A Weak Cause.

No better evidence could be adj
duced of the utter weakness Of the
cause of the high takers and real
estate boomers than the manner in
which their orators, rooters and or
gans are conducting this canvass.
We invite the fairminded unbiased
voter to look over the columns of a
queer looking creature printed at
our neighbor town, Obion, called
the Outlook, now known as the
"Obion Promoter and Real Estate
Boomer, and see the style of argu-
ment INDUCED in by the editor.
Read the personal slurs cast at
such men as w. H. Swiggart, May
or John T. Walker and a number OF
the best citizens of Union City, all
too, because they dared to exercise
their rights as freemen by going to
Nashville and exposing before the
committee of the Legislature the
plot that was Matched by a few in
terested parties and sprung on the
balance of the county, expecting as
matter of course to catch the peo-
pie mapping" and rush through
the Legislature one OF the biggest
schemes of high taxes ever placed
on the shoulders of an innocent
people. We wish to say along this
line that the lot Of tommyrot with
which that organ is filled will dis
gust any voter who thinks for him
self-and we know that more in
teIligent, independent set OF citi-
Gems does not exist than those of
the grand county of Obion. They
have smashed this scheme in times
past, and on the 25th will bury it so
deep that it may never be resurrect-
ed again to disturb the peace of
Obion County.

That Humboldt Court.

We stated last week that we felt
sure Judge Swiggart in his able and
unanswerable article had underes-
tlmated by a considerable amount
the cost of the two new courts
which few town promoters and
boomers want established, In or
der to have the exact facts and fig
ures on this point, which we said
last week we could get, we wrote
the Clerk of Gibson County for the
exact cost of the one court at Hum
boldt, which we lay before the peo-
pie in this issue. 1t will be seen
that in round figures the Law Court
alone at that place costs Gibson
County taxpayers $1,603 each year,
leaving out entirely $500 clerks
salary and rent of courthouse.
Placing the latter item at the mod
crate sum of $500 makes $500 to be
added to the $1,603 or total of
So, 403, which is taken out of the
pockets of the taxpayers of good
old Gibson to keep up ONE special
court. Now, as our real estate
dealers at Obion want TWO courts
instead of one, any man who can
add two and two will see that the
sum which will be wrung from the
hard earnings of our county annu-
ally, for both of these unnecessary
courts will not be one dollar less
than $4,000. Now we defy and chal-
lenge and call on any boomer in
Obion to successfully refute these
figures. People of Obion! do you
want to put your heads in the hal
ter? DO you feel like saddling on
the overtaxed people of our grand
old county burden like this just
to tickle the pride of few nice fell
low citizens and put money in their
pockets? We don't believe 1T!

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp-
toms is the Prime Cause Of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Brlght's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages

Kidney diseases are so destructive Il
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
ton is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are of Indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is tc apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
FIRST aPtearanee of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima-
ton of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth,
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prick1y Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalcu1ab1e value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in bottle OF
Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in DOCTORS bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. 1t is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as last
resort, in cases that defed their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-cal1ed kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised in instances innu-
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Btters with the
