Morgan Grange Makes Visit

Morgan grange No. 1853 P. of H
accepted an invitation from Pleas
antyille grange in Fairfield county,
to be present at the anniversary of
their grange, which was organized
so years ago. On last Saturday af-
ternoon some seven or eight car
loads, headed by Sheriff Newton and
wife, started to make the trip. All
arrived in fine shape-not even a
blowout, except for Link Wilson
who made a-miscue on a detour
When the time came for speeches
it was free for all, and they did
fine, but among the principal
speeches was one made by ]. B.
Shell, candidate for clerk of courts
on the Democrat ticket. This being
the county of Mr. Shells birth, he
naturally made fine address, as he
is able to do. Next came VIM. Par
miter. His subject was complica-
ted one" Shine and bobbed hair"
He divided it into two sections,
bobbed hair first, shine second. His
speech would indicate that we as a
nation are following many of the
fashions of the race of the antedi-
luvians. Wits language was good,
and his gestures fine. He made q
big hit.
Pleasantville grangers took the
visitors home with them for the
night, and gave them a big dinner
next day. B. r.

Tells On The Kidneys
McConnelsviIle People Have Found
This To Be True

This To Be True
The strain of overwork tells on
the weakened kidneys. The hurry
and worry of business men, the
heavy lifting and STOPPING of work
men, the women's household cares,
tend to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they can no longer fl
ter the poison from the blood and
the whole body suffers from the
waste matter that accumuiates.
Weakened kidneys need quick as
sistance. Doan's pills are especially
prepared for weakened kidneys;
tired, worn-out backs-have proven
their merit in thousands of cases.
Below is convincing proof from this
locality:
M. w. Balderson, blacksmith.
Main St., Malta, o., says: Heavy
work weakened my kidneys and my
back was lame. 1t was hard to get
started in the morning. A dull,
heavy pain across the small Of my
back had me In bad shape. When I
was shoeing horse any back trou-
bled me a lot, and had to take it
easy. My kidneys were weak and
active and I had to get up many
times at night to pass the secretions
which contained brick-dust sedi-
ment Doan's Pills relieved me In
good shape"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's pills-the same that Mr..
Balderson had, Foster-Milburn

The trip from all standpoints was
almost perfect, permitting those
making it to have the time of their
lives, to the great loss of those. re-

However, before arriving at
Pleasantville, at one time we had
led ourselves in believing that our
chaperon Mr.. Wilson was returning
US to Morgan county, by a circuitous
road. We also heard someone say
that the moon shone in Morgan
county all the time, to which we
took slight exception.

THE FAIR


The list Morgan county fair clos
ed Friday, having been perhaps the
most successful in it's long history.
Threatening, unfavorable weather
the first two days, made things look
somewhat discouraging, but in the
last two days there was change.
Thursday the old weather man seem
ed to have concluded that since ev-
erybody else had worked SO hard
for successful fair, he too would
do his part, with the result that
finer fair weather was never seen
than that of the closing days, par
ticularly Friday when it had turned
much warmer. The big crowd in
attendance all seemed TO have the
fair spirit. The refreshment stands
did a record breaking business,
many of them running "out" before
the fair was over. The concessions
people in general were highly pleas
ed. Races were far above the av-
erage; more and better exhibits and
displays in all departments. There
were no auto mishaps. In fact it
was just real good fair"-bet
ter than most county fairs In this
part OF the state. The words of
praise, and deserved compliments,
will encourage the management to
work still harder next year.
Attendance Breaks Record
The attendance. according to gate
receipts, breaks all records, by
about 500. During the three days
the total number of adult paid ad-
missions was S,234; children. 467;
automobiles, 1894. On Sept. 10
there were 289 adult tickets sold
and 142 children's. Sept. IL. 1881
adults; 142 children; 662 autos.
Sept. 12, 5.124 adults; 325 chill

TWir, Cities Band
IsBeing Formed

An Innovation in the musical activ-
tiles of Twin Cities Musicians is the
organization of the Twin Cities Musi-
clans Association. At present there
is a membership of 3S musicians who
have organized band under the d.
rection of Prof. w. ]. Moore of Min
neapolis. These men are rehearsing
strenuously and are expected to be
heard in public shortly. A splendid
crowd attended their first benefit
dance Monday evening, at the South
Side Auditorium. This was the first
of a series of entertainments to Sc
cure funds for the purchasing of uni
forms. The second one will be an
nounced later. The activities of the
Twin Cities Musicians Association
are highly deserving of public COM
mendation and support. A band is
greatly needed, so why not help the
boys put things over. Those who re-
member the Minnesota Home Guard
band few years ago are in one ac-
cord that there are sufficient num-
Der of Twin Cities musicians to form
one of the best bands in this section.

Announcement of the filing of Mrs.

All right thinking citizens realize
that in justice to the race we should
