The Flat River Baptist Asso ciation has been in session during the past three days. We hope to be able to tell something of its proceedings in onr next issue. Last Wednesday Mr. R. P, Aiken, of Granville county, was united in marriage with Miss Annie Bledsoe, of Wake, Rev. L. L. Nash, officiating. We have received'the premium list of the Third Annual Fair of the Rocky-Mount Agricultural and gMechanical Association, to beheld at Rocky-Mount Octo ber 23d—26th, Thanks for in vitation. A large fire occurred in Atlan ta, Ga., on Monday morning last. The Kimball House, a large ho tel, was entirely destroyed, and also the Gate City Bank. Loss, near $1,000,000. Little insur- We take pleasure in placing on our exchange list that excellent religious paper, Christian Herald and Signs of Our Times, published, at 63 Bible House, New York. The Banner Warehou-e at Durham was entirely consumed by Fire on Tuesday morning, together with a large quantity of tobacco. Insured. A letter from Dr. F. jVt. Gar rett, manager of that excellent health resort, the All Healing Springs, gives information that two orphans, left there for treat ment, are doing well. The chil dren have met with kind friends. They are likely, under the res torative influences of the water, to be speedily cured. Last week wo announced that two boys had ruu-away from the Asylum. They reconsidered the move, and returned a few days afterward, promising to do so no more They were accepted, and are now wearing the ^‘uniform’’^ which the Superintendent has adopted for run-aways. Mtq. Polly Brummitt, a vener able lady eighty-six years old, died near jFairport, this county, last Saturday. Miss Rebecca Bobbitt, daugh ter of the late Patrick Bobbitt, died at the residence of her mother, near this town on Mon day evening last. We have heard with sorrow of the death of Mr. John Grissom, a worthy young man, son of Mr. Eppy Grissom, near Kittrell. We have received an anony mous communication from Wash ington, N. C., on the subject: “What is God and What is Man.” The name of the writer must always accompany commu- nicationsjiatendedfor publication The Annual Pair of the Ncirth Carolina Fruit Growers' Associ ation will h'e held in Wilming ton on the 22d| and 23d insts. The committee have made am ple arrangements for the accom modation of both exhibitors and visitors. W e trust that the en terprise will meet with the suc cess it deserves. A mineral spring has recently been discovered on the land of Mr. Wm. Smith, alout 9 miles west of Oxford, which promises to be of great value. A number of reliable persons have pro nounced its water a most effect ual diuretic. Mr. Smith, the owner, is having the water anal- ized. The following beautiful note, from a bereaved mother, explains itself. May God comfort the bereaved parents with the re flection that though the dear babe cannot retur i to them, they can go to him : “One month ago to-day we buj ied the loveliest babe we over saw. Enclosed you will find $2.50, a gift to him during his short bright life. Though a mite, we pray God that it may carry comfort to some one of the “lit tle ones.'' July 30, 1883. Revival Notes.—A number of churches in this section have been blessed with gracious revival seasons. The people have been' at leisure on account of the con tinue i drought, and have given much attention to church work. Salem, Shady Grove, Mt. Tabor and Hebron, Methodist churches, have been greatly blessed. He bron, formerly called Diincan's Chapel, is a new church eight miles west of Oxford, under the pastoral care of Rev. W. S. Hes ter. It is a pleasure to know that a good work has been done there. Among the Baptist churches we learn that Corinth, Amis’ Chapel, Poplar Creek, Mt. Zion, and a new church near Bumpass' Cross Roads, have ^all held good and successful revival services. The latter named church is a missionary enterprise under the pastorate of Rev. T. J. Horner, and we are pleased to hear of its success At Geneva Presbyterian church, there was a week’s service with good results. A revival meeting is now going on at Harris’ Chapel, a Metho dist Protestant church. The house of worship at this place has been recently repaired and greatly improved. Protracted meetings are to begin at Tally Ho and Bullock's next Sunday. We learn that Rev. M. L. Wood, President of Trinity College, is expected at Bullock’sonthat day. W e are glad that the revival fires are burning. We trust that they may soon reach this town, and that the whole religious at mosphere may bo warmed and jUuminated. Dr. Lafferty thus contrasts the city and the country: What a recreation and joy to get away from the city and the railway line—out into the country! The sight of grooms ed horses, glittering carriages and liveried coachmen on the drives every day bore you. How refreshing to meet in in the sandy road, between hedges of stunted chincapin, a primitive cart, with pine poles for shafts, an ancient negress as driver, black as a tar baby