To Replace the One Now Occupied by the Cumberland Presby-
 terian Church.

The Cum berland Presbyterian congrega- ton of this city have begun to raise funds for erecting a new church building.

 One member of the aggregation has agreed to raise s5000 of the building fund, and several others have signified their will inguess to contribute rom S500 to 5000 each.
 The new edifce will occupy the corner lot at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, ad- joining the present building.

The committee is taking special inter- est in water powers, but all along the line the trend of the investigation has been more on the line of labor situation than anything else. The cost Of coal has been found to be satisfactory, the supply of cot ton entirely so, and the welcome of the people most encouraging. Indeed, the committee has in it's trip through the Caro- linas and Georgia been pretty well satisfied that for some time to come there is no cause for apprehe from the labor agitator or organizer.
 At Chester the party was joined, upon in- vitation of Mir. D. A. Hopkins of Char lotte, who was in charge, by MT. Joseph Wylie, vice. president. and MT. J., M.

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure blood, for no person is weak and ner- vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
 When the blood is full of the germs of disease, and lacking in the red cor puscles which give it vitality, when it fails to properly nourish the organs and tissues of the body, what can you expect but that tired feeling and ner- vousness?
 Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni versally recognized as blood diseases, for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the best blood purifier, is everywhere acknowled the greatest remedy.
 Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla cures all blood diseases, it is the best remedy for that condition of the blood which causes Nervousness.
 It is a false idea to think you are 7 curing your nervousness when you are taking a preparation which only quiets your nervesl It is like trying to "drown" your sorrows in the flowing bowl. They are sure to return.
 We wish to make most impressive, then, this truism:
 You cannot purify your blood by DEADENING or QUILTING your nerves with opiate, narcotic or nerve com- pounds. If you take such articles you are only TRrFLING with your troubles. There is SURE to be a REAC- TIoN which will leave you worse than you were before.
 Why not then, take the true course, follow the bee-lin to the state of health, purify your blood and cure your Nervousness by taking
