WilbOr's Compound OF Pure COd-LiYer
OIL and Lime.

The advantage of this compound over the
plain oil is that the nauseating taste of the
oil is entirely removed, and the whole rem
dered palatable. The offensive taste of the
oil has long acted as great objection to its
use; but in this form the trouble is obyiaied.
A host OF certificates might be given here to
testify 20 the excellence snd success of Will
bor's Cod-Liver Oil and Lime; but the fact
that it is regularly prescribed by the medical
faculty is sufficient. For sale by A. B. VIII

NASHVILLE, TENN. May IL. 1882
Mr.. EdEtOr-Ihe most ol your readers are
doubtless aware of the fact that the General Con-
ference of the Nj. E. Church, South met in this
city on the Sd inst; and thinking perhaps a few
items touching this great body of representative
Methodsis composed as it is of clerical and Law
delegates from the thiriy-nine Conferences in the
connection may be- of interest io some pro-
pose to drop you few lines in relation thereto.
The citizens of Nashville have generously opened
their homes tn visitors and all of the membcrs Of
the Conference. Some two hundred and fifty in
number are being entertained with that open
hearted hospitality which is So eminenlly char
acleristic of our Southern people, be they Ten
nesseans or Floridians. OF lhe members of the
Conference, the observed of all observers and
most prominent the Bishops, who alternately
preside over The deliberations of the body
Bishop Payne the senior member of the College,
is now eighty-two years of age, is very feeble,
and, since the commencement of the session, in a
touching address asked permission TO retire from
further active duties which of course was
granted. Bishop Kavanaugh, an octegenarian,
seems stout and vigorous. has lost none of his
well-earned reputation as pulpit orator, and |
trust may be spared many more years to the
church. Bishop Pierce is much improved in
health, and presides with his accustomed dignity
Bishops McTyeire and Keener. juniors in years as
well as in Office, are both men of fine appearance
and of dignified carriage and great executive
ability. Among the clerical delegates there are
many noble looking men. men well qualified TO
grace the pulpit of the finest church of the most
fasiidious congregations of our prosperous cities.
or 10 carry the word of God through the vast
plains and over the mountains of our western
frontier. The lay delegates are drawn from all
vocations and professions. The different Confer
ences have tried to send their best men. Judges
have left their benches, lawyers their Briefs mer
chants their stores, doctors their patients, and
last but not least, farmers and planters their
crops, and all are with patience giving their time
and labor to promote the interest of the church
and the advancement of the Masters cause
Among the clerical delegates are Revs Q. L
Bowman and F. Pasco. Although below the
average In age, they are by no means inferior in
ability, and to them belongs the distinction and
honor of recommending one of the very lew
changes In the Discipline, which was approved
by the Committee on Revisals. Conspicuous

CONCORD, GADsDEN Co, FLA, May IS, 81
Editor Hortdian We notice with pleasure
that the Railroad cause a" within our State, is
now receiving considerable attention from CAPT
talists in different parts of the country-and we
are persuaded that the day is not Ear distant when
railroads will permeate our entire State.
We notice that some Georgia Company is con-
templating the construction of a road from Co
lumbus via Cuthbert and Bainbridge To the
Georgia and Florida line at some point in Gads-
den county, and that the Disston Company in
Florida is contemplating the construction of
road from some point on the ST. Johns river via
Gainesville Old Town and Tallahassee TO Flor
ida and Georgia line at some point also in Gads-
den county Now if these two companies viii
so arrange as to have their roads TO strike the
Florida and Georgia line at the same point they
will open direct communication from South and
East Florida to the Northwest, making the road
one of the best paying institutions in the whole
country.
We. have fine section of country here, and
we feel our need of a railroad. The citizens of
Concord and vicinity would aid literally in the
construction of a railroad from any point on the
j. P. & NJ. Road TO any point on the S. F. & W.
Road, provided il would pass via Concord We
would hail with pleasure the day that would
bring through our section a railroad from
Quincy to Thomasville, from Whigham TO Mid
way, or from Tallahassee to Bainbridge-eIther
of which would suit us yet we would prefer the
route that would be likely to prove most prof
fiabe 10 the builders.
A railroad from Tallahassee, Florida, TO Balm
bridge, Georgia, via Concord and Attapulgus
would be profitable road, and would prove TO
be source of great profit 10 both Tallahassee
and cambridge 1t would pass through fine
farming section of country, and would not be
more expensive 10 build than roads through
other sections. The route would be through a
fine farming portion of Leon county, passing be-
tween Lakes Jackson and IamOnia and crossing
Ocklockonee river at point called q Grisseti's
bend " between the Whidden and Gotten ferries
then through Gadsden county via Concord to
the Georgia line. We would respectfully call
the attention of the Dission Company surveyors
to the advantages of this route
A road from Bainbridge to Tallahassee, and
the St Marks road extended by trestles to the
deep water of the bay, would prove grand thing
for Tallahassee. May her citizens look well to
their interests
Our present State administration" by having
property rightly assessed, by making taxable
property of waste lands, and by giving an i'm
petus Ia the railroad cause, has done much for
our State. d. PATTERSON

The Union copies Meacham's call
"To the Colored People of the State of
Florida" and observes:
First This call, issued by leader of the col
ored people, shows more clearly than any words
we can frame the real nature and purpose of any
"independent move in Florida or the South
The colored kite which used to be wagged by a
carpetbag tail, is so an xious to be wagged-see-
ing it can't wag itsef-that it wants TO attach to
itself pure-blooded scallawag tail, big enough
and strong enough TO do the wagging.
The second observation we desire to make is,
that it must be disgusting TO all honest lovers of
right and justice to hear men like Meacham
stand up and pirate about fair elections and OBJ
tanning equal rights before the law" We have
seen Meacham, when a member of the Florida
Senate, vote day by day to retain men in their
seats who confessedly had no right to be there
except through the force of admitted fraud And
every citizen knows that here in Florida "all
men" enjoy equal rights before the law
However, it is just as we'll to call convention
and give the ambitious ones chance TO crate 7"
and resolute on spread eagle scale. 1t will
do no HARM and will be a source of immense
satisfaction to many. But at last the colored
people will find that there Are only two great
parties in this country, and that to accomplish
anything they must go with either the one or
the other. What the colored people want is
neither more political offices nor more of equal
rights before the law" but stricter habits of in
dustry, of thrift and economy They want to
learn 10 spend less on their pleasures and appe-
tites, acquire more and more the habit of saving
their earnings, and to cultivate the virtues of
honesty and sobricty. 1t is in this direction the
cOlored people will find the true line of advance
ment
