The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such q
remarkable event is treasured in the
memory and the agency whereby the good
health has been attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard
in praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to health, to

Union meeting at Barkes,s Creek.

The Union Meeting of the 1st District,
Saluda Association, met at Barker's Creek
Church, three miles west of Honea Path,
last Saturday and Sunday. The 1st Dis.
trict is composed mostly of the Churches
of the upper section of Abbeville County,
and as q consequence large crowd Of the
good people of both Counties attended the
meeting. We had long had desire to
visit the Barkers' Creek section, and ook
advantage of this occasion to make the
visit.
Early Sunday morning, in company with
cur clever young friend, G. F. Bigby. Tho
was born and reared in that section, We
left the city, and had not gone far before we
were overtaken by several other young
gentlemen from the city, all of whom
we're bound for the same place. When we
reached the Church the people were COM
ing in from every section, and it was soon
evident that the Church would not near
seat the crowd.
About ii o'clock the Sunday School
Union was called to order by Mr., NJ. b.
Wright, the Superintendent, with DR.. J.
A. Robinson as Secretary. All tho schools
in the District were represented, and short
reports of the condition of each school was
made by the various delegations, all of
which was listened to with much interest.
The usual business of the Union was then
transacted, after which interesting adj
dresses relative to the Sunday School work
were delivered by Messrs. T. L. Clinkscales
sr., NJ. B. MCGEE and others. The busi'
ness Of the Sunday School Union was fin
ished about l o'clock, when recess Of
forty minutes was announced for dinner.
The people generally had brought their
dinners with them, and those who had not
been so wise did not lack for invitations to
dine with friends. We had numerous
Invitations. and our only regret was that we
could not accept all of them.
After dinner the Union again assem-
bled, and those who were fortunate enough
to get into the Church had the pleasure OF
hearing a most interesting sermon from
the Rev. R. D. Hawkins, pastor of Little
River Church.
The next Union Meeting will be held
with Walnut Grove Church, in AbbeVille
County, on the fifth Sunday in June.
The occasion was certainly most pleas
ant and profitable one to all who were so
fortunate to be present. We have never
had the privilege of visiting more hospi.
table section or seeing more pretty girls
gathered together at similar meeting. It
was our first visit in that section, but il
will not be the last, and we feel safe in
saying that the other young men who
went from Anderson will 60 back again.
We had our eyes on them, but we prom
i5ed not to tell about their movements.
