Perhaps no real medicine ever gained the
rapid popularity which Castoria has done. One
person relates their experience of its good effects
TO another. 1t is vegetable preparation, perfectly
harmless, pleasant to take; does not distress or
grippe, but regulates the system, and is to ope-
rate when all other remedies have failed. Any per-
son who has ever used Castoria for Stomach Ache,
Constipation, Group, Flatulency, Worms, Piles or
deranged Liver, will never again use nauseatirg
OIL Bitter or Narcotic Syrups. The Castoria con-
tains neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. By
its soothing, quieting effect it produces natural
sleep, and is particularly adapted to crying and
teething children. 1t costs but IS cents, and one
bottle will save many dollars in doctors bills.

Early Days Of Methodism in

Last Sabbath the Rev. J. L. BOYD, Pas
tor in charge of the NJ E. Church at this
place delivered his last discourse of the
present conference year, in which he re-
lated the following bit of interesting his
tory which, when compared with the
present, who will say that Plymouth is
NOT rapidly growingy
In 1917, there was but one male mem
Der of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Plymouth submitted to the appointed
Pastor. That one was Bro. E. Rev. ].
c. Hackney was sent to Plymouth by
the conference as preacher The day he
arrived was one on which the "windows
Of heaven were opened" AID the rain de-
seconded in torrents. The good brother
sought shelter ut the tavern, and after
scanning the surroundings he drew out
his plan and inquired for the then REPRE-

lord pointed out a Mr. Edwards who was
passing, upon which out sailed the par
son and the following colloquy ensued.
Bro Hackney. Bro. Edwards | am sent
by the conference to preach here and want
a house and other aid, and find you the
man on my plan as acting steward.
Bro. E, Its no USE We have starv-
ed out two young men here and we can't
support man with wife,
Bro. Il Well, the conference has
sent me here and am going to stay if it
takes the hide off.
Bro. E. "Well you may but its no use
I'm not member any longer I'll take
my name off It's no use preaching herr"
Bro. H. Oh! don't do that hold on a
day or two anyhow.
He then looked around and found a
smoke house in Mr.. Bakers yard which
was kindly rendered him, and procuring
lumber he laid floor and movedin. The
next thing needed was wood This was
offered by Mr. Westervelt and Mr.. Wheel
er, and Bro. III. shouldered his AK and
went for Westervelt's and Wheeler's tim
Der Bro. E. agreed to haul it for half,
but found it nearly all stolen when he
went after it.
The first Quarterly meeting came
around and the salary for Presiding Ell
der and preacher was $500. Bro. H
gave this to the Elder who was blessed al
that time with large family.
On the 4th of July, the Temperance
men wanted an orator and by virtue o
their rules the whiskey ties were rulet
out. But the latter wanted to celebrate
and finally compromise was effected ant
Hackney was chosen. The Presbyterian
Parson was absent and Judge Fulle
came to time and acted as chaplain.

Pershing, who had been absent, returne'
home in the meantime and took Hack

pass his character, on the plea that he ha
preached better political sermon en- tn

forth such a volumn Of gas that it was found
impossible to pump it, as the valves would not

the well was cased in order to lot the gas blow

the purpose OF agitatiug the well, and the gas
raised a column Of water, throwing solid
stream inte the air hundred feet The nui-c

OF moro than two miles. The noise was some
thing like the loud roar OF thunder and when
the column burst at the top it threw the water
each way for fifteen rods from the we'll. TIE
water WAS exhausted in about twenty-five mir
utes, and then column Of gas followed. rising
with tremendous force fifty feet above the der

ing noise that can be distinctly heard for two
miles from the we'll, The noise around sounds
like the rushing of whirwind. The column
can be seen a m'l1 from the well. No tools can
be put into the well. As soon as the attempt il
made with such force does the gas cJme ont
that the tools are carried into the air. From
descriptions of eye-Wtnesses this is probably

Things went on swimmingly for time. Du-

upright conduct soon ingratiated himself into
the confidence and esteem of the several bank

drew nigh at last The dulcimers sold had been
