SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC NIc.-The Sunday
School of the Southern Methodist Church of
this place, held their annual picnic in the grove
near the Cemetery, on last Friday. There was
quite large turn out of the School and the fore
noon of the day was passed most PLEASANTLY
some in swinging, and others engaged in many
of the plays that were wont to be played in days
of yore. The most delightful scene, however,
occurred about noon. when several hundred per-
sons-old and young-were seen, seated in squads
all over the shaded hillside partaking of the rich
+viands prepared for this occasion. A short time
after dinner was over. a mammoth watermelon
treat was given to the whole School, which was
enjoyed with great deal of gusto. The enjoy
ments of the afternoon were interrupted by the
falling of rain, and the participants were COM
PEELED to leave the ground at a much earlier
hour than they otherwise would have done.

quite, ruined man 1t is not as it was before
the war, when almost every farmer had some
thing in reserve for a rainy day, when taxes

FAMILY MEDICINE OF REAL

FAMILY MEDICINE OF REAL

for by thousands who are not SO situated as to al
WAYS have at their elbow q physician of emil

some quack nostrum or sweetened water and Bit
ter herbs, highly inflated with the certificates of
men of straw, warranted good for every thing,
but fit for nothing-nor have we any faith in
those much lauded compounds that profess to
makethe old young and the blind to see-but
when we use the term family medicine" we
mean as applied to certain remedy for dyspep-
STA, colds, chllls, nervousness sour stomach loss
of appetite, and general debility, and as such
we recommend BAKERS PREMIUM BIT
TIERS, medicine that has stood the test of
years in the neghborhood Of its manufacturer
and that has gradually worked itself into popu-
lar favor throughout Virginia and the South
while thousands of other mixtures hourished for
day and then sank beneath the surface of pop
ular opinion. never again to be resurrected
These BITTERS are made of vegetable mat
ter only, and are highly appreciated, that the
most eminent physicians are recommending them
to their patients while thousands of families use
nothing else for the ordinary complaints which
spring into existence from disordered stomachs
and bowels. They are healing, strengthening
and exbilarating in their effect, and unlike min
eral medicines, leave no poisons on the system
to be counteracted in after time. Unapproacha-
bic as mic, we commend them to the free use
of our readers, fully assured that they will gain
the good opinion of all who try them.
