We regret to learn that Dr. Mays has been

is preaching in the Baptist church every

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.
Having, by request, to serve our brother
Willis in away that required our presence
in the vicinity of Oclawaba Bridge church
the first of February, we went a day or two
in advance, and attended the “Oclawaha
Union,” at Ijke Kerr church, Saturday be
fore the sth Sunday in January. We have
seldom bad a more severe or varied experi
ence than we bad in getting to Lake Kerr.
About 4’clock we were waked up to take our
exit from the steamer Tuskawviila, at Duris
soe’s landing. v How dark! The road led
off in thick timber, and was muddy. By
the light from the boat we could see now to
start, and did to find brother D’s. house, some
quarter of a mile away. We made hut little
progress ere the darkness above and the mud
beneath deterred us so much, that we con
cluded to wait and see if the whistle of the
steamer did not bring brother riuriso to our
relief, and took a seat, lonely, solitary, on a
palmetto log.
"Light in the darkness,” how cheering.
Perhaps it was a fire- fly. Ithas disappear
ed. No, there is the light again, and too
large for an insect. It moves, it gets bright
er, larger, some one is coming. Brother Du
riso, always good-looking, never looked so
well to us as that dark morning, as we sat
waiting for him by the rher. Up Io his
house, a short warm, and we lie down and
sleep some, getup and take bieakfast, and
with young brother Holly as escort, we leave
for Lake Kerr. Our way led first through a
stretch of fiat woods for some three miles,
then across Deep Creek—what a multitude
of deep creeks in Florida—when we enter
the scrub, the Etoniah Scrub—what a
multitude of scrubs in Florida—and it is
surely the scrub of the State. On and on
we travel, rise higher and higher, and when
on a high point, what a view we would have
of sand bills, covered with scrub, and here
and there a clump of spruce pine that had
not been killed by the fire. How we did
wish to get into the pine woods, because we
got so tired of jolting over the roots, be
cause we knew it would not be very far
then to the place of meeting. Several tiroes
thought we saw through, but were mistaken,
but at last we did, did get through, and as
we come near Lake Kerr, the scene presented
was grand.
M e were elevated so much that the lake
seemed away below, and we not only could
see the entire length of the lake, three or
four miles, but over the country several
miles, and could easily see the smoke of the
steamers on the Bt. Johns, about Norwalk.
About noon we enter the little rude, pio
neer house in which school is taught, and
the audience had assembled, and pastor Par-

