Good News for All.

Bradford, Tenn, Nov. 21.-(SpecialI
- Scientific research shows Kidney
Trouble to be the father of go many dis.
eases that news of a discovery of sure
cure for it cannot fail to be welcomed
all over the country. And according tc
Mr.. j. A. Davis, of this place, just such
. cure is found in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Davis says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed them. They have done me
more good than anything 1 have ever
taken. I had Kidney Trouble very bad
and after taking few boxes of Dodd' e
Kidney PILE am completely cured. I
cannot praise them too much"
Kidney Complaint develops into
Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes,
Rheumatism, and other painful and
fatal diseases. The safeguard is to cure
your kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills
when they show the first symptoms OF
disease.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and com mruendation testifying to
the merits of Peruna as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar
tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and 1ostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy. are es-
pecially enthusiastic in thei1 praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Cata1rh is we'll nigh universal; almost
omnipreaent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of ca
tarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of it's victims.
Peruna not only cures catarrh, but
prevents it. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs. colds and SO forth.
The ex-governor of Oregon is an ard
ent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house.

And now.
THANKSGIVING IN 1895.
How Washingtonis Proclamation Diff
fered from Those of Later Days.

How Washingtonss Proclamation DIFF
fered from Those of Later Days.
Nowadays, the Thanksgiving proclama
ton of the State and national executives
are brief compared to what they were In
the early days of our republic, says q
writer in the Boston Herald. In the case
of the latter he doesn't foreshadow his
forthcoming annual message as was
somewhat the vogue In President Wash
ington's time. This is seen in the Thanks
giving proclama tons issued by our great
and good first President in the early part
Of the year 1895, in which he appointed
Feb. 10 as "a day of public thanksgiv,
ing and prayer" The Father of His
Country" was then 63 years Of age and
was serving his sixth year as President
1t was long document and covered
quite a number Of points. OF these,
will advert very briefly to only three OF
four which are peculiarly significant.
In the preamble he mentions, as the
first subject, demanding the public at
tention ON this solemn occasion, our ex-
emption from a foreign war" and next
proposes, as IAN object of gratitude, ~
the increasing prospect of the continu-
ance of our exemptions from foreign
war" Which propositions evidently re-
late to the settlement, through special
envoy, John Jay, Of our serious trou-
bles with Great Britain, growing out of
the continued occupation by the British
OF the western forts ON Lake Erie, con-
trary to the treaty of 1888; and the seiz-
ure Of American vessels bound for
French ports by British ships and the
Imprisonment Of American seamen.
Another cause for thanksgiving, ac-
cording to the same high authority, is
1.-THE great degree of internal tranquility
we have enjoyed" To which is added
''our cause for thankfulness for the re-
cent confirmation of that tranquility by
the suppression of an insurrection which
SO wantonly threatened it."
And in another place the President re-
peats this idea, asking his people "to
render a tribute of praise and gratitude
to the Great Disposer of all events, for
the seasonable control which has been
given in a spirit of disorder in the sup
preston of the late insurrection." What
the President had in mind in this allu-
sion was the "great whisky insurrection"
in Pennsylvania in 1904, caused by the
passage by Congress Of acts imposing
duties upon spirits distilled and upon
stills. 1t was finally suppressed by Gov.
Lee Of Maryland, with 1900 troops,
acting under orders Of the President

A THANKSGIVING SURRENDER
BY MARION A. LONG.

