Saturday night quite n sensation was
precipitated by fight on the stage be-
tween Editor Carmack OF The Com
mercial Appeal and Attorney General

the gambling saloons and Illicit liquor
selling element was banded together
against the cause OF silver. Mr.. Patter-
son walked on the platform, and the
crowd would not hear him until Mr.
Carmack had appealed for fair play.
After a few remarks Mr.. Patterson said
that any man that said he was I'm league
with the gambling element said what
was UNANIMOUSLY false. These words were

Our esteemed and ever flat-footed
contemporary, the Newport News, has in
its little say about the syndicate sermon
that IL secured at few cents a column
for the Sunday newspaper as a sop to the
"religious element" says the News
"A series of sermons has been prepared
for suuch newspapers as will pay for
them, and they are issued from week to
week, with fair notice that they are copy
righted and must not be copied. IL was
scarcely necessary to append such
notification, for such milk and water dis
courses are in little danger of being
cribbed by the newspapers. As essays,
some OF them are fairly good, but II is
pretty plain that the preachers have been
careful to conoeii thier opinions about
the Gospel, lest the public might think
they were prejudiuced in its favor"
These remarks indicate that the editor OF
our Newport contemporary must have
read at least one of these "sermons" which
is more than the average reader of the
Sunday newspaper is ever tempted to do.

8 Mt. Vernon Place, Charlestown,
TO the public
We know the mi sery that is caused by
stomach troubles, for both my wife and 1
have been SO afflicted wi tn suffering of
the worst sort that there seemed no longer
any hope of health or even comfort. In
fact, my wife, life despaired of, and
was about to give up active employment.
Mrs. Gale was for a number of years
victim of dyspepsia, which grew more and
severe until she was completely pros
trated. She sent into the country by
her doctor, but when she returned she could
not stand up without support. For long
time she was unable to eat solid food, and
diet of prepared milk she was un-
able, to gain strength escape suffering.
We sought the best advice could obtain,
but the result was failure in every case.
When we first tried Puritana we were
without other hope and as far as my wife
concerned, did not believe that she
would ever RECOVER. After q few weeks
there was marked change and from that
time on her Improvement grew more rapid
from day to- day. The stomach trouble dis
appeared and her whole system was
brought into healthy condition.
Mrs. Gale belongs to the Daughters Of
Rebekah and other Charlestown societies,
and when she could attend the meetings,
and also eat her share of the daintieS,
it a great surprise to the ladies who
had known of her infirmity. For the first
time in years she found that she could eat
piece of New England pie, and her
stomach digests any food.
My own suffering has been great that
I could not engage in any exhausting occu-
patton. The effect Of Puri tana in my case
has been only less wonderful than in the
case Of my wife. I have received greater
benefits from 1t than from all other medi-
cines and the doctors put together, and
recommend it in the highest terms to my
friends.
We bless the day when heard Of
Puri tana, for it has given US Life.

Protraeted Meeting.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch.

1O GuS LulLOL VI GAO Lao pawn
I take great pleasure in writing
about our protracted meeting at
Union church. It began on the 9th
of August and lasted until the 18th.
1t seemed that our people came at
the very beginning of the meeting
with full purpose OF heart to accom-
plish that great end Of having a
blessing richly poured out upon
them. They hungered and thirsted
after blessing, and in the word OF
God we have the promise that he
that hurgereth after righteousness
shall be filled; thank God! we We're
filled with the grace of God in our
souls. Give me the religion that
will 90 down into the healt and
purge it of all hatred, malice, envy,
and evil doing; and then we will
take pleasure in working for Jesus
and the church.
fear one of the greatest draw
backs in the church today is, there
is too much religion in the head and
not enough in the heart. I pray
that the Lord may give US all more
heartfelt religion. A religion not
only to live by but such a one as
will abundantly bless us at the try
ing hour OF death.
Our faithful pastor, Rev. j. D.
Shealy, was assisted in this meeting
by Revs. A. W. Lindler, T. ". Shealy
and J. D. Kinard, Lutherans; and
Revs. N. G. Ballenger and [. n.
Stone, NJ thodist. These brethren
faithfully preached the word, which
sprang up and brought forth much
fruit to the honor and glory OF our
dear risen Savior. Many were lead
to see their lost and ruined condition
and to cry out, "Lord! what must L
do to be saved!" A great number
of these found peace to their never
dying souls and were made to re-
joice and sing praises to the blessed
Lamb of God. Twenty-four persons
were united with the church and the
membership greatly revived. Long
will tlis glorious meeting be remem,
bered when it seemed the partition
