To CovrSer Readers.
We are sending The Democrat
to all subscribers of the Semi-
Weekly Courier. Many of them
are behind with their subscription.
The Democrat has purchased all
outstanding subscription accounts
hence we ask all to call and set-
tle or send the money to us at an
early date.
You can always tell the amount
you owe the The Democrat by re-
ferring to the date on the margin
of your paper.

Evangelist Sid Williams is hold-
ing a great revival in the Baptist
church at Houston.
Street naming and house num-
bering in McKinney is nearly a
thing of the past.
These are magnificent days—
just the kind for cleaning up back
yards and allies.
We have a big. ripe crop of
candidates, but good nature, per-
vades their ranks.
The Courier greets its readers
this Sunday morning witn words
of cheer and hope. If it had its
wish every home in McKinney
would be illuminated with joy and
comfort, ever faoe would be
wreathed in smiles reflecting the
love tokens of pune consecrated
hearts, and every word uttered
would go out into the world as a
musical strain, swelling into one
grand chorus echo and reechoing
from the cradle to the grave.
But ah, we realize that in our own
loved commumty.as in every other
community, there drifts upon the
tide the thoughtless victims of
habit and viciousness. Theye is
nothing that touches the heart so
much as the sight of wrecks that
drift hither and thither on life's
oeean. Yonder floats a dismantled
hulk. It nears tho landing but
he billows of temptation drives it
back until it is lost in the fog of
despair. On the shore stand
friends who tearfully wave fare-
wells. Where are the life boats?
Where are the brave oarsmen?
Why not rescue the drifting one.
In union there is strength. If
the moral element of our com-
munity would get together it
could xig up a lifs saving, crew
capable of reclaiming the un-
fort ua ate ones who are drifting
on the furious tide. The Courier
stands for the upbuilding of the
community in n ferial things,
but above all it ^ands for the
elevation of the morals of the
community, it has no harsh words
for those who differ from us or
the victims of wrong. We want
better conditions.—Daily Courier.

Aching Joints
In the fingers, toes, arms, and other
parts of the body, are joints that are
inflamed and ewo'ten by rheumatism—
that acid condition of the blood which
affects the muscles also.
Sufferers dread to move, especially
after sitting 0€ lying long, and their
condition is commonly worse in wet
weather.
"It has been a long time since we have
bqen without Hood's Saraaparilla. My
father thinks he could not do without it.
He has been, troubled with rheumatism
since he was a boy, and Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla is the only medicine he can take that
will enable him to take bis place in the
field." Miss Ada Doty, Sidney, Iowa.

DAVIS-WELL.
M iss Sophia Wall, teacher of
Wallis Chapel school a few miles
northeast of town, was married
Thursday night at Melissa to
George Davis of Valdasta. The
bride is a talented young lady,
daughter of Prof. N. D. Wall of
Valdasta but who teaches Viney
Grove school No. 1. The groom
is a popular young farmer of his
community.
SMITH-WORK.
A number of relatives and
friends gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Work on
Wilcox street Thursday to wit-
ness the marriage of their daugh-
ter Miss Daisy to Mr. James A.
Snnth of Vineland which occurred
at 7:30 o'clock. Eld. R. C. Horn
pronounced the ceremony in his
usual impressive way.
The groom is a merchant at
Vineiand, highly esteemed in both
business and social circles. The
writer has known him for fifteen
years, and there is no better man
than Jim Smith. He will make a
good husband, and we congratu-
late him on winning so fine a
iewel for a wife. Miss Work is
loved by a large circle of friends.
CHAPPELL-CALHOUP •
Eld. <Jobts McKinney
another marriage to his list late
Thursday afternoon. The con-
tracting parties this time were
J. W. Chappell who resides near
Princeton, and Miss Villa Cal-
houn a charming young lady who
has lived two miles south of this
city. They drove to the minis-
ters residence accompanied by
several couples of their friends,
and were married while sitting in
their buggy. The writer has been
acquainted with Mr. Chappell for
more than five years, and it gives
us pleasure to say there is not a
more honest, upright bigger heart-
ed gentleman in the whole coun-
ty. He owns a fine farm south of
Princeton, and built a beautiful
residence several years ago, and
we have often wondered why he
did not get a better half to pre-
side over it. We extend congrat-
ulations and best wishes.
ROGERS-MILLER.
The Methodist parsonage at
Allen, the home of Rev. and Mrs.
S. M. Miller of Allen circuit, was
the scene of a pretty wedding
January 15th, in which their
lovely daughter Miss Maude was
the bride and Addioon P. Rogers
of Rock Hill the groom.
At four o'clock Miss Lula Al-
lison sounded the chords of the
wedding march and the happy
couple, attended by Mr. Ed Mil-
ler. brother of the bride, and Miss
Willie Raney, Mr. J. Z. Hill and
Miss Foncie Rogers appeared in
the parlor before Rev. D. J. Mar-
tin of Piano, who in the solemn,
beautiful ceremony of the Metho-
dist church pronounced them
man and wife.
After congratulations an ele-
gant repast was served in the din-
ing room.
A number of relatives,Allen and
McKinney friends were present.
Those from McKinney were:
John Rogers, wife and daugh-
ter, Miss foncie Misses Lula
Allison, Bessie and Pearl Nelson
and Rev. F. A. Rosser.
The bride and groom were
driven to Rock Hill this morning
where a large crowd of relatives
and friends greeted them at the
groom home with his parents
Mr. and Mrs. Beverly Rogers,
and a splendid dinner was served.
These two young people are
among the best in the county,
both religious, highly connected
and have a large circle of friends
who wish for fcr.d expect of them
a life of happiness and useful-
ness.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis-
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid-
neys are .out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid-
neys. If the child urin-
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis-
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Sir—Replying to your inquiry re-

great Discovery, I wish to say
that I regard it as the most won-
derful of any medicine I have any
knowledge of. I firmly believe it
cured me of severe kidney trouble
in 1897, as since that time I have
assed a rigid examination for

ommend it to aoy one suffering
with kidney trouble. Most re-
spectfully,

No Arrests.
No arrest has yet been made in
Bud Gidney's burglary case west
of town, an account of which ap-
peared in last week's Democrat.
Marshal Todd Warden, con-
stable Bob Bishop and Deputy
Warden came in with the dogs
after a futile effort to trail the
guilt5 party. The dogs had no
trouble in following the trail to
where the horses were hitched
after the party mounted they
could not pursue it any fur-
ther on account of the dry con-
dition of the ground.
The loss amounts to about $150
and falls quite heavily on Mr.
Gidney, who is an honest hard-
working yonng man.