"Oh, Bob, just look at these two pump
kins! Aren't they monsters! They are
Just alike. too. I'll bet they're twins.
MY eyes, Roy, but they are whop-
pers! l wonder if we can have them
for lanterns. Wen ask mother"
"Mother!" called Bob and Roy from
the back yard, ''can we have these two
pumpkins for lanterns?"
"Oh, what large ones. Yes, boys. you
may have them. They are too big for
pies" answered Mrs. Phillips from the
doorway.
The boys continued their work of gath
ering pumpkins, and only one was found
to match ''the twins" in size.
"We'll make a lantern tonight out of
this one, Bob. and save the twins till
Thanksgiving eve. Then We'll have some
fun said Roy.
Il say, Roy, let's go and scare those
people down in the hollow. Hold it up
to the window and then run. The boy
who lives there hit me with a SNOWFALL
and nearly knocked out my front tooth,
and I've never had chance to pay him
back"
"All right, Bob, We'll do it."
Early in the evening the boys work ed
industriously at their lantern, cutting
eyes. nose and mouth. Then little pieces
Of candle were placed insiue. and it was
truly a hideouslooking thing Mrs
Phillips. who was busy preparing the
Thanksgiving dainties for that glad day,
did not notice the boys stealthily leave
the house. She despised a mean action.
and Bob and Roy knew she. would not
approve Of their unkind sport. They
quickly crossed the fields and walked
down hill into lonely, damp hollow.
Right before them stood small, tumble
down house with a feeble light shining
from one tiny window The boys crept
to, this side and crouched beneath it.
Jdst as Bob was about to raise the lam

tern after he had lighted the candles, a
childs voice asked anXiously: a.:
Mother. aren't we going to have any
pumpkin pies or turkey or anything nice
on Thanksgiving? We had such lovely
dinner last time. Is it because we aren t
thankful that we can't have any Thanks
giving dinner?'
There was pane Of glass broken out
Of the window, and the boys could hear
every word. Bob softly lowered the Ian
tern and put out the candles, and both
waited to hear the answer.
No, darling. the reason is that we
haven't any money to buy such things.
Since father died. deary, it has been very
hard for mother to even buy bread for
u.s." -e
Then q boyish voice with brave note
In It spoke:
"Never mind, mother. Wen get along

seh. because they're 30 spicy. But I'm
going to buy Bess a bag Of sugar cookies

Thirty Thousand Dry Goods Stores.
In the United States there are about
thirty thousand shops that sell dry
goods. Twelve thousand Of these may
be ranked as good stores. and about
five thousand are establishments of a
size which makes them important fac
tors in the commercial and domestic
life of their communities. The own
ers of almost all of these shops, the
largest as we'll as the smallest, began
obscurely. The majority Of the most
prosperous have attained their present
success and magnitude during recent
years, in which unsuccessful mer-
chants have been wont to complain
that the competition has been ruinous.

It will be noticed that the ex-govern-

Peruna for other ailments. The reas-
on for this is, most other ailments be-

Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other

This is exactly what every other FAM

keep Peruna in the house. Use it for

Library in Danger.

There is danger of the people of this
city losing the Tabard Inn library,
which is now stationed at the book
store of Held Bros. Mr.. Held is re-
CURED to pay $40 month to the
national society and the receipts from
the exchange of books have not met
the requirements, so that he has been
out considerable in attempting to
maintain the library. With the num-
Der of subscribers in the city that there
are at present it is necessary that all
make two exchanges a month in order
to bring the receipts up to where they
should be. If this could be done the
library would be on good footing.
Some owners of books have not ex-
changed them at all and some have
made but infrequent changes. If these
people would let their privilege to
some one who would use it they would
be doing themselves and many others
benefit by the act and they would be
out nothing. 1t is one of the cheapest
possible ways of securing reading and
should not be permitted to leave the
city.

inn ates of the place has been built.
The new building is located directly
back of the court house and fronts on
Washington street, the cells being in
the rear. Sheriff Julius will hold a
reception in the building shortly after
the lst of October, as he will then have
the most costly of residences in the
City and will be monarch of quite a
domain. Among all who have held
the office of sheriff perhaps he is the
most fitting to preside over the first
real jail that the county has had. He
will be assisted by the jovial Chas.
Brust, who is the most fatherly of all
jailorS and a man who understands
the business.
The plans for this new structure
were made by A. j. Van Deusen of
Winona, and he has arranged the
interior most conveniently. Every
foot of space on both floors and the
basement is utilized and the handsome
bastile is provided with total of ten
cells for the incarceration of male and
female prisoners, a number which will
no doubt prove sufficient for the
