Ifxs. Jo Vmxmos,
Pranklinton, N. O.
Dnxn, Madjlx: It ra with pleasure
that write- to tell yoa that your valua
ble Remedy has entirely cured me of a
most fearful looking and painful sore on
tny ankle. It came more than twelve
months ago, rery much like a ring1 worm.
I painted it with Tinct Iodine, until it
became a rery painful and bad looking
place. Then I commenced to try every
thing I could think or hear of, until it
became so very painful I could scarcely
walk, when I went to the best doctor in
the country for advice. - He told me
he could cure a if I would take my bed
and there remain for four or five weeks,
and if I did not do so pretty soon, it
could not be owed at all, as the bone
would become diseased, and my foot
would have to be Taken off. Just imag
ioe how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the sore but to lose my foot, or
give up all business either of these Re
Dediea would have ruined me. Mind
jou this was tba advice of one of the best
doctors in the State of North Carolina,
aad. this conversation took "place last
Hts.
jreorB&ry. l cooiinuea 10 uuru wuu
eaufttic, as he advised until September,
tat derived no benefit from his treatment.
I was advised then by a friend to try
your Remedy; (Bitters and Wash) took
the first dose the l?th of.September, and
I am now a well man, the sore is perfect
ly cured., and I can now walk as far,
dance at much and jump as high as any
nan jo know.1 Fat me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as I
now do of the .virtue ol your Remedy,
and JLwottld not hesitate to pay tea dol
lars a bottle fbrit, If I couhTnot get it
for letK; J think more of it' than any
medicine in the world. It is not only
the best Remedy to purify the blood and
cwre all skin diseases; but I believe it will
ct?rnkitdt of blood diseases, and I
tuowit will cure a love for stronp drink.
I hope you will have this published, as
there are many sufferers who could be
cured, if they could know cf and get your
Btoedy I am truly and respectfully,

It is said that a poison of any conceiv
able description and degree of potency,
which has been swallowed intentionally
or bv accident; may be rendered instantly
harmless by swallowing two gills of
sweet oil. An individual with a ver
strong constitution should take twice the
quantity. The oil will neutralize every
form of vegetable poison with which the
physicians and chemists are acquainted.
Cut this out and save it; you might have
great cause for congratulation for doing
so.

Rev. E. T. Schulken, Rev. F. A, Bishop,
Rev. J. w: Craig, Capt. W. Ul Parker
and Mr. J. H. Mallard' have all gone tt
Durham to attend the Conference, which
meets there to-morrow, ''" The following'
which we clip from the Fayetteville Ex'
aminer, will be interesting in this con-
nectiou-;J: ;r.;,'t:,"(;i '
' Up to 1837, there was no North Caro
lina conference, all the State being em
braced in the . Virginia, Holston and
Smith Caroliua eorjrw. Io lAhrnary
of that year, ther North Carolina ccrafer
enco was set off irom the Virginia confer
ence, taking the Danville district from
the . State . of Virginia. In 1830 the
southeastern part of the State, cmbrac
ing Wilmington and Fayetteville. was
transferred from the South Carolina con.
fere nee. In 1858 the Danville district
was ceded to the Virginia : conference
In 1870 the south-western part of the
State, embracing Wadesboro, Charlotte.
Shelby, Morganton, etc., was transferred
to the North Carolina conference. The
Holston conference still .holds all of
North Carolina beyond the Blue Ridge,
and Virginia all beyond the Rtanoke
River and Albemarle Sound, embracing
Edenton, Elizabeth City, etc. In 1880
there were reported 67,489 white mem
bers in the North Carolina conference,
and 14,458 in tho Holston and Virginia
territory in this State, making an aggre
gate of 81,947 white members of the M.
E. Church South, in North Carolina.
This estimate does not embrace the Fro
testant Methodists, the Northern Meth
odists and the three colored Methodist
organizations in the State. Their mem
bership is believed to aggregate some
50,000 or 70,000, making a total oi seme
115,000 Methodists in the,State.

The Carolina central.
We still live in hopes that the Caro
lina Central will yet penetrate to Ruth
erfordton, and that,too,before very many
more moons have waxed and waned, al
though we fear that there is but little
hopA for such ft onBmnatin inst at
this time. The people there are very
anxious to be let out of the woods by that
route. Here is what the Rutherfordton
Banner has to say in response to some
recent remarks oi ours;
Friend James has our thanks and the
thanks of our people for bringing to
notice, at the other end of the line, their
wants and position on railroad matters.
We are pleasedto learn that the matter
of an extension of the Carolina Central
is considered one of interest to the peo
ple of Wilmington, as well as of future
benefit to that city. Our people are
earnestly seeking an outlet, and it will
give them pleasure to know that some
interest is being telt in Wilmington for a
connection of the seaboard with the
mountains. . '
It is a matter of vital importance to
our people that the county of Rutherford
recure connection with the railroad world
at ah early date. She has waited long
and patiently, until now she is surround
ed on nearly every hand by railroads,
while her pet scheme (the Wilmington,
Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad), slip
ped away from her almost while she was
moving the dirt and grading the road.
Her bonds, given towards building this
line, are yet being paid, together with
the interest on the same from year to
year; and for these thousands of dollars
she gets no return. While this is regard
ed in the light of a misfortune, and while
the present management may not be to
blame, yet our people feel that they
should receive some consideration at
their hands, in the matter of an extension
of the road to Rutherfordton the ter
minus of the lice under the original char
ter. When the W., C. Jb R. Railroad was
projected, it was the pride of our whole
section that it was to be a "North Caro
lina" road ; that it was for the up-building
of Wilmington as our great seaport.
At the same time Spartanburg was offer
ing us connection with Charleston, but
so great was the Jealousy between the
Stases, that the w u. & Jtt. railroad
carried the day in favor of our own sea
port Wilmington. Much of the jeal
ousy of that day has died away, yet our
people would be rejoiced to 'see the old
scheme carried out, and would take pride
in contributing to the already great and
increasing prosperity of Wilmington, the
wealth of ber forests, her mines and her
farms. -.
We are only 24 miles from Shelby, and
a good portion of the old line has been
graded. This grade could be turned to
good account in the extension of the road,
and under skillful management and the
improved methods of railroad building
should give us a roaa at a nominal cost.
Let us bore. friend James, that the
extension may soon be made, and that