and as wrinkled as a bursted skin balloon,and a runt sumac bull in the yoke, moving at a terrapin trot, obedient to a wooden bit and cotton rope reins! It’s a study. It’s a new sensation. Somehow songs under the leafy canopy sound sweeter than from choir lofts. Even a city sermon in the country, like an uncaged bird, no long er flutters from perch to perch but rises on free wing to be-* yond the highest leaf or limb - -blithe and “singing at the gates of heaven.'' The men with sun- burnt faces seem so honest of heart and manly. And the mothers, how ma tronly and devout. What bloom of health and modesty in their daughters! And did you ever deliglit your eyes with the chubby country baby brought to preaching? Silent and shy in its mother’s lap, hiding its fuzzy head under her cape, and peeping out at every new voice; its fat feet rubbing their round heels together all the while,like a person match ing billiard balls; its toes, round and stubby(like half- grown grub-worms), in rapid motions, as if the little feet were climbing some airy path. From his many metaphors taken from rur’i scenes, it is clear that Jesus was fond of the fields, mountains and woods. CONSIDERATIONS TOR &0SSIPS. Resist the temptation of circula ting ill reports; spread them not at all. If you cannot speak well of an- other at least do not speak ill ot him. Never speak ill of another be hind his back. Why should you consider his character of less value than your own? Speak of others as you would u ere ihey present; speak as a friend of him who is absent and cannot speak for himself. Consider yourself the guardian of the character of those who be absent as you would wish oth ers to guard your character in your absence. Whenever it may be needful to mention anything to the disadvan tage of another let it be done with truthfulness, tenderness, and hu. mility, snd with the recollection of howlmuch has been forgiven thee. Live as in God’s sight, mindful of thy position as a child of God and as a servant of Jesus meditate on Lis word ; pray always. Then you will know when to open the Hps; when to listen and bow to be have if wrongfully accused. A party of three or four gen tlemen who were in a hotel in this village a few days before election were invited to “take something” by one of their num’ her. After they had taken it, and chatted a few minutes, another of the party solemnly suggested that it would be well to “take something.” They ac cepted the iuvitation, and took something again. They then started out, and in a few min utes, as they were passing a dry- goods store, another of the par ty stopped them and said; “Let’s go in and “take some. thing.’ ” ^‘Why, that’s a dry-goods store,” said one of the party. “Well, what of it? Come in.” In they marched, and arrang ing themselves before the coun • ter, the gentleman who had in vited them propounded the ques tion, “What will you take?’’ One of the party took a box of collars, another took a clean shirt. When the bill had been settled, and they had walked out, they Icoked at each other rather sheepishly, and began to see, tor the first time, the fool ishness of the “treating” bus iness.—Middletown Press. BUFFALO LITHIA WATER DISSOLVES STONE IN THE BLADDER. scissoBiiras. ‘‘Please to give me something, sir?” says an old woman. “I had a blind child; he was my only means of subsistence, and the poor boy has recovered his sight.” “What is pride, my sou?” asked a gentleman of his little boy. “Walking with a cane when you’re not lame,” he said. A minister once asked a con demned criminal in a Paris jail, “What kind of a conscience have you?” “It’s as good as new,” re plied the prisoner, “for I have nev er used it.” A little girl and boy, who live in Des Moines, Iowa, were discussing the stars one evening recently. The little boy argued that the stars were worlds like ours, and he claimed that they are peopled just like the earth. The little girl, with all the dis dain she could muster, said: “They are not! They are angels’ eyes; ’cause I saw ’em n ink!” Little Meg had a strict regard for the truth. One day, she and her sister Patty were playing to gether, when Meg did something that Patty did not like. “Mamma,” cried Patty, “shall Meg keep a-doin’ so?’’ “Oh!” sobbed Meg, when reprov ed, “she says ‘keep a doin’,’ and I never did it but once.” A school-girl in Mount Holyoke, Mass., was studying from a text book that was particularly unin teresting. She wrote on the fl\ - leaf: ; “If there should be another flood, For refuge hither fly, Though all the world should be submerged, This book would still be dry.’’ A young man once went to an eccentric Virginian and asked: “sir, what business would you advise me to engage in ?” “Shoemaking.” The young man gazed at him in astonishment—for the youth was very ambitious. “Why shoemaking, sir?” “Because shoemaking is a good business—a very good business— and it will always remain a good business as long as babies are born barefooted!” “James!” “Yes, papa.” “There were seven California pears in the cupboard. Six of them are gone. Do you know anything about it?” “I never took one of them,” “Sure?” “Certain, papa. I wish I may die if -” “You wicked boy! How often have I told you never to use such au expression? Here comes your mother. Let’s see if she knows anything about.it.” Mamma says she saw James take at least six of them. “Hear that now! How dare you tell me you never took one, and here’s only this little one with the grub-eaten side left?” “Oh, Papa, please don’t! I said 1 didn’t take one of them, and— and—and that’s the one I didn’t take!” . Papa relented for once. The highest elements of character, of power, and of dignity lie within the reach of the lowest and the poorest. BUFFALO LITHIA WATER RELIEVES THE BEDRIDDENT FROM RIIEViflATIC GOUT BUFFALO LITHIA WATER For AfTeetions Peculiar to Women and for the Stomach. Stone in the Bladder (Uric leid) “Desirofcd by the action of the Water, by means of Solution or Disintegration.” Case of Dr. B. J.»Weistling, Middleton^ Pa., stated by himself: “Experience in its use in Stone of the Bladder in ray own person enables me to attest the wonderful efficiency of the Buffalo Lithia Water in this painful malady. After having been long subjected to suffiirings, the intensity of which cannot he described, Ihave, under the influence of this water, passed (lam coji- fident that I am within the bounds of reason) at least an ounce of Calculi (Uri c Acid) some of which weighed as much as four grains, affording inexpressible relief and leaving me in a condition of comparative ease and comfort. I am now passing only occasionally small Calculi, and they are not attended by the in tense suffering which their passage has hitherto occasioned. “On one occasion I passed thirty-five Calculi in forty-eight hours. The ap pearance of this Calculus Nuclei indicates unmistakably, I think, that they were all component particles of one large Calculus, destroyed by the action of the water, by means of solution and disintegration. At my advanced period of life (I am now seventy-seven years and six months of age) and in my feeble general health, a surgical operation was not to le thouglit of, and the water seems to have accomplished all that such an operation, if successful, could have done. Besides greatly increasing the quantity of the Urine, this water exerts a decided influence on its chemical constitution, rendering it rapidly neutral, if previously acid, and afterwards alkaline from being high-colored, it becomes pale, and having deposited copious^' it becomes limpid and transparent.” RHEUMATIC CiOUT. Case of Dr. J. A. Hanby, of Patrick G. H., Va., stated by I “For four years I was afflicted with Kheumatic Gout to an extent whichin- capacitated me entirely for the discharge of the duties of my profession, and was finally reduced to such a condition as to subject me for the most part to confloement to my bed. By the advice of one of my medical attendants, and emphatically as a dernier resort, I determined to make use of the Buffalo Lithia Water, Spring No. 2,1 am frank to say without faith in its virtues, having but little confidence in mineral waters. The use, however, of a few cases of the water was attended by,beneficial results, so remarkable, that I was soon able to be out of bed and upon my feet, and my improvement has continued until I am now actively engaged in the practice of my profession, meeting without any unusual inconvenience all the exposure and hardship incident to the life of a mountain country. I cannot, in can lor, do otherwise than ascribe my recovery solely to this water, the value of which I regard as beyond estimation.” Dyspepsia, with Suppression of the Id nstsual Flow, Hypoehonfiriasis, &c. Case of Miss—, stated by Dr. IVm. B. Towles, University of Virginia, Member Medical Society of Virginia: “I was consulted as to the use of the Buffalo Lithia Water in the ease of Miss . She was suffering from a distressing form of Dyspepsia, of some two years’ duration, pale, greatly emaciated, and weighing only sixty-seven pounds. There was want of appetite, acid eructations, gastric pain after ingestion of al« most any article of diet, nausea (the food often rejected by vomiting), consump tion, ex reme laugor, HypochondilasiS, etc. In addition to Dyspeptic sypii> toms there had been total suppression of the Menstrual Flow for twelve numths. She was put upon the water and directions given as to her diet. For a month, perhaps, there was no perceptible ehange in her condition for the better. AfJ terwards, however, improvement was decided, rapid and continuous, and in another month she was free om Dyspepsia, the Menstrual Flow had been re established, and she left the Springs weighing 108 paunds and fully restored to health.” These Springs are Now Open for Guests. 5@“Water in cases of one dozen half gallon bottles, $5,00 per case at the Springs. 8^“Spring3 Pamphlet sent to any address.
