DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dan
gerOus for Hartford People
to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they may get firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health is gradually under
mined. Backache, headache, ner-
vousness, lameness, soreness, lum-
bago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Sright's disease are
likely to follow in merciless success
sion. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Help the kidneys. Try the reliable
and safe remedy, Doan's Kidney
Pills, which has won a reputation
right here in this locality.
Mrs. A. Baur, 1877 Mulberry St.,
owensboro, KY, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and have found
them to be unequaled for kidney
trouble and lame back. This rene
dy corrected the difficulty with the

depressing headaches. sleep much

fhASsACRES OF
\ INDIANS TOLD
These Days Makes Rather
Strange Reading.
! THE RED MAN IN KENTUCKY
Pursued a Bloody War on the
WhiteS-SO Some Notable
Instances.
HORRIBLE TALES OF LONG AGO

In 1882 Indian massacres in Ken
lucky we're numerous. About the
first OF September of the above
named year the savages made their
appearance on Salt river and Col.
Floyd went out at the head of. a
good force in quest of them. After
scouting several days without find
ing the savages, the party disband-
ed, the members retiring to the sew
eral stations from which they were
drawn, believing the enemy had left
the country.
Among others, Kincheloe Station,
which was situated in Spencer, near
the Nelson line, had contributed to
the scouting party. During the alb
sence of the men, the women alone
kept watch, without noticing any
indication of an enemy. On return
ing from the fruitless scout, the
men. worn out by their arduous du-
ty and confident that all danger had
passed, went to bed without taking
any special precautions against a
surprise by savages. Unfortunate
ly the Indians had only eluded
lthe whites, and knowing the weak
endition of their station, made a
simultaneous attack upon the cab
ins, when the occupants were wrapt
in deep slumber. Bursting open the
doors, the savages commenced an
indiscriminate slaughter of men,
women and children, and almost
before the victims realized the ma
ture of their danger, the whole set
tlement was still in death. A few
women and children were taken
prisoners, only to be brutally mur-
dered on their journey to captivi-
ty. A few others escaped in the
darkness and reached other sta
tions.
One of the settlers received the
alarm early enough to place his
wife and a young woman of the
family under the cabin floor, and
escaped in the darkness. Remain
ing in the neighborhood until as
sured of the departure of the saw
ages, he returned to his cabin, re-
lieved his wife and companion and
conducted them in safety to another
station. Another settler named
Thomas Randolph occupied a small
cabin with his wife and two chill
dren, one an infant, and bravely
stood at bay, and fought tho saw
ages who had forced his cabin door,
though outnumbered FIVE to one.
He had succeeded in killing several
of his assailants, when. seeing his
wife with the babe in her arms
cruelty murdered, he instantly
caught the child in his arms and
mounted TO the loft and thus es-
capped through the roof. On alight-
ingNupon the ground, he was assail-
ed by two savages whom he had
driven out of his cabin. Wounding
one with his knife, he prostrated
the other with a blow from his emp
ty gun, and snatching up his child,

A Timely Warning.

President Charles S. Barrett Of
the Farmers Union, has issued an ad-
dress to the farmers Of the South
warning them Of the meance Of the
boil weevil and urging them to pre-
pare for its inevitable coming.
The warning is timely.
In sections not yet reached by the
plague farmers are giving it very
little consideration. 1t seems like
borrowing trouble from the future.
But such is far from being the case.
Intelligent preparation is the only
thing that can prevent great and in
many cases irreparable loss to the
cotton-growing districts. The South's
supremacy as the cotton-rasing re-
gion Of the world depends upon it.
Wherever the weevil invades the
cotton fields, it necessitates a new
system Of cultivation. old methods
are rendered utterly useless. 1t is
none too early now to begin to learn
the new ones
THE one provel hope, as demon.
started in Texas and other Infested
States" says President Barrett, "is
in the use of such early maturing va
rieties of cotton as will enable the
staple to be harvested before the
weevil has reached its maximum DOW
er Of destruction.
perhaps the most practical meth
Cd lies in combining the use Of early
maturing cottol and intensive culti-
vation with the giving over of a large
acreage to such crops as are immune
from the weevil. Fortunately the
range of Southern soil and climate
make comparatively easy these sweep
INF readJustments in our agricultural
system. Corn, wheat, oats, vegetable
truck, fruit, forage crops and as in
the case Of Louisiana, the ordinary
peanut, all offer auxiliary means for
fighting the wecvil."
held last year, was the means Of wide
ly disseminating information about
the boil weevil., its destructiveness
and methods of fighting it.
1t stirred the entire South.
But because this danger is not
pressing it is likely to be forgotten
and preparation put off too late.
President Barretts warning serves.
1t should not go unheeded. Atlanta
