The Hume schools closed Friday with appropriate exercises. Many visitors and patrons of the school went up to see the children and hear the exercises. It is generally conced- ed that this has been the most pros- perous school year in the history of the school and a sentiment in favor of retaining the present teachers is almost universal. Our school this year demonstrates the wisdom of paying good salaries to good teach- ers rather than throw away money upon poor teachers. Yet some old moss backs complain that teachers are too well paid. Why don’t the fool killer come around this way. I. T. Mizer. Virginia Items.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order, WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and sealding pain in passing it, or bad effects foliowing use of liquor, wine or beer, aud overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing eases. If you need a medi- cine you should have the best.
