We do not often make any editorial mention
of the proprietary medicines advertised in
our columns. but we believe it to be a duty
we owe to our readers to call their attention
to the advertisement of DIR. j. c. Ayers Ague
Cure which appears in this issue of our paper.
We know from sad experience that nothing
is more dlsheartening than the insdious APP
proaches and periodical attacks of malarial
and miasmatc disorders. The remedy pre-
pared by DR.. Aver & Co. has been in use
many years. and has proved positive
antidote for disorders of this nature. 1t is,
wthal a safe and harmless one to take. being
composed entirely of vegetable ingredients,
without either Quinine or minerals. unlike
other so-called Ague Cures, and consequently
incapable of producing the deplorable effects
which follow the use of these drugs Our
Western people owe debt of gratitude to
DR. Aver for tine production of this valuable
medicine. Its timely use will save much
suffering. and We recommend it with the
greatest confidence in its ability to do all
that is promised for it.-Atkins, AK, NeTS.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
At one o'clock the Kennebec Valley asso-
citation held its annual meeting at the st.nd
win hev. Mr.. Lalachuer in the chair The
reading OF the treasurer's report was de-
ierred to an adjourned meeting. The next
business being the election of officers. a
nominating committee was appointed. This
committee was directed to report at the next
ADJOURNED meeting. 1t was ordered that the
executive committee should consist of seven.
and that majority of the committee should
De chosen from Augusta and vicinity. 40 At
special meeting the difficulty of assembling
would be lessened. The propriety of selling
CANDY, peanuts and cigars on SUNDAY was
discussed, but no decision was reached.
AT the usual hour for afternoon exercises
1air audience had assembled, and after the
usual devotionary exercises. Rev Mr. HANDY
OF Dresden, preached a stirring sermon from
the last clause of the 26th verse. IL chapter
OF Acts: And the disciples were called
christians at Antioch" The following brew
tiles are abstracts from the Rev. gentle
man remarks Whether the followers of
Chrlst were called christians for a nickname or
they called themselves so in destruction from
the other religious sects is not known. Paul's
conception of christian is regarded As a
pattern. All the qualities that constitute
christian were clearly defined. The mere
name does not constitutes christian or insure
an entrance into Heaven, but true conversion
and works consistent with the teaching of
Christ Is what is required and what will pro-
cure for US eternal life. Thoughts of all the
joys and bliss that await the humble sincere
christian must surely initiate him to greater
exertions. We cannot deny the fact tina, as
saults are made even now upon the divinity
OF Christ: so too in ancient times But the
only difference is in the methods the same
result is held in view
Belief that Christ is the Son of God. is ,he
grand point in christians throng. Call
yourself christian if you please, but nothing
but implicit belief in his divinity and life
according TO his percepts. will avail us in the
day Of judgment. No excuse will be receiv-
ed There is too much tendency to disregard
the true duty Of christian, and to reiy too
much upon the fact that we are not heather.
but live in a civilized country where some
men aver that culture and education is all the
requirements. Nothing but faith in God will
save. Mr.. Handy's delivery is forcible and
well caculated to convict.
After the services were over, Rev Mr.. La
lacheur made few remarks on what consti-
tutes a true christian. Then profitable sea
son OF prayer was enjoyed, and several asked
the prayers of christians.
