Proper Treatment of Pneumo nia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor , himself, although he may have the j proper remedies at hand. A physician j should always be called. It should "os borne in mind, however, that pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and by the proper treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as during ths thirty years and more that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has been used, we have yet to learn of a single case of a cold or attack of the grip having re sulted in pneumonia when this reme dy was used. It is also used by physi cians in the treatment of pneumonia with tbe best results. Dr. W. j. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: "1 have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for tbe past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten tbe best results. " Bold by all drog-gist.

Mr. Dove laid it down on the sidewalk while talking to a friend and after the conversation, for getting tbe aaw, he cam home ana someone walked off with It. uave now swears that the next time be takes a saw to town he won't take it. The heavy rains have seriously de layed work in tbe various yards, and the grouud ia so full of water that it w imnossible to plow or set trellis poles except on the highest points. Ten inches is about the depth a hole can ne dug, and as three feet deep ia required, it can readily be seen the difficulty the hop men have to face. Add to this the fact that parts of the yard, are cov ered from two to fourteen incbea deep by water, and poles floated in all di rections by the recent raises, some idea of tbe amount of work to be done if tbe weather ever settles, can be formed, to say nothing of tbe increased acreage to be set out this spring, which will probably be in the vicinity of one hun dred acres in this immediate neighbor hood.
