 BALD HILL, Sept. 26, 1876.


 To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In your issue of the 16th inst, you inserted card for the Elders of the Church of Christ ot Bald Hill coun- selling an agreement upon my part to engage in discussion with c. A.. Holt on the grounds that the Metho- dists did not endorse Mir. Holt. As soon as it. was ascertained that he was endorsed by the Methodists 1 agreed to meet him. But two days before the stated time for the Dis cuss.on, was afflicted with sore eyes and was not able to meet the gentleman. l also sent Brother Kel- ly to Georgetown to inform Mir. Holt and the public of my condition asking Mr. Holt to wait until l was able to meet him. But he would not. And made q speech misrepresenting my statements and even went so far as to say he could not help my ill., ness. But would not meet me at any other time. Thus trying to back out of a manly argument.
 Since that time 1 notice piece written by him and published in the DEMOCRAT that had backed out. But Mir. Holt knows that l tolds him that I would meet him, and hereby announce to the public that I will be at Georgetown the Third sunday in October next and will defend the propositions that were published in

 CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURB OF Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the
 edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, ard it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, ard is sometimes mis- taken for a rheumatism il tic arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes al.er- native with lax; the head is troubled with pain. accompanied with 3 dull, heavy sensation in the back part. Thera sgenera;ly considerable loss ofsnemory, accompanied with a pain full sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively derangcd.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are un- equaled.
 BEWARE OF LIMITATIONS.
 The genuine DR. C. MeLANE's LIVER PILLS are never sugar coated.
 Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression DR. McLANE's LIVER PILLS.
 The genuine McLANE's LIVER PILLS bear the signatures of C. and FLEMING BROS. on the

 Sympathy is that quality of the human heart that gives a kindly bias to mems actions, Without it it this world would be poor indeed, and human nature would be desti- tute of one of its most beautiful at tributes. Remove sympathy from the human breast, and there is a vacuum created only to be exceeded in size by that produced by the re- moval Of a 'Iight-Running Domes- tic' from the midst of a family where it has been for years.
