tack the vital organs, causing catarrhof
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If You are feel
ing badly YOU can make no mistake by
taking DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized:
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DIR. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, n. y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp

CLINTON, n. c.,
March 20. 1904

The residence Of Mr.. II. Il.
Chestnut, on Main street, OCCUPIED
by Mr.. J. a. Wellons sud family.
VINO cime to Clinton from Fayette
vile, was totally destroyed by fire
isst night about 2 O'Clock. The
origin of The fire is not known and
had 1t not been for the arrival of
parties outside who broke open the
door, in all probability the entire
family OF Mr.. Wellors would have
been consumed by the flames. All
The furniture and contents Of the
house were lest. Not even clothing
enough to wear was saved. We
sympathise with this good family
In their great loss, but the good peo-
PIE OF Clinton, as usual, are rushing
TO their support and their needs are
being rapidly supplied. Dwelling
was insured TO amount Of $500.
Miss Katie Pigford, a most esti-
mabie young lady Of Clinton died
on Wede sday of last week. She had
been under the piercing hand of
affiiclion for many months and the
end was expected. She leaves three
brothers and step mother to mourn
their loss, which, no doubt, is her
eternal gain, for she had lived an
exemplary life.
Little Alice Wade, the only
laughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus M.
Faircloth, died last night from con.
sestion OF the brain. She had been
slightly sick for few days but it
was not thought to be serious. Last
night cOnvulsions set in and the
physician was summoned immedi-
ately, but all efforts TO save
were in vain. She was the idol Of
all who knew her, bright little
girl and almost worsl,ipped by her
mother and father, who are the
sharers now Of load Of grief that
1t seems is almost greater than they
can bear. Would that we could
help them carry their load. Great
is the burden of those who lose
their first born. We sympathise
with the father and mother and
her little brother who is too small
to know the weight of the
load that is upon them. Little
Alice was buried in the Clinton
cemetery the Goth day Of March,
1905, in the midst OF large gath.
ering Of friends and relatives.
The truckers around Clinton are
now making the carts and wagons
roar with heavy loads Of guano, and
every breeze you sniff-my! my!
what smell.

She then keeps him In tow while the

is fastened to the decoy's neck around

Something OF this kind Is done with

Siam when they are driven up for the

One of the great difficulties on tho
cattle ranches of the great West is
overcome by using bullock as I. ,e.

is impossible to compel them to do so.

the worst of the encounter. though the

The dog was carried TO the residence

cyclist. who had laid up at an inn in

The irate cyclist sent back the dlscour.
