STOPPING a good deal, no doubt, was
the cause of my kidney trouble. There
was continual pain across my back,
not sharp, but of dull, disagreeable
nature, so bad at times that l would
have to get down off my seat in the
engine and straighten up in order to
get relief. Often at night my back
was so lame and sore that could not
lie comfortable in any position, and
the secretions were irregular and dis
tressing at times. 1t was some three
years ago that Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me. procured
them while in Memphis, and used in
all several boxes and the results Of the
treatment proved decidedly satisfac'
tory. Last fall recurrence of kidney
complaint set in, and, knowing what
to do, went to drug store and got

Mr.. j r. Moffatt, at Troy, has
now in operation his improved new
cotton gin, built since the destruc-
ton of the old one by fire several
months ago. The new one, we are
informed, is much more improved
and better protected against fire.
The cotton is taken up from the
wagon bv suction in a large funnel
shaned tube This Is lowered TO 2
load of cotton, and in less time than
YOU could ordinarily dump sackful
the entire loads hoisted clean from
the wagon bed, taken into the gin,
fed, operated and baled automati-
cally into one of those small, COM
pact square bales. The machinery
is so adjusted that when there is
danger of fire, by touching a spring
can be closed air tight and without
risk.

The deceased was an invalid for
several years and his death came
as peacefully and quitely as the
setting of the sun.
The aged and venerable citizen
was member of the Cumberland
