RIOS WELL RECORDINGS.

REV. Henry B, Pratt who has been
many years Missionary to South America
is now here on visit to his father and
friends The field of his labors has been
discouraging, but with surprising energy
and pertnacity he has held ON to it, through
political changes and revolutions. Heis in
bued with the true missionary spirit, and
labors continually wherever he is. Since
here he has preached two sermons and nd
dressed the Sabbath School each Sunday.
and conducted services at various places du
ring the week Labor and anxiety, added
to exposure to a tropical climate, are making
him show age but he eats as if he had
rather rear out than to ruSt oft.
Gun young folks have created sensa-
ton. and found way to make these long
winter evenings delightful, Miss Kate Ba-
ker of Staunton, Va, Miss Daisy King of
Savannah, Mr. John King of Hawkinsville
are here visiting relatives. They and Miss
Fannie King, Messrs Tom Stout, Charley
King, Ed Minhinnitt, Ollie King and War
rem Gignilliat, all assisted by Mrs. Prather,
Miss Matte Moyerand others, gave enter
tainments at Greer's Hall on Thursday and
Saturday nights, consisting of songs and &C
ting both serious and comic, that would
have done credit to professionals in a large
city. Their audiences were fapturous in
their applause. If "every time we laugh
draws a nail from our coffin" we guess we
laughed enough at the drollery ofthese ana
tuers to add to the aggregate longevity of
the listeners about 100 years. In these
stringent time when every body's head is
full of care we don't laugA enough. Had
you thought of that? 1t would be an adj
vantage 10 our neighboring towns to have
these young people repeat their perfor-
mances.

A Very Good Reason.

The reason why only one sample bottle OF
MERRELI's HEPATINE for the Liver will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our
Druggists, il because OF the enormous expense
of importing the Hepatne into this country
but as there are fifty doses in the large size
bottles, it seems two cents per dose Is cheap
enough after all for a medicine that cures
dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have
not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for
ten cents at our Drugptores. Three doses re-
