D., is enthusiastic over the temperauco saloon established in Chi cago. In a letter to the New York Voice, ho says of it: The Home saloon and temperance cafe at 155 Washington street, Chicago, after several months’ trial, is meeting with the success that the most sanguine could have anticipated. It was begun in a basement, in the heart of the city, and before the transformation was effected it was a typical basement Chicago saloon. Hundreds of these saloons are in basement stories. Within the busi ness district where our temperance sa loon is situated there are nearly 1,000 whisky and beer saloons. Although our temperance saloon is in a basement, long and somewhat low, it has been lightened up and made attract ive by a largo number of pictures and mirrors. The policy has been to give the very best lunch possible with the temperance drinks, and in no other place in Chicago can so good a meal bo obtained for 10 cents. It is found that a largo number of persons who have frequented saloons at tend the Home saloon and are satisfied with the temperance beer or beverage which is dispensed there as a special feature. When this pure beverage of hops and malt, unfermented and abso- utely nonalcoholic, was first manufac tured, it was baptized by the press in different places as “bishop’s beverage” or “bishop’s beer.” In order to protect the name from use by nefarious persons, it was taken and protected as a trade mark. It is manufactured under con tract with one of the most responsible firms of Chicago, the W. H. Purcell company, which guarantees its purity In every particular. It would bo liable in heavy damages if a fermented and alcoholic substance were foisted upon us. The beverage is used by a vast num ber as a tonic, and has the hearty com mendation of the medical fraternity. After the lunch hour is over the tables are cleared for reading and writing and the playing of innocent games. The manager speaks with great delight of this use of the room by young persons. a high-toned Christian gentleman. It would be almost impossible to rec ommend him above his abilities, for they are great and his influence is wonderful. Rev. R. J. Tate preached the clos ing sermon of our meeting last Thursbay evening Irom the Ifith chapter and 23th, verse of Proverbs. This was one of his most noble ser- 5 mons, he fairly made the house and its inmates tremble with fe .r and grief. Bro. Tate is a man after God’s own heart, for ho will weep with you in your house of distress. He will faithfully reprove you to your face for actions for which others are ridi culing and censuring you behind your back. He will dare to stand forth in your defence when detraction is secretly aiming its weapon at your reputation. He will acknowledge you with the same cordiality and behave to you with the same friendly attention in the company of your superiors in rank and fortune as wl en claims of pride do not inter fere with those of friendship. If misfortune and loss should oblige you to retire into a walk of life in which you cannot appear with the same liberality as formerly, he will still think himself happy in your so ciety and instead of withdrawing | himself from an unprofitable eonnec- lion take pleasure in pl , ITTl's!'lll* self your friend and cheerfully as sist you to support the burden of your afflictions. When sickness shall call you to retire from the busy world, he will follow you to ^our gloomly retreat and listen with atten tion to your talc of suffering, and he will administer the balm of consola tion to your fainting spirit. And lastly when death shall burst asun der every earthly tie, he will shed a tear upon your grave and lodge the dear reinemberance of your mutual friendship in his heart. Bro. Tate has the eye of a hawk, the swiftness of an eagle and a spirit liken unto Christ. He is just this kind of a man, and I earnestly admonish and i intreat the brethren at Macadonia to I grapple him to their hearts with | hooks of steel, as one that loves ! their immortal soul, i Next Saturday September 7th is the day set apart for the Macadonia people to elect their pastor for an other year, and I do hope that the brethren and sisters will turn out in lull force and give R. hearty vote, for 1 know he more like he was at home if he could get the voice of the wholy church. A Backwoods Cussin’. [Correspondence of The Ledger. | Clarence, S. C., Sept., 2.—There was a mad dog in our section this week—at least it was supposed to be mad. It hit Mr. Johnson’s dog and one of T. E. Atkin’s hogs. Eber Johnson killed it, so there is one dog less, whether it was mad or no. A. G. McAllister and wife, of In man, S. C., passed through our sec tion last week on their way to visit friends and relatives at Norah, S. C. Ambrose Williams, of Willie, S. C., has been very ill for several weeks with fever, but ho is now convales cent. Sometimes gr..pes are very costly. There was a young man named Os car Clayton in our section who a short while since had to pay ten dol lars for the plucking of two bunches of grapes or be put in jail ten days. He chose the latter. Oscar is a son of Nathan Clayton and lives with his father who lives on C. C. Bearden’s land. Of course Oscar didn’t think anything of getting a few grapes “in his landlord’s vineyard,” and there would have been nothing done about about it had it not been that Mr. Bearden upon seeing him in his vine yard proceeded to give him a lecture upon the immorality of the thing, whereupon Oscar g‘ vo him in return “a regular genuine backwoods cus sin’,” and also the fact that Mr. Clayton and Mr. Bearden were not on friendly terms with each other. Mr. Clayton has retaliated by prose cuting Mr. Bearden for throwing rocks at his cow, and he says he has other cases against him that he in tends pushing, therefore unless they iTT* ‘■7iiTTfiVi , i7 i ^ their difficulties I don’t know through with their lawing?

A man prominent in the affairs of Dunkirk recently related the following incident: “One day, two months after I had signed the pledge, I had a craving for a drink of whisky so strong that I could see nothing elso but drinks about mo and felt us if I must have at least one drink. I told a friend of my state of mind. Ho said: ‘You need not drink. I can tell you of a substitute that will stop your discomfort. Get a bowl of ice water and a raw potato, peel it and cut down one end of it to a size convenient to take in the month. Dip the potato in the ice water and suck it every time you think you must have the whisky. ’ I' IJ K I ’A U K D i 1 did as ho advised. I took the bowl of ice water and the potato and placed them on a table at the bead of my bed and would dip the potato in the water and place it between my lips every few moments till I went to sleep. I awoke free from any desire to drink whisky and have been free from it over since.

Those of to-day, as a rule, differ from those of the past in many respects. Fully as great is the difference be tween Dr. King’s ROYAL GERMETUER and the ordinary medicines of to-day. i It is unlike them in THESE FIVE THINGS: 1. It does not taste like a medi cine. It is as pleasant to take as lemonade and makes a most refreshing drink. 2. It never nauseates the most delicate stomach. 3. It does not swap off one dis ease for another. It does not set up one form of disease in order to relieve another as is so often the case. 4. It contains no alcohol or opium in any form and is always harmless even when given to a babe one day old. 5. It docs not patch simply, it cures. It roaches as nothing else does to the hidden sources of disease in the blood and removes the cause. It does this with an ease and power that have never been equaled. For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach, Bowels. Kidneys and Nerves, and for all forms of MALARIAL FOISON It stands pre-eminent— without a rival or a peer.
