Over Thirty-Fiyc Years.

In 1872 there was a great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea temedy was first brought
into use. 1t proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment.
and has for thirty-five years main
tained that record. From d small
beginning its sale and use has ex-
tended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign coun-
tries. Nine druggists out Of ten will
recommend 1t when their opinion Is
asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them q greater
profit. It can always be depended
upon, even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by DR..

Tropical Fish in Northern Waters,
(san Francisco Chronicle


During the last few days an i'm
mense school of barracuda, semi
tropical fish, as well as Spanish
mackerel, has appeared in the wa
ters just off the ocean beach near
the site of the old Cliff House. Every
morning large numbers of these fish
swim up to the beach at high tide
and when the ebb sets in many of
them. are unable to get back to deep
water and are left on the sand by
the retreating waves. During the
last week the residents Of the beach
have been picking them up by the
score every morning. The barracuda
frequent the waters Of Mexico and
Southern California in great num-
bers, but are seldom seen this far
north, and the presence Of this large
school Is difficult to account for. 1t
Is fish Of silver gray, often three or
four feet in length, with a long snout
and a slender body. 1t Is thought
that the barracuda and mackerel are
driven in-shore by,a school of large
whales which has been sporting IN
the vicinity Of the seal rocks for
some time past.

GREAT MEETING AT POPLAR.
Twenty-Five Added to the Church.
Remarkable Spiritual Revival.

The meeting at Poplar Springs was
season of refreshing from the Lord.
1t continued for eight days, and
there were twenty five additions to
. the, church-twenty-two by confess
sion OF faith and three by letter. The
influence Of the Holy Spirit was most
wonderfully manifested from the first
service. Rev. w. e. HUFF, the pastor,
Is IN touch with his congregation. We
nave never seen more interest
manifested In the house of God. nor
better order anywhere during the
eight days. Walter James, from
Georgia, and D. G. Williams, from
Anderson, assisted in the meeting.
Both preached with the power and
demonstration of the spirit. Mr.. VIII
liams Is young man Of marked
a"ility and breaches with great force.
He has been at Furman University
for two years. AS soon as he com
pletes his education he expects to en-
fter the evangelistic work. His SER
&mon on What shall do then with
Jesus, which is called Christ" was
deep and very impressive. Mr.. Will
!iams Is only nineteen years old, and
has bright future before him.
We would not forget the children.
Mr.. Huff, the pastor, would drill them
twice day In singing. To see about
fifty little girls and boys neatly dress
ed, singing the beautiful songs of
Zion, was enough to soften the hard
est heart. ..., .F. i-.t
We are told that Poplar Springs
now has one hundred and thirty-six
members on her roll. This church
has made wonderful progress, both
spiritual and material, within the
last eighteen months. The people of
this community have been very sig
nally blessed within the last few
days. They have had showers Of
blessings, reviving the soul, and to-
day we had a gentle shower Of rain
upon the growing crops. We have
that promise in the 9th Psalm.
Those who joined the church during
the meeting viii! be baptized on the
fourth Sunday morning in August.
