The Famous Trial Independent
There wa? almost a perious
breach made in the Independent
Order of the of Rest recen
tly. As noted by the correspond
ent, "W. L. W." grave suspicion
rested upon one of the members
of this noble order as having be
come too familiar with a ' 'yaller" j
turkey gobbler about the Thanks
giving season. According to the
rules of the Order the wayward
brother was brought to trial. The
evidence was purely circumstan
tial. It was shown however that
a "yaller" gobbler had disap
peared, on, or about this time;
it was shown further that this
particular member did not leave
his house on the particular day
before dinner (an unusual occur
ence for him. In defense how
ever it was claimed that he was
at home qoaking his feet In order
to remove some corns) Everthing
looked dark for the defendant
until the attorney for the defense
asked the star witness to • "Give
the marks which differentiate a
"yaller turkey gobbler from a
yaller turkey hen? This was a
jawbreaker and the court decided
that a witness who knew no more
about turkeys than that, was in
competent to pass upon the guilt
of a brother and the accused bro
ther was declared by the highest
authority of the order to beguilty
of nothing more than assuming
a turkev gobbler strout in coming
down street on the afternoon of
oar National Thanksgiving.

back;
Can' rest at night;

oul."
Doan's Kidney Pills will give
renewed life.
They will cure the backache;
Cure every kidney ill.
Here is Hickory proof that this
is so:
R. W. Robinson, living at 1220
Thirteenth St., Hickory, N. C., says:
'*l am glad to say that the result I de
rived from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pill* were satisfactory in every respect.
For some time prior to using . them I
had been a sufferer from sharp pains
through the small of my back and my
kidneys were very irregular in action
I cams to the conclusion that my kid
neys needed prompt attention, and
procured Doan's Kidney Fills at the
Moser-Lutz Drug Co. From the time
I began using them I steadily improv- j
cd, and am now feeling much better in
every way. The painß across the 9mall
of my back at present are scarcely
noticeable and the kidney secretions
have become clear and give me no
troable whatever." -
