CARTER's CREEK, Feb. LIT is with
sincere sadness that write a short
tribute to the memory of Mrs. Eula
Jones Nichols. wife of Mr.. s. b Nichols,
who died Feb. IS, aged thirty-fve years,
Very early in life she became mem
her of the N. T.. Church, and lived a
pure and noble Christian life. Her life
was like the unseen fragrance of a
flower-gentle, yet penetrating, and far
reaching in its influence. She was con-
stantly going about doing good; the
poor, the sick, the sad and the suffering
ones were made glad by her presence.
In her home she was a devoted wife
and to her husband, heaven is surely
nearer and dearer, since it is now the
abode of his precious wife. Beside the
husband, father, brothers and sisters
she leaves host of friends to mourn
her death, for to know her was tC

he made his headquarters on our boat,

showed me q copy of his report on the
sinking of the "HousatOnic," in which he
expressed the opinion that ''the torpedo
boat went into the hole made in the
"Housatonic' by the explosion of the tor
pedo, and did not have sufficient power
to back out, consequently sank with her.
Immediately after this disaster outlying

In fact. these guards around the Con-
federate 'Albemarle' did not for a mo-

great rush over the heavy logs that sur
rounded her in the following May, in his

liberately lowering against the great
ships side his missile and sending her
to the bottom. Even with discharges OF

gradually by further development led the

Thousands OfWOmen HaVeKidney
Trouble and Never Suspect it.
SWAMP
Women, as Well as Men, are
Made Miserable by Kidney
and Bladder Troubles.

1t used to be considered that only uri-
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
have their beginning in the disorder OF
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work So when your kid
neys are weak or ont of order YOU can
understand how quickly your entire body
is affected, and how every organ seems
to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin
taking the famous new discovery, DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. 4 trial
will convince anyone.
Many 1comeH sufer untold misery be-
cause the nature of their disease IS not cor
rectly understood; IN most cases they are
led to beiiere that lroHt5 trouble or female
,0edkness OF some sort is responsible for
their many ills, lChen in fact disordered
kidneys are the CHIEF cause Of their distress
ing troubles.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache. puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
tism, dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing down sensa-
tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine,
with strong odOr, frequent desire to pass
it night or day, with scalding or burning
sensation-these are all unmistakable
signs of kidney and bladder trouble
If there is any doubt iH your mind as
70 your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in
a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty
four hours. If on examination it is
milky or cloudy, if there is brick-dust
settling, or if small particles float about
in it, your kidneys are in need of iu,me-
diate attention.
Other symptoms showing that you need
Swamp-ROOt are sleeplessness, dizziness,
irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, ,sun-
healthy complexion, plenty of ambition,
but no strength.
Swamp-RO is pleasant to take and is
used in the leading hospitals, recommend
ed by physicians in their private practice,
and is taken by doctors themselves, be-
cause they recognize in it the greatest
and most successful remedy that science
has ever been able to compound.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-RoOt is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one
dollar bottles at the drug stores every
where.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l notice
i'll the issue of Aug. 90, 1901. that Com
radc II, II. Thornton, First Lieutenant of
Co. u, 1st Ky. Cav. claims all the honor
of capturing the Sd Ga Cav. at New
Haven, KY, in 1862. will give the cor
rect account of the whole transaction.
While our cavalry force, under command
of Col. Kennctt. of the 4th Ohio Cav,
lay at EliZabethtown, KY, on Sept. %.
1862. about p. m. a citizen and his SER
want came riding into camp, and as they
passed me the boys began to hallow,
"There goes Gen. Burnside and his Adju-
tant."
A few minutes later officers call was
was sounded, and presently they came
back, and company assembly was
sounded in the 2d Ind. Cav, list Ky. Cav.
and one battalion of the Sd Ky. Cav.
We were ordered to draw one DAVIS
rations for ourselves, forage for our
horses and 60 rounds Of ammunition, and
be ready to march at 8 o'clock that night.
The command moved out on time in the
following order: The LIST KY. in advance,
the 3D. Ky. next, with the I'd Ind. in the
rear.
Neither Col. Wolford nor NlcCook went
with the command. hence Lieut.. Col. r.
r. Stewart, Of the I'd Ind, being the rank
ing officer, was in command, with the two
citizens as guides and a third citizen to
help the rebel outpost pickets to watch
for our coming. This third man with a
jug Of applejack had previously Joined the
rebel outpost, and when our advance
guard came up, the two pickets were
asleep and the "other fellow" was not
hard to take in.
We then went down onto the Louisville
and Nashville Pike and took the reserve
| We then had about two miles to 20, with
the town of New Haven to 20 through
As we passed through the town, the 1st
Ky. Cav. went to the left and the Sd Ky
| Cav. to the right to surround the Sd. Ga
Cav, and this brought the I'd Ind. Cav
right up the Pike into the camp, and Col
Stewart called to the Johnnies to know
where their Colonel was, or who was in
command in this camp. A genuine But
ternut says, "Over thar he lays. under
that beech tree" Col. Stewart said
Half dozen of you come over here" We
went, and Col. Stewart said, "HalIoo
Colonel, get up and surrender this com
mand." He jumped up and said, "I sur
render this command" Now, this is the
way the Sd Ga. Cav. was captured.

him in a garden pulling weeds. Not a
shot was fired; no blood was shed. In
passing a log house we were charged by a
bob-tailed little yellow dog. He dashed
at us bravely as would Custer or "Jeb''
Stuart. One of my men was in the act
of repelling the charge with his bayOnet,
when the old lady of the house appeared
at the door. Pushing her brass-framed
'.specks" to the summit of her head, and
removing her clay pipe from her mouth,
exclaimed: la, boys, don't be afraid of
Sancho. He won't bite 'nuthin' but bread

what as follows:
Some time in the Fall of 1863, while
what was left of our brigade was sta
toned at Plymouth, n. c., the Lieuten-
ant Colonel of our regiment came to my
quarters and informed me that Gen. Wes-
sells wanted to see me. Reporting to
"Old Pap"-the name by which all the
boys affectionately called the General
he told me that there were two Confed-
crate soldiers at home on furlough about
10 miles beyond our lines, and that he
wanted me to take 13 men and go and
bring those rebs into camp. He also gave
me a guide, brother to one of the men
whom l was to arrest" Now, the
country was infested with what we called
'guerrillas;' that is to say that along the
