The Great Dismal Swamp

Malaria germs. So is low, wet or marshy
ground everywhere. These germs cause
weakness, chills and fever, aches in the
bones and muscles, and may induce dan
gerous maladies. But Electric Bitters
never fail to destroy them and cure ma
larial troubles. They will surely pre-
vent typhoid. 1--WE tried many remedies

CHURCH DEDICATED.
Interesting and Solemn Event at
Georgetown On Sunday Afternoon.

GEORGETOWN, Sept 15.-The new
NJ. E. Church South dedicated here
yesterday is fine structure built al
cost of nearly two thousand dollars
on the site of, and to replace the old
"Sniders Temple which was built
nearly so years ago, though the date
of its dedication we could not ascer-
tain, but we know it was some years
previous to the death of David Sni.
der and wife who died in 1851. The
original Sniders Temple church was
a log structure of somewhat primitive
character in construction and origi-
nally decided tothe Methodistchurch
and those who helped to build it as
house of worship, and in which
much worshiping was done, for we
have witnessed some of the finest
and most enthusiastic REVEALS of Re-
legion here that we ever saw any
where.
In the early seventies some ques.
tion arose as to title between the
two branches of the church and the
Nj. E. Church built at Arnettsville
and the lot on which the church
stood was conveyed to the present
owners thereof. Some wonderful
reviyals OF religion, were witnessed
here. In the year of 1867 over one
hundred conversions at one meet
ing, conducted by Rev. J. w. Webb.
About six hundred dollars were
required to be raised before dedica-
ton services yesterday afternoon
and it was fully arranged before ded-
icatlon services, and we congratula-
ted the members of the Church on
their success, but the destruction of
the grove around the old church
years ago ana the fact that many of
the people we used to meet there
have gone to the beyond causes US
to have solemn thoughts and wish
we could only see it again as in for
mer times when we met and enjoyed
the intercourse of the friends of for
mer years.
The dedicatory services W ere con
Quoted by Rev. Peck assisted Rev.
Winn and were appropriate and in
teresting.
There may be many incidents re-
lating to this church which would
have been interesting to the readers
of the New DOMINION but we will
only say now that our people ought
to appreciate the progress of events
and. be glad to have a good new
house of worship on this well re-
membered site.
