feverish, with tremendous headache
and an agonizing telling of thirst.

The annual meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association was held in the Bap-
tist Church on Wednesday evening, 10th
inst, in accordance with appointment of the
committee of arrangements from that body.
Rev. D. E. Frierson delivered the annual
address before the Association, and his effort
was highly instructive and entertaining.
The speaker dwelt upon the Importance Of
the great work, and the zeal and energy
displayed by the young men all over the
country in its prosecution and furtherance
His address was very encouraging to the
members of Association, and was highly
appreciated by them, as we'll as by the
ladies and gentlemen who were present
After the conclusion of Mr.. Frierson's ad-
dress, short business meeting was held to
hear the report from the President and elect
officers to serve the ensuing year. The
Presidents report was read before the Asso-
citation, which showed that the several COM
mittees had been very active in the prosecu-
ton of their respective duties. The follow
ing officers were then elected: President,
G. F. Tolly; lst Vice President, John W..
Todd; End Vice President, A. P. Hubbard !;
Secretary and Treasurer, L. P. Smith. The
meeting then adjourned.

AT a regular meeting of Union Grove

at Bowling Grea, January 18th, 1877, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:

citation q him as an officer Of this Division

TIE COLLECTION OF TAXES.

The books of the Special Agent appointed
bv Governor Hampton to receive the con-
tribution of ten per cent. were opened on
last Saturday, without any public notice,
and in three days nearly Six Hundred Dol
lars were collected. The regular announce
ment is made in our advertising columns
to-day, and taxpayers are invited to show
their faith by their works. A prompt re-
sponse is expected from Anderson County,
which has been foremost in the movement
from the beginning to secure the redemption
of the State from corrupt rulers, and the
opportunity is now given to manifest the
earnestness of the professions made during
and since the campaign. 1t is voluntary
contribution, and yet it is true that there is
just obligation resting upon every citizen to
maintain the lawful government. No one
reed to expect that the exaction made by
Chamberlain and the Mackey House will be
enforced. The injunction obtained against
the County Auditor has nipped in the bud
any expectations of that character, and the
illegality of its assessment and collection
will be maintained by the Courts. The
question only remains for the taxpayers to
determine whether or not they will respond
to the call made by Gov. Hampton for
contribution of ten per cent. upon the
amount of last years taxes for the support
of the legitimate government of the State.
It will require an actual demonstration of
the fact to make US believe that the tax
payers of Anderson County will refuse their
quota. Each man must remember that
''taxes are test of sovereignty, and their
payment indicates loyalty" and the small
est amount is equivalent in Importance in
this view as the largest.

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together.

Why Go people SO frequently say to Dr..
Pierce, II suppose your Golden Medical Dis
covery cures every thing?" Because it has
been the practice of knavish charlitans to
manufacture worthless nostrums and ut
tempt to dupe the ignorant and credulous
by recommending them to cure every form
Of disease 70 such an extent has this been
practiced that it is no wonder that many
have acquired prejudices against all adver-
tised remedies. But DR.. Pierce.does not ad-
yertise his standard preparations as cure
alls," does not claim chat they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact that
they have been developed as specifics for
certain forms of disease for which he recon-
mends them, after having tested their eff
cacy in many hundred cases with the most
gratifying success. 1t is fact known to
every well-infornled physician that many
single remedies possess several different
properties. Quinine, for instance, has a
tonic quality, which suggests its use in cases
of debility; an anti-periodic, by which it is
etficacious in ague; and febrifuge proper.
ty, which renders it efhcacious in cases of
fever The result of its administration will
also vary with the quantity given and the
circumstances under which it is employed
So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery
possesses both pectoral and Alternative, or
blood-cleansing properties Of the highest
order. BY reason of these two prominent
properties it cures two classes of disease.
First, those of the respiratory organs, as
throat bronchial, and lung affections,
chronic coughs and asthma, and second,
diseases of the blood and glandular system,
in which affections all skillful physicians
employ alternatives, as in cases Of blotches,
eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumos, abb
scesses, and in torpor of the liver or .'bilious-
ness" While its use is, by its combination
of properties, suggested in cases of pulmo-
nary consumption, yet you need not take it
expecting it will cure you ifyour lungs are
half consumed, nor because it is recon-
mended as blood medicine would its pro-
prietor advise you to take it expecting it to
cure cancer. 1t will not perform miracles,
but it will cure many grave forms of disease.

The Hon. Alexander II. Stevens says
"The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has
proven most valuable remedy to me"
Gov. James N. Smith, of Georgia says:
"I shall always use it with perfect conf
dence, and recommend it to the public
as remedy which will afford that salts
faction experienced by me and mine. 1t
excels everything for coughs, colds and
obstinate lung affections"
Ex.Gov. Brown, of Ga, says :-"He
finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a
most excellent remedy"
Such endorsement by our great and
good men deserves the attention of the
afflicted. Those suffering from cough,
colds and lung affections should use the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. 1t will pos
itively cure consumption.
