The readers of the San Saba News will
be pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon tie blood
and mucus surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength, by build
ing up he constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The proprietors

that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for

lditor San Saba News:

Editor San Saba News:
We lad lively times in Ponto-
toe last week. The long looked
for debate between Mr.. Williams,
of the Missionary Baptist church
and Mr.. Tant, of the Christian
church, came off. Large crowds
were in attendance, and a lively
interest was aroused. The debat-
ants, though unlike in many re-
spects, were pretty equally yoked.
Each party went off claiming the
victory, while the lockers on in
Venice, felt that they stood upon
an immovable rock-even Christ
Jesus. The debate was conducted
with good humor, and closed with
Seueatel.s=-s+ehaAisg 4-.
We are to have Sunday school
celebration on the first day of
May-Can you not come up? A
letter from Bro. Black informs me
that the San Saba District Confer
ence will convene in Llano, on
Thursday before the fifth Sunday
in June. We are to have q great
camp meeting at the Shed, on
Loss creek, beginning on Thurs
day before the first Sunday in
July. The Mason and Freedonia
circuits are to unite with Pontotoc.
Three qarterly meetings meet at
the same time and place. Tell all
the preachers to come. We hope
to have a glorious meeting, by the
blessing of God. You. Mr.. Editor,
may consider yourself specially in
vited.
Crop prospects are good. Health
and peace prevail at the present,
for which all ought to be thankful
to the Great Oliver of every good
and perfect gift.

The alligator of the south, like the buff
falo of the west, is likely soon to become

Texas has law on her statute book
fixing a penalty for killing a hooking
bird or other song birds, or disturbing
their nests. Now at the beginning of the

il would be a good time to make few
arrests of the viOlators of that law, and
thus, perhaps, save from extinction the
pretty birds which were once so plentiful
in this country.

For two years I had rheumatism
SO bad that it disabled me for
work, and confined me to my bed
for a whole year, during which
time 1 could not even raise my
hands to my head, and for three
months could not raise myself in
bed; was reduced in flesh from
1872 to Sc lbs; was treated by best

thus be in condition to be used By
