G. A. Geiger, Depot st., Lexington.

suffered from dull pains across the
small of my back and as they did not
disappear, l came to the conclusion
that my kidneys were disordered. At
night after lying down my back pain
ed me intensely and I also noticed an
irreguiarity in the passages of the

Kodol supplies the same digestive
Juices that are found in healthy
stomach. Being liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthlui
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount Of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But. this food must be digcsted
thoroughly, otherwise the pains Of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do it's
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. KoGcl is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in a naGural way.

Mrs. J. ?. Farmer Sues
W. Hampton Sellers.

The State, 29:h.
\ cause in court without a parallel
in the history of this county and with
few if any like it in the history Of the
courts of the State. will be heard at
the ensuing term of court, Judge J. @.
Kiu2h, presiding. Mrs. J. P. Farmer
is suing the slayer of her husband for
25,00o damages.
On the 22nd OF February last year,
Mrs. Farmer was made a widow by
the bullet of ". Fl. Sellers. Farmer
was dispensary constable searching
the house in which Sellers was living.
The constable was shot down as he
was breaking open the door of the
house. He had exhibited a search
warrant through a window, but Sell
lers would not let him come in with
out condition. Mrs. Farmer is now
bringing suit for $4,000.
There is one similar case in the an
nalS OF Lne courts or tnlS state. In
January, 1896, JAS. F. Williams Of
Georgia, was killed at Blacksburg, S.
c., and subsequently NJ. R. Reese and
D. F. Luckie were convicted of mur-
der. They escaped from Jail and, un-
less dead, are even now fugitives from
justice. Mrs. Williams brought suit
against the estate of M. R. Reese, and
the records of the supreme court do
not show that the case ever came up
to this court, but Columbia attorney
stated yesterday that Mrs. Williams
got some kind of settlement from
the estate of her husbands slayer.

Gxmption en- the Farm.

The man behind the hoe is more i'm
portant than the man behind the GIN.
1t is the farmer that keeps things
stirred up that raises the biggest crops.
Very fine flower seeds can be easily
and evenly sown by the use of dredge
box
It's a sign of hard year for the fam
ily when the wife carries the stove and
the'husband the pipe.
Some men marry a girl because she
is great talker. Better get talking
machine; you can stop it when you get
tired.
Dent leave an ak sticking where
some one will fall Oh it, orstick scythes,
katchets o. tools overhead to fall and
hurt some one.
Plant trees, plant flowers, plant
roses, plant smiles good deeds every
day, and above all plant the feet in
the way of right doing.
Farmers, do not be discouraged by
failure, the sunshine is on our side.
We are promised seed-time and har-
vest while the world remaineth.
Keep the rounds Of the ladder all
good and stout. When you geJ to
trimming fruit trees or hunting worms
nests you don't want to fall and break
leg. Things that snap under you
often take the snap out Of you.
If you want to know just how good
farmer a man is, 60 way back on his
place where few eyes ever rest and see
how things are going on there. If
everything is neat and shipshape there,
you may depend upon it that the man
is a good farmer.
The best investment farmers can
make is in giving children good start
in life. But that doesn't mean a big
farm and fine money-outfit alone.
They will need some help, some cour-
age, some hopefulness, much truthful
ness, clean hearts and pure minds con-
si6erably more than money.
Here is the most approved method of
treating seed potatoes to prevent a
scabby crop: Soak the whole seed for
two hours in mixture of one-half
pint of formalin (often called formal
dehyde) and fifteen gallons of cold
water; dry the seed, cut, and plant in
ground that has not recently grown
potatoes.
Bad roads and scrubby stock 60 to-
gether. The farmers who set out to
have better stock set out at the same
time to have better roads, better crops.
and more improvements and conven-
fences on the farm. And in neigh
hood where there are good roads, i'm
proved stock and farms, we find de-
velopment of intellect and fuller,
better appreciation of life.
Tarring corn: In coating seed-corn
With coal-tar as protection against
crows and blackbirds, put the grain
into pail and pour on enough warm
warm water to cover it. Add q tea
spoonful of tar to peck, and stir we'll.
Throw the corn out on a sieve or in
basket to drain, and then stir in few
handfuls of land plaster (gypsum). Do
not pour the tar on the dry seed.-

Keeps Him a Moving.

There was a man in Maryville
Who liked to take drink,
And when the township voted dry
His mood was black as ink.
He sold his home, packed his stuff,
Paid up his every debt,
And moved away to Perryville,
Because that town was wet.
His second month in Perryville-'
They also voted there
And when the drys won out again,
He fairly pulled his hair.
"It's liberty or move," he said,
And tore his pantaloons
A-moving off to Ferryville,
With seventeen saloons.
But Ferryville went dry the week
He moved into the town,
And hastily he left, although
He paid a months rent down.
He drove away to Garyvil!e
And picked him out shack,
But Garyville went dry
Before he could unpack.
And now he wanders through the
South,
A nomad on the earth,
And none suspects his family
Is not of gypsy birth.
He finds hamlet now and then
Where sentiment is right,
But his experience has been:
It's not worth while to light.
Exchange.

Memorial Day really marks the season Of serge salts, stray hats, and other summery apparel for men, and so it behooves mankind to get wis dom concerning serge, the tricky fabric. Tailors will tell you that serge is the trickiest fabric there is to tailor. It cuts up all kinds of didoes, and unless a tailor is ac- quainted with all the iiiosyncrasie: If serges, he is certain to score a fail ure in any garments he attempts to construct out of this material. On the othe, hand, 3 tailor skilled III nardling serge can take good piece of the fabric and turn out as fine a suit as any man could desire. It's all in the knowing how. A properly tailored serge suit is a joy to its possessor. It always looks well, re- tains it's share, is cool and dressy. and il wears like iron. Such are the serge suits now being shown by Meigs & Co.-properlv tailored and made O. strictly reliable serge If you plan to enjoy a serge suit this you can make sure of it be- ing right in every way, if you seek it at Meigs & Co.,, Main Street and Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport. i5very- thing that goes with serge suit is now being shown at this famous store, and the outtit necessary for Memorial Day can be purchased there without loss of time or unnecessary expense.
