HlNSDALE, N. H.
Deacon S. K. HIIdreth Gained.

4 reception was rendered to Deacon S.
X Hndreth at the Congregational church
Saturday evening, which, though pleas
ant social affair was yet tinged with
sadness because the good deacon was so
soon to leave us to take up his abode in
Brattleboro. The affair was hastily got
ten up and as the regular services were
not held at the church, it being the vaca-
ton season, many who doubtless would
have been glad to have been present were
unaware of the gathering, consequntly
the numbers were less than would have
been expected under more favorable con-
ditions. The affair was entirely informal,
but all were glad to shake hands with
Mr. Hildreth, and offer their good wishes
for many comfortable years in the quiet
of the Home he enters. After short,
but delightful program consisting Of in
strumental and vocal selections by Miss
Carrie ]. Stearns and Mrs. f. l.. Rob
inson and a reading by Mrs. W. F. White,
Rev w F. White, pastor OF the church,
| i'm behalf Of his friends presented Mr..
| Hildreth with handsome gold headed
cane Mr.. Hldreth feelngly responded.
after which there were several short
/ speeches, all attesting to Mr.. Hildreth 5
worth as an upright citizen, and true
/ Christian gentleman. Light refreshments
were served. MIR. Hildreth left for his
new home in Brattleboro Monday, carry
/ ing with him the assurance that among
his Hinsdale friends the latch string
for him will always hang on the outside.

Voice From Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, Aug. 15.-(Spe-
cial)-Nearly every newspaper tells of
some wonderful cure of some form of
Kidney Disease by the Great Ameri-
CAM Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
this part of Arkansas is not without
its share of evidence that no case is
too deeply rwooted for Dodd's Kidney
Pills to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cure
after nearly quarter of century s
suffering. Mr.. Carlile says:
~ want to let the public know
what think of Dodd's Kidney Pills
| think they are the best remedy foI
sick kidneys ever made.
81 had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
| recommend them to all sufferers
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Brig Its Disease.
