The MOTT unhappiest

Man now in regards to religion, about
the most unhappiest and changeful
man ever run up with was old man
Drury Griffin. which he used to run
little water mill down on Deer Creek.
He was middlin good farmer and the
bulliest sort of a mill man, bat some
how or somehow else he never could
git along smooth and easy with his
church. In religion old man Drury was
jest simply two or three times too many
for himself. He didn't have the neces-
sary stickin and stayin qualities, VIII ere
as he was forever and eternally foppin
around from the fire into the fryin pan
and back again.
Old man Drury started out when he
was right young man by takin stock
with the Old School Baptists over at
Cool Spring church. Everything run
smooth and easy with him for six
months or year. but late along in the
summer they held the reglar three DAYS
meetin at Cool Springs, with feet wash
in on Sunday. Right then and there
old man Drury got hfs back up and
kicked over the traces. He didn't be-
lieve in feet washin and he wouldn't
have no finger in the pie. He didn't
make out like he. was smarter than the
preacher, and he couldn't give any
scripture for maxim the kick He jest
simply didn't believe in it and he never
expected to believe in it if he lived
nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
The church then got together and
sent committee to wait on Brother
Griffin and talk some sense into his
head if such thing could possibly be
done. But it was all vanity and vexa-
ton, you understand. Old man Drury
got his dander up higher and yet more
higher till presently the committee had
to give him up as bad egg and a gone
goslin. He stuck to it that he was a
genuine Primitive Baptist, horned and
bred and brung up in the faith. but he
wouldn't take no feet washin in his'n.
The committee reported the general
results back to the church, and after
short talks from various and sundry
members touchin the pecurious conduct
of the hayward and wandeTin brother,
II was settled that the case would &c
oyer to the next reglar meetin, hopir
maybe old man Drury would git back
into the fold. But instid of that he goi
worse and worse and still more of it till
| finally at last the church had to turn
him out and put up the bars behind
him.

r. W. Edwards, Of Lansingburg, was
FRUSTRATED by sunstroke during the war,
and il has entailed on him peculiar and 80
rious consequences. At present. writing
Mr.. e. is prominent officer of Post Lyon,
g. A. R., Cohoes and a past aide de camp on
the staff Of the commander-in-chief OF AL
bany Co. In the interview with reporter,
he said:
81 was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together with
others to Washington ride Of about 100
miles. Having no room in the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom OF fiat
cars. The sun beat down upon our hnpro-
tected heads. When reached Washington
Twas inseusible and was iideonsciou for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease, nervous prostitution, In.
somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. As e last RESORT took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to wonder
full degree. My rheumatism il gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipatiGa
are about gone, and the absaess in my ear
has stopped disoharg1ng and my head feels
as clear as bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat
tered nervous system Is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers" Mr.. Edwards said,
lido they look as il there was any rheuma-
slsm therep He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like q
young boy, "a year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the joints and SO stiff that could
not hold pen. My knees would swell up,
~ rf, 1s@r1,f ton nr1f u
joints would squeak when moved them.
That's the living truth.
tiWhen came to think thatI was going to
be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest of my ailments, l tell you life
seemed not worth living ! suffered from
despondency I cannot begin to tell you,"
said Mr.. Edwards, as he drew along breath,
''what my feeling is at present. / think if
you lifted ten years right off my life and
left me prime and vigorous at forty seven,
could feel no better. l was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. That In ITSELF" continued Mr..
Edwards, 'swould be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that l am no longer what you
might call nervous and that my heart is APP
parently nearly healthy, and that / can
pear to speak in extravaganza praise OF Pink
Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head, and at
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
limbs a year ago, my legs being cold and
clammy at times. Now the circulation
thereis as full and as brisk as at any other
part of my body. i used to be SO light
headed and dizzy from my nervous dis
order that frequently fell while crossing
| the floor of my house Spring is coming
and never felt better in my life, and am
looking forward to busy season Of work. /"

A Crssin Methodist.

BY this time. You understand, Drury
Grifan was mad with the whole world
In general, and Cool Springs church in
particlar. The more he talked about it
the madden he got till the next thing
anybody knowed he was cnssin worse
than stage driver. Along in protract~
ed meetin times the followin summer
all of suddentlike he bloomed out as
a full-blooded Methodist and got his
name on the books over at Bark Log
church. He was fghtin mad with the
Old School Raptists and wanted to git
as far away from them as possible jest
for spite, whereas he run slap out to
the other end of the rope. 1t was a
monstrous long jump, but Drury made
it at one leap.
But it want many months before
they had him up before church meet
in over at Bark Log charged with sayin
things unbecomin to good member OF
the Methodist church. To put it in
plain United States he had been cussin
to beat six bits till the church couldn't
stand it no longer. When they brought
Drury up Elder Smith took the case in
hand and put in some straight ques-
tions.
Brother Griffin" says he, 1.-THE news
has come to the church that you have
been cussin and carryin on till it is a
plum scandalaeion. The church is
bound to keep her skirts clear and I'M
spotted from the world. Have you got
anything to say as to why you should
not be treated like weak and way
ward and wanderin brother"
81 will own up to cussin a little
around the edges" says old Drury, but
as to my general walk / am willin to
show records with any man in the
church. am as good Methodist az
you are Elder. but whensomever git
right mad / maybe mought cuss little.
have heard tell of cussin Methodists
an the days of my lie, and my notion
is that the best of Methodists will cu4
a little when you stir 'em up and git
'em good mad. My mainest weak pin,
Is for cussiD, but on general principles
am as good Methodist as any of the
committee. Methodist, Methodist il
my name, and Methodist will die"
They wanted old Drury to take it ali
back and say he was sorry, but he
couldn't see it that way. He went or
from bad to worse with his weak pint
for cussin, till the church got together
aud throwed him overheard, and th,
old ship sailed on and left him.
