When the kidneys are sick there l. always a warning to tell you of it, and when the kidneys cal! for help there is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fafnl-cause more deaths ev- cry year than any other human ills. But in nine cases out of ten this is due to neglect. Kidney dis eases are easily contracted. but just as easily cured when treat ed properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles ere colds. levers. expo sure, strains on the back, blood poisoning diseases, and indui- gence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood fll- ters, and when they become sick. the blood is soon laden with i'm purities, which the kidneys have failed to remove. This causes backache. stiff, lame and sore muscles, aching joints. spells of dizziness. headaches, rheumatic pains, sleeplessnesA nervousness. and lan3uor. weak heart and urinary troubles.
 There is only one thing to do when any of fhese symptoms ap- pear, ard that Is to cure the Kid neyr. No need to experiment. Doan's Kidney Pills have cured hundreds of people in your own eity. Tbeir teDfins1 pfUvesA

 ~ CIENCE has first been the MNA servant of the dwellers in MF1SY towns. The centers of pop N ulation have claimed the WSS practical results of scien-
 N5 tiflc research, instruction
 and invention. Partly oe- cause of this the drift has been away from the farms, to the sorrow of all who love the human race. Why should the independence of farm life appeal when profit and comfort and culture were the portions of the-city? Science has come to change conditions. Science is the new farm hand.
 The objection to the life of the farm has been threefold; its isolation, it's discomfort, its financial outcome. Tho loneliness of living away from other people in the towns drove the thoughts of the young man downward and soon he followed after his own thoughts. The farmer realizing the hardness of rural conditions, its helplessness in many ways, could not find it in his heart to oppose. The farmers wife.

PELAHATCHIE HIGH SCHOOL.

The closing exercises of the Pelahatchie
High School took place last Thursday
evening. Many visitors were present
from Pearson. Brandon,l Morton and
Forest. The leading attraction being a
grand concert consisting of tableaux, pan
TONNES, Rotations and varied comic pro-
auctions. One of the most interesting of
the latter was the 'Old Maids Club"
This was participated in by number of
our young ladies who, beyond doubt,
reveal the fact that they have been initi-
ated unto the intricacies and secrets of the
"old maid'' estate. Miss Edna Clement,
the manager, has shown herself to be
master of the practical, as we'll as technic-
al art, of school work. The large audi
ence was unstinted in giving her praise
for the enjoyments of the evening. Our
people look forward to her return for next
session with pleasure.
Prof Rumble, with corps of assistants,
will open in September next what promises
to be the most successful session our
school has ever had.
