s. 1t docs not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow checks, the sunkon eyes, tho dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip colored complexion indicates it,
\ A physician would ask if you had
1rheumatism, n dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, or burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it
must be at once repeated, or If tho urine
has brick dust deposit or strong odor
p Whom these symptoms arc present, no
time should be lost in removing tho cause
I. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, Inflammation, causing stop
page, and sometimes requiring the draw
ing Of the urine with Instruments, or
may run into Bright's disease, tho most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, tho great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is n positive remedy
for snch diseases. It's reputation is
worldwide, and it is so easy to got at

ground this morning boJween and 8
O'Clock. The flames were discovered by
tho sleeping inmates by reason of the
smoke and heat, but luckily in time to
save themselves as well as some of the
furniture and household effects. The
aged General had been unwell for sevoral
days and had to take to his bed. He was
unable to walk and had to be carried out
of tho burning house by colored men
who had been aroused, and placed in q
chair at safe distance away, where he
sat and witnessed tho flames slowly de-
stroy his dwelling and much of it's vei1a-
bic contents. The fire originated at
about tho samo place it did twice re-
cently, kitchen part, one Of which incipi-
ent fires the aged warrior himself stop
ped. The fire may have boon of incen-
diary origin, though it is thought that
moro liltely 1t originated from kitchen
fire. Tho fire was discovered by the
General, who saw light which at first
appeared to him as being the break of
day. IIo h0bbled to door and found
tho whole house ablaze. Among the
losses wore soTe valuable historical and
personal papers kept in u desk. The
library consisted of about 1000 volumes
and some of tho books burned cannot be
replaced, among them boing one printed
few years after the invention of tho
printing press. The General had very
valuable English saddle which no used
throughout tho war and which ho priced
very highly. This was lost. Much of
the family silvorware was lost. There
was not cont of insurance. General
Hampton is living temporarily in small
house on tho premises. Tho greatest
sympathy was expressed by everybody
over tho serious loss to the General, and

ately began talking of building him an
