Roger*, dapped this life, u or more than a year . her. health had steadily declined, and during the weeks just preceding thc end she was a great sufferer. Before her marriage Mrs. Rogers was Miss Hattie Bell, the youngest child of the lamented Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bell. Though she was cut down in the prime of life, she had lived long enough to reflect the teaching, by example and precept, of her saintly parents. And we doubt not that, this the youngest member of a once happy, unbroken home eircle has joined her father and motlier in that upper and better land. God having called her, no human agen cy availed to prolong the life of Mrs. Rogers."Shehad the best medi cal skill, and friends and loved ones ministered to her unceasingly, but nothing could stay the hand of Death. The self-sacrificing devotion of her husband during her long and very trying illness was beautiful. Our Rehoboth, correspondent pays Mrs. Rogers a tribute, and writes of the funeral service in his letter this week. -rj Memorial Day Fittingly Cele brated at Johnston. Memorial Day was observed oh Tuesday afternoon with fitting ex ercises. A line of march' was formed'on lower main street, and all marched to cemetery where the graves of the departed heroes were decorated. The line of march was composed first of the carriages containing the speaker and other honored ones, then the school children, each bearing small confederate flags and garlands; next the D. of C., each wearing the chap ter badge, with the mourning side upward; then the veterans. A:cter the graves had been decorated, all repaired to the audi torium where the address of Miss Grace Lumpkin, of Columbia, was listened to. Miss Lumpkin is a rare and gifted orator for one so young, and charmed her hearers. Her youth ful heart is filled with patriotism-; and her address brought forth re peated applause. At the conclusion, she was presented with a hand paint ed picture of L?eV home, ''Arling ton," the work of one of the D. o? C., Miss 3Iarie Coleman, now de parted. The bestowal of the crosses of honor was next on program, five being given, on? of them being the cross won by the late Col. Jack Tompkins, and bestowed upon1 his eldest daughter, Mrs. F. M. Warren. One of the pleasant features of the afternoon was when the local president of the D. of C., spofce of this.day being the 88th birthday of Mrs. Angeline Bacon, the oldest member of the chapter. She was asked to come forward and was pre- : sented by Mrs. Eleanor Ivy yr-J a gift from the chapter, the bool: entitled, "The Women of the Con federacy:" Several patriotic^ songs were sung during the exercises, and "Nearer my God to thee" concluded the ex ercises.

Work Weakens the Kid^ neys. Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work, in Edgefield. Most Edgefield people work every day in ?orae strained, unnatural po sition-bending constantly over a desk-riding on jolting wagons or cars-doing laborious housework';; lifting, reaching or pulling, or tre ing the back in a hundred and on?, other ways. All these strains t?nd to wear, weaken and injure the kid neys until, they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's kidney pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Edgefield cnres prove it. Walter Dorn, Cedar Row, Edge field, S. C., says: '? used Doan's. kidney pills and consider them to be a fine remedy for any trouble aris ing from disordered kidneys. I was a victim of kidney complaint for a considerable length of time and my back often pained me so severely thai I could hardly do my work. The kidney secretions also passed too frequently and were unnatural. Upon learning of Doan's kidney pills, I procured a box and since using them, 1 have been free from pain irt my back and also from the kidney weakness." . For sale by all dealers.
