FRANKLN.-While. the rain was falling
last Saturday, reviving exhausted-nature and
imparting renewed life and vigor to every
thing, we of Flat Rock Division ware engaged
in a noble and soul-cheering wors. That day
was previously selected by US to nave a Tenn
perance celebration. About ten O'Clock the
Division met to make some necessary arrange
ments, and to initiate into our Order some
persons who had presented themselves for
that purpose. Three were initiated, and one
received by card. Scarcely had we finished,
ere three more presented themselves for the
same purpose By this time the rain was
pouring down having waited until nearly
one o'clock for it to cease, we concluded to
push through the rain to the residence of
Bro. Freeman, a few hundred yards distant,
where the necessary arrangements for the
celebration had been made. When we reach
ed there, VIC found, contrary to our expecta-
tons, quite a respectable crowd assembled.
Dinner was soon announced. After it was
over, the crowd were assembled in the dwell
ing house of Bro. F. when Rev. j. S. Purefoy
! delivered one of the most convincing temper
ance speeches | have ever heard. 1t was not
of the superficial kind, so prevalent among
speakers nowadays, but was replete with plain,
practical reason, adapted to the understand
ing Of the most ignorant. 1t was emphati-
cally the speech for the mass of the people

Martin Of our Division, succeeded Bro. Pure.

all three of the addresses, but / am already

When speaking was over, we again repaired
to the hall, and three more petitions, W la

in all, TEN accessions during the day.

feel that they can afford them for such q purpose,
there may be no hesitationsons the part OF D1vis-

Of their smallness for each additional contribu-

THE OPINION OF z q

YIN
Show an American any invention, from a
political constitution to a patent rat-trap, and
his first impalse win be to search for its de-
his next, to improve upon it. Ifhow-
ever. he finds i peyfect-capable Of perform
ing all that is claimed forit-invaluable, unim-
provable-he acknowledges the corn, " adopts
the article. whatever it may be, and renders
due honor to the inventor. This trait In our
national character is signally illustrated in
the boundless popularity of Professor HoLLo-
WAYS remedies in this country. When they
were first advertised IN the United States,
half the world had already approved them.
The leading governments of Europe, public
institutions, and eminent scientific men had
endorsed them. But these credentials were
not sufficient for tsBrother Jonathan" He
must try them in the crucible of expel iment.
The results were in the highest degree sat
isfactory. Dyspepsia, bilious complaints, af-
~fectisns- of the bowels, all the painful and
dangerous varieties of internal disease dis
appeared, invariably, under the operation of
the Pills while external disorders, and the
effects of external injuries, were rapidly and
uniformly removed By the application of the
Ointment. This was demonstration. The
national mind, was convinced. Enthusiasm
replacedidoubk.
We presume that the establishment in
New York of a central depot for the sale of
his remedies in the United States, has been
the means of adding very considerable to his
princely fortune; but ifithas been a pecunia-
~ benefit to him, it has been a benefit
which money cannot measure to thousands
of our suffering falloW-c4isens. The Oint-
ment and Pills are now accessible to people
of every class, in every Pct ofthe Union, and
the amount Of good they have accomplis he'd
may be estimated from the fact, that almost
without exception. the newspapers and 9TH
er periodicals have published statements Of
cures effected by their operation, and backed
the statements by editorial declarations Of
their authenticity. This is a mass of evi-
dence not to be controversial or shaken. 1t
is rock of truth against. which the waves OF
professional prejudice beat in vain-N. T.

THE GROVER & BAKER

HAVING greatly increased their facilities for
: manufacturing their CELEBRATED FAM
LY MACHINES, with all the recent improve
ments, have reduced their prices, and offer for
sale A NEW STYLE MACHINE. PRICE $50.
1t is no longer questioned that these Machines
are the best in use for family sewing. They hem,
fell, gather and stitch in the most superior man,
ner, and are the only machines in the market that
are SO well and simply made, that they may be
sent into fami les with no other instructions than
are contained in a circular which accompanies
each machine, and from which a child ten years
may readily learn how to use them, and keep them
in order. They make upwards of fifteen hundred
stitches a minute, and will do the sewing of a fam
lily cheaper than a seamstress can do it, even if she
works at the rate of one cent an hour.
Is there a husband, father, or brother in the
United States, who will permit the drudgery of
hand sewing ia his family, when a Grover & b.
ker Machine will do it better, more expeditiousIy,
and cheaper than can possibly be done by hand /?
