Randolph, Brunswick, Ga., writes: "X was under the care of nine different doctors, but not ono did me the good that Uotanlc Balm has done me." In Pennsylvania Mountains. Twin Lakk Camp, ) August null. '?1.j Ii a ?B k n 3 A 1) v k bt 18 k it:? Here on the summit uf one of tho highest mountain rangen of Northern Pennsylvania?just be tween two beautiful lakes (aptly named)?I am camping with a genial company of Northern friends. It is to me a now experi ence and a very pleasant one. Conceivo a pair of clear lakes on the top of a mountain,?water so blue that thoy appear like two great liquid eyes turned toward heaven. At night, the slars reflected seem to lloat in them. Through the day, the sun, tho clouds and tho shad ing trees on tho shore produce many obanges. So much to give you some slight idea of the picturesquo spot?the point where just now I am passing a week most delightfully in the "Wells Camp." Severnl tonta are pitched about a roomy rustic build ing away in the woods in which those who prefer can eat and sleep. Most prefer tent life. The noisy busy world's wheels of traffic and (ravel are not heard up here. It is very restful, alter the thousand miles of railroad travel to reach the spot. My ready Introduction into a circle (In a sense) select is due to one with mo Irom Laurens ?und to Port Jervis ami Mil ford friends. If I could describe the camp-life as I ft lid it hero 1 urn sure you world bo charmed. Professional men und gentlemen students from several of the colleges are with us; "sweet girl graduates," two, who having left behind them their books, are nil the more bright and witty for tho time for having so done. I cannot begin to tell you in a brief letter all about the enjoy ments furnished here in the hills. And then tho air und the faro and the wonderful nppetito somehow furnished to mutch, make menl time a very interesting period three times every day. Tho bill of fare, I am sure, would astonish you, ranging from tropi cal fruits und melons to wild duck and woodcock shot on the shores of the lakes and splendid pickerel and other line Ash from these waters. This is not "roughing it" in bachelor fashion though wo be in tho depths of the wilderness. We have good cooking and clean serving by tliu lady chaperons of the camp; and the fathers and the uncles of the camp are good pro vider.". I must mention how greatly pleased were the gentle men members of our camp by the contribution of lovely cakes sent by the ladies of Laurens, and tlint cvey one who tasted pronounced them delicious. You know very well that the gallantry of a .Southerner never forsakes him in any place, but here with these bright Yankee girls in tho tented woods I confess I am sortie times puzzled in what way to show it. To see her and meet her in camp costume, gliding independently through the green trees in colors that would please Buskin, or in bathing suit afloat, is a study. The elements of wuter and pure mountain air with exercise, seem to conspire to make her appear fresh, lovable and irresistible. I do not know how it will go with me, but I am pretty sure, "Billy," it would go hard with your more susceptible nature were you here. They are gathered here from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North and South Carolina?a general happy com pany. Thero is a difference In the as pect of this region of the North and that in which we dwell. This altitude gives the coolness of at mosphere desired nt this season; ours, the winter-warmth and flow ers. Both are lovely; in both are friends; and it is tho kindness of these and their love after all that renders any spot, where these are, dear to us. Much as I see to ad mire here at the North, the South, the "sunny South" is home to me and holding above and bonenth her sod those nearest to me, she will always claim precedence where over I go. I may write again from another point.' Sam. I>ial Dots. The mooting at Dials closed last Thursday with very good results, Everybody enjoyed the meeting more or less. The preaching ?vas excellent. Bro. Carlisle did good work among us. May we walk as he has walked that wo may meet him 'over there," where parting will bo no move.

C.\ Aug. 14, '?1 S EDITOR ADVERTISER: Wo beg leave for space In your columns to Insert this, If possible. Thero is a great deal of complaint being made concerning the colored ministers, especially in this county, being so expensive. We have in this county between sixty and sev enty-flvo ministers (colored.) We pay to them a standing salary from $150 to $200 each, every year, which amounts to no les than $9,760 every twelve months. Besides that we pay to a good many of them $10 per month for the support of their families; con sequently tho total amount would be between $13000 and $14000 at the expiration of twelvo months. Therefore, paying this unnecessary amount causes many poor children to suffer for want of necessities, which they could have had. The ministers say that they arc compollcd to have this salary, if not they can't preach, they can't support their wives and send their children to school, and that they can't buy such clothing as required for a minister to wear. When they expect all this from peoplo that are not na able to work as they are, what do they think will become ol them and their childron ? We havo several old men and women that can hardly make a support for themselves much less for those uble, strong,so-called ministers and their wives. It is very seldom you hear their (tho poor, helpless class) m.mes called during their meetings. After preaching is over they generally eall for a largo col lection for the support of their fam ilies and when they think they havo got tho last ? cents that the audience possosses, then they ask for a collection for the poor, consequently the poor get nothing. Then tho ministers and stewards say that they have discharged their duty, when they know that they have drained the pockets of their members and all that they could get out of the congregation. There fore, the poor and needy ones are left in u worso condition than be fore. We do earnestly beg the en tiro community to take better care of their own families. Feed, clothe and educate your own children and wo assure you that you will get along a great deal better. It the wives and children of our ministers would work themselves, they would not be eternally beg ging. Wo believe In educating our own children, not other peo ple's. All that we have to do is to unite and declare that we will not stand it any longer, and we will see how much moro we will have to distrib ute among our own children. Start the ball rolling and divide the yarn. "COLORED OBSERVER." Cross Hill Notes. Children's day at Liberty Springs was a success as far as tho speeches and recitation and music was con cerned but the rain sadly inter fered witli tho social part of the day. The meeting at Liberty Springs closed on Thursday. Thero were live additions to tho church and we trust much other good in the reviving and spiritualizing the members of tho church.
