Church Home Pilgrimage.

The annual Pilgrimage to the Church
Home Orphanage, which was starteo
with a very successful first meeting
last Nav by the Episcopalians over the
state, will take place on Sunday, April
23rd. Both Bishop Guerry of the old
Diocese and Bishop Finlay OF the new
Diocese, the division to become opera 4
tive next year, will be present, and
religious services will be conducted on
the Orphanage grounds in the open by
the two bishops, assisted by the KeV
Mr.. Walsh, and other ministers that
may be present
This community Is cordially invited
TO attend these services and the other
denominations will be invited to parti-
cpate. A large delegation is expected
especially from Columbia and north,
where the trip can be made in auto
mobiles.
The cooperation of our citizens is
desired that the town make the best
show possible by having the yards and
streets clean, and making themselves
hosts to the visitors and making them
feel welcome and at home.
1t is understood that the visitors
bring their lunch and with the assist
ance of citizens it will be served on
the Orphanage green.
The success Of the Pilgrimage de-
pends largely upon our having pretty
weather, and the purpose is TO bring
TO the attention of the people generally
the work chat is being done and the
needs of the Orphanagc.
The visitors were estimated at some
thing like five hundred last year, and
from what we can learn the attend
ancc will be much larger this year.
1t is unfortunate that the day ap-
pointed follows Immediately after
Palmafesta week in Columbia, and
doubtless many will be kept away hav-
ing just made the trip to Columbia
the week before. This was overlook
ed. however, in appointing the day
until too late to change In the future
the Pilgrimage Day will be held on
Mothers Day, which is the second Sun
day in May. At that time the weather
is more settled, the days longer, and
the vegetation in our little city further
advanced and more beautiful.

No Other Company Would
Have Paid One Cent.

IN DECEMBER, 1920, the Mutual
Benefit Insurance Co., issued $4,000 Of
insurance On the Life Accelerative
Endowment plan to Utah farmer. He
was 36 years old and a perfect physical
specimen, close to six feet tall, with q
family record that any applicant would
envy. The mans wife was named as
the beneficiary, An annual premium of
$5434 was prepaid. The second pre-
MUM WAS NOT PAID WHEN DUE.
The insurance was therefore automati-
cally extended for 139 days, or until
March 81, 1922. The insured died on
February 4th, 1922, Of Influenza -pneu-
monia, and the Mutual Benefit PAID
$4,000 to his widow, without deducting
one cent, and NO OTHER Life Insur-
ance company in the United States
would have paid ONE CENT.
THE MUTUAL BENEFIT PAID
Because its contract provided THAT
1T SHOULD, while those Of all other
companies do not. Don't you think a
Company that sells policies with such
guarantees should be investigated by
those who WANT THE BEST?

For four years Tanlac has kept me

little run down and it always builds
me up again." said VIM. A. McGraw,
207 Beach Place, Tampa, Fla.
Il began taking Tanlac first about
four years ago when was in very
bad state of health and had been run
down for several years. l was always
taking laxatives, too, but believe
they did me more harm than good.
'.Tanlac made me feel like brand
new man in very short time and
have never had a return of any of my
old troubles. The reason of this i am
firmly convinced is that always have
Tanlac handy and take few doses

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is q physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test Of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has 80 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

"and fish stories are popular. In fact,

Envelope Valued al s12.s 500.

August Lutteken of Denver, one of
the largest stamp collectors in the
world, has an envelope mailed in 1859
which Is valued at $12,500.
There are no postage stamps on the
envelope. 1t bears only what were
known as postmasters' stamps, requir-
ing payments of 5 cents overseas post
age and the collection of another 5
cents postage from the addressee on
delivery. No street address appears
because such letters could be received
only by calling in person at the post
Office. The practice was discontinued
about the time of the Civil war and
specimens have become so rare that
Lutteken asserts the one he holds is,
in his belief, the only one extant.
