I bad calculated on putting up for my own special use several gallons of one hundred proof blackberry wine, but alas 1 the thing got out on me?the sugar men got wind of the fact that I always took it with sugar in it and straightway ran the price of the sweet crystalline sub? stance clear out o' sight. Next time I want to put up wine I am going to keep the thing to myself. I could give you several "sticks full" of personal and other facts this morning, Messrs. Editors, but right now I have to be going. I go to Mt. Springs to help prepare a place for the speaking to-mor? row. Amen! Ned Neeele. Plercetown Items. We are done laying by and consequent? ly we havn't anything to do but to attend pic nios and protracted meetings. Wehad the pleasure of attending a most enjoya? ble pio nie lust Saturday. It was given by Misses Ida and Minnie Jamison, in honor of the Misses Bowen, of Fiokens, and was held in the Colonel's pasture, where we spent several hours very pleasantly in courting and playing mumblety peg. Just as old Sol disappeared behind the Western hills, supper was announced, and we gathered around the repast which was spread on the grass, and every one did justice to the occasion. But the supper cannot be described, but suffice it to say it would have suited the most fastidious. . I've been told that there is a cruel god, Who is blind and uses a bow, And I know that he was there that day, As the future, I'm sure will show. But if I write here all that I saw, Maybe I'll get through by and by; Yet I'll say that few who were there, Will forget tbe fifteenth day of July. The mnsic was furnished by A. J. and A. L. Smith, who sreexcellent performers on the violin and flute, Every one who was there went away with heavy hearts when the time for departure came. Bat it will be ever fresh in my memory. Miss Daylight Barr, of Greenville, and Miss Mattie Ad kins, of Shi loh, are visit ing in our midst. Go it, boys, the girls have come to tame you. So get a move on and don't hide behind the door any more. Miss Carrie Pearman has been selected ? to teach tbe Tuckerville school. One devout brother went to line ont a hymn in prayer meeting not long ago. but it seems that bis vision was not clear. He began as follows: Amazing grace, the Dispensary bas come, They're bottling up tbe gin and rum ; But good corn juice is still the go, Praise God from whom all blessings flow. He suddenly grasped the situation, bnt made matters worse when he lined out an? other stanza: Amazing grace how Bweet the sound. The Democratic plums are dropping down; The peaches they're ripening, too, Please fill my jug with mountain dew. Sam Dewbbbbt. Editobs Intelligences : By resolu? tion of the Saloda Baptist Sunday School Institute, I will give you a short account of the proceedings of that body. < The Institute held its regular annual session with Lebanon Church July 11th and 12th inst. Twenty-three Churches were represented, besides a large number of visitors. The introductory sermon was preached by Bev. A. C. Stepp from II Theas., II: 13. It was a clear and for? cible presentation of the subject. The President, Bro. D. W. Hyott, pre? sided, and T. T. Wakefield, Secretary, kept a record of the proceedings. A number of the brethren who had been appointed to speak on the subjects for discussion were present, and were well prepared to perform their duty. The subjects were all on the line of Sunday School work, and their discussion will serve, we trust, as a great stimulus to the work. Bro. Vass. the beloved Superintendent of tbe Baptist Orphanage, was present, and gave many interesting facts concern? ing that institution. Great interest was awakened in tbe cause, and about one hundred dollars was subscribed to tbe building fund. Many Sunday Schools are planning to raise a fond for tbe sup? port of an orphan, as the Anderson school and some others are already doing. Bey. Mr. Farmer, of Little River Church, preached to a very attentive au? dience at night, Bro. Farmer was very unwell, but preached a masterly sermon, nevertheless. Text, Romans x, 13,14,15. Among the brethren who participated In the exercises were Revs. M. McGee, O. L. Martin, M. Gassaway, T. H. Bar? rett, M. B. Wright, Brethren L. E. Camp? bell, J. N. Vandiver, C. Wardlaw. C. O. Burriss, J. J. Copeland, Dr. Robinson, A. R. Cox, and others whose names I cannot recall. The next meeting of the Institute will be held with Townville Baptist Church, on the second Wednesday and Thursday in July 1894. ?Sr- The other County papers please copy. ' _ ?

J. Alfred Writes: I am in my seventy-third year, and for fifty years I have been a great sufferer from indigestion, constipation and bill ionsness. I have tried all tbe remedies advertised for these diseases and got no permanent relief. About one year ago, tbe disease assuming a more severe and dangerous form, I became very weak and lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained twelve pounds in three months. My strength and health, my appetite and my digestion were perfectly restored and now I feel as young and vigotous as I ever did in my life. L. J.
