~ The great drawback to rsons emigra.
ting to the extreme western cory, is the great
fear they have of the Fever and gue-the most
direfui of all diseases. Every Ay we hear of
persons attacked by this diseasdn nd made help
less in a short time, without any leans of afford
ing relief. In view of the grk demand for a
remedy, DR.. Hostetter has pressed his celebra-
ted " Bitters,' whose curative ukers for all dis
eases of the stomach have beehniversally ac-
knowledged. The "Bitters," repared after a
long experience and deep stud have received
the encomiums of the most emi4t physicians, as
well as all classes, from every p& of the country.
To those who doubt their many gtues, all we can
say is, to try them, and judge fda themselves re-
spectively.

After a long delay, occasioned by the fail
ure of Divisions to supply the funds, the Com
mittee of Colportage appointed at the last an
nual meeting of the Grand Division, are now
prepared TO commission Colporteurs and sup
ply Tracts for distribution. We have on
hand one hundred packages of the Tracts on
Temperance, published by the American
Tract Society, and seventy copies of the ITEM
perance Manual" Besides these, we have
ordered ten thousand Tracts published by
the American Temperance Union, and expect
to procure the publications of the Grand Di-
vision of South Carolina. These will proba-
bly, supply the present demand. We will add
to the stock as soon as cur funds will permit.
The G. ID. made it incumbent upon us to
appoint Colporteurs upon the nomination of
Divisions. We are now ready to receive such
nominations, and hope brethren will give this
subject their immediate attention. The state
of the Temperance cause in North Carolina
demands the personal attention of every Son
of Temperance in the State. Let us pour the
light Of truth upon the hearts and conscien-
ces of men, and we may hope for a revival of
temperance principles and temperance men.
The funds in the hands of the Committee
will not justify them in undertaking to pay
any part of the salary of Colporteurs at this
time. When our means will permit, the
plan contemplates the payment Of such sala-
ry, at least in part, by the Committee.
All communications on this subject must
be sent to the subscriber. Divisions will
furnishsp specific directions for forwarding pack
