committee consisting of Revs. A.
Sprunt and w. G. Neville and Elder j. l..
Moore, was appointed to arrange for an
elders, and deacons' convention during
the summer.
Rev. H. B. Pratt, who has been preach
ing to the Mexicans in Texas, under the
direction of the presbytery, was contin-
ued in this work.
The presbytery passeda resolution en-
couraging the formation ofa Westminster
league in each church, and recommendin g
for its government the constitution adopt
ed by our last general assembly.
The presbytery authorized the perma-
nent committee on Sabbath schools to
arrange for a Sabbath school convention
to be held at Bethel church on the day
preceding the fall meeting.
A call from White Memorial church for
the pastoral services of Rev. O. g. Jones,
and calls from Pleasant Grove and Catho-
lie churches for the pastoral services OF
Rev. J.. G. Hall, were presented to those
brethren and arrangements were made
for their installation services at an early
date.
The presbytery decided to hold an ad-
journed meeting at Heath Springs on
Saturday before the 4th Sabbath in May
to receive Rev. Chalmers Moore from
Mecklenburg Presbytery, and install him
pastor over Heath Springs church.
The presbytery adjourned Friday nlgnt,
April "a, to meet in regular session at
Bethel church on Thursday before the
full moon in September next.
This was one of the busiest and most
pleasant meetings of presbytery which
your scribe has ever attended. We had
three sessions daily. The people OF Ches-
ter excelled themselves in hospitality. In
fact they fed us so we'll that quite num-
ber of the members became very much
indisposed and some had to leave before
the presbytery finally adjourned. We
were not used to such bountiful tables.
Chester, after this, certainly can't put up
much of plea for hard times before the
presbytery. 1t is to be hoped that the
Chester church will resolve to support a
foreign missionary. Brethren, you are
able. Try it and you will be blessed.
We missed very much our brethren,
McPheeters, McAllister and Winecotf.
The outlook for our church in the
bounds of this presbytery is very bright
and encouraging. We now have n min
listers, 53 churches and about 5000 COM
municants. What power for good this
army of the living God ought to WELD
Brethren let us work while it is called to-
day; for the night soon cometh when no
man can work. EPIscoPos.

The reader of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a. constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have SO much faith in
it's curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS PUNC-
TUATED.

Pious People.
Bill Nye said that people often thought
they were pious when they were simply
bilious. TO overthrow this diffusion and
come back to your right mind, take DR..
Jackson's Black Liver Pills.
A Letter From the Far West
Says, want more of your Anli-Ferment.
1t seems as if 1 can't live without it. l
am great sufferer from indigestion and
consequent arrangement of the stomach
and bowels. With Anti Ferment I can
cat anything that want.
The King Never Dies.
When king dies the populace shout,
1.-THE king is dead" and with the next
breath they cry, "Long live the king"
Before the warmth goes from the body of
dead king, the foot step of his successor
is heard at the door of the death chamber.
Neither will DIR. Jackson's Black Pills
die as long as men and women have
livers to get out Of order. For disorders
of the liver take DR.. Jackson's Black
Pills. Sold in Yorkville by Kuykendal.
Forewarned Is Forearmed.
At this season of the year and during
the summer months arrangement of the
stomach and bowels is of frequent and
often of fatal occurrence among both
grown persons and children. A specific,
certain and speedy cure, such as is found
in Campbell's Anti-Ferment should be
kept in every household in the land. In
cholera morbus, cholera intantum, diar'
rhna, dysentery and the wasting summer
complaints of children, it is Invaluable.
Can't Live Together.
Indigestion can't exist in the presence
of Anti-Ferment. A dose after each mea
will insure entire comfort during the
period of digestion.
