DEATHS HARVEST.
Mrs. Susie Daniel fowler.

The many friends of Mrs Joe fowler
were greatly shocked and deeply
grieved to hear of her death which oc-
Cured Wednesday morning at Price s
Infrmary, Philadelphia Mrs. fowler,
accompanied by Mr.. fowler went to
Philadelphia about two weeks ago, to
have an operation performed. After
the surgical treatment Mr.. fowler re-
manned until his wife was able to- sit
up in bed some and then being assured
by Dr. Price that all danger was past,
he returned home, arriving on the 3
0 clock train Wednesday morning.
About 9 o'clock a telegram came
from DR.. Price announcing Mis-. Tow,
ler's sudden death from heart failure.
The remains will not reach here
until Saturday morning at B O'Clock.
The funeral services will be conducted
at 2 O. CLOCK Saturday afternoon at the
First Presbyterian church, and the
burial will be ip Rose Hill cemetery.
Mrs fowler Vas one of the most
popular and beloved young women who
has ever made her home in Columbia,
and many hearts are heavy with an
unutterable sadness at the sudden end
ing of her bright young life. Young
and CHEEKY, pretty, bright and cordial,
she numbered among her friends all
classes and all ages. She enjoyed life
and loved to live; and yet she was
prepared fol death, and not afraid to
die To such an one the end is but
the beginning; the sleep of the body
but the resurrection of the soul. Pa
rents, husband and child survive her,
and how sadly she will be missed only
hearts that have ached like theirs car
tell. But with her all is we'll. Hel
sweet spirit will grow sweeter still
through countless years of endless ages,
while her frail, tired body is at rest.

VERDICT MEANT DEATH.

Aldrich, Mo-, May 27.-Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
a very severe case of Nervousness and
Kidney Disease. Each of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them, and instantly no
ticed change for the better. Her i'm
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance
of dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end Of talk in this
neighborhood, and all are loud in their
praises of this new remedy-Dodd's
Kidney Pills-which is curing SO many
hitherto incurable cases, in this state
and elsewhere.
