A Healing Fountain.
~. II. Mills. |

Far back amid the mountains of North
been heard is indeed d healing spring Of
water gushing forth from the side OF tGe
mountain. 1t is Thompson's famous Bro
mine and Arsenic Springs in Ashe county
beyond the Blue Ridge and On the pictur-
esque New River. 1t was discovered by
little boy playing in the mountain stream
let and lingering by rocky elf where he
found cool clear water bubIGg forth He
played so long in the unk Known healing
water with a very sore arm that next
morning when he got up he found his arm
almost healed. So, for years afterwards
many went there to wash and heal their
sores. 1t has been purchased by a COM
pany who ship the water to various parts
Of the country and many testify 10 its
healing merits.
The Ashe and Allegheny Association
convened near this spring and we spent
two nights at the hotel there. The water
is cool and tasteless and comes cut off the
rocky cliff. 1t was forty miles from any
railroad station and on "A mountainous re-
giOn which renders it difficult to reach,
but we found people there from Texas.
The water is undoubtedly beneficial III Il

it for that purpose, they may have the
free use of it for 20 years; or as long as

We may not be able to give large pensions

and have suffered so much for the defence
of what they believed to be right, but we
can give them such care and comforts as

been more fortunate in the hard battle Of

REV. THOMAS DIXON. JR.
Addresses the Meeting OF LOYAL w eerne,
of American Liberty.

/
| New York Timesl
Mrs. Shepherd introduced the Rev.
| thomas Dixon, Jr., the orator of the even
ing. whose speeches in Boston in the mu-
| nlclpal campaign on the public school
! question gained him great reputation.
| Mr.. Dixon is tail and dark. He has an
exceedingly thin and straight figure. with
strongly marked features and piercing
black eyes. He is the new pastor Of the
Twenty third Street Baptist Church.
| He said he wanted it distinctly uuder-
stood that his breast held no hard feelings
against the Roman Catholic people or
| priesthood. He had the kindliest feeling
| for them and in what he should say Of
Romanism he wanted to be understood us
referring to the Roman hierarchy, the ec-
clesiaStical machine. That Church had
mistaken the genius of American nstitu-
tions He conceded to every Romapist
the right and privilege of worship, and
how and when and where he pleased; and
what he conceded to him he demanded
for himself but this the Roman church
was not willing to concede. she had Ia
ken d position upon the the question of
religious liberty that meant war to the
death, on free institutions. Between them
and the Roman Church was an open grave
and one or the other would have to lie in it,
The question OF the exclusion of the
King James version Of the Bible from the
public schools was one OF comparative un-
Importance. The schools were not god
less because the Bible was not read in
them. In the Boston election, the orator
said, thousands of Catholics voted with
the majority for the maintenance of the
free schools, as would also be the case
when the struggle came in New York.

THE Washington Post has caused COM
motion ia Washington. Its charge is that
examination papers We're stolen and sold
by clerk of he Civil Service Commission.
The Post says that lady who went TO a
teacher in Washington for instruction,
preparatory to taking the examination,
was furnished by the teacher for a conSid-
GRAFTON with a copy of the questions subse-
queutly asked. These questions, it says,
were il the handwriting Of MIR CAMPBELL,
one of the clerks TO the commission and a
brother-inla law OF Commissioner LYMAN
The matter was brought by Commissioner
OBERLY to Mr. LYMAN's attention, and
the published account says that the next
morning Commissioner LYMAN told MIR.
OBERLY that his (LYMAN'S) wife was per-
fectly overcome; that a public exposure
would Kill her. and that CAMPBELL. was as
penitent as he could be.
Afterwards the clerk who sold the eX-
animation paper was promoted.

IN HIS OPENING SERMON before the Epis-
cOpal Convention in New York BISHOP
WHlPPLE made the following reference to
The Negro in the Church: 1--WE have
some problems peculiar to ourselves.
Twenty five years ago four millions of
slaves received American citizenship. The
nation owes them debt of gratitude.
During all the horrors of our civil war
they were the protectors of Southern wo-
men and children. Knowing the failure
of their masters would be the guarantee
of their freedom, there was not one act
that master or slave might wish to blot.
We ought not, and God will not, forget it.
To-day there are eight millions. They are
here to stay. They will not be disfranchis-
ed. Through them Africa can be redeem
ed. They ought TO be our fellow citizens
in the Kingdom of God. In great crisis
of missions the Holy Ghost sent Philip on
long journey to preach Christ to one
man of Ethiopia. The same blessed Spirit
of God calls Us in the love of Christ to
carry the Gospel in the church to the mil
lions of colored citizens of the United
States"

HINTS FOR OAIRYMEN.
Suggestions Concerning the saItlng and
Marketing of Butter.

Suggestions Concerning the salting and
Marketing of Butter.
1t should be the rule to get the
purest and best salt to be obtained for
the purpose, as the best is none too
good A small amount saved on
hundred pounds of salt is Of little con-
sequence if it proves in any manner to
be inferior and thus Injuries the quail
ity of the butter. Get the best kind
and then continue to use it rather than
experiment with other brands or
grades. Get the best tubs. The out
side appearance of the packages has
some influence on the sale of the con-
tents, as dealer would not be likely
to look for fine quality of butter in
an inferior looking tub quite as soon
as in clean No. l package. Better
pay five or ten cents extra for the
right kind of a package rather than
take poor one as a gift. There is
good deal of difference in the quality
of the timber from which the tubs are
made. The firm-grained kind that will
not become brine-soaked and smeared
before reaching market is what will
give the best satisfaction.
A word about marketing the pro-
duct: Of course every farmer that
makes his own butter should endeavor
to secure as good market for 1t as
possible. Whether-he can do best by
selling at home, sending it to the COM
mission men in the cities or by looking
up some special customer to whom he
can send direct will be for him to de-
termine. But one course would not
seem to be best in the end, that is to
have no stated market, but selling
first to one and then to another,
wherever for the time the best price
may be obtained. Perhaps for few
weeks or months, if there is some COM
petition, he may get little more
money, but it will be at the expense
of finding a steady market and obtain
ing a reputation for his product, which
is very desirable in the course OF years.
Usually the dairymen who succeed
best are those who have obtained
good reputation for their butter in the
market. and which is of such quality
as to command satisfactory price
year after year. Some say that such
a course as this is not progress. but we
believe there may be too frequent
changes to be of real benefit to those
making them, and it is well to remem-
Der the old adage Look before you
leap."-St. Albans Messenger.
