Why W. MADE REDucrloss.

Trade has been slow and we arc desirous of
promptly disposing of large surplus stock of
Spring and Summer fabrics the demand for which
has been checked by the unreasonable and gem
orally unfavorable condition of the weather.
We allow no goods to accumulate and 60 over

Relief from the First Application.

When a person has suffered the un'
told agonies of rheumatism and neu>
ralgia twenty-five years, when physi>
clans have failed, and when iiniment
cures at one application, the fact
ought to cause a thinking people to
pause and consider if a bottle of it
ought not to be in immediate readi-
ness in every household for the in
slant cure of the aches and pains that
aflict mankind. Such was the evil
dence of G. M. Sanders, of Madison,
Ala, and there are volumes of other
testimonials Of a like character to GER
tify that ''Mansfeld's Magic Arn'ca
Liniment is the best, the par excel
lence of all pain killers. Sold by

THE REVIVAL.

To say that we have had a revival
in COfeeville, is but feeble express
sion to convey a single idea commen-
surate with the feeling which trans
port every one now under the auspl-
cious influences of Gods bountiful
grace, as it is sweeping over this entire
community. SeIdsbness has been
driven out, and an alter of liberality
erected; Indifference has been demol-
ished, and high and exalted consid,
Grafton stimulated, which lifts its
sweet voice in favor of the despised,
neglected and forsaken, who have
failed to see the error of their way;
penury has been silenced, and charity
sheds its beautiful light over the
gloom made by the desolation of sin.
Allis joy, peace and happiness--love,
devotion and reverence. Everybody
has been made better, aud God has
been glori6ed through the instrument
tality of his earnest, Jealous and faith
full servants. There has never been
a greater change made in the hearts of
any people. God visited this place in
His power. Lethargy has folded its
gloomy banner, and Christian activity
has assailed the Notifications of
wrong, and, with determination, will
hold the fort. This revival COM
menced on Sunday, May the Bird,
and before Satan could rally his forces,
Christians were thoroughly in the field
and every heart fully made up to
strike blow for freedom--freedom
from sin. They were ready to place
in active service all the agencies,
powers, instrumentaities, and combs
nations of circumstances to accom-.
plish good, and through the grace of
God, it has been. The Rev. Mr..
William Robson, of Milan Tenn,
has conducted the services, and with
vigor has he prosecuted the work al
lotted to him. His earnest attacks
against sin, in every conceivable
form, were so well directed, that they
took immediate effect, and were the
happy means of sending consterna-
ton to the ranks of sin, vitality to
the ranks of religion. Coffeeville is
now a converted town, and instead of
being linked to hell by chain of sin,
it is bound to heaven by the golden
chord of Gods eternal love and grace.
1t has not only reached those appa.
rently tender-hearted, but all classes
OF sinners, from the youth to the old
man, from the moralist to the hardest
sinner, from the purest to the worst,
The back-slider has been renewed
the unrighteous converted, and the
negligent made active and earnest
The value of Cofeeville as home fol-
strangers, has been increased tenfold
and her capacity for hospitable enter
tainment enlarged in proportion tC
to the goodness of heart developed by
Divine grace. Our cup of joy is full
-COfeeDilIe Times.
