One Of the Oldest aud Most Belored 1 Citizens or Laurens, His Death lias Brought Sorrow to Many Hearts. Mr. Harvey W. Anderson, one of Lauren*' oldest and tn >st esteemed cit izens, died at the family residence on Main Street, at 1 o'clock Saturday morning last, la February he had an attack of pneumonia and was very ill for two or three weeks. Aided by a strong vitality, he gradua'ly responded to the careful medioal treatment and nursing and was considered on the road to recovery. A week before his de mise, however, he suffered a relapse, complications of the heart and other organs immediately set in, and he steadily grow weaker from day to day, his condition becoming hopeless Frl - day night. Mrs. Johnston and Miss Pauline Anderson, daughters of Mr. Anderson, tho former tho wife of Con* gressman Joseph T. Johnston, who had returned to Washington after a long stay at their father's bedside, were re* called early In the wc-k, arriving on Tuesday. Mrs-. Anderson, who was Miss Amelia Richardson, and six children survive. The eldest daughter h the wife of Con gressman Johnson, and the eldest son is Mr. W. H. Anderson, who holds a responsible position with Davis. Roper & Co., and is a highly regard* young oitlr.en. Mr. Anderson was b jst known to the public as Laurens' postm ist,or aud his connection with the oflice began long before the war. He was Cleveland's appointee under his first administra tion, and during his second term Mr. Anderson wai assistant to Postmaster T. B. Crews. His father, Edward An derson, was postmaster back in the 10 's and 50's, but his son, Harvey Ander son, conducted the affairs of the oflice. It was in this capacity he was so well known and unlversal'y esteemed. He was ever considerate, painstaking, ob liging and efficient. Mr. Anderson was also engaged la mercantile pursuits at various times before and after tho Civil War. During the war, however, he was connected with the railway service, being engaged as conductor on the Laurens road. His rai'road du?'es wero discharged with the same courte ous manner and conscientious care that always characterized the performance of every service, public and private. Everybody was Harvey Anderson's friend?ho had no enemies. He was especially fond of children to whom he was greatly endeared by his kindly affectionate manner. He will be missed in the places where he had been so long and so faithfully Identified and all pay tribute to him In loving remembrance. He was a mem ber of the First Motho list. Ohurch and a strong, enthusiastic Mason. In point of service and efficiency his connection with Palmetto Lodge, No. 19, A. F. M. as Its time honored Secretary is per haps unexcelled, he having been chosen to this position in 1854 or 1855 and continuously tilled the place with the exception of one year, covering a period of nearly fifty years. The funeral which took place Sunday afternoon was one of the largest and most imposing seen in Laurens in a long time, The Masons had charge of the ceremonies. At 3 o'clock a short service was held from his late resi dence, conducted by Rev. W. B. Dun can, pastor of the First Methodist Church This concluded, the funeral procession was made up, the Masons marching at the head of the cortege to the cemetery, with a hundred and twenty men in Uno.

Roicue the aching back, If it keeps on aching, trouble comes, Backache is kidney ache, If you neglect the kidneys' warning, T?ook out for urinary trouble?diabetes, This Laurens cltlzsn will show you how to go to the rescue. James Vincent, mill hand, living on factory bill, says: Doans's Kidney Pills did my back and kidneys a lot of good. I have suffered for several years with backache and nobody knows what it is but those wbo have had it. I thought I was doomed to pass the ba'ance of my life with it, but I am thankful to say that since I used Doan's Kidney Pills I have not had the back* ach? once. Before I used them I had it about all the time, night and day, and the constant dull aching across the small of my back was sometimes so bad I could nob get about at all and it kept me awake all night. Nothing I did gave me relief although I did every thing I knew,put on liniments and wore flatters, but nothing helped me until got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Pal metto Drug Go.'a store. They did the work and cured me. Since taking thorn my health haa been better than during the past fifteen years. For sale by all dealers. Price 60 ceotic Footer-MUburn Co., Buffalo, N.
