King, Water Valley, Mis*., cured by | > Aye* Sarsaparilla ^ X "For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rheumatism. I tried every known remedy, consulted the best physi!cians, visite<l Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors'bills; * but could obtain only temporary relief. My . flesh was wasted away so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds: my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles S& A I ^ being twisted tip in knots. I was unable to P^. dress myself, except with assistance, and 8k could only hobble about by using a cane. I uK had no appetite, and was assured, by tho Hr doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure Hfe relief only by means of hypodermic injecWm tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged ^ in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying ? t everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to. take Ayer's Sarsaparilto. Inside of two months, I was able to walk f. without a cane. In three months, my limb3 began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured. My weight has increased St to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith." AYER'S p "O'ft Wortft Fair Sarwparllla. E \ AYER'S TILLS cure JZeadachc.

A number of students thought this was the Edgefield reunion moved over the line but the "boys" from Edgefield (Saluda) seemed not to Xant to claim it as such, so we organized our reunicn Lexington County Reunion. Prof. Sidney J. Derrick presided through the organization. J. E. P. Kaiser was elected President; D. P. Ffird Vice President, and P. P. Risinger, Secretary. President Kaiser made a few appropriate rear marks upon taking his seat, aft<r which TV. B. Shealy, delivered the , address of welcome, which was f responded to by Col. J. Biooks : TViDgard, both of which assured us | that as students and friends of New*- j 1' . berry College we were welcomed : i ? among them, to mingle in their company, to eDjoy the hospitality of j I'(L their homes, to share the good thiEgs ! they had brought out there in their | baskets, and last but not least, the one seeking a wife would find the ' Rocky Well belle second to none i / found any where. And judging from what we saw we believe the boys en[ joyed the latter hugely and will not I very soon forget the reunion at St. f ^ John's. C. J. Ramage, Wyse's ferry, spoke on the value of college training. Eis j| speech was well delivered and showed $ beautifully the value of college trainPp*~ ing in any profession of life from the farmer to the "society dude and the shrewd politician. *Arthis time we were invited to share the good things brought out to s satisfy the inner man. And odIj the one who has enjoyed the hospitality and good things which the ladies of the St. John's section are noted for, can fully appreciate the force of my j remarks when I say, no section could hare cared for us better, f0* After diuuer Col. J. Brooks WiDgard, Lexington, showed how the "Eiuca11 tion of today photographed the the future." He said "The colleges of a country photographed what that country was, referring to England, M Germany as the mighty educational W powers of the world, and our own country not behind." bp- Rev. 0. B. Shearouse, Eiheredge, jM? - ably showed us the duty of the church to the college, (Newberry college]. He said, "When a man ? knows his duty it is his duty to do it. Your duty to Newberry College r&f is a moral duty; Newberry College has a claim upon you; upon your sons, and upon your support. This Br duty is acknowledged by the profesSp sors of the institution, and doy some of the best young men of our State going there upon their own resources. The last speaker announced was H Prof. Geo. B. Cramer, President of the college. All who know President i Cromer or his ability as a speaker, j know that it is impossible for my pen i to give anything like a full account of bis speech, so I shall only attempt a few words.

The different denominations have built their colleges because they have recognized the fact that they must have a whoesome college in which to educate their sons. One in which the bi'o'e and the religion of Jesus Christ has a place and a ruling influence. While Newberry College is a Lutheran school, it does not teach Theology, since ministers of other Christian denominations have been educated within its walla. "We have a Seminary to teach Theology. Had Newberry College never done bdv other work than educate .the fifty or sixty preachers sent out from its walls, it would have done a noble work. There are three ways of reaching the boys of our country. 1st, By educating preachers; 2d, By sending out Christian teachers to the denominational schools; 3rd, By sending out Christian young men, to miugle with our young people.
