You may not have missed this
rolumn from the yesterday’s paper,
ns you may not have looked for it.
Hut' many things have happened since
i w ,ote my junk Monday morning for
. Tuesday's issue. True to his word,
Fenton Seat really took me out Mon
drtV r jght, instead of us both getting
„ po d fooling as we got the last time,
when he had to work that night.
We left town about six-thirty, when
tiir moon was in its best of the eclipse
We again took James Reg'an with us.
Fenton had left his wife and baby out
at hcr folkses home Sunday. So we
‘C o( to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams’
nfton three tables of corn-shuckers
had eaten. We sat down to that table
which was piled up with a big dish
of cabbage and corn bread, biscuits
and butter, coffee and water, cake
and pie, meat and pudding, chicken
and dressing, and what not.
1 forgot that I was afraid the cab
baae might make me sick, and ate
two big helpings, and then to the
beans, and so on down the bne. When
wo finished, there were still several
others to eat.
We were supposed to have our little
stringed orchestra to play some after
supper, hut the fiddler went ’possum
hunting and did not get there. So we
played some hymns and sang a while,
anti then they played their usual
pieces on the guitars and they sang
some, and we had a most nice time
in general.
Uncle Billy Williams was there in
son Charlie’s, and George and family,
and John Roy and family, and tho
long, tall [jaws man who used to wear
a coon-skin capp about twenty years*
ago when he was such a great trap
per. He and his family, were there.
Reuben Sidney Greenway, who lives
up the road, was there.
And I don’t know who all else, but
Graham West and several other young
fellows. At bedtime we left, and Fen
ton get me back by about ten-thirty.
And what did I have to do? I had
to get up at five to get ready Xo go
down to the court house and ueip fin
ish getting everything ready for the
voting, which started at sun-up I do
not know how the vote was, over in
Vance, but our precinct voted about
one-third the number that voted in
the primary several months ago. That
goes to show thcit folks just do not
care somehow about voting in an
election around here as they do vot
ing in a primary.
But we lived through :t all, and fin
ished the count and the heoorts and
got home before nine o’clock. And T
mean I was tired and ready to go to
sleep. And the papers tell about one
precinct in New York which has only
one registered vote*, and all that had
to be gone through with just one per
son to vote.
I do not know whether they are
teaching that sort of thing, but if you
do not know, then let me tell you that
there are a great number of folks who
really do not know how to go to the
KiDNEYS ’’V
MUST REMOVE
EXCESS ACIDS
Help 15 Miles of Kidney Tubes
Flush Out Poisonous Waste
If you have an excess of acid waste in your
blood, your 15 miles of kidney tubes may be
over-worked. These tiny filters and tubes are
working day and night to help Nature rid your
system of poisonous waste. ‘
When functional kidney disorder permits
poisonous matter to remain, in the blood,
you won’t feel well. This may cause nagging
backache, rheumatic pains, leg pains, loss of pep
and energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the evfis, headaches and dizziness. If you
have trouble with frequent or scanty passages
with smarting and burning, there may be some
thing wrong with your kidneys or bladder.
Kidneys may need help the same as bowels.
bo ask your druggist for Doan’s Pills, used
successfully by millions for over 40 years.
They give happy relief and will help the 15
miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous
waste from your blood. Get Doan’s Pills.

polls and vote. There were several
ways in which we found that our yes
terday.
Now let’s forget that we have ever
voted and have a little foolishness.
Dick Wjilkins thinks that I am posi
tively idiotic and insane for telling
that big lie about the mari who
bought the new car and wanted 'the
fog lights' put in the rear of the car
and the radio in the spair, now isn’t
that some spelling when I meant the
spare tire. Well, Dick, I’m not the on
ly foolish man in the world. Just look
at yourself. You could actually eat
half the amount of food you do eat,
and still live. Then you wouldn’t be
so fat and stout and so almost unable
to walk. Then you could prime to
bacco much better. And you could
plow much easier. You would even
i be much more comfortable just sitting
down and driving your car to town.
Your breath wouldn’t be so short.
You could buy yourself two pairs
of overalls where you now buy one.
And also have three Sunday hats
yihere you now have only two. Yes,
you could put a dollar in the collec
tion plate every Sunday. And you
could take Old Mose to the movies
opce a month, and still have money to
throw away, if you just wouldn’t eat
so much.
But I have always heard that big
eating is reaaly a disease with stout
folks, Dick, and I don’t blame you. If
I had the where-with-eVer, I would
be a big eater, too. So you are ex
tremely excusable.
• Marvin* Blackwell fend Art-hpr Hart;
were sitting down in one of those in-'
visible booths in the case eating, when
I walked in. My hawk eyes spied
them through the wood, but I was not
looking for either of them. I was look
ing for two other fellows who live a
a good hit away from town. Nothing
would do but that I sit down by Mar
vin and eat something. But I had just
finished dinner, so told him I would
only take a slice of pie and a glass
of milk, which I did. It was surely
delirious, Marvin, and truly bounced
me back to normality.
Arthur Hart and George Riggan
both got them a small, what you
might call pocket radio, last summer
to take to the field to plow. Later on
they moved them to their strip house.
Some days ago I heard that George
had hung his radio up cn the head of
his bed, and turned it on every night
just after supper, got in bed, and went
to sleep with it tuned in on Alexan
der’s Ragtime Band.

numbers will be put out during the
