WHY so WEAK 2
Kideny Troubles May be Sapping Your
Life Away. Laurens People have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman begins
to run down with apparent cause, be-
comes weak, languid depressed, suffers
backache, headache, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the kidneys
we'll and they will make you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep
them well. Here is Laurens testimony
to prove it.
w. G.. Eichelberger, of the City Trans
fer Co., residing at $40 Chestnut Street,
says: 81 have used Doan's Kidney Pills
for backache and kidney complaint and
they benefited me greatly. My back
caused me considerable misery and has
given way with me several times, COM
polling me to lay off work. A man
without a sound back is not much good
at my work as it requiredheavy lifting.
There was a dull heavy pain and weak
ness across my loins and whenever l
caught cold it caught me in my back
and knocked me out as effectively as
though / had been hit with a club. The
secretions from the kidneys caused me
great inconvenience by disturbing my
rest at night and were irregular in APP
pearance and contained brick dust sedi-
ments. used numerous remedies but
nothing had any good effect until read
about Doan's Kidneys Pills in our papers
and procured a box at the Palmetto
Drug Co.'S store. After using them
the kidney secretions cleared up and be-
came natural and the backache disap-
qeared." For sale by all dealers.

WHEN JOE LldoN RESIGNED.
The Unique Report of n Confederate
Commlssary OF L.aurens County.

~OOinmiSsafy OF LaufenS Couuty.
(From Trotwood's Monthly
TOWARDS the close of the war the
patriots of the South were called on to
pay a tax in kind, or a tenth Of all the
land had yielded. This was one way of
feeding g famished army. These stores
were collected at and dispensed from
designated points in each county.
AT a little railroad station in Lau-
rens county, Capt. Davis had detained
a trusted friend, Joe Ligon, to act as
receiving and disbursing officer. For
NAL orders from the proper authorities
were required to secure the provisions,
but always of a kindly nature, Joe
Lyon could never refuse a ragged,
hungry fellow soldier, order or no or
der. These were passing daily, so the
scanty hoard was o gone.
AS the time for rendering his report
of "stores on hand'' drew near, he re-
allied that by ever so charitable a
construction his stewardship could not
fail to fall in the class known as "un-
profitable" so he took time by the
forelock and addressed the following
unique official communication to his SUI
perior:
Martins Depot, S. c., -, 1866.
My Dear Captain: Pursuant to your
instructions I have stayed by the stuff
here until the returning soldiers have
euchred me out of every damn thing in
sight except the boards on the commits
sary.

in disgrace and disgust. BY the time
this reaches you your former commits
sary officer will be in full retreat upon
the peaceful village of Cross Hill, S.,
