the oldest of existing communistic
societies in the United States, and whilst
outsiders have not been able wholly to
sympathize with their beliefs, they have
found it easy to admire the industry,
neatness and peace prevailing in their
communities.
The American Thinkers, or Dunkers,
were an offshot of a community in Ger
many. They emigrated to America early
in the eighteenth century and settled in
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. They
dressed much in the style of monks and
nuns, and lived on vegetable diet.
Marriage was not forbidden in the early
days in America, but those that married
were required to move from the Lam
caster settlement. This led to emigra-
ton of married Thinkers to other parts
of the United States, and members of
the sect are now found in New England,
Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana,

Although Boston has been considered
the home par excellence of strange
creeds and dogmas, it would seem from
the above brief review that western New
York and the middle west have harbored
their full share of peculiar beliefs.

The inner wheel consisted of II 2x12-

nothing for repairs, the only expense

could be raised against this mill was the

se,ection OF Seed Corn.

| write here the way we save our Esed
corn, and the time for gathering it. The
best time and method of saving seed
corn is from the earliest gathering.
when you begin gathering for the hogs
in the fall. Make small compartment
at the rear of your wagon, or attach a
basket to it, and when you find extra
nice ears put them in by themselves.
Cure the seed before winter sets in with
fire heat. Arrange rack over head in
your smokehouse and put it up, and
make a fire every day and smoke the
corn until the moisture is gone from
the cob. Corn managed this way will
grow vigorously when spring comes.--

of followers? In appearance, he is I'M
usual; of great girth, but almost dwarf
in height. He gives the impression Of
extreme forcefulness, of enormous phys
ical strength and energy. Ministers of
orthodox denominations generally con-
cede that this reviler of orthodoxy is
in many respects an admirable exhorter,
being intensely argumentative and log
ical. Every Sunday he declaims to thou
sands upon thousands of attentive list
eners. Whole families gladly bring
their substance to lay at the feet of the
new deliverer. The weak and ailing
come to him with confident faith that
he can bestow healing. Far and wide,

while yet lad, and when he grew to
manhood his talents in this direction
greatly widened. About four miles from
Palmyra, on the hill "Cumorah," he
claimed to have discovered his Mormon

Mormon settlements were made in

then the beautiful city was established
