The Richest Man in the World.

The richest man in the world can not
have his kidneys replaced nor live with
out them, so it is important not to neglect
these organs. If Foley's Kidney Cure is
taken at the first sign of danger, the
symptoms will disappear and your health
will be restored, as it strengthens and
builds up these organs as nothing else
will. Oscar Bowman, Lebanon, KY,

Cure and take great pleasure in stating
it cured me permanently Of kidney dis
ease, which certainly would have cost
me my life" The Hartmann Drug Co.

counts for our misfortune; but our
new men played fine bail to be on
their first match game. The result
of the game is as follows: Newberry
scored O, Erskine scored 4; Newberry
made Z hits, Erskiue made 8; New
berry made no errors, E.skine made
two.
Our bows treated the Erskine boys
with greatest courtesy. They took
the team ah5 gave them meals and
last night provided places for them
to stay in college smoag the boys
Oar CO eds were alec very kind in
pro7iding reception especially for

eds and seemed to enjoy Themselves
among the fair sex. Our college
quartette, Messrs. I B Long, j. M.
Bedenbaugh, g. NJ Eleazsr and +.
S. Long sang several nice pieces
which were very much enjoyed by
all. Mr.. j. NJ. Schroeder and Coach
Holland sang a few pieces. After
this our CO eds with Mrs. Scherer
sang several college songs.
Mr.. v. B. Sease, who has been
away for some time on account OF
the mumps and measlee, returned
about week ago. We are glad to
see him back for we missed him very
much while he Was away.
Our YouBg Mems Christian As

Interstate convention held in Char
lesion March 1926, 1905. The fol-
lowing members represented our
association: Messrs D. w. Moose, j.

panied our boys and preached in the
Lutheran church on Sunday. Our
young men are doing good work in
the association this year.
Mr.. Editor, I notice in your paper
that many citizens of Lexington
county have not been getting the
Dispatch because they have failed to
pay up their dues. No one has any
right whatever to blame you for not
sending the paper when they will not
pay for it, and no honest man will
blame you 1t is very bad idea
for those persons not to receive the
county paper. Every true citizen
should patronize his county paper.
As a general rule our people do not
take enough interest in newspapers,
and the Lexington Dispatch 6fty.two
times year is we'll worth one dollar
to those who read it. I hope to see
in the near future it's circulation very
much increased.
Much success to the Dispatch and
it's many dear readers I am,

There are more suicides in Ber-

European city, and the figures

gives two reasons for Berlin's un,
enviable distinction-the German

for the strenuous life which the

misfortune in business or love af
fects the Germans more than any
other nationality; the second rea-
son is the spread of intemperance.

Willing to obIlas.

A farmer in the neighborhood of
Lanark lately took unto himself as
his better half young damsel who
otticiated as his kitchen maid. The
newly made mistress was no sooner
installed in her new position than
she began to give herself the airs of
a duchess, and naturally the other
servants about the farm resented
this and sometimes treated her with
scant courtesy.
A week or two after the marriage
the farmer betook himself to a
neighboring fair for the purpose of
hiring another kitchen maid, his
wife strictly enjoining him to get
"ceevil spoken hizzie." On meeting
with one whom he thought would
be suitable for the post he engaged
her, after expressly stipulating that
she was TO be "rale ceeyil to the
guild wife"

were using the silo as an adjunct to

The Mexican Central railroad has
begun to sprinkle II portion of its road
bed with oil. which. it is expected, will
protect the track and roadbed from the
rains during the rainy season and keep
down the dust during the dry season

percentage OF usphaltum found in the
oil used will act rs a preservative on
both rails and ties.
