he moved his membership, together
with his family, to Pond Branch

A Word Of Advice.

BiddlccoEb was holding his eldest
son in earnest converse.
MY boy he said, II am filled with
anxiety when I think that you will
soon make choice Of a wife,
Il have not done so yet, father" the
young man replied. What sort Of
wife would you suggest:'
The older man looked around eau
tiously.
My son. he said, IF your fathers
advice is worth anything to you, let
me urge you to seek woman who
hasn't the independence, the positive
ness, the general characteristics OF
your mother" He was interrupted at
that moment by light football and
realized that his beloved helpmeet had
entered the room NO. my son. ne
continued, do not hope to find another
woman like your mother. Such para
gons are rarely if ever duplicated.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachain Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Engaged people should remember that
after marriage many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. S.

''For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with a
torpid liver, until she lost her strength
and vigor, and became mere week OF
her former self. Then she tried Elec-
tric Bitters. which helped her at once,
and finally made her entirely well. She
is now strong and healthy. The

Our Virginia Letter.

/ have delayed longer tnls tlGe
shan Z should. But this has not
been from want of interest 10 things
at home. T eagerly read the Dispatch,
for county news, and the State for
news of it's kind. Am specially glad
to see letters from near my former
work. Sorry so many Of my former
members have crossed over the river
to rest under the shade Of the trees
How it will add to our crown Of re-
ioiciDg at that glad day if We can
number them ss those we have point
ed to the Lamb of God that taketh
away the sin of the world, and have
led to higher and better life! Glad
our vacancies are being filled.
This is Monday morning and one
Of the finest I have ever seen up here.
II has rained ell summer. Yester-
day was clear and bracips-in fact
cool in the shade. We had large
congregations morning and night.
MY old classmase, now Rev. J. I.
Huddle, of Washington, D. G,
preached in the morning. Though
we graduated fourteen years ago, he
is the first classmate I have seen since
Ileft college. He is brilliant orator.
His old home is near here and he is
home on vacation.
Our Synod has just closed it's
annual convention. It met only
seven miles from here. The country
about the church is high and billy.
Iwent with our delegate, Mr.. John
W. Phillips. As it happened T took
along q heavy coat, and even then
could scarcely keep warm. Mr.. Ju.
lian phoned home for his overcoat,
which he wore with comfort in the
middle of August. Dr.. R. O. Hol-
land came up from Charlotte, N. c.,
and was in shiyer when he reached
the church. The clouds finally broke
away, and it has been pleasant ever
since. There was no. special bril-
Iancy at our meeting. Don't think
il measured to the meetings Of the
South Carolina Synod. Met several
former friends: Rev. T. O. Kiester,
formerly of Prosperity, s. c., Rev.
W. 81. Greever, of Columbia and
Rev. G. J. Sox, just recently from
Lexington county. The latter was
ordained at this meeting, and I am
TO 20 over to his work in Floyd
counSy to install him the third Sun
day in next month. Will have to 60
on train 60 miles, and then drive in
stage and buggy about IS miles fur
Shsr.
Since writing, I have spent day
in q court room at Wytheville, our
county seat. I had to go down and
appear before court to get license or
permission or something in order to
perform marriage. You must do this
up here, and give q bond OF $500
too, that you will comply with the
laws Of the State on marriage.
Politics are warm up here, even if
the weather is not. The people are
almost evenly divided. This is true
even in eur church. DR.. W. W.
Buck. one of our nearest neighbors,
members and best friends, is Demo-
cratic candidate for the Legislature
and We hope and believe be will be
elected. Kind wishes to all.
