The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous liecause so decep-
~ , j|| 1 I ili-in tive. Many sudden
ft I ivl 70 k -B deaths are caused
by it—heart dis-
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
-im. r* apoplexy are often
jf\ \ v'T the resnlt of kid-
ney disease. If
kidney trouble Is
Vi Id __ allowed toadvance
the kidney-poison-
«inr- od blood will at-
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous-
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down ami waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost olways result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid-
neys. 5wamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding min in passing it,
ami overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of txing compiled to go often througn
the day, and to get np many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root ia pleasant to take and la
•old by all druggists in fifty-cent and

In response to call of the presi-
dent, Dr. W. T. Moore, a largely at-
tended and enthusiastic meeting of

and Old Settlers’ Reunion and Picnic
Association was held at the court
house April 20, Dr. Moore presiding.
To Provide Public Park.
After thft meeting had been for-
mally called to order Tony McDonald
tintde a motion that the organization
be incorporated without capital
stock, under the laws of the State
of Texas, with the usual officers, to|
serve one year each, and three di-
rectors to serve one, two und three
years, the purpose of the Incorpora-
tion being to provide a place for
holding the annual reunions and a
public park for the benefit of nil the
people The motion carried unanl-|
piously and according to the terms
of Mr. McDonald’s motion, the chair
appointed a committee to apply for a
charter and to draft by-laws for the
association. Messrs. Wallace Hugh-
ston, Tony McDonald and Richard
Allen being named as the commit-
tee.

The question of selecting a place
for holding this year’s reunion and
picnic came up, and Tuck Hill, Mayor
Doggett. Richard Allen, Sam Massie,
Alderman J. I). Bass and others
spoke in favor of the old fair
grounds just east of the railroads.
Yancy Powell was accorded the floor
aqd called attention to Ills tract of
land near the interurban, just south
of town, stating that it was an ideal
place for the holding of such a re-
union, and urged consideration of
that piece of land as a location for
this year’s picnic. After further
discussion a vote was taken and it
was decided to bold this year's picnic
at the old fair grounds, the scene of
the annual event for the past sever-
al years.

After discussion of the best lime
for holding the picnic, It. R. Allen

Thursday and Friday, August 1S.

for holding the reunion, and the mo-
tion was unanimously carried.
Fonmiittee Named.
Walter B. Wilson stated that in
view of the importance of a wise se-
lection of officers he would make a
motion that a committee be named
to make out a list of names to be
recommended to th** meeting as offi-
cers of the association, the associa-
tion to consider the recommenda-
tions and vote upon each one sepa-
rately, also to consider any other
nominations that might be made by
any citizen present. It. B. Davis. J.
K. P. Shrader and Alderman Bass
expressed themselves as in favor of
making the nominations without ref-
erence to a committee and the lat-
ter *made a substitute motion to
that effect. The maker of the orig-
inal motion then offered to withdraw
his motion, but after it was thor-
oughly explained that the recom-
mendations of the committee were
in no sense binding on the associa-
tion which was free to accept or re-
ject. as it was deemed best, and to
elect any other person deemed bet-
ter qualified for any position, Mr.
Bass withdrew his substitute and the
motion prevailed. The chair ap-
pointed as members of the committee
Tony McDonald, Walter B. Wilson
and Sam Massle, but on motion of
Mr. Massie, Giles McKinney was ap-
pointed in his stead.

made the following recommenda-
tions, each of whom was voted up-
on separately and elected:

ly.

nounced the selection of Frank G.

After 6ome further discussion in
which the determination was ex-
pressed to make this year’s reunion
and picnic bigger and better than ev-
er before, the meeting adjourned,
subject to the call of the president.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Has cured so many cases that seemed almost beyond the
reach of medicine, that people ask, Why?
An examination^ our well-known formula, from which
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is and always has been carefully and
scientifically prepared, confirms the fact that it contains
those well-known and valuable medicinal ingredients, which,
when intelligently combined and properly administered,
are sure to bring about good results.
It is the properly balanced proportion, combination
and process in combining those ingredients known to
have specific action upon the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, which make Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiar to
itself and enable it to produce results unequaled by any
similar medicine. It cures when others fail. Give it a trial.

It’s not words, but deeds that prove

The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
For McKinney kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Mc-

to stay cured.
J. S. Dowell, 25 S. Parker St., Mc-
Kinney, Tex., says: “Whenever I
feel the least backache, I immedia-
tely go to Smith Bros, drug store
and get a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
I think ihere is nothing like them.
Before I began their use I was rarely
free from pain through my kidney
regions. The secretions from the
kidneys were irregular in actiou at
times and unnatural in appearance.
Doan’s Kidney Pills benefltted me at
once and have never failed to help
me when I have appealed to them. I
know of several other people in Mc-
Kinney who have used them and re-
ceived the most beneficial results.”

The following absolutely true
story goes to prove that truth is
stranger than fiction, and that a
great majority of tlie people are in
Ignorance of what Is going on in the
lives of those with whom they come
in daily contact. But sometimes,
through the will of the Divine Rul-
er or one of ins instruments, facts
long kept in darkness come to light
and the result is such as to seem al-
most n iraeuloiis; ns in the case giv-
en to the Times by one of the par-
ties concerned witli this story, much
of which is not known even to those
most intimately connected with the
nffair, and in the bands of a novelist
would prove the ground for a story
with many pathetic Incidents:
On the lltli of September, in the
year 1NS3, S. B. Fritz married a
young woman in Arkansas, to which
union was born a daughter, Luella
Belle Fritz. After the birth of the
child Fritz and hi; family moved to
Texas and settled in Comanche
county. When the child was only
two years of age Fritz and his wife
^operated, and in the year 1H90 Mrs.
Fritz entered suit fbr divorce on the
ground of abandonment an 1 nou-
support, which decree was granted at
that term of court and the separa-
tion made final. Soon after the
father kidnapped the babe, who at the
time was two years, two months and
eight days old, and left for parts un-
known, keeping his and the little
one's identity a secret by using a
fictitious name, and always answer-
ing the child's qu< lions as to where
It’s mother was by telling it she was
dead. In 1902 Joe Tucker, living
three miles northwest of Farmers-
vllle married Luella Belle Fritz. Af-
ter the death of her father, who al-
ways persisted in the story that Ills
wife was dead, and one day about a
year ago she was relating the inci-
dents connected with her life to T.
|{. Hearne, of Pencil, who had ex-
pressed his belief that her mother
might still be alive, and gave her
the names of several old residents
of her childhood home, with the ad-
vice that she open a correspondence
with them, and if hiR belief had any
foundation, they could place her in
possession of facts either to prove
or disprove whether her father’s
story was correct or uot. Mrs.
Tucker, upon tills advice, opened n
correspondence with those whose
names had been furnished her by
Mr. Hearne, and after a lenghty and
discouraging period found that her
mother was stll alive and was living
at Carrollton, Hamilton county, Tex-
as, and that she was In good health
and had again married.
When this piece of much sought
news reached the Tucker home there
was much rejoicing and a hasty
preparation for a journey. Mrs.
Tucker’s mother arrived In Farmers-
vllle Wednesday, March 31, and for
the first time In her life Mrs. Tucker
saw her mother to know' her. One
can picture the feelings of mother
and daughter who had so long sup-
posed that the other had passed
away, but such feelings can never be
described by the pen of human being.
Mrs. Tucker is a modest, pretty
little woman, with a fairly good ed-
ucation arid Is one of the best res-
pected ladles in her neighborhood, a
ehristian woman and loved by all
who know her.—Farmersvllle Times.
