back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid

hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
Is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-

drag the body OF Edens from the

Wesley Williams, accompanied by
DR.. Morgan. Penn Knox. Bob Nc
Eachin and Albert Cunningham hur-
ried to the scene on special engine

Of the crime was that Edens remon-
strated with the unknown for having
bothered some negro women, where
upon the unknown turned and shot
Edens dead. The bullet struck in the
left eye and probably came out behind
the ear, as DR.. Morgan was unable to
find an outlet after careful examina-
ton. on account of the body and head
being SO badly mutilated.
The sheriff at Tupelo was imme-
diately wired by Mr.. Williams as soon
as he found the crime had been com
mitted out of his jurisdiction.
