THOUGH HANDSOME BUILD ING IS COMPLETED. .,0 Dr H \V Mack, county superinten dent of education, Joseph M Moorer, Rs<j. an eloTjuent young lawyer of Walterlxrro, and W W Smoak. Jr. Ye editor, went to Ruffin last Thurs day on invitation from the Trustees of that school district, to f>e present at the dedication of the new school building. In extending the invita tion, the trustees stated that the patrons and friends of the school would assemble and a picnic dinner would be served on the grounds after the program of the day had been concluded. It was a source of keen regret that these plans miscarried, and that, owing to some misunderstand ing, no one turned out to hear the impassioned and eloquent addresses which would have made the vale ring. As it was, the speakers could only ‘‘view the landscape o’er" and look into the new school ..house through closed windows. There was a small balance due the carpen ter, and hrrefused to allow the de dicatory exercises to be held in the building till ha had been paid in full. According, Miss Emily Skxnan, the efficient and popular teacher, was using a spacious room at the resi dence of Mr W W Carter which had been fitted up for the purpoee. It was with pleasure, however, that these gentlemen learned before leaving in the afternoon that ar rangements had been made to finish paying off the indebtedness of the school and that school would be opened in the new building forth with. The new school house would be a credit to a much larger town than Ruffin. It is located rear the rail road, about 200 yards from the de pot. and isa well built and modern structure. It is large enough to accommodate an attendance of at a monument to the liberality of the patrons who contributed of their means to its erection. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my dear father, J A Platt, who pa>sed away July 21th, 1!M)0, had he lived until August 20th he would have been fifty years old. He had l>een >n failing health for a long time, but lung fever and other troubles hastened his end v He never murmered nor complained, but said the Lord’s will be done. His last words were “Give me rest,” and he passed away without a strug gle. All was done for him that loving hands and hearts and medical aid could do, but the good Lord saw fit to take him to rest. May the God of the fatherless and widow comfort us. He was a faithful member of the Methodist church about twenty-two years, and a kind and loving husband and father from us has gone. He was laid to rest at the old White church cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of rc tives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor. Rev Sam Yarn, assisted by Rev. J A Tuten. He leaves a broken hearted widow, two daughters, one son, one adopted son, six grandchildren, a mother, four sisters, end one brother to mourn his loss.

Women Suffer Agonies from Diseased Kidneys And Mott Women Do This Not Knowing the Real Cause of their Condition These poor, suffering women have been Jed to believe that their misery of mind snd body is entire ly due to “ills of their sex. M Usually the kidneys and bladder are re sponsible—or largely so. And in such cases, tbs kidneys and blad der are the organs, that need and must have attention. Those torturing, enervating sick beadacheg, dragging pains in back, groin and limbs, bloating and swell ing of the extremities, extreme nervousness or hysteria, listless ness and constant tired, worn-out feeling—are almost certain symp toms of disordered and diseased kidneys, bladder and liver. DeWltt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills have, in thousands of cases, been demonstrated as remarkably beneficial in all such conditions of female organism—affording the most prompt relief and permanent benefit. As an illustration of what these Pills will do, Mrs. P. M. Bray of Columbus. Ua., writes that she was very ill with kidney trouble, and that sbe ia now well—and that these Pills are what cured her. They are very pleasant to take, and can in no case, produce any deleterious effects upon the system —as syrupy, alcoholic, liquid prep- & in arations are apt to do. E. C.
