GREENE COUNTY GREETINGS.

To THE FREE LANCE:
\ glorious rain came down yesterday.
Driving our fears and doubts all away:
Instead of a famine wt'ilhave n feast.
For the Lord remembers both man and
beast.
Our human propensities verred on despair
When welcome raindrops moistened the
air:
The lowering clouds. uniolding their
wings,
Transformed dry earth to living springs
Aserious mishap met young Arthur Laml
A very worthy and industrious man;
Had working at n saw mill been,
Where two saw logs rolled over him.
A mass Of broken bones and blood,
Before which the Doctors stood,
With friends bowed down in sore distress
Till he regained his consciousness.
Mr.. Eugene Stephens defes the world
To produce the superior Of his girl:
Although less than ten days old,
Is worth it's avoirdupois in gold
John Meyer. one of our oldest men.
For two weeks quite sick has been
At his home nearby Stanardsville-
IN octopenarian not easy to Kill
Ella. the wife of Nat. farrell, is dead;
For two dollars and n half, it is said,
Was sold 10y her lord some years ago
TO one Andrew Amos. previous beau
When Mr.. Matte took n new bride,
And for the offence was lawfully tried,
Got position with the striped band
That plays out the tune. 'One Wife To
the Man"
The wood d-work on South River church is
done,
Plaster and painting will cost a round
sum;
New seats also will have to he made.
As the others are shakey and we'll nigh

4 lady, whose name | cannot tell,
Promised the church the gift OF bell;
When with the promise she will comply

While Ennis is at the v NJ Institute;
The painting is by Mr. Kennie and Starke,
Doing their best to win Minnie's heart
Two courtiers essayed to ride into town;
In place OF n buggy two saddles they
found.
Strapping them both on one little horse
The latter got home, the balance got lost.
Truly this is the time of the year

Day. Addresses, Etc.

King George Co. Va, June 10. l9O2.
To TIM FREE LANCE:
The celebration of Children's Day at
Oakland BAPTIST Church. foreshaf ow, d
by your correspondent of last week took
place on yesterday. June 10th Though
the wea ther was hot and the roads dusty
large crowd of people assembled to
take part in or witness the interesting
exercises Of the day. The morning exer-
cises were presided over 10y Rev. O ELY
son. who is the acting pastor Of the
church, and who. though nearly four
score years old. is vigorous and efficient
aud greatly beloved by the people lie
rves.
At II O'Clock n discourse was delivered
bY this scribe on "The genesis. mission
methods and auxiliaries OF Sunday
Schools, the close of which collection
was taken for the Sunday School and
Bible Board of Virginia.
An intermission was then taken during
which n bountiful dinner was spread.
and all cordially invited TO partake.
sided over by Mr. Ephraim Rollins, the
efficient and much beloved -superintend-
ent OF the Sunday School, who had ar
ranged an interesting and nppropriat t.
program. consisting of iccitntions, dia
logues and singing 10y the children The
exercises were also interspersed with
music 10y the choir under the direction of
Prof. Oden, who also pr, sided Mt the or
gan and sang two solos The music was
greatly enjoyed by the large congrega.
tion.-
The exercises closed with an address
by your correspondent ON Then and
Now or 1900 and 1900 The purpose
oi the speaker was to show To the young
people the comparison or contrast OF the
two periods, their great advantages in
this day, and urge them TO appreciate
and improve them.
The congregation was then dismissed
by the benediction and the Sunday
school was invited to partake of refresh
ments which had been provided especial
ly for them
Thus closed the pleasant aud ! trust
profitable exercises of Children's Day at
Oakland, an occasion long and pleasant
~ remembered by all who witnessed it,.
ltis believed that an Impetus and inspira-
tion has been given To an already pros
porous Sunday School
The ioyousness of the occasion was
somewhat overshadowed, however. by
the fact that one of the families of the
church and neighborhood is now in deep
aiiliction. MIR. Philip Pemberton, who
lives near Matthias Point, has recently
lost son who died OF typhoid fever and
now he and another son and two daugh-
ters are dangerously ill of the same dread
malady. The sympathy of the commun-
ity is greatly stirred in their behalf, and
for them prayer was offered in the
church.
The wheat, oat and grass crops are
very short and Indifferent, and there is
but little fruit of any kind.
These things together with the fact
that the fishing of this season, which is
an important industry here, was not at
all remunerative, have had = rather de-
pressing effect on the good people OF this
section. Let us hope for them a brighter
prospect and better reward for their toll
in the near future. +. S. DUNNAwAY.

A Remedy for Smallpox.

Several years since Il correspondent
OF the Stockton Cal Herald gave the
following concerning smallpox and its
remedy, as follows:
Il herewith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in hum
dreds of cases. it will prevent OF cure
the smallpox through the pitting and
filling. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England the world hurled an
avalanche of fame at his head: but when
the most scientific school of medicine in
the wOrld-that of Paris published this
recipe and panacea for smallpox, it
passed unheeded 1t is as unfailng as
fate, and cOnquers in every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by well per-
son. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe, which can be filled
At any drug store:
Sulphate of zinc, l grain: fOx-glOve,
ldigitals) l grain: teaspoonful of sugar,
mix with two tablespoonful of water.
When thoroughly mixed add ounces
Of water Take teaspoonful every
hour. For a child, smaller doses accord
ing to age. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours.
AS a preventative, take IA teaspoonful
before each meal: children less quantity
according to age.
