JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
ASBOCIATIONAL, AND OTHER
MA TTERS.
In our last we gave an account of the or
ganisation of the Harmony Association —
good name, and to associate in harmony is a
good thing—but we did not say that from
that meeting we went to Levyville, but we
did. Nor did we say there had been a new
church organized there, but there was; and
it was just before the Association was organ
ized, and it furnished the new Association
with a fine Clerk, in the person of Ira J.
Carter, and if Mississippi can spare any
more such Carters, Wagoners, Farmers, or
any other name, like the Carter brothers,
she will do Florida a favor to send them
along.
That was a bright day, internal]v and ex
ternally, we spent at brother I. J. Carter’s
and if we were a single man, would again
soon, maybe. We enjoyed the acquaintance
of his mother, too, whom we found to be a
pious, intelligent woman, and being the
widow of a deceased minister, j s in full sym
pathy with ministers.
We preached at night—Monday nto hl—at
brother N. It. Carters, and his mother-in
law heard the only sermon she had heard in
over ten years. I hat ought not to have been
so, and somebody needs a little scolding for
it. We were delighted with the cheerful
ness and patience of that suffering Christian.
1 here should be a house of worship erected
at Levyville as soon as possible, and a
Sunday-school organized. We have hopes
of a good work for the Savior there.
With a degree of sorrow, we took our de
parture from Levyville, to Bronson, in com
pany with brother J. 8. Turner. To some
of our old arquaintances it may seem just a
little incredible, but it is true, when’ with
some people we listen, and let them ta'k, and
brother “Jim Turner’’ is one of those people,
and we never enjoyed a man’s talking more
than his that day. What reason he has to
be grateful. He will know what we mean.
Io toother Tillis and family, whose hospi
tality we enjoyed at Bronson, for the first
lime, we say thank you for your kindness,
and for taking The Index,
Leaving Bronson on regular train, we
were soon at Gainesville, but had time
enough to run into the post-office and pet the
postmaster at Arredondo to subscribe for
This Index. “Gtay Raines” a modest,
genteel boy we immers'd at Baldwin a few
years ago, is the good-looking, polite post
master at Arredondo.
We found Gainesville improving rapidly,
and still drawing upon Georgia, the last
acquisition being our friend, R. W. Davis,
a lawyer, whom we heard well of.
Wo visited Mis. T< rnkies, ran out a few
minutes to brother King’s, and supped with
Elder Waugh, and found him and wife and
daughter all well, and Mrs. McGill, his
wife a mother, is with him, and what a de
lightful chat we had I There are not many
preachers of note in the South she does not
know something about. We called on our
friend. Eddie Hampton, whom we found
quite feeble; dined M rs. Taylor’s; a “pop-call”
on Deacon Benton Ellis and family ; a good
merry, laughing time at Capt. T. C. Ellis’,
and a brief call and good bye to sister Oli
ver and children, and my little niece. Emma
Flemming, of Blakely, Ga., and we are off'
for the last Associational meeting of the
setsoa,
THE NEW RIVER,
and it met, and we met it in time to hear a
good, sensible, appropriate introductory ser
mon by Elder A. Crosby, but a little too
much seasoned with apologits.
The sermon over, the delegates strolled
about, sunned themselves a while, and the
body met for permanent organization. No
dinner? What did you ask that for? Well,
I am net bound to tell you, but I can tell you
I got mine—a good one; thanks to sister
York and Bishop Taylor—J. G Taylor, I
mean—who is not small or “Zaccheus like,”
without some benefit derived from it. Do
you take the hint?
The letters were read, delegates enrolled, ,
and officers elected. Elder Kicklighter was
elected Moderator, and brother 11. C. Barker '
re elected Clerk. Brother Kicklighter, on
taking the chair as Moderator, made appro
pri to and touching allusion to the absence 1
of Elder Silas Weeks, who was former Mod
erator, and then lying very low.
Three new churches were received, corres
pondents and visitors invited to seats, and
while the Mralendor and Clerk were making
out a list of committees, we were allowed to
talk abont The Index, and we did; we
seldom fail, when allowed, and we were
listened to, and we got some renewals and
some new names, and would have got more,
had the peuple had the money to subscribe.
The next day was beautiful, after the
morning, and a line congregation assembled,
for a sparsely settled country. 'I he mission
ary sermon was well listened to, and hearts
were touched, and money was contributed,
more than ever at one time in that As-ocia- I
tion, it was said.
The writer left Sunday eve ning, and so
knows nothing of Monday's proceedings.
We weie delighted to meet' Elders McKen
ney, Kicklighter and Mslfus, whim we had
not met befoic, and old brother J. O. Kelly,
whom we bad met years before at Jackson
ville, and we are always glad to meet Elder
Abiabam Crosby, a man whore fa.e shows a
kind heart.
Elder Kicklighter will make a fine Mod
erator, if kept at it. Sime biother should
buy him a copy of Mell's Parliamentary
Practice, at d he will soon learn the theory,
and keep him Moderator, and that will give
him practice, and that will make him a good
officer.
We wire struck with the fact that our
brother Taylor was uieful to our brethren of
the New River Association, ar.d especially
to the young Moderator. But we have not
time to say more now. In five weeks we
have been at eight Association*, preached
seventeen times, received about seventy new
subscribers, ami r early half as many renew
als, collected luuds for Heme and Foreign
Missions, and traveled indifinitely and pro
miscuously, over worked and sii k. Rest by

majority vote, dissolve the church, author

I church, at any future time, the right to re
! solve themselves into a conference, give an
exparte trial, and expel part of the mem
bers holding certificates of dissolution?”

