Climax of Trip Is Wit nessing “The Common Glory” Pageant The second summer tour for Cho wan County farm families was held Tuesday of last week when 36 men, women and children visited Williams burg, Va. They traveled by special Norfolk Southern bus driven by Harry Crummey.

In Williamsburg the group visited the following historic buildings: Craft House, the Governor’s Palace, Capitol, the old jail, Raleigh Tavern, Wythe House, Bruton Parish Church and then had a picnic lunch and supper in the park area of the pageant grounds. During the afternoon many of the group bought Williamsburg plates, pieces of Jamestown pottery and other souvenirs to bring home as re minders of a very interesting trip. At night the group witnessed the pageant, “The Common Glory,” which was thoroughly enjoyed. Members of “The Lost Colony” cast were special guests at the performance, which was an added feature for the North Carolina visitors. The local party, who arrived home about 2 o’clock in the morning, in cluded the following: Mrs. S. E. Morris, Mrs. J. W. Skiles, Mrs. D. M.

Nature designed the kidneys to do a marvelous job. Their task is to keep the flowing blood stream free of an excen of toxic impurities. The act of living —lift itself —is constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood if good heath la to endure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide dis tress. One may suSer nagging backache, | persistent headache, attacks of dizsineas, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all worn out. Frequent, scanty oi burning passages are sometimes further evidence of kid ney or bladder disturbance. The recognised and proper treatment ia a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys get rid of excess poisonous body waste. Use Doan’s Pills. They have had more than forty years of public approval.
