good working order, and was
pleased with what he saw. We
are glad always to have him
come.
SCISSORIN&S.
North Carolina herrings are
selling at $4.00 per hundred in
this market. We do not under
rate the work of the Fish Com-
mi- sioner, or even criticise it, for
we know little about it, but it
may be noted as an interesting
laot, that fish have been getting
scarcer and dearer for several
years, notwithstanding the at
tention paid to their propagation,
and the money appropriated for
that purpose.
SPECIAL MENTION.
Rev. J. T. Stradley is conduc
ting revival services this week
at Island Creek Church, near
Williamsboro.
We are pleased to note the
large patronage enjoyed by the
Horner^School, of this town, the
present session.
The editor regrets that he was
absent fjom the ofiice when
Grand Master Bingham called,
last Saturday.
Mr.Araham Slaughter,a highly
respected citizen of this county,
died on Friday night last, aged
about sixty-nine year ?. He was
devoted member of the Mt.
Zicn Baptist Church, and by his
will gave a considerable sum of
money, the interest of which is
to be devoted to church purposes,
mainly to the cause of Foreign
Missions. It is supposed that
some four or five thousand dol
lars will be realized for in vest
ment for the purposes above nam
ed.

The North C’arollna Yearly
Meeting of Friends assembled at
High Point, August 16th, in their
new meeting house, which is one
of the largest church buildings
in the State.
We wefe recently shown a
walnut tree on the premises of
Mr. J. T. Cheatham, that has the
remarkable habit of bearing a
crop of nuts on one side one
year, and on the opposite side
the neKt year. Formerly it pro
duced a lull crop every other
year. Some years ago, however,
it was injured by a heavy sleet,
and since that time the limbs
growing on the northern Iside of
the tree bear nuta one year, and
the next year the limbs on the
southeiD side bear.

Chautauqua, N. Y., August
20-—A. G. Haygood, of Geor'*
gia lectured this evening on
universal educati on as deman
ded by universal suftrage. The
speaker said emancipation
doubled the responsibility of
the South. The war left it
poor, but it is improving in all
its industries, but not in prO'*
portion to the increase of its il
literate population. It left an
increasing burden with a
shortening lever. Help is
necessary and the nation is
concerned that we should
have intelligent suffrage in
every State It should help
the South teach the negroes
for it made them citizens be
fore they were prepared for
suffrage. The speaker criN
icised Senator Logan^s plan of
distributing aid on the basis
of population and commended
the point of the Woodstock
speech by ex-President
Hayes.

We have recently heard of a
colored woman in the town of

This is the only recuperation
of bruin forces, because du
ring sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to
receive and appropriate par
ticles of nutriment from the
blood, which take the place
ot those which have been
consumed in previous labor
since the very act of thinking
consumes or burns up solid
particles, as every turn of the
wheel or screw of the steamer
is the result of consumption
of the fuel in the furnace.
The supply of consumed
brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive par
ticles in the blood, which
were obtained from the food
eaten previously; and the
brain is so constituted that
it can but receive and appro
priate to itself those nutritive
particles during a state of rest,
of quiet, and stillness of sleep.
Mere stimulants supply noth-*
ing in themselves. They
goad the brain and force it to
a greater consumption of its
substance, until that sub
stance has been so exhausted
that there is not power enough
left to receive a supply, just
as men are sometimes so near
death by thirst and starvation
that there is not power
enough left to swallow any
thing, and all is over.
THE COUNTRY CAN GO ON.
(Holston Methodist.)
Tho country can go on

a profound respect for law

TRUE COURAGE.
always those who are ready
to fight. Here is the story of
one who showed the rrglit
spirit when provoked by his
comrades;
A poor boy was attepding
school one day with a large
patch on the knee of one of
his trousers. One of his
schoolmates. made fun of him
for this, and called him “Old
Patch.’’
“Why don’t you fight him?’’
cried one of the boys. “I’d
give it to him if he called me
so.”
“Oh,” said the boy, “you
don’t suppose I’m ashamed of
my patch, do you? For my
part, I’m thankful for a good
mother to keep me out of rags

Stone in tlie Bladder (Urle Acid) ‘‘Destroyed by the action of the Water, by means
of Solution or Disintegration.’’
Case of Br.B. J. Weistling, Middleton, Pa., stated hy himself:
“Experience in its use in Stone of tho Bliidder in my own 'iier-ion enablc.s me
to attest the wonderful efficiency of the Buffiilo Lithia Water in tiiis Dainfiil
mal.ady. After having been long subjected to sufftirings, tiie intensity of wliieh
cannot be described, I have, under the inllneiiec of this water, p;issed'(J am oon-
lident tmit I am mthin the bouinls of reason) at least an ounce of Calculi (Urio
Acid) some of wbicli weighed as much as four grains, aH'ording inexnrcssib] c
rebel and leaving me in a condition of compar.ative ease and eomfort. I am now
passinsr only occasionally small Calculi, .and they are not attiunied by the in
tense suffering which their passage has iiitherto occasioned.
On one occasion I passed thirty-dve Calculi in forty-e.iglif. hours 'I'lie .an
pearance of this Calculus Nuclei indicates unmistakabl}^ 1 think, tliat thev were
all component particles of one large Calculus, destroyed by tiie action of tho
water, by means of solution and disintegration. At my advanced iicriod of lif>
(l .am now seventy-seven years and six montiis of age) and in my fe,eble •'■oneral
health, a surgical operation was not to be thought of, and the water se!ems to
have accomplished all that such an operation, if successfnl, could h.ave done.
Besides greatly increasing the quantity of the Urine, this water exerts a leeided
influence on its chemical constitution, rendering it rapidly neutral, if previous!r
acid, and afterwards alkaline from being higii-eolored, it becomes pale, r.nd
)id and transnarent.*’
having deposited copiously it becomes limpid and tran.sp.arent.
RHEUMATIC (iOUT.
GaseofDr. J. A. Rmihy, ofPatrich G, II, Ya., stated hy himself;
“For four years I was afflicted with Riieiimatie Gout to an extent wliielnn-
capaeitated me entirely for the discharge of the duties of my profession, and
was hnally reduced to such a condition as to subject me for the most part to
confinement 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 Buffiilo Lltiiia
Water, Spruig No.. 2,1 am frank to say without faith in its virtues, hii,vin»- but
little confidence in mineral waters. The use, however, of a few c.ases of the
water was attended by beneficial results, so remarkable, tliat I was soon abh^ to
be out of bed and upon my feet, and ray iiuprovement lias continued until T am
now actively engaged in the practice of mv profeseion, meeting without any
unusual inconvenience all the exposure and hardship incident to the life of a
mouiitain country. I cannot, in candor, do otherwise than ascribe my recovery
solely to this water, the value of which I .-egard as beyond estimaiion.”
