The ay beforo his death, he seemed [uite cheerful, and stated that he xpected to be out in a vory few ays.

Since March 1897, he had been onnoctedl with his brother,in-law . L. 0. Thompson in the publi ation of the Pickens Sentinel. Ie was also actively engaged in usiness with his father, under lie firm name of H. A. Richey & ons. le was a member of the town ouncil, and was its efficient clerk.

After brief funeral services at ho home, the remamna were taken ~harge of by his brother Masons if Keowee Loege, of which he was member, and interred with the olemn and beautiful rites of that noient and noble order. Seldom in the history of the own has a larger attendance gath 'red to pay the last token of re. pet to a departed friend. The sincerest sympathy of the ntire community goes out to the orely bereaved family.

Short of Breath, Faint and Languid. Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. "It has been five years since I was cured of heart trouble by your 1lcart Cure and Nerv ine, and I dm just as sound as a dollar in that organ today. For seviral years I had been suffering with my heart. Breathing had become short anl difficult at times, short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes accompaned with fluttering would make me feel faint and languid. The least excite ment or mental worry would almost unnerve mre. I felt that the trouble was growing worse all the time, and after trying many remedies prescribed by physicians without obtaining relief, I was induced to give your remedies a trial. I was relieved the second day, and after taking three or four bottles all symptoms were removed and have never showed signs of returning."--REv. oEo. W. KIRACOPE, Chincoteague, Va. , There are many symptoms of heart disease, which so closely resemble those of more com mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis. lead the attending physician. Often in cases of heart trouble the stomach. kidneys, liver or lnngs become Iffected. Again the symptoms may be those of weakened nerves, as tired feeling, sleeplpssness, tinwidity, the patient is easily excitable and apt to worry without cause. If you have the least suspicion that your heart is weak study your symptoms and begin the use of I)r. Miles' Heart Cure, the great heart and blood tonic, without a day's delay.
