Visit to salisbury.

Last Saturday by appointment, we started
to that enterprising town. We were domi-
ciIed under the hospitable roof of that popu-
lar and genial gentlemen, DR.. r. II. Bos-
twick. That night we delivered a temper
ance lecture at the Methodist church and
many signed the pledge. The following
day we addressed the colored people at their
church near town, and though much preiu-
dice existed with this race towards the
Murphy cause, yet we were successful, in
removing it and gained fifty adherents that
morning. The meeting was noble success.
Opposition yielded. That afternoon the
Methodist church was crowded to hear an
other lecture. We addressed the people,
and many took the pledge. A strong Or
ganization was affected. That night anoth-
er meeting was held, which was equally
satisfactory. For particulars of all these
meetings and their success, we refer the
reader to the interesting correspondence
from Salisbury, elsewhere found. To DR..
Bostwick, Capt. Manson, J. J. Reaves, Hugh
Wright, Square Elliott, Squire Ferguson,
Roger and Joe Clark, DIR. Biggs and many
other friends we are indebted for kind atten-
tions. Salisbury is a strong commercial
center. Its people are refined, highly edu-
Gated and full of enterprise. My better and
nobler half, is under obligations to DIR. w

the anti-tobacco society. Let US push the

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of in
telligent and valuable people is most alarm
ing, making life actually burden instead
of pleasant existence of enjoyment and
usefulness as it ought to be. There is no
good reason for this if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-
vice of your Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August Flower.
Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory re-
suits in every case. You can buy sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by
aI Druggists on the Western Continent.

According to previous appointment the
people in our vicinity met at the U-Bet
sehoolhouse at o'clock, last Saturday even
ing. with the view of organizing the Murphy
movement at this place. But the speakers
failing to come, it seemed for the time that
the movement would be failure in our
vicinity. But DIR. Day come to the rescue
on Sunday morning, and by 10 o'clock the
schoolhouse and arbor in front of the door,
{ which arbor had been prepared for
the meeting, were filed with people. The
doctor in an able and mastery manner, por-
trayed the evil effects of intoxicating liquors,
showing that it was the duty of the Chris
tian and sober man, as well rs the habitual
drinker to join the movement. AT the close
OF his speech, a call was made for volun-
teers, and in a few moments sixty-seven
names were enrolled. The crowd then dis
persed for dinner, and at O. clock met
again. After hearing another stirring adj
dress from DIR. Day, several other names

Messrs. Editors:
l have been thinking of writing to the
BULLETIN for some time, and since we have
had such glorious time at a picnic near
old Spring Hill on the banks of the classic
Wolf, on the 22d inst, l cannot think Of
letting it pass without giving it place in
your valuable paper. The company as
sembled at an early hour, in eager anticipa-
attempt to describe the feast spread for the
comfort of the inner man. Suffice it to say,
there was an abundance and a variety suf-
ficient to crafty the taste of an epicure,
served up in a way to please the most fas-
tidious. And those beautiful girls, of whom
there were great many present, were SPLEEN
did dancers as well as entertaining CONVEX
sationalists. Two of Tennessee's loveliest
were on hand, and though they had quite a
lengthy trip we trust they had no occasion
to regret it.
The Murphys are all around US but have
not given US a call yet. We are looking
for them shortly. The farmers are busily
engaged in working their crops. Wheat
crops are very fine, though some complain
about rust The fruit crop will be bounti-
full, especially peaches and apples. We are
having a splendid school this year, taught
by Miss Emma Hester, formerly of Somer-
vile, Tenn. Her term will be out shortly;
after which we expect to have five months
school by Prof. Bouton, of Mckenzie, Tenn,
who is a talented young gentleman. With
hopes of success for the BULLETIN and the
joint prosperity of our country, l remain,

SHILOH, JUNE LIST, 1873.


Messrs. Editors:
Seeing SO many interesting letters from
different portions of the country, also seeing
that the good people of our country is so
much interested in the cause of temperance
and reform, feel rather disposed to drop
a few lines to let other parts of the country
know that we in this section are doing all
that we can for this cause, but being desti-
tute of speakers in this section, we cannot
be as successful as some places who have
the advantage of US in that respect. Not
withstanding our disadvantages on the last
night we met at Shiloh, and organized, and
had very touching speech from Rev. D. A.
Ross. Officers of the Shiloh Christian Tenn
perance Union: President, T. S. Garrett;
