A number Of farmers tributary tC
Mineral Point have become very active
in the promotion Of the market day and
are lending their support to make it d
success, realizing that it's future success
means much to them.

all stock listed at the earliest date posi-
bic so it may be properly advertised and
let the buyers know what is to be offered

A Pleasant Highland Drive

The city of Mineral Point has lately
macadamized the old Galena road from
Oak street all the way south to the city
limits; and the road district in the
township turnpiked the road with a
grader from Henry Quick farm south
to the brow of Schaaf' hill The use of
the road drag has also improved the in
tervening portion of the road. While
the country in and around Mineral
Point is hilly, this ridge road is com
paratively level from the Schaaf hill on
the southwest to Plum grove on the
northeast. The whole runs on high
land, averaging about 1900 feet above
sea level, for the entire distance Of
above seven miles. 1t is to be hoped
that the road north Of town will also be
improved. If it were graded up and
the road drag worked over it occasion
ally, it would be a joy to travel over it,
and great loads could be hauled over it
with ease

Healthy Kidneys Necessary

A good many people suffer with
backache every morning. They
think they have lain in cramp-
cd position or caught cold. More than
likely it's due to their kidneys 1t may
not be serious at all, except as it tends
TO become chonic-then SERIOUS.
The best thing to do is to take some
good kidney medicine such for instance
as Nyals Kidney Pills. They are the
best kidney pills we have ever had.
They benefit the kidneys, help them
cleanse the blood current from poison
Gus uric acid and do away with the
backache quickly.
Nyals Stone Root Compound is good
too if you prefer liquid medicine.
Come toNour store whenever you want
anythink in drugs. We will give you
good treatment.

PROPERTY DAMAGE IS IMMENSE

Memphis, Tenn.-With the known
death list already reaching a total OF
81 lives and with IL others reported
dead, with scores seriously injured
and many others painfully bruised
and with the property damage run
ming to a million or more dollars, the
havoc and destruction Of the storm
which swent middle and west Ten
nessee, Alabama, Georgia and por-
tions Of Arkansas and South Carolina,
grows hourly as reports are receiver
from remote points and as wire COM
munication is gradually resumed.
The storm was the worst and most
widespread that has visited this sec
ton of the south in years. Halves OF
counties were laid in waste and ruin.
Towns were destroyed, plantations
were greatly damaged and from uli
sections of the storm-swept area come
reports of loss of life, ruin and desc
lation.
The appointments Of known dead
follows:
Denmark, Tenn, 1; Mulberry, Tenn,
4; Pittsburg Landing, Tenn, z; near
stanlearville, s; Near Cartersville,
Ca. 1; seottsboro. Ala, 8; Wyeth
Cove, Ala. 8; Stanton, Tenn, Il;
Nixon, Tenn, 8; near Marmaduke,
Ark, /. Total, 81.
Battle Field Laid Waste.
While only one death occurred at
Denmark, Tenn, the situation grows
greatly aggravated by fire, which con-
sumed the few dwellings and store
houses left standing by the storm.
Two hundred people, rendered
homeless, have appealed to neighbor-
ing towns and cities for aid.
Reports of five deaths and heavy
damage come from McNairy county,
where is located the famous battle
field OF Shiloh, and which Is directly
In the path of the storm. Homes and
stores were leveled to the ground and
great trees in the historic national
cemetery we're uprooted. Many hand
some statues in the National park
were torn from their pedestals and
tn property damage is estimated at
100000.
At Russellville, Ala, 1t is reported
that forty were seriously injured.
Approximately damage of at least
$4,000 is estimated at Gainesville,
Ca, while that at Atlanta will run
between $4,000 and 100000. One
life was lost at the former place and
at Atlanta hardly a house escaped
damage.

made of good tobacco is the ideal
