organization of Dinwiddie county"
Our somewhat contentious conversa-
ton concerned the relative merits of
Kaf1ir and common corn for fattening
purposes. The pertinence of Capt.
Baggs' recollections was often start
ling. For instance. the subject of
Herefords would suggest to his mind
the eXactions of the shoe trust, and
a simple assertion that it was 'gittin'

Shifting his feet from the bricks,
which held one corner of the stove i'll
precarious security, to the edge of the
grocer's counter, thus etfectually cut

Baggs proceeded with the narration of
the early annals of Dinwiddie county.

A Sensational Case.

Aston, Mich, May 25th.-Houghton
County has never witnessed a more strik-
ing medical case than that OF Mr.. James
Culet of this place.
Mr.. Culet had spent small fortune with
the best physicians in the county and IN
addition to this he has tried every medicine
he could hear Of
He had a very bad case of Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble, from which he had
suffered for twenty years. Nothing he
could get seemed to do him any good, and
he was gradually growing worse.
He has no Rheumatism now and explains
it thus:
"One day happened to see an advertise
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and decided to-
try them.
4 made up my mind to give them good
fair trial. as my case was very bad one
and was of over twenty years standing.
Il used altogether AZ boxes and can
truthfully say that they have driven out
every trace Of the Rheumatism.
Il feel like a new man, and | can and do
most heartily recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills for Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.

treated to rare exhibition Gr base
ball, the Glenwood boys crossing bats
with the locals. For ten innings the
two teams battled with on mother
and there was an abundance 81 excite
ment. A dispute over a DECISION in
the tenth inning delayed the came to
such an extent that the captains Of
both teams mutually agreed to call it
a draw. AS near as can be learned
the two aggregations will again meet
here on June 10th. Booth, the Duluth
bender, hurled the sphere for the
locals and demonstrated that he is
pitcher of splendid worth Both
pitchers were given excellent support
and our Boys are to be congratulated
upon their work. A neat sum has al
ready been subscribed for the nurnose
of securing a second pitcher for the
home team. Although the home bows
still have few rough edges to round
up they are fast getting into form and
before the season has greatly advanced
the Sank Centre ball team will be one
OF the best in this section of the state.
The boys are practicing at every op-
portunity and this is what they need.
Practice makes perfect. The Glen
wood team is made up of good timber
and when the return game is played
there will be plenty of excitement.
