Hart, who com manded the famous “Hart's Buttery during the war, was in the city last Friday, he was enquiring for one of his men named Blackwell, who went from this section, and said the fol lowing of him : “After the Gettysburg campaign in 1SG‘3, it became necessary to fill up the ranks of my battery with con scripts to replace men killed and dis abled. Twenty or more were sent me from South Carolina. Among the number was Blackwell, from near Cowpens battle ground. “In the first engagement we had after these men came, I noticed that Blackwell’s sleeve was bloody, show ing that he was wounded. I told him to go back and have his wound dressed, but he begged me to let him stay with his gun detachment and finally said, when ordered back, ‘Cap tain these men have been calling me a d—d conscript ever since I’ve been here and I want to show them that if I didn’t come first, I can stick as long as they can.’ “No better soldier than Black- well was with me during the remain der of the war.” Maj. Hart could not recall Mr. Blackwell's given name though he had it at home. The Maj. would be glad to hear from him. *4* Letters of Administration. oogh Syrup. In time.

The burial services were conducted by Rev. Pinckney Welchell. Mrs. Wright was a lady of fine so cial and Christian qualities. She leaves a husband and many friends sadly bereaved. One of Two Ways. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle tor the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except hy one of two ways'. The tirst way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, hack, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error Is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi ment or settliu" indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great kidney, and bladder remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

My health was so much impaired that I was advised to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla to build me up, and I bought six bottles. Before I had taken half of this amount I found that I was improving. I could rest belter at night, and felt refreshed in the morning. I gained in flesh and when I had finished the six bottles the sores on my face had all disappeared.” J. B. Bod- die, Postmaster, Nashville, No. Carolina. “ After suffering from a sore leg for 25 years, four bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla made a complete cure. It is several years since 1 took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, but I have not suffered with any sore or erysip elas in that time.” Mrs. M. J. Hartley, Lovett, Georgia.
