OH! MY BACK! The Expression of Many Kidney
 Sufferer in Stafford Springs.


 Sufferer in Stafford Springs.
 A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are infiamed and swollen, stepping brings sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys-relieve aching backs. Here's Stafford Springs proof:
 Mrs. M H. Converse, E. Main St., Stafford Springs, says: For long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of ever getting relief. To my surprise and delight. Doan's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as I began taking them and soon made me feel like a different person. Another of our family suffered for a long time from kidney trouble. This complaint caused loss of rest. Nothing brought relief until Doan's g Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton Drug Store. The pain and lameness were removed and the other symptoms of kidney trouble left.
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Converse had. Foster Milburn Co.. Props. Buffalo, N. Y.

Strawberry Fumes.

It seems difficult to believe there can be any connection between strawber- ries and poison gases, but the associa tion exists. The steamships that bring fruit from Brittany to Plymouth re- fuse to carry passengers when convey ing a cargo of strawberries because of the intoxicating fumes given off by the berries when packed in bulk. Even the seamen have orders to keep on deck as much as possible. AS straw berries, even tons of them. give off no very pungent smell. the theory has been advanced that the intoxicating effect of a cargo of the fruit is due to the fermentation of the sugar in the berries.--LOndOn Globe.

The green at the hilltop is sur

The green at the hilltop is sur rounded by group of homes that any town might we'll be proud of. Al one approaches the hilltop circle from the west on the fiat opposite the ceme tery the farm known as Kenjockety, is owned and carried on by veteran of the Civil war, a man of large heart, friend to man and animals.
 Near the entrance to the circle 8 bungalow is being built for occupancy by one whose name is like that of 8 precious stone.
 Next is a home occupied by 8 brother and sister; they are named like one of our popular birds. In the circle proper we now come to the home of one who has rare gifts and pleasing personality, many will remember Willintgon pleasantly on account of the cordial greetings and smile of this dear woman.
 Our vision next shows the home of man with kindly spirit. and he is surrounded by the kind of a family who makes the world brighter by their having part in it.
 The next home shelters a couple who are we'll liked by old and young the whole town through. The pastor of the federated church is the right man in the right place.
 The home next in the circle is one where an aged saint lives. In her years of strength she cared for those who needed her love, and now they are trying to make smooth the path she treads.
 Next we come to where mother and daughter keep the latch string out, and friend and kindred know the full meaning of the word welcome.
 The couple who occupy the corner home are of no mean ability, they are alive to the present and future needs and possibilities of the country Some day the name though common will be we'll remembered as belonging to man of thrift and success.
 We defect little and add two or three to the group who are loyal and true.
 Another defiection and we find fami- lies of superior grade. Back to the circle we easily swing and come to a couple and one has taught the whole town to sing.
 Next in the circle is a home re- gently made. It brightens the Hill top. Her efforts have paid.
 The next home is open to those in need of three good meals a day, or a deed. :. The last home in the circle toward the west, is home of two maidens, with zeal for the best. Their eyes have the future in sensible view, they have noted that in the circles babes were too few. With the dare in their hearts and u pity for others, they have adopted a baby and are proving good mothers. s. A. Gardner, Aug ust 1915.
 This unique effusion is decidedly like Walt Whitman, the good gray poet, who is still admired and loved, and who has few imitators.

This famous remedy, the medicinal

forty years proved to be most valua-
bic tonic and invigorator of the fe-

bear willing testimony to the wonderful

The tax rate now is $1.30, Of which
20 cents is used for public roads, to-
gether with the work of the road hands
OF the county. After macadamized
roads are built this fund should all be-
used to improve the other roads Of the
county, and with this all the other roads
could be made as good as the best roads
are now.
1t has been said that the building OF
this system OF roads would bankrupt
the county. As shown above, this is
not true. On the contrary, it would be
the greatest financial blessing that could
come to us at this time. If we could
start buslding this system OF reads this
fall after crops are laid by it would be
the means OF putting in circulation in
the county among the people who need
1T most large sum of money for haul
ing and labor of the kinds required for
building roads, and the amount Of this
money SO put in circulation would be
equal to the profits from bumper crop.
| have said it before and | say it again,
the building of this system of roads
would dispel the gloom caused by crop
failure, drouth and war. Prosperity
would be in the land; fresh flow Of
would come to Obion
County; property would increase in
value; no home seeker would pass Obion
County by who could find home here
to purchase; Obion County would con-
tinue to be the finest and richest county
IN the State and perhaps in the nation.

From year to year the road contractor

Children build play houses, and when
they have built them they knock them

travel over and incidentally to travel
over ourselves while we are yet in the
land OF the living.
The objection that the debt could
never be paid at first seemed to be a
strong one, but when it is considered
in the light of past events and what
will likely occur in the future, it will be
seen that this debt can be easily paid.
The past events referred to is the in
crease in the value of the property in
the last thirty years, and what will
likely occur in the future is that the
property in Obion County will continue
to increase in value for the next thirty
years in the same proportion or perhaps
more rapidly than it has in the past.
Just how these matters will affect the
paying off of the bonds will be seen
from the following statement:
To begin with, / will say that, of
course, a special road tax sufficient to
pay for the upkeep of the roads and to
pay interest on the bonds will have to
be levied. The present assessed value
Of all the property in the county being
approximately $12,000,OO0, a special
lax OF 40 cents on the hundred dollars
worth of all the property would pay the
interest and upkeep for the first few
years, and after the first few years it
would more than pay the interest and
lpkeep and the surplus could be saved
md put into sinking fund for the pur-
,ose of retiring the bonds when they
all due.
The interest ON $500, 600 at 5 per cent
would amount to $4,000 per annum

interest, said $4,000 to be used for the
