Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful rem edy for this disease, which it cures by purify ing the blood.

TJI32 AtLIAM'E BICVXIC. Uranville aud Vance Join Hands at Iksildtey. It was our privilege to attend the joint pic nic uiven by the ftub-rdliances contigu ous to Iabnej This village is midway between Oxford and Henderson. It is composed of a very excellent population who have faith in its future and being surrounded by k very thrifty agricultural psople it has reason to be proud of the general prosperity prey ailing among those tributaiy to its growth and progress. It is a great health resort as it possesses two mineral springs with fine curative quali ties, as water has been fully tested. The Springs belong to Mr. R. T. Atwood, a clever gentleman. In the near future we expect to see a; large hotel standing upon Butler Heights full of people seeking re- lief from the use of this excellent mineral ! water. But we are digressing. We wish to give a short report of the grand pic nic. It in the outset we pronounce a great success. The crowd was very large and remarka. ble for its fine appearance. Among the gentlemen w noticed a large number from Vance aad Granville and some rep resentative business men from Oxford and Henderson. The ladies were out in good numbers and took great interest in the occasion. Brother Caddell, of the News & Obser ver, of a tall commanding impressive bear" ing, was on hand, and so was Brother Hatchett who wields so brilliantly the trenchant blade of the Tomahawk. Mr. J. B. Dunn was master of ceremo nies and introduced the various speakers in a becoming manner. Rev. W. S. Hes ter was on,the stand and arose and offered a prayer asking the divine Master to let his blessings rest upon the large assem. blage present. Among those on the stand was Mr. D. N. Hunt, Vice-President of Granville County Farmers' Alliance. The first speaker was the highly accom plished Col. W. H. S.-Burgwyn, of Hen derson. He is debarred admission into the Alliance by reason of being a banker and a lawyer yet he is evidently a friend to the best interests oi agriculture. It is needless to sdy that his speech was able and instructive. He was followed by R. W. Winstom Esq., who fi'!m a sense of delicacy and propriety is voiding the making of polit ical speeches. He devoted his remarks to education, temperance and living with ing your income, handling them with great power and eloquence. At the con clusion of Mr. Winston's mo3t excellent address Dr. E. A. Thorne, of Halifax, N. C., was next introduced. Dr. Thorne is one of the most intelligent Farmers' Alli man in the State. He is an impressive and forcible speaker. His address abounded in a large fund of sound common sense' pertinently and forcibly presented. His audience was oon favorably impressed with his strong array of facts and argu ments, and he sustained himself through out as a speaker of ability. At the close of Dr. Thome's speech the Invitation was cordially extended to all to come to dinner. And you may know it was a dinneHof the most approved style. The eatables were of the greatest abund ance and of the best quality'. Everything was nice and neatly prepared, well cooke-. after the truest North Carolina style. The appetite of all were good and mad1 the keener by the tempting viand the tnhles groaned with. There was the greatest abundance left. During the intermission Mr McIIenry, the gentlemanly agent of the large Pi-ino House of Manly B. Ramos & Co., of Rich mond, Va., who w as present with a grand instrument treated the large audience to some splendid music. After dinner Mr. E. C. Bedingfield, of Wake was introduced. He is Secretary of the Farmers' Alliance of the State. He i-i a younsr m&n, small of statue, but big of brain, lie spoke in a pleasant tone of voice and coiitinu d from the outset to pack good sense in what he said. He is no fanatic, he is not dominated by wild and impracticable theories. He is embued with Allianance principles and Democra cy and knows; how to serve them both up in a savory manner. We like him, he is possessed of jthe qualities of head and heart, and tod the Alliance people that the' had selected nominees in many in stances and it? was their duty to stand by the men the'sp had nominated. He was opposed to a?jy splitting, and during his speech stated several times that he was a Democrat, amjl could not see how a white man could beia Republican and go home and look hu jvife square in the face. Mr. John C. Scai !orough, of Raleigh, closed the program with a plain practica ble speech n favor of the education of the people. He argued at some length the great bfnefit the Farmers' Alliance would ultimately bring upon the country, and the Democratic party wad our only salvation. : I NP.-W ADVERTISEMENTS. Nev Firm DE. J.
