REMARKS:

The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but few dollars invested
for the "Seven Springs" "lron and Alum
Mass" are worth $40 to every one thus
spent to any person who is not perfectly
we'll and hearty. There arc persons that
would give Sl0 bottle rather than be
without it. A gentleman in Mississippi
says he would give sl00 for a single bottle
if he could not obtain it for less. The re
tail price is only sl.0O per hottle-sent
for sale by BUNTING & PEPPER, and J. A.
DICKEY & Co., Bristol, Tenn, and by near
ly all regular Druggist, but if the Druggist
nearest you does not keep it, send to Lam
drum Litchfeld, Abingdon, Va, and 20"
will certainly get it for the price.

SAVAGE OR CIvILIZEDY

1t is the fashion nova, days to teach the
reading public through our scientific and lit
erary magazines, and in more formal trea-
tises, that man has climbed up by slow de-
grees to the arts and re6nements of civilized
life; that he was originally '8aVage-nay,
lower than all existing SaVages,-nay, more
than this, that he was devoid of language, a
miserable ape-hke, degraded mute.
This teaching is false, and a little infOr-
nation will prove it to be SO. And if it were
true, we should be sOrely puzzled to square
the Biblical teachings as to the primitive con-
dition of man with it.

savage. Cain "builds city" In few

Mt. Pleasant Church, Monroe County, W. Va.

The Rev. Samuel R. Houston, D. D., pastor,
had just passed through one of those periods which
strongly mark the healthful growth Of a church
the erection and dedication of new house of wor-
ship.
The old church which gave place to the new was
built in 1926, when DR.. McEhenney was such
a champion of the truth in all that region. The
neighborhood it is said had been characterized by
unusual thoughtlessness and irreligion before the
building of the church, although it wanted not for
the preaching Of the gospel A great change was
perceived after this tabernacle was permanently
set up among them.
For half century the quaint old edifce stood on
its height, surrounded by the beautiful natural
growth of chestnut and oak, Presbyterianism in
its purity finding an abode there. 1t has had the
care of but two ministers since Dr. McElhenney's
time Rev. David r. Preston for six and half
years, and the present pastor, Rev. Samuel r.
Houston, since 1872
For several years prior to its overthrow the
church showed evident signs of age in It's cracked
and leaning walls. After the decision of the con-
gregation that new house was necessary, not many
months elapsed before its ancient walls we're torn
down, and on the foundation greatly enlarged the
new church was reared, tasteful and beautiful
building. The upper main room is deliCately fres-
coed, and though large, thoroughly lighted and
ventilated. The commodious basement is used for
the Sabbath School and winter services. On last
Saturday, July 18th, it was dedicated to Him who
had blessed them in their undertaking. DR.. E.
P. Mutually Of Lexington, Va, preached the SER
mon on the occasion from the text, "This is a
