The Valley of the Nile

Is no richer than the fertile coun-
try traversed by the Illinois Cen
trail railroad in the States of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Lou
isiana. Northern farmers have
awakened to this fact and are
settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,
etc, are all that could be desired
and they are buying land while
the prices are yet very low. Write

UNCOMMON WISDOM.
Sistersville People Should Profit
BY Neighbors' Experience.

It's wise man who PROFITS by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is a chance to
do it and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery of a bad back, the ner-
vousness and restlessness caused
by kidney complaint or the an
noyance of urinary disorders, will
show uncommon wisdom to profit
by this citizens advice.
Frank Hiff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: my kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing a
good deal of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec-
tally when STOPPING or lifting,
and / was so bad sometimes that
it hurt me to straighten. When
l took cold it affected my kid
neys and back more than any
other part and l was compelled
to do something for it. l went
to a drug store for Doan's Kid
ney Pills. They cured me-"

DON'T YOU THINK SO?

Inc wells were SHut uoWH W olo-
tersville; we went
To cast our vote for our next
President.
Teddy and Fairbanks were the
first upon the slate;
The next one in order came the
Governor of the State.
Now voting is a duty that we all
should perform,
But while looking after duty be-
ware of tax reform.
We all remember Grover and the
soup house that we had;
To cast your vote for Dawson was
every bit as bad.
It makes no difference where you
come from or what kind OF
a man,
So you are on the ticket spelled
Republican.
Our taxes may be higher, but
what care we for that;
It would have been dishonor to
elect a Democrat.
And now a line to Teddy while
we wait for his reply;
Of course, we have all forgotten
Just what he done to Schley.
And while these lines he will well
come with outstretched hand
and smile,
And ask you to remember just
what he done to Miles.
And while we are at it without
fear of the law,
We will ask to explain just why
he took Panama.
And just now an explanation
would be welcome if he
could
Tell us why he promoted General
Leonard Wood.
OF course. mistakes will happen
to all mankind,
And excuses for our President
we AN are sure to find.
Of course, our Teddy for three
years we all have admired
And for four more years he is
welcome, but there is one
that should be fired.
Teddy always stands for justice,
which always shows the man
am sorry that we cannot say
the same of every Republi,
can.
There would be no landslides OF
need Of salt river boat,
If every voter in this land would
refuse to sell his vote.
P. S.-The moral to these
lines is for every one to try and
vote for principle instead of the
man. H. CRAIG.

Cleaning Paint.

Use only hot water, with a LITTLE
ammonia added, for cleaning paint.
Ordinary kitchen soaps wear off the
paint and do not clean it SO quickly
and thoroughly as ammonia. Use

CAMPAIGN sooKs DESTROYED
Not Even the Bookkeeper Can Tel
How the Funds Are Distributed.

During national campaigns, the books
oil the treasurer and manager are kept In
a peculiar way Instead Ot entering ac'
counts by name, each account is given
a number, and is thus carried throughout
the camp ,ign. The key to this legendary
system Is Known only TO two or three
trusted meD, and the accountants who
keep the books have not the slightest
kno " ledge OF what Stste committee or
other organization or individual stands
behind the number. After the campaign
IL over the hooks are burned, and all the
records, except possibly soms private
memorandum kept by the manager, are
wiped out Oi existence. Such thing as
the auditing Of campaign expenditures
was never known, and probably never
will be known, so far as national cam
paigns are concerned Every thug Is trust
ed to the honor OF the responsible men.
and we have never heard that any OF the
managers of a national campaign were
suspected Of betrayal Of these trust in
any way.
