Besides this he has a very promising crop of peas on the land which will yield about two tons of hay per acre. Not only does Dr. Smith fertilize abundant ly with the elements that feed and sustain plant life, but he also fer tilizes liberally with brains, using good Bound judgment in planting and cultivating his crops.

On Thursday last the sad news reached Edgefield tbatMrs. S. B. Mays was no more. -For a year or more a devoted husband and friends and many loved ones .had been auxious for ber recovery and until recently were not altogether hopeless of a return to health and strength, yet of no avail were all the tears, anxieties, and prayers. "He giveth his beloved sleep." The saddest picture of them all is the one of the children still left in the home, and the mother call ed upon to be the first to break the happy cirole. In the home of Col. Mays,"thore' is now no more the sound of a mother's voice.. The dear ono who has boroe ?he re sponsibilities ; all the weight of the childish sorrowR and perplexi ties; who bas sympathized in the joys of each, as no other can ; who bas encouraged faltering ambi tion and guided expanding judg ment-she has left them. Now the once happy home has iii it the vaoant plaoe, made vacant by the removal of the chief figure, the best beloved of them all. But all this ie not new or strange among the varied experiences of life. Such griefs are but the natural inheritance of mortals. The bereft family is not yet forsaken. The Friend that is closer than a brother will en compass thee about. "lu the hol low of biB hand will he hide thee."

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become SQ prevalent that it ls not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty sent and one dollar ? sizes.
