Spring Medicine

There is no other season when good
medicine is SO much needed as in the
Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impoverished-a condition indicated
by pimples and other eruptions on the
face and body, by deficient vitality,
loss of appetite, lack of strength, and
want of animation.

Stop the
Blight

1t is a sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
1t is worse to sec a blight

is the natural right CT children.
But some Of them don't get
their rights. While the rest

small and weak.

that blight. There is no

Elizabeth, w. Va. An old man there
by name OF &. w. Roberts had long suf-
fered with incurable cancer. Everybody
believed his case hopeless until he used
Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen's
Aruica Salve The treatment cured him
completely. Now everybody who knows
of it is investigating Electric Bitters.

business, kidney and liver troubles and
it's wonderful tonic for run down sys-

Essex County Sunday School
Convention.

The Seventh Annual Convention of
the Essex County Sunday School Asso-
citation was held in this place Tuesday
and Wednesday. 1t proved to be one
of the most successful gatherings in the
history of the Association. The conven-
ton opened under the most favorable
conditions. The weather on Tuesday
was all that could be desired and nearly
all those assigned to parts on the pro-
gramme were present, two conditions
which have not always prevailed in the
past. A few delegates arrived by team
during the day, and others came on the
noon train. 1t was arranged that dinner
should be served at the Congregational
parsonage for all from out of town. At
$50 the convention opened with +. L.

of the Association, in the chair. After
brief devotional services Mr. Porter II.

Hon. F. d. Hale of Lunenburg, secretary
of the Association, responded in well
chosen words. The first address of the
afternoon was by Rev. Thos. Hall, whose
subject was " The duty Of the Church to
the Sunday School," Mr.. Hall said that
the Sunday School is the child of the
Church and as such deserves all possible
help and encouragement. 1t is the duty
of the Church to provide the best posi-
BILE help and accommodations for the
Sunday School. The Church shoulc

At the conclusion of the business session
Miss Dale favored the convention with
another finely rendered solo.
An address on "The Per onal Contact
of Teacher aud Pupil" was given by Rev.
f. j. Gale. This address emphasized
the importance of the teachers real in
terest in the pupil and the effect of a
close friendship between them. The
question, "Why should business man
have to do with the Sunday SchoolT'
was answered in an interesting way by
A. w. Bosworth, .Ir. The Sunday
School, he said, means much to the CON-
munity; it helps to make better town
it should therefore appeal to the bust.
ness man. Contact with children also
helps man to keep young, helps him
to be honest aud decent in his business
while business experience ought to be a
help to the Sunday School. The next
address was by Rev. A. NJ. Smith OF
West Concord, who spoke upon "Means
of Progress in Sunday School Work.
lie suggested progress along numerical
mental, :aoral and spiritual lines. A
paper upon Our Results" was read by
Miss Eaton in which the great increase
in efficiency in Sunday School work was
traced. The fact of great success in the
past should he an encouragement to
greater effort in the future. In the alb
sence of Rev. G. l.. Story, the subject

Extraordinary Railroad Progress.


Poor's Manual for the fiscal year
ended June 80, just Issued, presents
a statement of the growth Of railroads
in this country which is almost incred-
ible.
According to this statement, the mile
age of roads increased by 4,453 miles,
the total now being $4,000, Of which
about $4,000 miles are In operation.
The gross earnings were $1,6l2, AS, 1876
and operating expenses $1.O92. 154. 900.
The net earnings, including m.scella-
neous receipts. were over $5SS. 900. 900.
The roads have &c. engines. 27,144
passenger cars, SGT mail and express
cars and 1,4O9,472 freight cars as com.
pared with 21,ss9 engines, 14.934 pas
senger cars and 730, 435 freight cars IN
1892, and yet the locomotive works are
behind on orders, and car works cannot
turn out freight cars fast enough to
take care of business. The total
amount of stock, bonds and unfunded
debt is $12,326, 491, 526. The average
interest for the year was 4.21 and the
average dividend 2.62.
There Is in these figures gratifying
evidence of national prosperity. and
still the growth In railroads has scarce
ly kept pace with the development Of
the country. While there has been a
great increase in rolling stock during
the year, the railroads have not enough
to transport promptly the great volume
Of freight offered to them.

to be the more interesting of the two.

bers they should still be looked after
with great care. Following Mr.. Halls
address Mrs. Nellie B. Morse of Lancas-
ter gave an exceedingly interesting talk
to the children, 1t was greatly enjoyed,
not only by the children but 10y all who
had the privilege of being present. Rev.
VIM. c. II. Moe of Cranky addressed
the convention on The need of clear
er conception of the Christ" In strong
and forceful words he urged the Sunday
School teacher to hold ever before his
pupils clear picture of Jesus as the
Christ, the Son of Con. His address
vas thoughtful and earnest. Miss Judd
of Canaan, whose name appeared next
on the programme, was unable to be
present, but she sent her paper, which
was read by Mr.. Hale. Its subject was
"Should the Sunday School teacher be
trained?" Her answer was in the affirm
alive. The paper was we'll written and
showed serious thought upon the sub
ject. Rev. +. b. Blodgett of Bloomfield
was next introduced and read a paper
on "Some conditions that must exist
before we can have model Sunday
| School" Some of the necessary condi-
tons are more work on the part of a
greater number of people, the co-opera-
ton of parents with the teachers, and
more Bible study at home. This was
the last topic for the afternoon.
TUESDAY EVENING.
The evening session was held in the
Methodist Church and was attended by
a large number of people. After short
service of song, aud prayer by Rev. Mr..
Moe, Rev. q. +. Read of Stanstead was
introduced as the first speaker. His ad-
dress was of an unusually high order
His topic was "The function of the Sun
dav School," This he defined as the i'm
parting to those within the school "a
thorough, comprehensive, and reasonable
knowledge of the Bible" He spoke of
the International System of Sunday
School lessons, and commended its ex-
cellent results, saying that it had brought
order out of chaos. But he was of the
opinion that better system could be
devised. Uniformity of method is less
important than unity ofpurpose. Begin,
he suggested, with the Life of Christ,
then let the lessons be graded. He spoke
in high terms of the modern historical
method of Bible study. The address
was listened to with the closest attention.
After finely rendered solo by Miss
Dale, Mrs. E. M. Bartlett read an excel
lent paper on "The Sunday School teach
er's methods and aims She emph;.-
sized the Importance of special training
for the teacher and gave many helpful
suggestions as to how the teachers work
could be successfully accomplished. In
the absence of Rev. &. L. Story, the state
superintendent, Rev. p. n. Granger o.
West Concord spoke on "The mode

= tian, should have pleasing personality

address. Miss Bessie Dodge then recitec
