Mr M C Hammond, who is Constable for Magistrate A 1) Jackson in Floyd's township, arrived in Conway early yesterday morning with a boy named Cl ifton Ivy charged with assault and batery of a high and aggravated nature upon a boy named Nuna Watts on the day .v before.

You know what that means if you have ever eaten many times in the country where pumpkin grows, chickens roost low, sausage ground and turkey gobbles. In the shooting match no one drove the peg All did well, however, except Spar km an and his gun was by shooting like he was by marrying, never so much as popped the can. ? ? I' A straw ride, something a little now for this part of tho country, was arranged for at this stage of t he game. This preparation was made by hooking two mules each to some wagons, placing some straw in the body and then tilling them piling full of girls and boys and driving to goodness knows where and back, The party, each and all of us, congratulated ourselves on having had Miss Edith (Jregg, of Marion, S C., who is principal of the Cool Spring High school, as oui chaparone. We alt feel sure that Miss Gregg enjoyed the ride, pastimes, and pleasantry as much as any child on the wagon. On returning to Mr Uncus' we found that others had collected in from a greater distance around and still they continued to come until possibly a hundred could have been numbered. Music was furnished by the girls, innocent games played by all and last, but no least, fruit was served. The entire number tender thanks to Mr Hucks and family for inaugurating this rod letter day, and with all good wishes, we a m yours socially One Hundred. Paso. Editor Herald: ?

Gerrald, It was a col windy day and the little fellow ran away from his parents and went to the house to warm caught lire and was burned nearly to death when they heard his cries. The doctor was called at once but it was all in vain. Little Stanley was a loving child and thought well of by all. He was only four years old but was a bright child for his age. A Friend.

Sad Dcatli of a I.ailv The community was saddened last Sunday bv the untimely death of Mrs I Jessie Harrison Dusenbury at her homo at Pot BlulY, six miles from Conway. She was in hcriMth vcar and leaves her husband, Mr W. K- Dusenbury and six children ran# in# from IS months of a#e to about 111 years. The deceased was a daughter of the late Win. 11. and Joanna Harrison and was born on June 11th, A. D. 1875. Her mother v ith two sisters, Mrs J. T. Proctor and Mrs S. P. Gasque, and four brothers, K K. Harrison, Daniel Harrison, Benjamin and Dock- survive her She was married to W. K Duscnburv on February ttrd, 1802 and died on November 20th at 0:10 o'clock. The taking of one this early in life is sad under any circumstances but in hers, considering her lovable and kindly nature, the occurrence is inexpressibly sad. She was a member of Union Methodist church and a true Christian, ever faithful to all religious demands and faithful and true to her family, relatives and friends. Her character was, in every respect, the very highest. Hi r Mature was always loving and kind Of a gentle disposition and gonial character her bright smile and kindly greetings will be sad I v missed by those who knew her and loved her. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do was done to arrest the fatal illness, which at last claimed her in obedience to the divine power above, llis will must be done. Her remains vers laid to rest on Monday afternoon in the burying ground at Union church in the presence of a large gathering. In the absence of the minister of her church the funeral services were conducted by the Rev A. S Doak of the Presbyterian church here. (MUTUARY. Lousianna fleniford, born February 11th, ISTti and died November 24th, m 12:45 p. m* She was the wife of James A. Heniford and the daughter of Levi C Ciermld. She was married January 4th, 1890 and leaves a husband, two children, t vo brothers, one sister, live half-brothers, two half-sisters, a step-mother and own father besides a host )f neighbors to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those having no U OL. - ! ' uu|ju. one was u cunsistun t> member of Pleasant Homo Baptistehureh and a dutifiH wife and mother and was loved by all who knew her. It seems sad indeed to part with such a noble woman, and especially so to the husband who did all in his power, with the aid of loving friends and physicians to relieve her sufferings. May we u:l bow to the will of the Lord, who doeth all things well, remembering that she can't come back but wo can see her again at some future day. We pray lue Lord that this bereaved husi tod may b<- spared to raise the two orphan children to love the Lord and all together be joined again as one family circle some sweet day beyond this world of misery and trouble.

He was during the the last year of hi' life unusually interested in the mystery of death, Heaven and the suioit world, etc , and would so often question his teachers regarding these things. We so little thought that ho would so soon bo (called to see and know for himself I what it is to be there. Therefore | bo it resolved 1st?That we humbly bow in submission to the decree of an all wise loving Father who dooth all things well. 2nd?To tho sorely stricken family we tender our heart felt sympathies and earnest prayer that He who has smitten may bind up the broken hearts. 3rd?That we know that little Wilbur has been taken to the throne of tho Almighty King of kings whore he will be forever "safe in the arms of Jesus." 4th?That a copy of these resolutions be transcribed on the minutes of our League a copy sent to the Epworth Era, Southern Christian Advocate and the county papers.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. t Tticir l!iiccu?liij( Work Kccp? Us Stronir and Healthy. Vll the blood in the body passes through tho kidneysoncecverythree minutes. The kidneys filter the olood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. Hiis brings on many diseises and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skins rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorder, disorders of the eyesightand hearing dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. Hut if you keep the filters right you will have no troublo with your kidneys. Mrs R Hi Anderson, living in Conway, S. C., says: '[loan's Kidney Pills made me feel like a new woman and I am pleased to recommend them. For some time prior to procuring them at Norton Drug Co my back and kidneys had Deeti troubling me. There was aconstant aching through my loins*, a continual headache kept mo in misery, and my kidneys were very irregular in action, and forced me to arise often during the night. The secretions were dark in color and showed that .ny kidneys were disordered. After using Doan's Kidney Pills the aches and pains ceased, the headaches, and that tired, languid feeling disappeared and the kidneys became regular inaction. Iamable to rewt so much hotter at night and feel so much stronger that I cannot recommend Doan's Kidney Pills too highly as a remedy. For salo by all dealers.
