ton in tbs State, and his going away
from Scotland Neck is source of re-
greet to all the people here. He has
done a good and faithful work in Scot
land Neck and his work last Sunday
was perhaps the best of 1t all. Many
said that his sermon last Sunday morn
ing was the strongest and the best be
has preached here. It was not in the
strain OF q farewell sermon but was
more of a missionary sermon, urging
his congregation to study the spirit oi
missions and to put forth stronger ct.
fort for the advancement of Code
kingdom abroad as well AS at home.
The pray ers aud benedictions of all
Scotland Neck will go with Mr.. and
Mrs. KssIer wherever they may go
and their good work and the pleasant
associations of the family will be Joni
remembered here. No truer man Can
be found than Mr.. Kesler, and no bet
ter people than his family. Morgan.

CLIMATIC CHANGES.

The influences OF claimtic conditions
in the cure of consumption ia very
much overdrawn. The poor pltient
and the rich patient, too, can do much
better at home by proper attention to
food digestion, and regular use of
German Syrup. Free expsctora:ion in
the morning is made certain by ger
man Syrup, so it is good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat.
Restless night sweats and the exhaust
ion dus to coughing, the greatest dau-
ger and dread Of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to a warmer
CLINE, you will lind that Of the thous-
ands Of consumptives there, the few
who are benifitted and regain strength
sre those who use German Syrup.
