Since the subject of cement streets
is one of local interest the Monitor
copies the following from the Brad
ford Opinion: estate Engineer H.
M. Mcintosh was in town Tuesday to
examine the cement street, which
was put in last fall. He found it ex-
cellent and it met with his approval.
He is of the opinion that it will out
wear the other types of road work
and in the end will prove the cheapest
for the village. He says that cement
costs more to install but less to main
tain. Those who have had occasion to
use the street with heavy teams dur
ing these spring days have seen the
difference between the old system of
patching up and the new one of build
ing permanent roads. We have a
square" of which we may be proud /"

Of fruits ripening. The May haws
are ripe; blackberries are loaded,
plums are ripe and the fig and peach

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, that has real
curative value almost sells itself.
Like and endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been benefited to those who
are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is A ply
sician's prescription. 1t has been test
ed for years and has brought re
suits to countless numbers who have
suffered
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfills
almost every wish in overcoming kid
ney, liver and bladder diseases, cor
reefs urinary troubles and neutralizes
the uric acid which causes rheuma-
tism.
Do not suffer. Get a bottle of
Swamp Root from any druggist now.
Start treatment today.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DT. Kjlmer & Co., Binghampton

writing be sure and mention the Pen

FARMING NEEDS
OPERATING CAPITAL

The following is an extract from
a letter sent out by the secretary of
the Pensacola Fruit Growers Associa-
ton to over 100 members:
There is one thing that all agree
upon who have spent a considerable
time in this district and I believe
it cannot be impressed on the mem
bers of this association too wildly,
and that is, that no one should move
onto their place unless it is fully paid
for, and after all necessary equip
ment and buildings are paid for, he
should have about 81 900 in the bank.
l do not mean to say that failure
is sure to come if this general plan
is not followed, but it would take a
lot of hard work as we'll as good man
agement to insure any degree of sue
cess, whereas if the plan suggested
is followed, the chances for failure
are reduced to a minimum.
If we can stay here and have our
places taken care of in a satisfactory
manner until the trees are producing,
this will again give US a distinct adj
vantage.
In general all reports are very
favorable up. to the present time.
