u few OF the citizens of this town
were called together by the ringing
OF the court house bell last Wednes.
day morning, 10 consider the alvisa.
biiity of aiding and abetting some
c"iored divines in securing grounds
and holding camp meeting. Rev.
Brown, colored, and others, spoke in
favor of the meeting, while Rev. Sam
Robinson opposed it. Others were
non committal. Reports rs to the
manner of conducting these meetings
were conflicting and the disiuterested
observer could hardly reach salts
factory conclusion. 70 camp meet
ings of any kind we are unqualified
~ opposed. We like for the people
to get together and have ais good a
time as possible, but we prefer to have
1t under some other name than that
OF religious worship. AS to the man
ner in which these gentlemen conduct
their meetings We take the following
from the State Journal:
"THE BALLOON DIDN'T GO UP"
"There wera 800 people present
at the colored camp meeting at Eliz.
abeth yesterday. The Hilton took
up small party ofe xcursionists from
this city. The balloon ascension was
not made ON account of the storm,
but one OF the famous Alligator Bats
gave a tight rope performance, while
the colored Bishops" played length
lily and passed the collection plate
frequently. OF all the camp meet
ings ever held here about the one now
going on at Elizabeth the worst and
most sacriligious ever heard of"

one OF the most widely known men in
the state, was cured of rheumatism
after three years Of suffering. He
says: 81 have not sufficient command
of language to convey any idea of
what l suffered, my physician told me
that nothing could be done for me-;
and my friends were fully convinced
that nothing but death would relieve
me OF my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
w heeling Drug Co, recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal
size and IT seemed to me my leg would
burst, but soon atterI began using
the Pain Balm, the swelling began TO
decrease, the pain to leave, and now
consider that | am entirely cured"
