Paschal D. Williams.
Paschal D Williams oue of High?
land's most worthy citizens whose
death was mentioned in our last is?
sue, was born Aug. 24, 1824, at the
old Williams homestead near Mc?
Dowell, the same farm on which he
Spent his whole life and where that
useful life was brought to a close.
Mr William's first wife was Miss
Elizabeth Radner of Augusta coun?
ty, and by this union there were
six children, four living, viz: L.
P. Williams, Fort Defiance, Va.;
George D Williams, Carleton, Mo.;
John S Williams, Spring Creek Va
and Mrs John Hawkins, Oklahoma
Ter.
His second marriage which was in
Dec. 'Cl, was to Miss Elizabeth
Good of Augusta county, who sur?
vives him. This union was blessed
bv six children, all living, viz:
Ashby J.; Wm. II rand Pearl Wil?
liams, Mrs John Swope and Mrs S.
H. Bishop of Highland and Mr Al?
bert Lowen bach of Harrisonburg.
Tiie remains wore laid to rest in
the Dayis burying ground, near the
home, his pastor, Rey M P Weikle,
of the McDowell Methodist church,
officiating. Just before the last
I annual conference he said to Mr.
j Weikle that he hoped that he would
return to the McDowell work that
: he felt he would be called onto
bary him before tne year was out.
Mr Williams led a consistent chris?
tian life and for a number of years
was a member of the church and to
ita support he gave not grudgingly
of hi. life and means.
As a kind husband and father he
will be missed in the home as a
helpful and generous neighbor he
will be missed in his community BS
a worthy and influential citizen he
? will be missed in his'county; but
11 he is gone aud many mourn be
'' cause of their great loss, yet what
? I is their loss is his gain.
No, Not of a Broken Heart.
Ko, poor o'd Charley did not die
from a broken heart because he
heard the rail road men talking so
favorably of a rail road being built
iirthis locality, but he and his com?
panions called a "mass meeting to
be held in a low place in the pas?
ture to discuss the matt.- The
speaker made such a fine address.
Ile pictured the advantages they
would receive by the rail road be?
ing built in such glowing terms by
telling them that instead of them
drawing heavy burdens across the..
mountains year in and year oat,
through heat and through cold,
through wet and dry, through dasi
and mud, they would fare like oth?
er farmer's horses, have more time
to luxuriate over these fine blue
grass hinds, especially of nights, in?
stead of being tied up all night tc
the wagon, or in the stable they
would bc- out in these nice blue
grass fields enjoying the life tha!
Nature's God had provided for then
By this time the party had becoroi
so ni uer. excited and overjoyed bj
the fine prospect of exquisite pleas
uri; that the whole party began ap
plauding by rearing and dancing
around, and poor old Charley not
being quite so active as he was in
his younger days slipped and fell
down in a low place in the cove
with bis back downhill, and it seems
that he could not turn ' : >- elf over
and there he laid kicking, pawing
and hiting at the earth, seeing that
without help all his future pleas?
ures are at an end, and so Ire yield?
ed up th' Ghost. VlCI.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set?
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi?
tion of the kid?
neys; If it stains
your linen it ls
evidence of kid?
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad?
der arc out cf order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, k'dneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary pa?age. lt corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
lt, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity cf being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra?
ordinary effect af Swamp-Root is soon
realized, lt stands the highest for its won?
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
be.t. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tellsi
mere about it, both sent|]
