Celebration at New Light.

Mr.. EDITOR On Thursday, the 9th ult.,
according to previous appointment, there
was a turnout Of the Division at New Light,
Wake County, and the citizens Of the vicin-
ity at the residence Of P. S. Rogers, Esq, to
listen to a discussion of the principles of
Temperance reform by the lecturer of this
District and others. The audience having
assembled, the opening ceremonies were per-
formed by the Rev. Mr.. Kennon, Chaplain;
after which a handsome copy Of the Bible
was presented to the Division, in behalf of
the Ladies, by Eugene Grissom, ofGranville,
and received On the part of the Division, by
Solomon Allen, Esq.
DR.. Hooker was then introduced and re-
sponded in a speech of great power and in
terest. He spoke prfaUfrFappesition
to the present license system and in favor of
Reform. His remarks were well received
and his arguments clear, forcible and con-
vincing.
The Rev. P. ". Archer was next intro
duced and addressed the audience for some
time in his usual inimitable style. It is use
less for me to attempt a eulogy upon his
speech. Those who heard this modern De
mosthenes" in the cause, we're involuntarily
forced to the determination g to go and fight
Philip" He did full justice to the subject
and high credit to himself.
1t is unnecessary to add that all seemed
interested on the occasion and every thing
passed of we'll.
All feel indebted to Mr.. Rogers and Lady
for their kind liberality in extending the hos
FATALITIES of their grove and mansion which
contributed so much to the comfort and con
v%enience of the occasion.

most bitter and determined opposition; bu

Jacobs Fork Division, in Catawha County,
was organized two years ago, numbering |
think Is charter members. We opened IN
the midst Of the most bitter opposition and
manyepredicted our early downfall but be-
ing true to the cause In which We were en-
gagged we have braved the StQrm n still
stand firm on the p1atforn1 absti-
hence. Most of the time the Division met
at the house of bro. Bradburn's, but feeling
that we were encroaching on the kindness of
this bro, the Division resolvedto build a Hall.
A few individuals in the neighberhood pro-
posed to build, in connection with the Hall,
a School Room, which was agreed to by the
Division. 20 this proposition some in the
neighborhood objected, but Notwithstanding
we made the effort and succeeded. On the
10th of June lastthe upper story was dedicated
to the trio of noble virtues, Love- Purity, and
Fidelity. Quite a respectable assembly be-
ing p~resent, all seeming to take q deep inter-
est in the exercises. After the Dedicatory
services they repaired to seats prepared in
the grove nearthe Hall, and listened to coed
speeches from bro. John Coulter, of South
Fork Division, and others.
Notwithstanding we still have opposition
we are increasing in number and mantully
battling for a prohibitory law, and our ,oppo-
sers have been driven to the last extremity,
that of down right lying But truth is nigh
ty and will prevail. There are many who do
/. not belong to us, but are with us in feeling
and sentiment and are giving us their inhn-
ence and their names to the mSnI1fial-and
we can look forward to the time as being net
far distant when the cid North State shall be
free from the CALLING yoke of King Alcohol

full. I watched with interest the hour when
these amphibians were flying from every d.
rection-and the ladies, with hoods and
shawls, closely yelled, perfect ~iRcognitos,
vending their way to the bath and there,
with shoulders bare, tresses loose, floating
upon the water, you would think them some
svren Of old-not the realities, who in lace
and silk, the night before, were tttwirling
the fantastic toe meath the bright chande-
lier. Soon they are metamorphosed again
you meet them at dinner, with rosy cheeks,
sparkling eyes and spirits light and free.
After a few days %soiourn at Old Point, we
left for Hampton-a village three miles dis
tant-and a very pretty village too. Our
boarding house was on an eminence right
above the water, commanding a prospect
sufficient to engage q painters pencil
Where the crowd was not so dense, more So
liability prevailed, and the amusements were
dancing, bathing and sailing excursions, by
moonlight and starlight. 7 was q happy
participant in one of these excursions, and
went some distance to a Fort away in the
sea, beyond the "Rip-Raps." Our little
boat was laden with many precious souls
and a thought and a sigh would often escape
shall we ever return? She treated us a:
tickle and as cruel as a cequette-dashing u
first on the brink of danger and despair
then throwing us upon a surface as calm. al
a summers breeze. But the God of th
wave permitted u to return safe and sound
I love the good spirit that pervades both lan'
and sea. ] know if I were to remain her
long, the roses would sit upon my cheek an
dimples upon every limb; but one of on
party has received sad tidings from home
causing an Immediate return and to-morroS
morning at four, we leave Hampton, perhap
forever.
The drive from Hampton to the wharf a

beauties and novelties, to me, particularly a

BURKE COUNTY, N. u, july ~, 1904.
We the United Baptist Church of Christ, at
Pleasant. Hill, now in Conference, take into consid-
GRAFTON an article which we find published in the
Ballot Box, copied from the Spirit Of the Age and
after due consideration agree to write to the Spirit
Of the Age, to correct the erroneous mistake and
saddle the right horse.
The article alluded to we find in the Ballot Box
as follows:
BURKE CoUNTY.-A writer informs the Spirit
offhe Age that some time in March, a young man
by the name of Kiah Smith was thrown from his
horse and killed, a few miles south of Morganton.
A hard shell Baptist had been treating a wedding
company with bald face, a number of whom be-
came .boisterously merry. On starting for home
Smiths horse became fractions and threw him a.
cross a log, from which he died in a few hours"
We the undersigned do certify that, from credit
able information, the said Kiah Smith was thrown
from his horse going to a wedding-that he Meth.
er bought any bald face from q Baptist, neither
was he treated by a hard she'll Baptist that day.
It was not a hard, but perhaps a soft shell that lie
him have the bald face which he got drunk on
which was the cause of his death; and your infor
former, Mr.. Editor, has sent you the wrong hors
to saddle. Therefore, we want you to unsaddle tn
hard shell, and put it on the soft shell, where tn
saddle will fit best.

Itake great pleasure in recommending them to the
public. I feel warranted in saying, that they are a
certain cure for liver complaints and all bilious dis
eases, no matter how difficult or long standing. I
myself was afflicted with this dreadful disease for
over two years, and oh how thankful I am that I
heard of these Pills. I purchased of one. of your
agents three boxes, and before I had finished the
third box, was completely cured. I verify believe,
but for DR.. MLane's Liver Pills, I should have now
been in my grave; but as it is, I am now enjoying
the best of health, and a living witness of the eff
| eiencyof DR.. M'Lane's Liver Pills. Besides recov-
ering my health, I consider that I have saved in
pocket some two or three hundred dollars physician
fees.
This testimony Igive you with the greatest pleas
ure, and hope it may do something towards making
these Invaluable Pills known to all who are suffer
ing with liver complaint.
