Mr. and Mrs. Driver moved to their farm (the old Duff McDonald homestead) about. 30 years ago from Anderson county, and she had spent these years here as a quiet, patient, motherly Christian woman, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The sympathy of this community goes out to the family in their bereavement. Mrs. Driver is survived by her hus band, R. F. Driver, six sons and one daughter, as follows: Jasper and Newton Driver, of Richland; Oscar and Olar Driver, of Westminster; Cowan Driver, of Georgia; Andrew Driver, of Pickens, and Mrs. Janies Wilson, of Clearmont. One daugh ter, Mrs. J. D. Wynne, preceded her to the grave about three years. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. L. M. Lyda, of the Baptist church, were largely attended. The six sons of the deceased acted as pall-bearers for this good woman, who well de served tho honored title of "a mo ther in Israel."

Reader. The frank statement of a neighbor, telling the merits of a remedy, Rids you pause and believe. The same endorsement Ry some stranger far away Commands no belief at all. Here's a Walhalla case. A Walhalla citizen testifies. Read and be convinced: Mrs. Ida Hellams, Factory Hill, Walhalla, S. C., says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family .with excellent results, and I know that they live up to the claims made for them. They were obtained from Dr. Bell's drug store and used for pains in the back and sides and trou ble with the kidney secretions. Com plete and lasting relief was received." Mrs. Hellams ls only one of many Walhalla people who have greatfully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Hel lams had-the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c, all stores.
