Money is made to circulate. It is not Intended that it should be Idle and remain in one place all the time. He who gets hold of a dollar and con fines it so It will do no one any good prevents it from its legitimate course and use. So then, every man ought to be In a hurry to pay his debts, so that the man to whom he pays mon ey may In turn pay It to anoher, and he to another. Thus one dollar may pay ten times a dollar debt In a day If men were careful to keep the dollar in constant circulation. Every man who can ought to pay his hon est debts every day.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when Jthe child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of SwampRoot is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes.

Ruskin's Idea of Home. The home Is the place of peace; the shelter not only from all Injury, but from all terror, doubt and division. In so far as It is not this, It is not home; so far as the anxieties of the outer life penetrate Into it, and the Inconsistently minded, unknown, un loved, or hostile society of the outer world Is allowed by either husband or wife to cross the threshold, It ceases to be home, It is then only a part of the outer world which you have roofed over and lighted fire in. But so far It Is a sacred place, a ves tal temple, a temple of the hearth watched over by Household Gods before whose face none may come but those you can receive with love, so far as it Is this, and roof and fire types only of a nobler shade and light shade as of the rock In a weary land and light as of the Pharos In stormy sea so far It vindicates the name and fulfills the praise of home. And wherever a true wife goes, this home is always round her.

John Ruskin. A Romantic Alfair in Caldwell. The Lenoir Topic tells of a roman tic marriage In Caldwell. One Wm Navy bought license to marry Minnie Perry. When he reached the home of his affianced he found Wm. Clarke, another &ultor, on hand.

New Business For Creedmoor. Arrangements are being made at Creedmoor for the erection of one or two large tobacco warehouses du ring the coming summer. Itlslearn ed that the Messrs. Coopers, of Hen' derson, are backing the move and that the buildings will certainly be erected.

During his illness his gallant young son Joe took charge of the mail and gave perfect satisfaction. On March 21, 1904, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Owen and took from them their oldest daughter Pattle, aged 17 years.
