Wednesday, May 13.1908. Our Virginia Letter. To the Editor of The Dispatch: Although sixty-five miles from home, I am reminded that it is high time to write my friends another letter through The Dispatch. I have been at Eggleston, in Giles county, for a week, preaching in a vacant congregation. Somehow, I am called on for a lot of such work. This is the next station to Pembroke, the home of Rev. B. W. Cronk, of your town. Mine host, Mr. Walker, drove, me up there the other day, and I was much pleased to meet his family, and to enjoy their kindness. Two of his brothers-in-law attended our service yesterday. Their name is Snidow, and I wonder if it was not originally the same as the name ol' similar sound in Lexington county. Their home has very picturesque surioundings. It is on the east bank of the New river. Between the house and the river bank, a new railroad has been built. The Norfolk and Western is on the west j bank. Just'opposite the home, the latter road runs through a tunnel. This tunnel is through tremendous cliffs of rock, projecting to the water's edge. They are called "castle rocks," and the name indicates their appearance and character. They are said to be 300 feet high and present a \%ry imposing appearance. In March I spent a week in Floyd county, on a preaching tour. I had twenty-five miles to drive after leaving the train. Moreover, it was through the mountains. Had to travel behind two horses, and went only j about; three miles and hour. rne people are universally kind. On this trip, I left a suit of ciothes in the office of the liveryman?so it finally appeared. I was about a month finding where it was. My congregation heard of my loss, and promptly presented me with a check of $27.50 for a new suit. My last suit finally turned up, so I was a suit of clothes to the good. I suppose my home friends are eating fresh garden vegetables. We are eating fresh vegetables too, but not from our gardens. Our elevation makes such very late. Beans, corn, potatoes, etc., are just coming up. I have a good garden, and this is the extent of my work along thi9 line. We are late, but have abundance in summer when your gardens will suffer from heat and lack of moisture. We have just gone through an epidemic of mumps. There must have been 200 cases in our place. We had seven cases in our family?all except myself. Mr9. B. suffered very much. She 4'bad" to keep going, and paid for it. The children got along nice ly, but had to miss school. We had very enjoyable services the week before and including Easter. Rev. H. P. Counts preached for me two nights, also another preacher one night. Eleven were received into full communion with the church, four of whom were heads of families, two of whom were silvered with age, nearing the three-score-and-ten point in life. Three of our own children have been confirmed. Our people are very kind to us, and we appaeciate it. I enjoy my usual good health. Love to all. ' S. C. B. Rural Retreat, Va., May 9.

Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally.?Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. Obituary. Peterson B. Edwards was born Xov. 28, 1866, and departed this life April 7,. 1908, ags 41 yeare, 4 months and 10 days.

We trust that it is well with his soul. The floral offerings were profuse and lovely. M. More News from the New England States. If anyone has any doubt as to the virtue of Fole's Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he says was "just the thing" for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. Derrick's Drug Store. Bolwrt 2. laafcinot Dead. On Wednesday morning, April 29, as the golden rays of the sun came to dismantle the earth of its darkness, Brother Robert E. Inabinet breathed his last, and his spirit took its flight from time to eternity. We have lost a good neighbor and a true friend. He leaves a wife, a daughter and three sons to mourn his loss. Brother Inabinet was a kind husband and an affectionate father. We tenderly and sincerely sympathize with the bereaved. May heaven's blessings rest upon them and the comforter of all hearts comfort them in this, their hour of trial. Farewell, dear brother, we hope to meet you again.

"Health Coffee" is really the closest Coffee Imitation ever yet produced. This clever Coffee Substitute was recently produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either. Dr. Snoop's Health Coffee is made from pure toasted grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really ir would fool an expert?who might drink it for Coffee. No "iO or W minutes tedious boiling.
