The prizes were beautiful gold medals and were presented by Dr. Grier, of Er3kine, and Secretary Wilson, who was one of the judges. After the contest was over Mr. Wilson delivered a most interesting address. A very large audience was present on this occasion. The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one wno Has nact an attask of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enongh to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, bat it will cure rheumatism, aDd hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by McMaster Co. ?The many frierds and admirers of Gen.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. 8Xfc The Fairfield Baptist Sunday Schoo Convention held its 4th annual session with the Ridgeway Baptist Church on Friday, the 28th day of April, closing j Sunday with the 11 o'clock sermou. The convention was organized by the < re-election of W. R, Rabb president; 1 : B. J. Yarborough vice-president; " ! W. G. Hicnant secretary, and Rev. : j TV. R. Briscoe treasurer. Tbis meet- j ! ing was not as largely attended as onr < (previous sessions, owing, probably, 1 i to the backward spring, which pre- j vented many farmers from completing , their planting and being present with j U3 as delegates or visitors. 1 The program was practical and in- ^ Btructive, and the discu3sious were J made interesting by the deep feeling ' manifested by the speakers in the ^ Sunday School interest of our land. < Seven ministers were present .with us, { hnf nnne from a distance. This was ! """ " t the only sbadow of, disappointment ? that marred ita proceedings. The re- i porta from Sunday Schools were ] deeply interesting, and instructive? j in that they emphasizsd and illustrated , the facts that Sunday Schools were an important factor to the church. \ "Sunday Schools in History," the ^ first topic, (and one not well understood), was discu93ed by Bro. W. R. a Briscoe, and wa3 made a most inte- i resting as well as instructive subject, 5 and the progress made in Snnday ^ [ School interest was gratifying. Space will not permit me to touch upon the topics as they came ap and I were discusscd by the appointed c speakers. * Rev. E A.

At 11 o'clock the new pastor, Rtv. v J, L.

The following story well illustrates the fact: A certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight a duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion on the part of his friends, who felt confi dent of success. Jtiis antrgomsc, a r lame man, walked 011 cratches. When the place for the shooting had been reached, the lame man's seconds 1 asked that he be allowed to lean against a milestone which happened to be there. The privilege was allowed, and the lame man took his stand.

They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearingdown sensation, profuse or scanty apply of urine witn strong ouor, i frequent desire to pas3 it with scalding or burning sensetion, sediment zo it after standing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hoars, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. j The above symptoms are often at- ' tribated by the pa.ient herself or by ' her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, bat a reflection of the primary cause, which is Kidney ironoie. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble and both need tfce same remedy. Dr. Kiimer's Swamp Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cenis or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
