On Friday of last week, just before the noon hour, about a half dozen buggies, occupied by the ladies, of the Edgefield Literary Club, .with baskets laden with good things to eat, made their way to tho County Home. There they Bpread tables with the very best 'of picnic dinners, Large ( plates heaped up and running over were filled with fried'chicken, ham,: sandwiches, cakes, pies salads, pickles, etc, and given to each inmate. As they finished their, dinner-s aud began returning to 'their hqmes, eaoh plate wae replenished with enough for au- ( other meal, A feagt still remained aud.of this the ladies, with Mr. 1 and'Mrs. Scurry and t'jeir chil dren, partook. Mrs, Sourry had added a nice diuuer to the feast and Mr. Scurry, brought iu a , l?rge basket of delightful peaohes , aud the . best oold water. After ? th?se had all feasted there still ? remained what Mr. Scurry said would save their cooking any- , tu'irig.for more than another meal. The organ had been placed near , the tables in a shady spot, and , after dipper the ladies sang some , of the good old hymus, and Rev. , Tl P. BurgesB made a very appro- , priate talk to all who were present. The local W. C. T. U.' had con tributed a bouquet of flowers with a acripkre verse attached, to ouch inmate. Tb,ese were read by Mr. Burgess as the bouquets ware pre sented. There were seven afflicted ones who could uot corne out oJ their homes. A* I of these were visited, aud I be little organ was transported to every home aud 1 hymus were sung. Mr. Scurry was highly eom .mended by eyery oue (Vr hi-3 effi cient manngemeut and bis kindly interest in the welfare of all those at the home. The premises looked so neat and clean, aDd those who live there seemed so contented and happy, that the ladies really , enjoyed the day very much, and 1 said, as they bade Mr. and Mrs. < Scurry goodbye, that they wauted j to come out again aud spend just , such another day. The world is 1 blind to the myriad opportunities j for service. "The poor ye have J always with you." Letter to Jas. Martin. Dear Sir: Have you found this ? out?

If the child urin ates too often, if the irlne scalds the flesh, or if, when the child .eaches an age when it should be able to ;ontrol the passage, it is yet afflicted with aed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of :he difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of :hesa Important organs. This unpleasant ?rouble is due to a diseased condition of the Kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
