ChHstium tire bound by a tij stronger than flefih, thicker than blood or water', an inHerable and eternal one. , Natural tie, though dear and tender, are Severed by ! death ami left on this scene uf sin and suffering. Can true chiistianH help loving each other ? No, no more than water can help running down hill. Christians from gross ihisundrntandings, not prop rrly knowing each others mo tives, may for a while not )ove each otlM-r, but let the proper chord be jtru:k and them wiU tespond a thrill of christian harmony and love audi as shall pervade the sonl of each, and bitter strif will disappear like as darkness is dispelled by the rising snn. Christians will differ, and widely too, hut shonld not wrangle about their creeds, bilt should taKe everything to God's Word and let it set tle it. Some think more of the tenents of their 'h 11 rch t lan they do of Christ. It is ne:essary for every one to be ' lieve something, but should lay asidiT nil prejudice and pie-onct-.ivrd notions and prayerfully read God's Word mid act as intelligent and ac countable beings should in (lO'l'j sight. , . Every. tii urch has the right to preach 4rs own doctrines without bf ing unjustly criti cised for its motives in so do ing. Professors of religion will u t love each other bet .ter because of their pitched battles, m it her will their dif ferences irio.v les, but many times will widen and deepen till there seems to be a migh ty chasm between t h e ni . Christians will not think bet ter of each other by letting the little "unruly member" have fair'play, so as to ut ter unkind expressions, call each other ugly names, ' and endeavor to brand all win. may differ from us as hypo crites. In the n,jnr luture, just beyond this dispensa tion, these little differences shall not exist. We all need to get ch.ser Christ and . will be nearer each other and can realize by the throbbing of our hearts, that our jo.ys, our sorrows, our hopes, our purposes are one. When our hearts are lifted up so we can see Jesus and bathe in theexhileiuting sun shine of His love and drink in the refreshing dew of Ilin grace, our only thoughts are then of our Loni's glory and deep soul thirsting and hun gering to growmore like Him. Bitter animosities are forgotten and we thus by lea vinga .brighter likeness of Christ are better prepared to further His cause iu our laud of pilgrimage. Christians have the same enemy to fight, and should, wherever possible, unite their ' , . . t ' ... forces r against - th strong holds !a an. One gieut eyil fa upon us, the liquor curse. r We may not be able to, crush it. b;it the t in will come when truth and right will triumph. Thechristiant can't afford to be indifferent about the instrument of woe that satan is using in enlarg ing hell. Yes. the time has come when God's people must teach and practice total ab stinence in reirard to intoxi cating drinks. We reap in kind what we so at, but us a rule more than we sow. Our fathers many 5 ears ago, al though good men, by their thoughtless example as re gards the "social glass" were sowing the seeds of th dead ly Upas tree that yeais after should blight the lives of ma ny of our promising young men, and how many to da.v are reaping as the result of hellish seed being scattered, henrt Hches, poverty and (lis grace, and floods of bitter tears. Alcohol like a fearful cyclone, is sweeping over our country leaving poverty and all the attendant evils found in hellVvlnrk catalogue of crimes. May God help us to be true and valient solders. Globe, N.C., Aug. 15. The Wilmington-Messenger has the following pa 1 a graph concerning Marsh il Ney: 'When Peter Ney, the school master in Western North C ir olina was "on his death bed at the home of the late Ps born Ford, t f Rowan county in 1846, in answer to the question ot the physician to i'll who he was before leaving this world, he said in re ply to those present- 'I am Marshal Ny." In the very presence of death this most extraordinary man, who was so great as to impress hun dreds of intelligent an'l 'ma ny highly educated people with the idea jf his nobility of character us well as high ability, declared that he was Michxel Ney, the great Mar shal of Napoleon, '"the bra vest of the brave," as ihe grea t war genious and states men called him. The letter from a gentleman iu France is conclusive as to who Peter S. Ney was. Read Mr. Wes ton's book, as interesting as Macnulay's most fascinating history or his delightful s says on men." Kenneth Bazemoor had the good fortune to receive a small bottle of Chambbtlams Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy wheji three members ot his. family were sick with disentejy. This one small bottle cured them all and he had some left which he gave to Geo.' W. Baker, a promi nent merchant of the place, Lewiston, N C, and it cured him of the same complaint. When troubled with dysente ry, diarrhoea, colic or ohsl era morbus, give this reme dy a trial and you will be more than pleased with the result. The praise that nat urally follows its introduc tion and ue has made it very popular. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by all drug gists.

