yir 15row 11 was a son ui me mic ju a
Brown and was 52 jears of age, having
been born in Williamsburg
county, near Cedar Swamp, on De
cember 19, 1851. He was marriec

' annual meeting of bank of
!| KiNGSTFEE STOCK-HOLDERS.
Affairs of Kingstree's Bank in SplenI
did Condition?A New Direc|
tor Chosen.
1 The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of Kingstree
i was held in the office of the directors
on January 1, and a report of
j the bank's financial condition was
j submitted. The affairs of the bank
were found to be in excellent condition,
the first year's business showing
a net profit of 18J per cent It
was voted to pay a dividend of 5 per
cent to the stock-holders and to
place the balance in the reserve
fund to strenghten the resources of
the bank.
It was decided to increase the
board of directors to five and Mr R
H Kellehan was elected as the new
director. The board of directors
now stands as follows: Henry P Williams,
John A Kelley, R D Rollins,
D C Scott, and R H Kellehan. The
directors and every one interested
' have just cause to feel proud of the
splendid showing made by the bank
at the close of the first year or its
existence and under the present
management it is safe to predict that
this institution will continue to
flourish and increase in strength.
Every one in the county who has
idle money should deposit it in our
home bank and the gangs of burglars
which seem to be operating
through the country would soon
fiiid their occupation gone so far as
Williamsburg county is concerned.
Besides a fire proof vault and a
burglar proof safe, "to make assurance
doubly sure" the bank carries
a heavy burglar insurance.
OUGHS AND COLDS IN* CHILDREN.
Recommendation of a Well Known
Chicago Physician.
I use and prescribe Chamberlain's
> Cough Remedy for almost a!! obstinate,
, constricted coughs, with direct results.
. I prescribe it to children of all ages.
Am glad to recommend it to all in need
and seeking relief from colds and
" coughs and bronchial afflictions. It is
non-naicotic and safe in the hands of
r the most unprofessional. A universal
. panacea for all mankind.?Mrs. Mary

trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miserable
with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
