Growing Old Too Fast?
Many McCOnRelsville Folks Feel
Older and Slower Than They
Should

Are you weak, tired, all worn
out? DO you feel years older than
other folks of your age? Then look
to your kidneys. The kidneys are the
blood filters and if they weaken, the
effect is quickly felt. You have con-
slant backache headaches, dizziness
and urinary troubles. You feel
lame, stiff and athy--all played out.
Don't wait! Use, Doan's Pills-a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Read what this McConnelsville resi-
dent says:
George H. Best, retired farmer.
Vine street, says: "a dull, steady
ache across my back wore me out
and when I stopped, pains gripped
me across my kidneys. My kidneys
were weak and it was hard to pass
the seeretions, which contained a
brick dust sediment and burned in
passage. Doan's Pills were just the
remedy needed. After using
Doan's, the baokache left and my
kidneys acted norma4aE."
Mr.. Best is only one of many Nc
ConnslsvilIe people who have CRATE
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. II your
back aches--if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy---ask distinctly for DOAN's
PILLS. the same that Mr.. Best had
the remedy backed by home testi-
mony so cents at all dealers. Fos-

My Dear Aunt:-On account Of
your having been born at Chester
hill and living there prior to the
time when the Morgan county grand
jury met to adjudicate Chesterhill
and Stockport troubles, we suspect
you are not posted on court affairs.
Uncle Timothy having been a resi-
dent of the county seat in the days
of the gurgling Goods, would likely
be authority Of the old time court,
but things have changed. When
Uncle Timothy was younger, there
was a rush on opening day of court
by retired farmers for the front
seat in a hope Of getting to fill a va
cancy in panel. At that time it is
reported, jurors to fill vacancies
were sometimes called On account
of political prestige rather than
their ability to serve out justice
Willie had an opportunity to at
tend court some, yet there are
some things we can not understand,
viz: They swear witnesses to tell the
have them tell everything else.
Why they make them tell the
same thing over and over we cant
see. If it's the truth, once would
surely be enough. If it's not, less
would be better
A lot of folks who are too busy
to go to big meeting, seem to find
time to go to court.
Morgan county folks while as
good as the best, are queer. If it's
cold--it's oh! my. II it's hot; it's
oh, dear
One thing we have noticed about
preachers. If you 90 to sleep dur
ing the sermon they keep right on.
When you have time tell US what
is troubling you. Hoping you and
Uncle Timothy didn't - freeze your
ears during the cold spell.-Your
nephew, Willie.
