The many Barnwell friends of the Rev. J D. Moore will read with in terest the following clipping from the Baptist Courier. Rev. Moore was pas tor of the Barnwell Baptist Church for several year* and made many friends during his residence here. He married Miss Jennie Brown, of Barnwell. The Courier says; It will be seen from a statement giv en elsewhere that Secretary J. D. Moore has offered his resignation to the State Mission Board. He has filled the position of Sunday school secretary of the Board for seven years; and stead ily grew in favor with his brethren. At the time of his election there was doubt as to the need of such work, and for a few years after the work began some thought that the methods of Brother Moore were not those which were required. But it is to his peculiar hon or that these doubts and misgivings have completely given way to the most hearty and, so far as we know, unani mous commendation and support. He saw the situation with clearer eyes than most of his brethren and proved himself a patient and wise worker. It is with the sincerest regret that we see him lay down a work for which he is pre-eminently fitted. And then, we love him. His heart is royal. r One-fourth off on Straw Hats and Canvas Oxfords. J.

He advised me to try Thedford’a Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicine* I decided tb take hts advice, although I did mot haw any confidence la it I have now been taking Black Draught lor three mouths and it has cured me— haven't had those awful sick headache* since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me " Thedford s Black-Draught has bee* found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herb*, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.
