into this order when 21 years
old, and up to this year he was
a very active member, seldom
missing a meeting. The de

in time of need, and was at all
times on the side of that which
was good. He was for the up
building of the country and
town, and was at all times ready
with a helping hand and his
money to build up the schools
and churches of this community.
(The deceased was 87 years old.

rumor that Charlie C. Reid will
be a candidate for governor in

he will not enter the political a

promise he made to Mrs- Reid
when he voluntarily retired
from congress. Mr. Reid for
many years represented the
Fifth district in congress, and
could have continued there in

County Singing Convention.
Tuckerman, Aug. 4.—A small
number of delegates and visit
ors from different parts of the
county met Saturday, August 1,
at Elgin, and organized a county
singing convention- A tempor
ary organization was effected be
fore noon, by electing T. C.
Reid, chairman.
The work of the committees,
especially the committee on
constitution and by-laws was
the feature of the afternoon ses
sion.
The organization was made
permanent after noon by elect
ing Z- B- Reid of Newport presi
dent; Mr. Goatcher of Battle
Axe, vice president and Mr.
Tad Bradley secretary-treasur
er.
The next session will be held
at Battle Axe on the first Sat
urday and Sunday in October.
Realizing the inward stimu
lation and the considerable force
of inspired vocal music and
knowing the perfect develop
ed fruits coming from it, peo
ple throughout the county will
willingly sanction this new or
ganization and we expect their
hearty co-operation- Let’s
make it a success from the be
ginning and vocal music sung
understandingly will soothe in
fants and force gray hairs to
shed tears- It is a generator of
eternal sunshine and the dynamo
of the souls of men.
We pray God’s blessings on
this organization.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many A Newport Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in
Newport- There is plenty of
positive proof of this in the tes
timony of citizens. Such evi
dence should be convincing to
the most skeptical doubter. Read
the following statement:
Mrs. C. A. Arnett, 414 Laurel
street, Newport, says: “One of
our family was troubled by a
dull, steady ache over his kid
neys. It was hard for him to
lift anything or stoop. He was
stiff and lame when he got up
mornings. He finally got a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Walk
er's Pharmacy and they gave
| him great relief.”
