What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilrners Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t conects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get UP many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should nave the
best. Sold by druggists in SOC. and$l. sizes.

This splendid health and pleas

season, and attention is directed to
its announcement in our advertis-

Leader has visited Allison,s Wells
several seasons during the sum

observation and experience, can
testify to the virtues of its waters
for those suffering from malaria,
indigestion, nervous complaints,
etc. It is an ideal place for rest
and recreation, with all needed
opportunity for amusement and
diversion, or perfect quiet. A
number of our BrookhaYen read
ers and others in this section of
the State are in the habit of going
to some health resort every sea
son, for few days or weeks OF
rest and recuperation. To all
who have never visited Allison's

deserVedly popular resort, feeling
assured III advance that they will
be well pleased with the results.

are still grassy; plants are small,
but where properly cultivated the
crop is generally doing we'll, es-
|pecially over the southern coun-
ties, where squares and blooms
have been noted; complaints of
lice on cotton are numerous.
Many correspondents report an
Improvement in the condition Of
early corn but the crop is gener-
ally in need Of q good rain; some
fields of corn are yellow and are
not very promising; laying by is
