 , MT. John R. H. Jamison, of Ciarks- } vile, and Mr. George T. Price, of Piney 1. Station, Johnson County, passed down on the train on Friday, the 2Sth inst, on their way to California. The latter to make it his home. MT. Jamson, : who has been engaged as book-keeper in the dry goods house of A. P. May, at Clarksville, Ark, for the last seven or eight years, goes for the purpose of recruiting his health which had become greatly impaired by constant and close confinement to his business in the store. He will be absent some months and may possibly on his return, if the climate and prospects for business are favorable, remove his family to Califor- mia. We wish these gentlemen pleas ant trip and the full accomplishment of their most sanguine expectations, and that Mir. Jamison may soon return to his family and the many warm friends he has left, with renewed and invigorated health and the perfect res toration of debilitated constitution.

 Well, we said it would be good and 1t was good. We refer to the picnic of tn e Baptist Sunday school, which trans pired at Prairie Grove last Tuesday. Ii the word elegant" was chosen and then all the adjectives in the dictionary conveying the idea of excellence were . added to it, our readers could not then
 form an opinion of the pleasurable oc- casion. The school marched in pro- cessien from the church to the grove, where all were assembled around the stand and joined their voices in praises !. to the Great Author of all good, making the forest ring with the sweet melody of song, after which short and ap-
 propriate speech was made by Rev. J.
 2. Weaver, Singing and speech-mak- ing over, the time intervening till din- ncr was given up to the sports of the day-swinging, croquet, grace hoops while several couples of the oldest chill dren might be seeE apart from the crowd whispering soft and low to each other, telling, no doubt, the Gold, old story" Soon came that welcome call at all picnics: "Dinner is ready. 70 Such feast! It seemed as if the good housewives had ransacked the country and drawn upon the hen roosts,' smoke
 houses and pantries of everybody, so bountIfully had they provided for the sharpsnsd appetite of the children and friends. But why attempt descrip- tion of the splendid dinner? It was too good to be described. The afternoon
 was spent in the usual picnic style, and all returned home in the evening feel ing that they had taken new lease of life. For our share of thls picnic, we are greatly indebted to ALL our Bap- tst friends, to whom we tender hearty
 thanks for courtesies.
 Many persons take medicine for their ailments, and as soon as they feel better they disregard all directions and stop taking it. They try it again and again and finally throw 1t aside as worthless, when, had it been persever- ed in from the start, permanent cure would have been effected. Now in taking Prickly Ash Bitters for all com- plaints of the Stomach and Bowels, re- member to give the medicine chance, and don't expect one or two doses to cure you.
