GREAT BENEFIT TO THE Con.

4 GREAT BENEFIT TO THE Con-
IA STITUTION.-At this particular season,
when the weather is as changeable as the wind
when the most robust constitutions are attacked
and undermined when feeble systems
shattered and unnerved it is absolutely necessa-
ry that scientific principles should be brought to
the aid of Nature in order to avert the contrac-
ton of those diseases that usually become seated
and fixed from the continuous changes referred
to. Of all the discoveries yet made, none seem
to answer the purpose so well as BAKERS BIT
TIERS, for while other remedies have been tried
and failed, this medicine has proved to be the
only panacea for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Cen
era Debility, Collie Sour Stomachs, Colds, and
Consumption in its incipient stages. Prepared
solely of vegetable extracts, and so admirably
compounded as to act at once upon the Liver,
Digestive organs, Blood, and Mind, it drives out
Impurities, increases the Appetite, improves the
Digestion, strengthens the Lungs, and so tones
up the inner man as to render it impervious to
ordinary colds. AS family medicine, it has no
equal, and needs only to be tried to recommend
itself.
These incompatible Btters are sold by DR.. N.

PUBLIC INsrALLATIoN.-The officers elected
for the ensuing term of Mt. Sidney Lodge No
1l9 were publicly installed on Saturday evening
last, in the Methodist church of that place. A
delegation of about twenty members of Staun-
4on Lodge were present. After the conclusion
of the installation ceremonies Mr.. @. S. Roller,
on behalf of little Miss Mary Watson, (daugh-
ter of Jno. Watson, Esq., presented Bible to
that Lodge, in a brief but very beautiful and ap-
propriate address The response on behalf of
the Lodge was delivered by Rev. Dr., Handy,
Pastor of Augusta church. The exercises were
concluded by an address by Dr. Handy on the
subject of Odd Fellowship. The address was q
very appropriate one, and was tened to atten-
lively by those present.
\ VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE.-In another
lcolemn is advertised for sale the very valuable
property of Mr. John W. Hurt of Salem, Va
It is seldom that such valuable property is
thrown upon the market. and it is rare oppor-
4unity for those wishing to engage in the lucra-
sige business of tanning to secure one of the
finest tanneries in the State of Virginia. Be-
sides the tannery, Mr.. Hurt wishes also to sell
his most magnificent farm.
Dir. Hurt is we'll known in his section as one
of the best farmers to be found anywhere and
under his management land never suffers, but IS
made better every year. His crops never fail,
and he raises more wheat and corn per acre than
any farmer in his section. His fencing painted
gates, white barn and stables, remind US Of the
fine Pennsylvania and Maryland farms we once
had the pleasure of seeing while travelling
through those States. In fact all of this proper
ty is in frst-rate order, and should attract the
at ention of CAPITALISTS

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCEsS.-The justly-cele-
brated Stief' Pianos have again been success
full. Eleven first Prizes and Gold Medals were
awarded to Steiffs Pianos for acknowledged SUI
periority over fourteen different Pianos from tie
first manufactures of New York, Baltimore,
Boston and st. Louis, during the months of Oc-
tober and November, 1870, at the State Fairs
held in Augusta. Ga, IStaunton, Va, Knoxville,
Tenn, Wythville. Va, Wilmington, N. C.,
Winchester, Va, Columbus, S. c., Clarksburg,
W. Va, Charlotte. N. c., and other places.
Including the awards made during the pTevi-
Gus year. eighteen First Premiums have been
awarded to the Stief Pianos, over twenty one of
tie most celebrated makers in the country.
More than one thousand Steif Pianos have
been sold to the southern people since the close
of the war, which fact, when considered in con-
neetion with the numerous Premiums awarded
by disinterested judges. more than attests the SUI
periority of the Steif instruments over all 9TH
ers.
Persons wishing to purchase will find it to
their interest by corresponding with Mr. Steiff
before purchasing elsewhere. 1t
REV. A. B. EARLE.-This distinguished and
useful Evangelist will preach in the Baptist
CuuTcus III OtduHGOI, lOT lOur Ostys anu HiSHIS,
beginning Tuesday night, January 10th. He has
been heard by vast multitudes, and his labors
have been greatly blessed in Richmond, Nor
folk, Raleigh, Memphis, and many other South
ern cities Utterly disclaiming either great
learning or oratorical power, Mr. Earle does
from some quality, or combination of qualities,
seem to get the of the people, and to be,
above many, successful in awakening Christians
TO their duty, and leading the unconverted to
Christ i is little remarkable to- that his
meetings are unusually free from animal excite
ment. Although a Baptist, Mr. Earle is very
Catholic in his spirit, his aim seeming to be the
conversion of sinners, rather than the building
up of sect. Hence, in many places, he has
held union meetings, all denominations co-ope-
rating and even where this has not been the
case, christians of all names have rejoced in his
iabors, and all the churches have shared in the
blessing.
Mr.. Earles stay here will be short, as his en-
gagements ahead render it necessary. He will
preach in the day we'll at night, though the
hour is not yet known. We expect many from
the county, especially of our Baptist friends
will arrange to hear him. In some instances
ministers and others have travelled considera.
BILE distance for that purpose.
At the request of the pastor, who is necessari
ly absent and also at the request of the members
of the church, Rev. Geo. B. Taylor, the former
pastor, will attend the meetings and co-operett
with Mr.. Earle.

people of sedentary habits. 1t is preparation

never having failed in effecting cure, and it

forms of diseases arising from impurity of the
blood, or arrangement of the digestive organs,
including General Debility, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, Sick Headache, Constipation, and
similar ailments, it is certain remedy. Lead

Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that it is undiguifed
to advertise remedy, however valuable it may
be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like saying that
an article which the world needs should be hid
in a corner-that benefits and blessings may be
too widely difr,sed-that the means OF protect
ing and restoring health should be close mo-
nopoly and not accessible to all The argument
is bad. It is worse than that; it is inhuman.-
Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-an abso-
lutte specific for dyspepsia, biliousness and ner-
vous deblity-had never been known beyond
the repertoire of the faculty, what would have
been the consequence? Instead of curing and
invlgorating millions, the good effects of the
preparation would have been confined to COM
parative few There is the highest authority for
saying that light should not be hid under bush
ell that whatev er is excellent should be placed
as city on a hill, where all men can take cog
nizance of it. 1t is upon this principle that the
Bitters have been advertised and continue to be
advertised in every newspaper of any promi-
nence in the western hemi sphere, and that the
spontaneous testimonials in its favor have been
translated into all written languages Thous-
ands enjoy perfect health to-day who would be
languishng on beds of sickness if the newspa-
pers had not spread The truth acih regard to this
unequaied inuigorant and corrective far and wide.
Suppose profit has been reaped from this pub
licity. Is that any argument against it? If the
public health has been protected if lives have
been saved ii the feeble have been strength
ened and the sick restored, great good has been
accomplished and who so mean as to grudge to
exertions thus directed their fair reward?
