Letter From Illinois October 20th, 1904* Editor Recorder: Not having written you for sometime, I will try and give you something more that will be of in? terest to your many readers. Since my last. I have taken in quitt? a bit of the western world and had many pleasant visits among the children of Virginia, and have gripped the hand of many warm friends. After visiting at Lexing? ton, my nephew. Robert Kusinisel. sou of John I Rtisinisel who resid? ed near Doe Hill in your county and now dead, and bis wife, a daughter of Mr Martin Maloora, near DcDowell, Van and George Armstrong, and the late widow of Mr. Arbogast who is in declining health, 1 took the train on Sunday for Normal which place I reached in time to partake a sumptuous re? past wit 11 ll L Malcom. After a pleasant stay of two weeks at that place, I took the Illinois Central at Bloomington, for Colfax a large mining town, the coal being taken out of tlie- carib e?fc n dc ?>l<ti uf fuui hundred feet and the coal taken out for nearly a mile around the shaft?the whole town and many farms are undermined. The vein of coal is about nine feet. I cs-me to Mr Price Siron's place just in time for a square meal at noon on the same dav. He is a son of Gil? bert Siron of McDowell, ant! marri? ed a daughter of Edward Propst. all of them readers of your paper. They are comfortably situated. Lottie, the daughter of Mr. Siron. is going to high school, is in the Sereu th grade, and is taking music. The people of ibis town are quite entertaining to strangers, especial? ly Virginians, and there are many of the sons of Highland here. Among them, Mr'Joh ii and Arthur "Wilson, sons of Kio Wilson, and the widow and mother of .John. Arthur, Mary, now the wife of Thomas Magg, recently married and a son of Squire Blagg. near Doe Hill. Ile is a farmer and i* about finishing the plowing of 90 acres for corn next year. I had quite a pleasant visit to Arthur Wilson's. He' has 120 acres of corn to shuck, and has a tine lot of horses. John Wilson and lamilV had gone to the fair and did not get to vi??il him, though lu* is well fixed anil ha- 50 head of cattle. 100 hog?, tlie lii,e,t Int I ever saw. John Vance lives 8 miles north of tovn and is married. He is Ittmtig along tine, had DH) acres (if Com, \ield 5000 bushels. People are shucking cern, and you can hear the golden ear* strik? ing the high dide boards all over the county, and wagons ure rattling at. Jj o'clock in the morning all over the country. A good shucker can shuck 1200 bushels* of shelled corn in a dav. 1 met willi Elgar Wilson at Ar? thur's. Ile is farming ami keep? ing bachelor's hall. My visit at Ibis place is near to a close and I will return lo Normal to-nurr nv. W. E. VV.

From Blue Ur ass Valley Nov. 1st, 1904. We had a considerable blizzard last week and everybody tried to freeze to death in the sunshine, be? cause they bad no wood for the grate ll, blew off again and we are now having delight fal fall weathei with the ex"eption of the bing drought, which has cut ihe fall pasture short and added greatly to the length of the feeding season. Our enterprising farmer, Walter Newman has gone into the mer? cantile business, and really offers to the public a beautiful and cheap line of goods and groceries which he bas marked down to ''bottom prices." We wish him well and hope he will have the patronage and good will of all our people. Col. II E Colaw and mother spent several days last week visit? ing friends and relatives on Strait Creek and around Monteray. Prof. Kerr who taught the High tow n school last winter bas com? menced bis school in this p'ace. His wita we understand is teaching the New Hampden school. They ! have our best wishes and wannest welcome. Mr Wm Hevener and wife have moved back to the home mansion where be accidentlv cut his foot last week while splitting wood. Vote for "Wise" in the contest and get your "bonnets" made free. We left out a few items in our last letter which would have said, that ll B Nicholas was at home from the W^sf. That Misses Nannie aiul Bessie Sterret, and Mr Phil Sterftt were the welcome guests of "Bro. Wise." and that Mr and Mrs Stites of Kansas were v. itil friends a few days last week. We enjoyed very much, reading Bro. H. A. Murrill's letter in the Methodist last week on the Itiner? ant Preachers, and must really say for lofty sentiment and graceful periods nnd weighty questions, it will stand the test of the critics, and add new lustre to his graceful pen. The "parson" hus proven to bc the best convasserin the bounds of Hie whole Baltimore Conference and stands at the head of the list with 140 subscribers to our church paper. Ile and bis charming wife and children are now taking their well earned vacation with relatives and friends in Greenbrier county. Possibly the parson will visit the Exposition before returning. It is said that Mr Arbogast ship? ped to Richmond last week the fineat car load of lambs that ever left the Bottom, and received the highest price ever paid a Highland? er in the memory of man. It must have made "Billy'' feel good when the buyers passed through the sheep pens and looked happy. The Newman, Simmons and Pot? ter bun bs till averaged over 100 pounds and some weighed from 130 to 140 pounds. If you don't be lieve there is good money in sheep, I will give you an illustration. Mr .Jasper Simmons has 12 ewes. He sheared (20.00 worth of wool from lix .ri thia fc?r nutt un BTCrnKO 6f more than $1.50 pei bead hereto fore, raised 23 lambs and lost 3 more this year. They brought him about $5 per bead as they weighed over 100 pounds each, or $115 in all. A clear profit of $112 after deducting about $2 per head for keeping them. He bas averaged over $100 clear profit each year off of them ewes, which are now 0 and 7 years old?a grand total of $000 or 700. Air I Q Simmons and wife are back from their recent trip to Bal-j timore where Bro. Simmons bought the largest and nicest stock of I goods ever brought to this placp. As soon as the edition to his store room is completed and "Wise" gets his sewing machine, he will have the dress making and milli? ner department in full blast. We expected to speak of our roads and a few foot-logs that were to be put up last winter, but. have never been, still our letter is long enough this time but we promise you, "your money's worth" in tlie near future.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your srater and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set? tling indicates an unhealthy condi? tion of the kid? neys; if it stains your linen it ls evidence of kid? ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back a also :onvlncing proof that the kidneys and blad? der are out of order.
