MISCELLANEOUS
Gins Kept Busy.
The different gins of the city have
been kept rather busy this week put-
ting up the remnant of cotton of this
year’s crop. Those gins which have
machinery for crushing the unopened
cotton bolls are doing considerable
business along this line, and the far-
mers are not slow to realize that there
is a good profit in these unopened
bolls and are hauling them to town.
A good profit is realized on this grade
of cotton, much more than if It had
been left to go to waste in the fields.
Odd Fellows Attention.
Every member of Lodge No. 77, I. O.
0. is requested to be present at the
meeting tonight. Ther<‘ is work In the
initiatory degree, and probably oth-

Many a Weatherford Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely free
roin annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders, is enough to make ahy kid-
ney sufferer grateful. The following
will prove comforting words to hun-
dreds of Herald readers:
' Mrs. W. S. Richardson, 424 Bridge
St., Weatherford, Texas, says: “I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills for
many years and they are the only
remedy that ever cured me of back-
ache and pains in my loins. I suffered
from severe pains, caused by my kid-
neys. Doan’s Kidney Pills acted at
once and I could not be without them.
I can highly recommend this remedy,
as it has done me so much good. I
know of other people who have been
benefited by its use.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
New York, sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name—Doan’s—and
take no other.
