 Our Sunday School here is progressing very nicely, with good attendance and extra good behavior, which we are very glad to report.
 Was glad to hear from the old Smashup scribe once more, but we would like to suggest that if they would leave off their fan dangoes and put their spare time into their Sunday School work, they would have a Sunday School that would rot need pres.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY F0F YOUNG LADIES AND
 YOUNG MEN

The demand for telegraph op- orators was never so great as at the present time. The govern ment demand has taken large numbers of operators out of their former places. Railroads are sending men olt to get more op- orators. and are offering special inducements to commercial students. Several different Rail
 way Companies have offered to place every graduate Tyler Com mercial College can furnish, in fact they tried to get our prom ise to let them place every grad uate on their lines. The largest telegraph school in America equipped with wire of a main line railroad, all telegraph and freight blanks and books of rec ord, tickets and in fact every thing just as complete as found Tn the best equipped railroad of fees, the best practical teachers to be obtained. thoroughly eX- Derienced in commercial and railway stelegraphy, station and freight work-the Tyler Com mercial College, of Tyler, Texas, is unable to supply the demands of the railroads, Western Union and Postal telegraph companies for operators. Just received a message from leading railway company reading: "Can you furnish us with all the operators we need, We furnishing them with free transportation over our line from nearest points?" Just as surely as you complete our course of telegraphy and sta tion work. just so surely will we place you in good position. The same is true where our course of Bookkeeping. Shorthand, Cotton Chasing or Business Admins tration and Finance is completed.
 Write for free catalogue. Our telegraph students are on all the leading Southwestern roads, and in Western Union and Postal Tel egraph offices. Our graduates of other departments are holding high positions in the commercial world With our help you can be a big success. Tyler Con- mercial College, Tyler, Texas.

 As onn weak link weakens chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down.
 Overwork, strains. colds and other causes injure the kidneys. and general ly when their activity is lessened, the whole body suffers
 Aches and pains and languar and bladder ills frequently come, and there is an ever-increasing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys.
 No need to take the statement of someone living far away as evidence.
 Here Is case right is this locality.
 Mrs. P. L. Myers, 3l9 S. Elm St., Hope, Ark. says: ''I often had dull, stead ache in the small of m back, It was hard for me to stoop and 1 felt stiff and lame Tn the morning. Doan s Kidney Pills was recommended to me by a neighbor and on using them, found fine results. They relieved the backache in short time and my back hardly ever bothers me now.
