Why IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It's For One Thing
Only, And Hopkinsville
People Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for every
thing. Doing one thing we'll brings
success. Doan's Kidney Pills do one
thing only. They cure sick kidneys.
They cure sbackache, every kidney
! i'll. Here is Hopkinsville evidence to
prove it.
Mrs. w. G. Davis, S29 West Seven
tn ST., Hopkinsville, KY, says: "Mr.
Davis has never had an occasion to
use Doan's Kidney Pills or any other
kidney medicine since 1903. For
years prior to that time he had been
an almost constant sufferer from
kidney trouble. He had intense
pains in his back and shoulders that
annoyed him all day and prevented
him from sleeping during the night.
The relief he obtained from Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Trahern's,
now L. A. Johnson & Co.'s drug
store was surprising and gratifying.
They seemed to act. differently than
anything he had ever tried and the
fact that:he has'never had a recur-
renee of the trouble since gives him
the highest opinion of Doan's Kid
ney Pills"

Rammed by a Shark.

The strangest shark story which
ever came to the writer's ears was Of
a shark that charged a steamer. This
was in Queen Charlottes sound. and
an account Of the incident appeared in
a Vancouver paper. The captain Of
the steamer, which was a small craft
of only fifty tons or so, saw the shark
on the surface on the port bow and
could not resist the temptation of tax
ing a shot at it with his rife. He hit
his mark, whereupon the monster. said
to have been fully twenty feet in
length, deliberately charged the steam
err The boat quivered from stem to
stern, and the captain said afterward
that it was like striking a rock. After
this display Of temper Master Shark
had had enough Of it and sank out Of
sight,. G. Bridges in ChamberS

Did He Mean TO Be FunnvY

The editor Of a newspaper whose
policy it is TO print many letters from
correspondents in neighboring towns
recently received such a communities
ton from his representative in one
place as to which he was not quite
sure. He could not decide whether
the correspondent was unconsciouSly
humorous or whether he was endeav-
oring to comply with the standing in
structions Of the paper to always be
on the lookout for any little touch Of
humor that may brighten up our col
umns.' The item read as follows;

May Crop Report.

Much rain has fallen during the
month, causing much damage in
many sections of the state.
Wheat is generally in very poor
condition for the time of the year
but with good growing weather we
may expect fairly good crop.
Hemp looks we'll and promises a
large crop. Some large growers
are planting a larger crop than ever
before.
Fruit has been damaged in some
localities, especially peaches, plums
and cherries, but there is a good
prospect for large crop Of apples
and grapes.
The prospect for the oat crop is
better than at this time last year.
An unusually large crop of tobac-
co is promised exceeding almost all
records, especially is this so in re-
gard to the Burley Tobacco. About
an average crop of dark tobacco will
be planted. Tobacco plants are not
as far advanced as they should be
on account of so much cool weather.
Live stock are in fairly good con-
dition, and a decrease Of cattle and
hogs are shown on account of high
prices of feed. An increase of sheep
is shown in many counties of the
State.
A large corn crop will be planted,
due in large measure to the far
mers using pure breed seed corn.
There is a small acreage Of rye
and barley grown in the State and
both are looking fairly good.
Clover is in poor condition. Alfal-
ia looks well and the acreage is. be-
ing increased through the entire
State.
