Do You Get Up
With a Lame Back ?
Kidney Trouble Makes Tou Miserable.:
Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, be
cause of its remark*
able health restoring
operties. ? Swamp
Root fulfills almost
every wish in over
coming rheumatism,
pain in the back, kid
neys, liver, bladder
and every part of the
urinary passage. It
corrects inability to
hold water and scalding pain in passing it,
ar bad effects followinguse of liquor, wine
ar beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
through the d&y, and to get up many
times during the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you have kidney, liver
ar bladder trouble, it will be found inst
the remedy you ne?d. It has been thor
oughly tested in private practice, and has
proved so successful that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readeis of this paper, who have not ali
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent free by mail, also a book telling
more about Swamp-Root, and how to
rind out i f you have k id
ney or bladder trouble.
When writing mention
reading this generous
offer in this paper and S
send your address to".v, _

Card of Thanks.
We are very grateful to our
friends and neighbors foi* their
thoughtful kindness to us during
the recent illness and death of our
loved one James Freeland. We

First Honor Graduate.
v We congratulate our fair young
friend and neighbor, Miss Ellen
Dunovaut, upon the splendid record
she has made ait the College for
Women.. ^Sorne time - ago she was
elected president of her class and
was during the past session business
manager of the college annual, but
greater than all of these honors was
the position she occupied in her
class. Of the sixteen who gradua
ted last week, Miss Ellen was the
first honor graduate. Any young
lady should be very proud of a di
plomafrom the College for Wo
men but to hold one as a graduate
with highest honors is one to be
coveted. Again we extend sincere
congratulations. Buncombe, Pig
Town-and all Edgefield-welcome
her home-coming most cordially and
affectionately.
Death of Mrs. Guerard.
As announced briefly last week
Mrs. Charlotte S. Guerard died in
Savannah early Wednesday morn
ing, June 1st Her remains, accom
panied by her nephew, Mr. William
Guerard, at worse home she died,
were'brought to Edgefield Thurs
day aftefnooon and laid to rest in
the family buriar ground near the
home that she loved so well and in
which,.she had passed so many hap
py years. Rev. Royal Shannon
house conducted the funeral.
. Mrs.\ Guerard waa a woman, of
unusual force and strength of mind.
Her life was one of Christian ser
vice. In the benevolent work of her
church, Trinity Episcopal church,
she easily ranked among the lead
ers. Her wise counsel and -well poised
judgment were sought and deferred
to whenjany new enterprise or work
was to be undertaken. "Mrs. Guer
ard will be greatly missed, in the
hvitrtej but nowhere will the loss
?.-vcasioned by her death be more
cuehly felt than among her co
\rorke#s of Trinity church.
' Before her marriage to Capt. Ed
gar L. Guerard, she was Miss Char
lotte Strother and is survived by
two brothers, Messrs. Julian R.
and David Strother Mrs. Guerard
was in her 59th year at thc thc time
bf lier death.
Mrect Upon in the D ?rk.
A dastardly deed was the attempt
to kill Mattie Oliphant, the colored
woman who -cooks for Mr. and Mrs.
John B. Hill, on Wednesday night,
June 1st. She, in company with J
several Other colored people, was j
on her way to attend night ser-j
vice . at Pleasant Grove church,
As they turned out of the
road to enter the church ground,
some one fired upon Mattie. A shot
gun w,as used but the. shot were
small and the distance too far to do
very serious damage. Every ef
fort'is being made to apprehend
the would-be murderer,
