All the blood in your body passes through vour kidneys once every three minutes. blood purifiers, they fil ter out ;he waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys.

A birthday re union was held ou the 29th of Jan 1902. at the home of Wesley Harrill, Cleveland Coun ty. N. C, said day being the 80th birthday of BURWELL BLANTON HARRIS. This honored and useful gentle man was born in South Carolina near the Cleveland county line, and was married to Miss Margaret M. Bridges Sept. 20, 1844. His children are all living 5 in num ber and are all happily married, and to them have been born 25 children now living, so that Mr. Harris' grandchildren are not very numerous, and he has but 2 great grandcbildreu. Not all of his pos teritv was at this pleasant gather lug. The day was bleak, the roads were bad. It was a pleasure to note the deep interest on the one hand of a man full of years, of the ups and downs, the joys and sor rows of life, in the welfare of the young, and on the other band, of the love, the attentive interest of children, of the youug men and maidens, of the youthful and vi vacious, for the pleasant old gen tlemau who sat in the corner, there in a chair by that well laden table, and then in the parlor while the devotional exerciseB were being held. Ah ! life is worth living when sush conditions as those exiBt. Mr. Harris moved from South Carolina and settled on Sandy Run in Cleveland County in 1861. He has been a farmer all of bis life. " i A u B tne left, acd has been successful. proving that the tiller of the soil can live a happy, useful life, and that the means thereby obtained when properly and economically administered, will enable him to bring up a posterity honorod and respected. Mr Harris conuected himself with the Camp Creek church in 1352, and transferred his member ship to the Sandy Run church upou moving into Cleveland county. He wa3 made a Deacon at the former church, and he has filled that office ; worthily to this day at the latter, i though not now able to atteud his ; church meeting regularly. ! Bro. Harris never was forward in church and denominational ! work, but his fine religious charac ! ter, his general poise aud physical . bearing, his real good sense, bleud i ing withal a conservative attitude : towards everybody and everything I has made him useful, and he has : ben in demand in various ways in the work of his church, aud iu the associations. He never has credit ited himself with half the good that he. has done the cause of re ligion. He has been a great friend to the preachers, his doors were always open to them, and his heart too, a thing not always true. He ha3 been a help to the writer, when he wa9 not aware ot it At Mount i Pleasant, the writer's first charge, ; he often f It the ne- d of Bonn ouh i to sympathize with hiou, eotn- one to lean upon. With a burdeuHd heart he would stand, or set in that little boxed up pulpit, the congre gatiou .would bo assembling. tLe hou9o was filling up, some familiar tune would be raised and suug to an old familiar hymn, then he would see Bro. Harris enter the house, and with a diguified tread come to the front Beat on the right of the pulpit, take a place as a hearer beside Uncle Moze Ham rick aud others, adjust himself to hbar the sermon on ! how his presence did help, and as the ser vices advanced and Bro. Harris showed some signs of interest aud tenderness" he never dreamed that he was an Aaron, or how inspiring the young fellow in bis weak and stammering effort. j Does the Kind reader blame me for calling attention to this and other good parts and traits of char acter in Uncle Burwell, when we assembled, to sing ard pray, and talk about the life and iufluence of this good man. Of course I must Bpeak of tbem to his children, grand children aud friends. That was a sweet and tender oc casion. Mrs. D. F. McSwain per formed on the organ and led the singing, and as we entered the par lor struck upc On Jordan's stormy banks I stand i Aud cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions lie " We sang ''Jesus Lover xf My Soul," and other good songs, hearts grew tender, eyes were suffused with tears, and prayers were offer ed which we hope the Lord will answer. Mrs . Harris died 13 years ago, since which time Mr. Harris has lived with his children. For four years he lived with Mr. Harrill and his wife, since that time has spent a few weeks consecutively with each child and family. May his last years be full of peaoe and pleasure, aud may his mantle fall upon his posterity and be worthily worn by his descendants. Incidentally I want to say that three men sat side by side at that reunions whose ages are as follows : B. B. Harris 80, Bryson Love lace 82, Wm. Green 79. Total 241 years. They have been neighbors many years, are all deacons in the Baptist denomination- these good men. L. C. Ezell; The woman who rides on a pass ought to be passing fair. Does a standing army ever occupy the seat of war? The City of Lynchburg. MR. A. V. WBAY WRITES ENTKRTAIH INOLY OF THX PLACE AND OTHER THINGS OF INTETEST. Editor Star : You will find en closed two dollars for my two years iubscriptlour and I think if I got as much in return for all I spend as I did that $2 00 I would be con siderably better off. It never occurred to me that I might write anything that would be of interest to The Star's read ers, but since you mentioned it, I will endeavor to give vou a few dots on the Hill City, in which I am now situated. Lynchburg is a city of 25,000 inhabitants and is located on the western bank of the mighty James, some sixty miles north of Danville Va., aud 210 miles north ot Char lotte N.C. It well deserves the name given it above aud tho best description I can give you of its hills is what the negro iu a min strel show got off one night. It was the first town he had ever seen where you had to clime eight flight of steps to get into a man's cellar. Lynchburg is a . city of great wealth, only one city in the United States of greater' wealth than it ac cording to its population It is a fine railroad centre, con nected to tne surrounding country by the Southern, Norfolk and Wes tern and Cesapeak and Ohio Railway, also the mighty James. It affords one of the most convenient street railways of any city in ths south, operating cars every six minutes We are blessed with ex cedent water. James river straight is better than XXXX quality of N. C corn It is one of the leading jobbing towns of the South and travels nearly one thousand men. There are at least four houses thct do a million dollar business. The largest wholesale shoe house in the south is situated here. There are also two Bhoe factories here. It rauks with Winston and Durham as a tobacco town. She possesses three parks the Rivennont, the Reservoir and the City Park. The latter having a little zoo, which any city in the south could be proud of. She can boast of having three of the most beautiful churches in Virginia two of which costs $20 000 each. We have had snow and ice for eight days and men and women, all have left the walks aud got in the middle of the street where the hors: s had broken snow and ice. Some one told a good one on a cer tain mau iu the city, said he start ed up one of the hills and begun slipping backwards aud slipped a block before he could find somo- thn.g to catch hold of. Tne city use9 four million gal Ions of water daily so you see we have great faith in the James. We are oc direct route from the north and can get New York papers by two o'clock. Wo can run over to Washington in four hours. As to the people a more clever or hospit able one could not be found on this terrestial globe of course present' company excepted. With best wishes to The Star and its readers. A. V. Wrav. North Carolina Booklets Wanted. Secretary T. K. Bruner writes from Charleston, S. C, to the Charlotte Observer.
