BOWERS.

Since the custom of holding anniver-
saries at Barratt's Chapel. which have
been held their annuany since 1879, the
centennial anniversary Of that historic
old building, has there been so many
people assembled at that place as on
Sunday last, it being the occasion Of the
13Sth anniversary. On former occasions
of the same character, there were thou
sands to gather there, but from year to
year the number has increased, but 1t
remained for Sunday last to cap the cli-
max. The weather was ideal for the
middle of October, and nature seemed to
conspire to make the time and season a
grand success. There was no direct way
of ascertaining the number of people
present. but from the best foundation to
base an estimate, namely the facilities
in which the people were transported to
and from the place, it is safe to say that
there were about a thousand more peo-
pie in attendance this year than on any
former occasion. The committee Of ar
rangements had made ample accommo-
dations for the large crowd, as far as
possible, and had erected a large plat
form for the ministers and for the ac-
commodatiOn of the choir. The Rev.
Charles NJ. Boswell, D. D., Of Philadel-
phia, delivered the sermon, which was
appropriate for the occasion and well
received by his large congregation. The
Magnolia choir assisted by Frederica,
rendered excellent music for the occa-
sion. The minister in charge. Rev. G.
R. Ellis of Magnolia, deserves great
credit for his work and the selection Of
the Rev Divine, who so captivated his
great audience that heard his remarks.
Taken altogether it was another grand
day to be recorded in the history Of that
grand old church.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Before sending your fowls to market remove
every semblance of food from their crops Many
persons think that by letting the fowl go with a
full crop bit Of weight is added 10 the bird and
It will bring more when sold. This little bit Of
added weight will not profit you much, but re-
member that such food helps cause the birds to
deteriorate more quickly. You run chance Of
losing the whole specimen for the sake Of gaining
a few extra cents.
The one big secret in the poultry business is to
make every thing count for profit, and to that end
you should work.
Make an extra effort this winter to get as big an
egg yield as possible-'hen fruit will be at
high premium. To this eud. don't carry over the
winter a single bird that is not a real producer.

Most Effective Remedy
Mother Had EUer Used
DIR. CALDwELL's SYRUP PEPsIN
RELIEVES BABY WHEN OTHER
MEDICINES FAILED

There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort as regu-
larity of the bowels. All children are
especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any overstrain of the
sensitive organs has tendency to
obstruct elimination. This condition
is responsible for much of the illness
of childhood.
TO relieve constipation a mild lax
alive should be employed. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent in their
action and should be avoided. Mrs.
Alfred Du Bots, Mt. Holly, N. j.,
says DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
without doubt the most effective
remedy for constipation she has ever
used and that it is the only remedy
she could find for her baby. Little
Earl was badly constipated during
his first year and nothing she tried
seemed to help him until she got s.
bottle of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. Now he is fine, strong, healthy
boy, and she thanks DR.. Caldwell for
it.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, free from opiates or