Ir- OBITUAET.;, , ... ; Brother Dudley, Farthing was born Nov, 29th, 1804, in Person county, North Car olinti. : He was the son of El der. William W. Faithing and Polly W.' his wife, and was the oldest of a fauply of fourteen sons and daughters, eleven of whom w?nt to their reward befoie the subject ol this sketch. . Brother Dudley was convet ted in early life and was bap tized into the fellowship of Eno Baptist church, in the county ot Oiange by Elder James Ferra II. He was after wards a member ol Mount Morinhin the same county for a short while. In 1826 his father removed to Watauga, then Ashecoun ty, North Carolina, and set tled on a tract of land on which Bethel church houae now stands, where he died a few months afterwards. Soon after this event the subject of this sketclbecame a mem tyer of Cove Creek Baptist chnrrh. A short time after his connection with this church, he was elected clerk of the same, and served in that capacity until age and infirmity prevented his serv ing longei . He was also elec tew almost continuously as a messenger to the annual session of the Association un til he declined a re-election, and he beet me one of the most activennd vigilent mem hers of that body. He also served as deacon of C o v c Creek church for a number of .years. Qer. 22, 1887, our brother transferred his membership to Bethel church and remain ed a member ol the same'un til his death. In his younger years, the deceased wns actively engag ed in the Sunday School work and, it is believed, that more than sixty years ago he or ganized and tau!ht, near this place, the Hrst Sunday School,eyer taught in Watau ga county, and it issaidthat persons attended that Sun day School who lived seyen miles away. As a citizen of North Caro lina, our deceased " brother was ?alled upon to fill impor tant positions. He was a jus tice of the peace while a citi zen of Ashe couiity and for quite a number of years after Watauga was constituted. At the organization of Wn tauga county in 1849, he was mnde chairman of the County Court and served con tinuously in that capacity un til the County Court was a bolished in 1868. He served one term as County Commis sioner afterthe change in the county government. Our brothel was law-abiding himself and used all his influence as a citizen and as an official to enf Jice law and and order iu the community in which he lived and to pro mote the general good ol so ciety. 'April 14, 1831, the deceas ed was married to Nancy Mast oldest'daughter of bro ther John Mast deceased, and by this union he became the father of thirteen children, flvt) of whom preceded their parents to the- spirit world. . SeptJ22, 1882,'death again invaded bis family and took from him the one who had been his bosom companion for more than half a century, and his life was thus made lonely for more than twelve years prior to his death. Atlast,on July 8, 1895, his own well-rounded life ter minated at the advanced age of 90 years, 7 months and 9 days. Though dead, our brc ther's influence is still living. His life in many tespects is well worthy of imitation and it is our privilege to stud v the same and emulate his vir tiious actions. Though it is sad to jiave our friends sever (Mi from us by death, yet we take consolation from the poet: 'There is a world above, ' Where parting is unknown; A long eternity of love, Formed for the good nlone. And faith beholds the -lying here Translated to that glorious sphere." Adopted by Bethel Baptist church in conference July 27, 1895. W. S. Fauthino Church Clerk. A Sky Land Farm ia Bnrks. The Herald had a visit last wt-ek from Joseph Wulker, 8r.. the patriarch of the South Moun tnins. Uncle Joe's tariu lies on the very top of the main South Mountain range and his corn tas sels wave in the air more than 3. 000 feet above the tea. H is fields are as fertile as the best river hot tonis. und he has a field :sov pro ducing from thirty to forty bush els of corn ner acre time have been beunng every year for thirty years. His orchard and vineyard never tail to bear and he sella every year many hundred bush els of corn und apples, after sup plying a large family. We recent ly visited Mr. Walker's home. The view is magnificent troiu eve ry side, the one extending from Ten .1. and Vu. to King's Moun tain, South Carolina. The only drawback is the-lack of roads, the trail that now leads from the valley being so rough and steep and narrow that a flat-woods raccoon would want to take nn accident policy before he tried to climb it.

A ' most 'remarkable afflic tion, and one bf a nature cal cnlated to make.. onVs 'flesh creep, has been endured by an old lady in the Willbwby neighborhood, ' near r Colum bia, S. C. The lady's name is Phoebe Brown, and f o r more than one third of a con tury bhe ; has carried a live gnake under the skin of her arm. How the reptile found lodgment in such a peculiar place is as much of a myste ry to Mrs. Brown as it is to the hundreds of people who annually visit ber for the purpose of viewing the spot where the unwelcome lodger lies encysted. When the lady first noticed the bow shaped welt on her arm, it was not more than two inches long or larger in diauuter than a pin. Bat during the years it has safely nestled in the flesh absorbing the woman's blood it has grown from a mere thread, to be a snake more than a foot in length and as large as a lead pencil. The eyes of the hideous creature are plainly visib'e through the woman's skin. The scales can be plainly relt by rub bing the Angers along the ridge formed by theserpent's body. Physicians pronounce it a most remarkable freak, and haveendeavored, tvithoutsuc cess, to prevail upon the old lady to have it cut out. St Louis Republic. Aa Irnnenw Enterprise. Rutherford Democrat.
