So, don't neglect your stomach.
Don't become chronic dyspeptic.
Keep your stomach healthy and
strong by taking a little Kodol.,
You don't have to take Kodol all
the time. You only take it when
you need it.
Kodol is perfectly harmless.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

It is in politics where the country
editor plays the most important part
of his career. Country weeklies are
seldom independent and most always
radically partisan. The small coun-
try papers have greater hold on the
people, stand for more individuality
and principle and are more powerful
in proportion than any daily paper,
also they dare say more vitriolic things
about rival candidates and contempo-
rary sheets. Therefore the country
editor is nearly always the foremost
political figure in the community.
First he gets to be president of the
village mainly because nobody else
wants it. This exalted position, of so
much respectaoility and responsibility,
carries no cash salary, but the amount
of work, curses and fault finding the
head Of the corporation receives is Sec
opd only to that Of the president of
the United States. He has to watch
the construction Of walks, roads and
bridges by day and attend board meet
ings by night. One of the most pleas
ant features of this Office is that it
gives the editor the power to per-
form the marriage ceremony and thus
makes him of double value to the COM
munity in being legally authorized to
unite the living as well as morally
responsible that the dead are buried
with solemn and impressive rites.-

Magazine.

Tribute Of Respect.

Whereas, in the wise providence of
our Heavenly Father, He hath seen
fit to take from US our beloved friend
and sister, Mrs. Emanuel NJ. Taylor;
therefore, be it resolved,
First, That though we sadly miss her
presence. we bow in humble submis-
sion to the will of our God, who doeth
all things well.
Second, That her example, her long
suffering: her tender. loving care for
her children and all around her, may
enable US to live close to the God
whom she loved and worshipped.
Third, That the community has
lost one of its noble women, Boiling
Springs church and Sunday school a
faithful member.
Fourth, That we tender our deepest
sympathy to the bereaved husband,
children and entire family of the de-
ceased, assuring them of our prayers
to Goo, in their behalf.
She is gone, but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade:
Loving thoughts will ever linger,
Round the grave where she is
laid.
She has crossed the cold, dark river,
Angels hold her by the hand;
She is safe from storms forever,
Safe within the promised land.
Yes, we know she's gone forever,
With the blessed redeemed to dwell;
But, how hard it is to sever
Hearts that ever loved so well!
Yet, again we hope to meet her,
When the day of life is fled:
Then in Heaven with JOY greet her,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Fifth, That copy of these resc-
lutions be sent to the Lexington Dis
patch for publication.

ago my father suffered from kidney and
bladder trouble and several physicians
pronounced it enlargement of the pros
tate gland and advised an operation.
On account of his age we were afraid
he could not stand it and I recommend

troubled with this complaint" Sold by
