ATHEIsM.-On Sunday night last, DR.. J. M
Frost, pastor of the Baptist church, preached
a powerful sermon from the text "The fool
hath said in heart, there is no God" It was
the first of series of three, upon the subject
of Atheism, and was devoted principally to the
maTshalling of the evidences of Gods existence
The depth of thought displayed, wonderful
grasp and dfect impressiyeness, made the ser
mon such as is seldom heard. Profound and
logically in. the extreme, it was an effort OF
rare force and power, and, u concluding, its
full scope and practicability were made mani
fest by comparison of practical and theoret-
ical atheism. DR.. Frost is one of the finest
pulpit orators in the South. and is doing a
good work in his present field.
Next Sunday night the subject of his dis
course will be The fearfuness of atheism"

placed under the treatment of the most noted
physicians of Baltimore and other cities, and
he hope that she would outgrow the afflictiol
vas the only encouragement held out to it,
arents. When Doctor Miller arrived tn,
iather of the child determined to let him Sc
Ter. Little faith was put in the experiment
tut as it could do no harm the trial was made,
DR.. Miller treated her the first night of hin
arrival, with a very perceptible result. I'm
mediately after the manipulation, the patient
gave evidence of benefit She could distinctly
hear the ticking of watch with either ear,
Notwithstanding one had before been totally
leaf The treatment has been repeated sever
i times since, and although the improvement
was not as marked as in the first instance, still
there are such indications of improvement that
the parents have determined to have Dr.
Miller treat her every day during his stay
in Staunton. These facts were obtained from
the little girls mother, a lady Of culture and
refinement.
The second case was that of a colored man
named Brown, barber by trade and wei
known in Stanton For months.he had beer.
terribly afflicted with rheumatism. One leg
was SO seriously implicated that he had to us
crutches, and one arm and hand were 80 drawn
up by the disease that ii was with the greatest
difficulty he managed to support his crutch
DR.. Miller treated him, and he came away
leaving his crutches behind. His disease
hand and arm were freed from pain, straight
ened out and apparently restored to then
normal condition When asked what sensa-
tons he experienced during the operation
Brown repliedthat was impossible to desert e
them. AS the Doctor passed his hands Owl
the afflicted parts, a sharp pricking sensation
was felt, and then it seemed as if the pain was
running down his arm and out at the end OF
his fingers. He felt thoroughly relieved and
has not had rturn of acute pain since.
1t is difficult to tell exactly in what light Dr.
Miller is looked upon. The idea of inspiration
is not believed, but there are those who regar,
HIM as the possessor Of unusual magnetism
Whatever he may be- there are hundreds VIII
| insist that they have been materially benefited
and are willing to swear by him. He will re-
main in town week or two.

The ball struck him just above the

posed to have passed through to the
inside, which the doctor said would
prove fatal within three days. Tt is
too bad that more precaution is not

good officer, Our Republican voters
should take pride in seeing that this
important Office is filled by an efficient
Republican for the next two years.
Mr.. Blackman's Democratic competi-
tor is very popular in his party, and
unless Republicans are yigilant and
alert and see that every Republican
voter is at his place at the polls, they
may be put to shame by seeing Mr..
Blackman defeated.
Of d. B. Benedict, candidate for
Register Of Deeds, e. G. Timme. can
didate for County Clerk. Ralph z.
Sutherland for County Treasurer, it is
not necessary to speak particularly.
They have served the public long and
faithfully, and will be reelected al
most without opposition.
Our candidate for Clerk Of the Court
is a young man without official expe-
rience. His friends have full conf
dence in his ability and fitness for the
Office and ask for him a fair trial. He
ought to receive the full Republican
vote, and il he does will be elected.
James Cavanagh. Esq, candidate
for DISTRICT Attorney. has by his own
efforts raised himself to an honorable
position at the Bar. We have known
him ever since he vas a barefooted
boy scarcely big enough to peep over
the top of the table and reach for q hot
biscuit. He was always Industrious
energetic and determined. If hi
i! couldn't get the biscuit any other way
he would climb on to the table. Hill
industry, energy and frmness viii
serve him well in the Office for which
he has been selected. He DiU take tn,

Coroner, Daniel Head, are well known
to every person in the county, and i
There is any opposition to their election
it will simply be nominal.

there was no power in the govern
ment to cOerce a state leaving the in
ference that JEFF Davis and Alec
Stephens could send the country to
the demnition boW-wOws for all he
could do to prevent it. After twenty
years of Republican rule there is no
doubt that we have country, and
Alec Stephens and Jere Black would
give all they are worth to have the
people forget that they ever questioned
it. The kind of ruin which five sue
cessiye Republican administrations
have inflicted upon the country is just
little striking in view of the figures,
and the people like it and call for more
of the same sort, and are bound to
have it, too.

The address delivered before the
Agricultural Society on Wednesday,
Sept. %, by the Hon. David Ward
Wood, of the Western Rural, was a fine
effort, and was received with great IA
vor by his audience. The subject,
/" Dangers to Popular Government"
was ably handled. The existence of
all republics is menaced by many dan
gers, and it is we'll for their citizens to
be aware of them, so that they may be
prepared to meet and dissipate them.
Eternal vigilance is not only the price
OF liberty, but of existence. Repub-
lies having as brilliant career as that
Of the United States have gone down
into darkness and are almost forgotten.
In monarchy the government Is pre-
pared at all times to strike down with
Its strong arm and destroy whatever
menaces Its life and peace. Therefore
it behooves the patriotic and intelli-
gent citizens of repablic to be watch
tul and alert, and always faithful in
the discharge of the duties of good
citizenship. At future time we may
make some comments on the specific
dangers pointed out by the speaker.
