WOMEfPS WOES Graham Women Are Finding Relief at Last, It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; tj»«y rtyist "keep .up", must attend to duties in spite of constantly ach ing backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down pain* they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk, and bend and work with racking pains and many -ache sfrom kidney ffiT Keeping the kidneys well has ■pared thousands of women much misery. Bead of a remedy f?r kidneys onlv, that is endorsed by people you know. MM. A. Bradshaw, Mill Street, Graham, saya: "I had pains In my back and sides that hurt me all 1 the time. My kidneys were irreg i ular to action and I was nervous . and unable to sleep well at night Doan's Kidney Pilb made me feel ; Pbetter than I had to years. 1 1 have given Doan's Kidney Pills to i the children and know they are a safe medicine."

The Graham Choral Unioi at New Providence Sunday Night Those who failed to attend the Misssionary Service at New Provi dence Christian church, certainly did miss a musical treat. The oc casion was at the time ol the Mite Box opening—a contribution to foreign missions. The program had Men prepared by Hiss Clara Hughes ana Hiss Aggie Perry, both of whom are very much interested in missions. The two important fea tures of the exercises were the play, "How Some Dollies Went as Missionaries," given by four little girls, and the music, which was given by the Oraham Choral Union. The Union sung several selections of music, and Oraham, I believe, has never had better music; In an of her churches than was rendered by the Union at New Providence Sun Ha- night. The Choral Union is composed of members of _mo3t all of the churches in Graham, and to my way of thinking th?re is no mor&jmportant organization among the people of Oraham than this, and we feel sure that this organi zation will continue to grow in in fluence and power until all th? churches In Oraham will see mark-" ed improvement in their services in the singing of the gospel. V VKfff%ere indeed glad to have this Union h'Onor us with its presence and to have the singers with us again. .. t J. P. MORGAN. Special Service at New Providence Next Sunday.

' The new pastor of the Graham Christian churches, Rev. J. G. Tru itt, will preach his first sermon on the Fourth Sunday in November.

Wonderful Meoagrie F&ond With Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. One of tbe things In which the Carl-Hagenbeck Wallace Circus has always excelled la in ita menagerie. Carl Hftgenbeck, the noted German animal man, waa the tirat person who ever succeeded in breaking and subduing wild animals for a public performance. He startled the capitals ot Europe half a cen tury ago with hla intelligent, yet man-eating -beasts. At each World's Fair that'naa been held in the Unit ed States in ths past forty years the Carl Hagenbeck Wild animals have plwajra furnished the steltar attractions. So much interest was aroused at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, that when Carl Hagenbeck went n to partnership with B. E. Wallace, the "circus king", to combine their two rhows. At first the idea look ed impossible because of their size. Each show had already reached a state that it required the efforts ot only the most skilled circua of ficl Is to hinili. Thi gr.atest problem waa the one involved in the transportation. A train one mile in length, was built and di vided into three aections. in this way the obatacle of moving th» great institution from city to city was solved. Yet each year, since the consoli dation of the shows the Carl Haijen beck-Wal|£ce Circua has grown. All of the wild animala of the show are under the direction of the Hagen becka. Only the choiceat apecimens are Been, others are disposed of to smaller circuses and IOOS. Th» Hagenbeck farm, Hamburg, Ger many, is the world's biggest animal headquarters. Aa fast as rare and costly apecimens are captured by the Hagenbeck hunters, scattered throughout the world, they are sent -to their own show, the Carl Hagenbeck-Waiiace Circus. But the Hagenbeck animals only form one department of the com bined shows. The great Wallace Cir rus still excels aa th? "H rjhest class Circus in the World.'" The performance is given in three rings nnd on two elevated stages. More than 400 noted artists, who repre sent almost every country on the globe, wil! be Been with the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus in Bur lington on Saffcrday, November 6. Manages.
