Mr.. Boone Coulter, one of oui
neighbors who is noted as one o.
our best stock raisers and owners
last week sold TO one firm sixty
head of fine hogs and they brought
him the nice little sum of $3.50
Boone is one of our hustling young
men that don't let any grass grow
under his feet. He believes il
raising all kinds of fine stock as
we'll as fine crops. His father Col
Coulter, who is somewhere between
20 and 80 years old last week
planted him nice fall garden and
a fine turnip patch Most men his
age go around hobbling on walk
ing stick and taking tonic OF
some kind and are forever COM
planning; the kind of tonic Col.
Coulter takes is fresh air and
plenty of exercise. I'll venture to
say he can, and does, do more work
than any young man 20 years old.
He is of a lively disposition, always
has a kind word for everybody and
there is nothing Gypsy enjoys
better than to hear him laugh one
Of those big hearty laughs. Col.
Coulter is not like most people that
are just in the prime OF life that
60 moping around forever worrying
other people with their troubles
and complaining about this thing
and that thing, The Colonel's
motto is to live and let live and to
make everybody happy. He is a
man that this entire county is proud
of and may he live many years
longer to cheer those that get
down in the mouth and some times
have what is called the blues. /

BAD HEALTH.
Worry, 0verwork, Hasty Eating, Ex.
cesslve Use Of Liquors, Loss Of
Sleep, Neglect Of Natures
Calls. These Bring onthe
Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
is treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifiing symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal fer prompt remedial measures.
Prictly Ash Bitters is kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re-
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, It
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
Of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickiy Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.

ORIGIN OF LLOYD'S.
Humble Beginning of EurOpe's Great
Maritime Agency.

Humble Beginning of Europe's Great
Maritime Agency.
= Two centuries ago a man who had
a cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid of some of the risk
by inducing a friend to take an interest
with him. 1t was necessary to write
out statement of contract to which
the guarantors subscribed. This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened to be frequenters of Lloyd's
coffee house in London, which was a
favorite place for the merchants of the
town to gather to discuss business or to
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan-
tage Of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised, and on the next
voyage the risk was parceled out
among a larger number of the patrons
Of the coffee house.
Out of this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agency, still bearing the name of the
humble coffee house proprietor, anc
which not only writes risks on vessels
but rates them and publishes their ar
rivals at every port the world over, NJ

There are some people of the pres
ent day who are still living in caverns.
Of course, their number is very small,
but in all the continents there are
some very poor people or primitive
tribes who have no other dwelling
places than in caves or old abandoned
quarries or mines. In Australia the
most miserable tribes still live in cav
erns. In France there still exist sew
eral centers of cavern jewellers, and
there are also some in the Lipari
Islands and in Tunis.

A Factory Chapel.

For more than half a century the
lace manufacturing firm of Messrs.
Thomas Adams & Co., Nottingham,
England, have insisted on all their
work people, who number some hun
dreds of both sexes, attending a short
service each morning prior to commend
ing their days work. The firm have a
large chapel underneath their ware
house, with an excellent organ, while
the choir, composed of their own en-
ployees, is one that would do credit to
many of our leading places of worship.
A local clergyman attends each morn
ing for the service which usually lasts
about half an hour, and sermon is
preached three times week.
