IL Che Friends Of Temperance.

Regarding THE Sons OF TEMPERANCE as
the best organization in existence for giving
efficiency TO the great Temperance Reform,
| am very DESTROYS to see Divisions of the
Sons organized in every county in North
Carolina. TO that endI wish to appoint, Nv
the authority Of the Grand Division, a ID. G.
w. Patriarch for each county, to take the
especial oversight If Divisions now existing,
ca revive those that have gone down, and to
establish new ones wherever practicable. |
woul bc glad to receive from membcrs of
the Order, or other friends Of the cause, the
names Of suitable gentlemen to appoint to
that office in the following counties, viz :
Ashe. BERTHE, Beaufort, Brunswick, Chowan,
Columbus, Carterct, Caswell, Currituck. Da-
wilson, Duplin, Edgecombe, Hartford, Hyde,
Jones, Johnston, Martin, Mcdowell, Mont
gomcry, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton,
OnslOw, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Person,
Robson, Rutherford, Randolph, Sampson,
Surry, Stanly, Tyrrcll, Warren, Washington,
Watauga, and Wayne. In several Of these
counties Divisions exist and are IN a pros.
porous condition, but | am not sufficiently
acquainted with their members, to make APP
pointments. | therefore ask aid, as far as
practicable, for this Office. ! would like to
select those who have the time and ability to
make public addresses but by ali means
Jet those nominated for the Office be T0rking
temperance men. On this subject will be
teyy thankful for any reliable Information

Prayer is the r%ustling of the wings of the
angels that are on their way bringing US the
boons o heaven. Have you heard prayer in
your heart? You shall sec the angel in your
house. When the chariots that bring us
blessings do rumble, their wheels do sound
with prayer. We hear the prayer in our
spirits, and that prayer becomes the token of
the coming blessing. Even rs the cloud
foreshadoweth the rain, SO prayer foreshadow-
eth the blessing, even as the green blade is
the beginning Of the harvest, so is prayer the
prophecy ofthe blessingthat is about to come.

One Of the most pleasing, at the same time eff
fective remedies for Dyspepsia, and all other dis
eases arising from q morbid condition of the
stomach and liver, is DR.. Hostetter's Bitters. 1t
not only removes the disease fromthe system, but
by giving tone to the organs of digestion, aids
C1-in their fractions. All who have tried it
acknowledge its excellence and superiority, and
we therefore commend it to the sufferer. DR..
Hostetter's Bitters as a tonic, is too well known
to need praise 1t is therefore scarcely necessary
u. this time to do more than direct attention to
this preparation, which is certainly unequaled by
any before the public, satisfied as we are, that its
widespread reputation must prove sufficient to
satisfy all Gifts excellence as a relief.
