Nearly all of these peaches were

Clate THIS.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They help sick kidneys.
They are for backach, other kidney
ills.
Here is Marion evidence to prove
their worth.
Mrs. Emma Weldon, Salem street,
Marion, KY, says: Kidney trouble
annoyed me for five years and greatly
affected my health. My back was
lame and panied me most of the time.
I had headaches and often could hardly
see. None of the remedies I tried
gave me any benefit until I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Haynes & Tay-
lor's drug store. The effect of this
remedy was marvellous, as in two
months l was free from kidney trouble.
My only regret is that did not hear
of Doan's Kidney Pills sooner, as they
would have spared me much expense
and misery"

Time to Kill 'Em-To-day.

1t may not be generally known,
but nevertheless it is a fact,
there is a certain time in each
year when trees, shrubs and
many weeds can be killed with
very little effort on the part of
the farmer. Perhaps it may be
a condition of the sap at this
particular period which renders
external interference so fatal to
them, and perhaps it may be
something of a chemical nature.

You max not know his name.
And YOU may not know his face,
But go to him just the same,
He's stranger in the place,
Go and stretch your hand to him,
Have a cheerful word to say;
For His struggle may he grim,
And twill help him on his way.
There's no need to ask him what
Is his claim upon your SMILE
Has he ancestry or not
That VIII make him worth your while.
What me done or hopes to do.
Is he famous or unknown"
Speak a cheerful word or two.
Make him feel he's not alone.
To be strange Is not a crime
To be lonely no disgrace
You Yourself may yearu sometime
To behold one smiling face.
You may some day stand alone
And know what it is to sigh.
When with strangers You are thrown.
And you see them hurry by.
We're too formal Let us go
To the stranger who is near,
And q friendly feeling show,
Let US speak a word of cheer
Let us stretch a kindly hand
To the brother WHO'S unknown,
We can make him understand
That he doesn't dwell alone.
