there was a lot of enthusiasm
especially with the laddies and

The natural scenery over here
is something worth seeing and
the weather is fine. Yesterday
the thermometer read 40 degrees

People With Stomach, Kidney

Acid Iron Mineral (non-alcoho-

great deposit found upon a poor
farmers place near Hickory,
Mississippi and the story of this
great gift of natures which
made the farmer rich and the
medical world richer, and makes
it possible for people to quickly
treat stomach, digestion, kidney,
blood and rheumatic complaints
at home, makes interesting redd-
ing.
An old man while digging a
mill race on the Horn Farm, ran
across it. He>was afflicted with
an old fever sore and blood trou-
bles which were considered in
durable. During the several
weeks digging his feet and legs
were wet each day as water
gathered and he noticed that this
water turned a reddish color
caused By mixing of water with
the vein of peculiar looking min
eral, almost like powder, which
had apparently laid for centuries
encased in a marble like casin
of rock and clay.
The sore on his leg began to
heal and by the time his work
was completed his leg was sound
and we'll. This was considered
so very remarkable by the people
of that section that an
investigation was m a d {

WITHOUT X PURPOSE.

On bleak deserted hillside
 With wild vines overgrown, Far from the travelled roadside,
 A cabin stands alone. Here Natures sounds are blended.
 And the travellers rarely come, And the human ties are ended
 That made this place home. Above the hut a sheltered noox,
 And gnarled old apple tree; Below the hut murmuring brook
 That waters a sun kissed lea. 'Tis scene of desolation,
 'Twould fill ones soul with hush; Be the Poets inspiration,
 And speed on the Artists brush. Yet a sadder scene is near us,
 As we view the ways of strife; 'Tis the man without purpose
 On the broad highway of life. He who fails to see the beauty
 In the work of gath'ring sheaves 'Tis the man who knows no duty.
 But is idly gath'ring leaves.
