WHITE AND COLORED
Pastors Come Together to Work in Harmony for Betterment of the
 Latter Race.

A few days ago a call was issued re- questing all the white and colored min isters to come together for the purpose of securing some means of bettering the religious condition of the latter race.
 Pursuant to the call large number of ministers assembled in the First Meth odist church yesterday morning.
 pr. w. A. Whittle was called to the chair and stated the object of the meet ing.
 The question of how the white minis ters could best aid the colored ministers was freely and fully discussed The drift of opinions was that the ministers should be drawn closer together in the work of saving souls. The opinion prevailed and a committee of three white and three coi- ored ministers were selected as follows: Revs w. A. Whttle, J. c. Morris and J. H. Barbour. white; and Revs. Jordan, Banton and Cole, eolored.
 Among the talks made were several by colored ministers, which showed them to be men of education and ability.
 The committee will meet this afternoon al 239 o'clock, in the study of the pastor of the First Methodist church, when plans will be agreed upon to carry out the opinions suggested at the meeting.

Owing to the rain and high water
several feet of the canal bank gave way
Monday noon, the water flooding the
gardens and street between the factory
and depot, filing the cellars and doing
considerable damage. AT the depot the
water put out the fire in the furnace
and at the bank the cellar with the
wood therein was flooded DIR. Story's
cellar, woodshed and hen house were
also flooded, in fact nearly every cellar
had from two to four feet of water.
Only ten days before the same places
were flooded by a break in the canal
bank close by this one. Sunday and
Monday the river was very high, flood
ing the meadows and forcibly remind
ing one of the high water in 1869. Tues
day afternoon came the first mail
through from Boston since Saturday
evening.

An Efficient Cure.
From the Youths Companion. ]


A middle aged bachelor went in to
see his married sister, and found her
trying to amuse her little boy, who was
3 years old. Not long after he arrived
she stepped out of the room to attend
to some household matter or other,
leaving him alone with the child. The
boy eyed him obviously for some min
utes. He was spoiled child, if ever
there was one, and had no idea of max
ing promiscuous acquaintance. The
bachelor tried to make the little one
laugh, but all he got for his antics was
sour look. Finally, without warning,
the chilli burst out crying. Here was
a quandry, to be sure. The man didn't
dare to pick the boy up and sooth him.
His attempts in a verbal line were dis
NAL failures. What should he do?
Finally thought struck him. He
looked at the crying youngster, and the
crying youngster looked at him.

IDLY in weight and strength, they need
more and more some active means of
supplying the nerves and tissues with
better nutrition, and the veins with,
better blood. When Paine's celery COM

young persons, the mother is often|
amazed at the rapidity with which it'll
restores the strength, builds up the|
worn nervous tissues, and replaces the|
languor of a depleted nervous SYSTEM
by the elasticity ofyouthful health.
Paine's celery compound makes peo-
pie well-not only worn out, enfeebled
men and women of mature age, but
young persons whose slighter powers
have been overtaxed by excitement OF
immoderate work without proper inter-
walls for rest and repair.
Paine's celery compound has played
a most important part in the lives of
thousands of young people in every Sec
ton of this country. Many whose ner-
vous systems had been so stimulated as
to unfit them utterly for study, it-has.
made vigorous and strong enough to
ably bear the burden of coming years.
1t has enabled them to grow up vigor-
Gus men and women in the world. Mr..
James B. Wetzel, writing from his
home in New Berlin, Penn, says:
ALLOW me to speak few words in
praise of Paine's celery compound. My
younger sister, whose picture | send
you, was subject to nervous attacks,
and, we thought, to heart trouble We
tried numerous medicines for her all
ments, but without much avail Last
winter she had a severe attack of nerv-
Gus trouble with her eyes, and we gave
her Paine's celery compound and she
improved wonderfully upon it, and she
has been well ever since. If these few
words of unsolicited testimony can be
of any benefit please use them as my
unbiased and unprejudiced opinion"

Nervous exhaustion in children is
worrying a great many fathers and
mothers these days.
While the hurry and hustle of mod
ern life is bringing constantly increas-
ing strain upon grown men and women,
there certainly comes to light the start
ling fact of a growing tendency toward
nervousness among their children.
AS these boys and girls, when older,
will enter life of nervous strain fully
as exacting as that of to-day, it is no
wonder that parents view with dismay
these early signs of nervous weakness,
and anxiously seek some means Of
making the young people strong and
well again. The remedy is at hand in
every city and town in America.
1t is the remedy first prescribed by
that greatest of all modern educators,

celery compound, which Principal
Camp of New Haven and Pres. Cook of
the National Teachers association have
so recently recommended.
Countless parents to-day give their
children Paines celery compound and
see them grow robust and vigorous day
by day before their eyes till they are
again restored to the perfect health that
belongs to youth. Physicians every
where advise the use of this greatest of
blood purifiers and nerve foods.
One of the danger signals of nervous
exhaustion among young people is the
lack of desire for food and the caprici-
BUSINESS of appetite. When their over
pressed nervous systems have been
driven to the point of exhaustion, their
faces grow pale and pinched, their
spirits decline, their bodies lose percept-