CHEEKING LETTER.
Brother Chaudoin: Elim church closed
a meeting of eighteen days on Monday.
Bishop King in charge, Elder Perry present
ten days, and Elders Timmons, Hal), John
i son and Steele, assisted one day each. Re
sults—a thorough revival of the church, (a
great result alone,) to which add seventeen
baptisms, one by restoration, five by letter,
| and one upon certificate of baptism issued by
Elder J. 11. Tomkies, Chaplain 7th Florida
Volunteers, C. 8. A., May 4th. 1864. We
had preaching twice each day, and before
j each service, prayer meeting. Christians of
all denominations lent a willing hand, and
the interest increased to the last. Brother
Hall’s daughter was baptized Sunday. One
i whole household was baptized, and part of
one received by letter, and the remainder
was baptized. To God be all the praise. i
Yours truly, 8. B. Tokley.

INSTITUTE FOR THE CURE
-OF-
CANCERS AND STAMMERING!
OFFICE IN GOV. brown’s BLOCK, ATLAN-
TA, GEORGIA.
Cancers are radically cured by Dr. Moses
&Son, of Virginia, without the use of the
knife or caustic, with a purely vegetable
compound. Indolent and irritable ulcers,
tumors and wens successfully treateel by an
entirely' new process. No’ chloroform or
ether used. Persons are greatly deceived in
regard to the first symptons of this most
dreadful disease. Waiting too long, car
ries thousands to an untimely grave, after
weeks and months, and sometimes years of
intense suffering. To prevent this, if you
have a kernel or lump in the breast, face,
or any other part of the body, have it cured
and avoid the consequences. Persons who
do not understand the treatment of cancers
will tell you it is no cancer, to let it alone, it
will give you no trouble; but after it is too
late they will tell you it is a cancer and they
cannot cure you. All those afflicted will
please avail themselves of this opportunity
at once. Hundreds of cancers can be seen
at ffur Institute on exhibition. Since our
arrival in the city we have several patients
under treatment who are cured.

The Cast Plows are made from pig metal of

[Extract from letter dated Richmond. Va., September 3, 1879 ]
“1 have paid a great deal of attention to urinary troubles, and nave frequently and tredy
prescribed the Llthia Waters In their treatment with the very best results. In all the vagl
ous forms of the Uric acid Diathesis, whether as well-formed Gravel or Gout, or in the mTß
er forms of Gouty Dyspepsia or Nettlerash in their various varieties, I know of no mineral
water which 1 consider at ail < qual that of Spring No. 2.
Extract from letter of the late Dr. THOB. P. AIKINBON, Ex-President Stale Medical So
ciety, of August 15,1871:
“No more remarkable results were ever accomplished by any therapeutic agent than by
the Buffalo LHhla Waters. Spring No. 2, In Rheumatic Gout and Rheumatism. 1 have been a
visitor lanh to these Sprlngsand the celebrated Hot W’ater resorts of the country, and the
result of my observation leaves me Utile doubt but that the Liihla Waters relieve a larger
percentege of suff-rs Irom these maladies than the Hot Waters. In Gravel, of uric acid
origin, the Lllbia Waters are well nigh specific, acd the same may be safely said as to their
efficacy in all irritable conditions of the Kidneys and Bladder.”
RHEUMATIC GOUT—Case of Dr. J. A. Hanby, of Patrick county, Va.

Col. Thos F. Goode, Buflalo Llthia Springs, Va.:
Dear Sir—lt affords me very great pleasure to bear testimony to the extraordinary vir
tues ot the Buffalo Llthia Wateis aa illustrated in my own case. For four years I was afflic
ted with Rheumatic Gout, suffering to such an extent as to incapacitate me entirely for ths
discharge of the duties of my profession, andwas finally reduced to such a condition as to ba
confined for[four mouths to my bed Every remedy that could be suggested by the most skilful
| medical men oftnis section was faithfully tested without affording relief. By the advice of
one of my medical attendants, and as a last resort. I determined upon a trial of the B iffalo
Llthia Water, Hp' Ing No. 2. I am frank to say without faith In its virtues, having but little
confidence In mineral waters. When, however, I had used several cases of the water, I was
so far restored as to be able to be out of bed and upon my feet. I am now In better health than
I have been for twenty years and am actively engaged In the practice of my profession. I
cannot In candor do otherwise than ascribe my recovery solely to this water, the value of
which 1 regard as beyoud estimation. Very respectfully,
J A, HANDY, M. D.
