DEBILITY AND EMACIATIoN both result
from the lack of ability TO convert the food
into nutriment How necessary, then, tor
those suffering from these alarming symp-
toms TO Immediately resort to remedy that
will strengthen the stomach and digestive
organs. For, as soon as this desirable OBJ
ject has been accomplished the health I'M
proves, and the patient resumes his usual
personal appearance. Hostetter S Stomach
Bitters have attained a world wide popular
ity in such cases, and have been proven the
best and safest means OF removing constl-
patton, toning the stomach, giving energy
to the liver, and relieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits. Its
cheering and beneficial effects are highly
spoken of by thousands, who own to ii their
restoration to health. No restorative in the
annals of medicine has attained the same
popularity in the short space of time it has
been before the public, or has won the high
endorsements accorded to this excellent ton
ic. Many other preparations, purporting
to be correctives and restoratives. have been
introduced, and have perished one by one,
while the popularity of Hostetter' Stomach
BItters continues to increase, and Is now
recognized as standard household mcdi-
cine The success which attends the use of
the Bitters evin ces at once its virtues in all
cases of debility and disease of the stomach.
Certificates, almost without number, have
been published, attesting its truly miracu-
lous power in removing those painful and
fearful diseases. And at this time it seems
idle to do more than call attention to the
great remedy of the age, in order to awaken
public attention to its excellence. 1t is the
only preparation of the kind that is reliable
in all cases, and it is therefore worthy of
the consideration of the afflicted.

Every year increases the popularity oc thi. val
liable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard and it is the
only reliable and perfected prepar alton for re-
storing GRAY OR FADED HAIR to its youthful
color, making it soft, lustrous and slken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. 1t
removes all eruptions and dandruff, and, by its
tonic properties. prevents the hair from falling
out it stimulates and nourishes the hair
glands By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. in badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and will create a
new growth, except in extreme old age 1t is
the most economical Hair Dressing ever used, as
it requires few applications and gives the hair
a splendid glossy appearance A A. Hayes, NJ.

TALK to q farmer about the bene-
fits to be derived from science as APP
piled to agriculture, and the end of
his nose goes up, in token of his con-
tempt for the-to him--ahsurb idea.
He will agree, however, that his sole
aim Is the largest amount of profit
to be obtained from the cultivation
of the soil. He will agree, too, that
to secure such profit, wet land must
be drained; that manure and rota-
ton of crops fertilize the soil; that
careful cultivation keeps the soil
light and eradicates pests, that what
ever will decompose furnishes plant
food, and that the selection Of the
thriftiest and most improved stock is
the best way to economize food.
These mainly constitute the good
results of scientific farming, and all
may be accomplished by imitation
and observation. The science con
sists in the knowing how to do these
things, in the quickest and most eff
flcient manner, and the man who
does them, Is, practically, a scientific
farmer though ignorant of the n,odus
operdndi of the agencies employed,

The Pic-nlc given by the member
Of Keesee's chapel (Baptist) nnt
Christs Chapel (Epipcopul) Sunda,
Schools, on last Saturday, near Mrs
Jackson's spring, was decided sue
cess In every particular. AT an early
hour the guests began to assemble
among whom were the members o.
the Baptist School from this place
and those Of the Methodist schools
from Salem, Antioch and Chapel
Hill. About six hundred persons
were gathered in the pleasant, well
shaded spot selected by those having
the management, where every ar
rangement was made for the comfort
Of those present.
The schools united in procession,
under Mr.. q. A. Barnes, chief mar
shal, who well performed his vari-
Gus duties throughout the day, and
having reached the stand all joined
In singing some beautiful and appro-
pirate songs. After the singing Squire
Caldwell introduced Mr.. Jno. p.
Campbell, Of this city, the orator OF
the day, who for the space of three
quarters Of an hour entertained the
large audience with an elegant ad-
dress, filled with beautiful thoughts
and good counsel.
At the close Of Mr.. Campbell's ad-
dress, Judge King introduced our
young townsman, M. II. Johnston,
who spoke about half an hour, deliv-
ering, as Hop. is capable of doing, a
most excellent speech.
Following Mr.. Johnston, came our
friend John A. Holmes, who being
called for, was introduced by Judge
King as native Southeastern" John
responded to the call in an of-hand
speech Of about ten minutes. closing
with the very sensible remark, that
he came there to eat not to speak, -
After the speaking tile crowd pro-
ceeded to the tables, where an album
dance Of good things had been provi-
ded for the refreshment of the inner
man. Among the substantials some
twenty-seven carcasses had been pre-
pared and were accompanied by other
things in proportion.
The dinner disposed of, the crowd
scattered, each seeking to enjoy HIM
self or herself as best suited each ones
taste, the old folksseating themselves
for their after dinner talk, youths and
maidens finding resting places in car
riages, buggies, or any other place,
where they might uninterriptedly
enjoy themselves, while the children,
seemingly the happiest Of all, Joined
in the different games which their
fancies suggested, and oil remained
until late hour, before separating
for their various homes.
Altogether, last.Saturday was day
long to be remembered by all who
participated in the Union Sunday
School Picnic at Mrs. Jackson's
spring.
Our thanks are due the managers
for special favors shown us OH the oc-
casion. May they live long and have
the management of many more social
gatherings as pleasant and enjoyable
as this one proved.