ker, the only minister present, was about to
preach, but—well he did not.
Tbe Union organized by making Dr. Par
ker. Moderator, and Deacon Frier, Clerk, and
in the main, we were talkist. We spent the
night wit-, brother Dillard most pleasantly,
but awoke in the morning with some fever.
It was over work gave it to us. That county
is healthy. Elder Parker preached a good
sermon in tbe morning. Brother Frier read
a good essay in tbe evening, and we talked
at random some—scattered our sbot, receiv
ed some money for missions, and made sev
eral, we think, want Thk Index, and we
shall be deceived if some of them do not
take it when able.
Spent Sunday night With brother Wil
liamson, a reader of Thy Index, and had a
pleasant visit. During the night Dr. Parker
was taken very sick, might be from eating—
not tbe country, of course—but in the morn
ing he started home and we to brother Du
riso's, and we have heard not a word from
brother P. since. Ah me 1
An appointment was circulated for us to
preach at Ocklawaba Bridge, Tuesday, but
we were not able, and Dr. Willis, who had
come there to get a wife, kindly consented
to go and preach for us, and on the next day
we kindly married bim, for there were other
reasons besides his filling our appointment
for us, why we tried to do a good job for
him.
We are glad we went to Lake Kerr; glad
to know the brethren ; to see the work our
brother Parker las done there, and to learn
they are going to build a church house
We are glad brother Willis is married—he is
glad too—and got us to marry him. We
were glad, too, Saturday night following,
when we arrived safely at Orlando, the Court
House of Orange county. Services had been
held in tbe forenoon, and perhaps at night,
but we arrived too late for either. Soon
after we arrived at tbe hotel, Bishop Gove
and Deacon Blitch came around and con
ducted usto friend Hughey’s. A gentleman
throughout, is he, and a noble wife has he, a
Methodist. We love the Methodists, but we
love some better than others. We seldom
ever enjoy a trip more than to brother Hugh
ey's. but he did not go bear us preach, and
we love to preach to such clever, temperate,
true men.
Sunday we preached to a large and intel
gent audience, and took part with tbe breth
ren (by request, not by demand or right) in
the observance of tbe Lord’s supper, "in re
membrance of Jlim.” At night brother
Hare, who had accompanied brother Gove,
preached an excellent, close, impressive ser
mon. Monday night we preached again,
and tbe Holy Spirit seemed to move the peo
ple, and several asked for prayer.
The outlook for tbe Baptisis at Orlando is
decidedly encouraging. Brother Gove re
ceived quite a number into the church last
year, and others are moving in. The great
necessity there, first of all, is a house of wor
ship. At present, monthly services are held
in a school-house, a mere hull, and a poor
one too, but tbe brethren prefer using that
to the Court House. They have a good lot,
and say they will have a bouse time enough
for the Association—Wekiwa—to meet in,
October next, and we earnestly hope they
may. They need help, but if they do not
get it, the I-ord move them to go on like the
brethren did in Jacksonville about paying
their debt, if they can’t get help, do it them
selves. They did get some help in Jackson
ville, and we' think the biethren in Orlando
will get some, if they will ask for it, but not
much unless they do.
We take the liberty as State Missionary
and Secretary of the State Board, in tbe
name of our common Savior, to ask each
I one who reads this, if you cannot and will
| not send me something to aid the poor breth
ren—thev are literally poor—at Onando and
Bartow, to build them houses? These are
both county towns, in rising, thriving,
growing sections, and good houses now,
would put the cause beyond contingency,
and make the churches self-sustaining. We
I can think of more than one hundred breth-
I ren and sisters in Georgia and Alabama,
who, if we could go and ask them, would
■ readily give us from one to ten dollars.
! Will you send us something? We cannot
go to see you all. Will you ? Will you ?
Leaving Orlando, we stopped at Long
wood, twelve miles from Orlando, and about
the same from Sanford, and a mile from the
station lives brother Gove, with whom,
and his family, we spent the time pleasantly
till we left for Apopka. Concord church, of
which Elder Hayman is pastor, near Long
wood, needs a house of worship, and has de
cided to build nearer the depot, and a most
beautiful location they have selected. The
country around Longwood, and to the west
j ward in the direction ot Altamonte, is a
I good orange section, and quite a good farm
' ing section, too, and dotted over with lakes
. We were pleased to meet here Mr. Trawick,
an old Georgian, and his wife is a member
• of Dr. Warren’s church in Macon, and he
1 loves The Index so well he had an extra
; copy sent to him at Longwood. He is put
, ting out a large orange grove.
I Apopka. Well, the post office name is
! Apopka City. It, like Orlando, is in a beau
tiful section, but unlike Orlando, you can't
I buy anything there to get drunk on. Sever
' al preachers liveat Apopka, and one of them
is Willis M. Russell, and it made us leel like
Iwe were in Georgia to see him. He was
I raised in Macon, or near there, and bis fath
. er was a deacon in the Baptist church, and
■ his son preaches and practices sprinkling,
I calling it baptism I Alas! ala-! He is a
I Christian man, and we love him.
Georgia is roucbly represented at Apopka
I Citv —Lovell, Davis, the Vicks, Simmons,
and perhajis others. No house of worship
jin Apopka! All sects worship in a hall, up
stairs, privateproperty. The Methodists and
Baptists have secured lots, and the lumber
was being delivered at the place, to build a
Methodist house. The Baptists have a good
! start, oed we hope to chronicle the fact that
they are worshiping in their own house be
i fore the year is out. They will succeied.
They are sensible and enterprising, of whfch
we mention as proof, that they gave us near
ly $8 00 for missions, and a good list of new
subscribers, and they don’t allow pastor
Gove to work for them for nothing, and
they ought not, for he has done a good work
for them and the Master.
We must not indulge our inclinatious, for
we could say much more about Apopka.
We have not visited many places with more
pleasure than we did that. Without calling
names, will the dear brethren and sisters
who so kindly cared for us, be assured that
we kindly, tenderly remember them, and we
speak fi r our brother Hare too—though he
was so lame he could not hop around as
bares generally do—the girls out at “Lake
Shad” call him rabbit. Lake Shad is a
beautiful lake.
Bet bleb cm, not Harmony, not Ebenezer,
the piece where tbe Savior was born. We
will try to remember it now. Our next visit
was to Bethlehem church, Volusia comity,
near Saulsville, where we have been eo fre
quently, and always love to go. We preach
ed twice here. They gave us a good contri
bution for missions, and always do, and bad
one of those basket dinners on Sunday, and
two services. How we always enjoy them !
If other churches would try it sometimes,
they would be glad of it. It has a good
effect. It cultivates the social feeling, draws
people closer together, and they get better
acquainted with each other. Rev. R. W.
Lawton has agreed to become, at their re
quest, their pastor.
We always enjoy the singing there, and
we know of no other church as well sup
plied with hymn books as that, (note that)
and they are so well taken care of, and so
politely circulated at services. The young
ladies i enerally lead the singing. Note that,
young ladies! We noted improvement on
their house of worship since we bad been
there last. There are few readers of Thk
Index who get more out of It, and remember
it better than brother Carpenter—a life sub
scriber. We found a home again at brother
Sauls'.
A post office established last year, is an
improvement to that section, and it is well
kept, too. by our sister S. P. We hope
brother Sauls’ health has improved. We
left nim right feeble W. ,N. C.
THE END OF THE WORLD.
PROCTOR PREDICTS A FATAL COMETARY
COLLISION FOR J UL Y.
BUT THERE IS MORE PLEASURE IN CON
TEMPLATING THE NEW LIFE
ON THE EARTH
[From the Constitution.]
Proctor Is of the opinion that the comet of 1891
will destroy the world In July next. But we
fancy our people gbe themselves a deal of un
necessary concern about the five of tbe world
and not half enough about their own imminence
to discomfort and untimely death. The wise
man Is he who.foreseeth the evil and guards
himself against It.
During th,- past week articles have been pub
lished in The Conttitution showing what a fearful
mortality has been recorded the variedi forms of
kidney and liver diseases: extracts have been
given Showing how of late a uew and wonderful
ly simple remedy has won remarkable success In
curing hitherto sunposed Incurable diseases and
to-day The CouMuHon, impressed with these
things, makes room for a reporter's researches in
to tbe results wrought In Atlanta and vicinity by
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. The re
cord is a proud oue, and it is one the names In
which are familiar to all. Read the results of re
portorial research. 8. Chamberlain, the well
known grocer, corner Walton and Foundry
street, was Interviewed, and to a scries of ques
tions, he said:
"For a long time I have sufl'ered everything
from a painful and aggravated kidney trouble. I
have taken almost everything, but all to no pur
pose. 1 had no appetite, and could not sleep
and had to have assistance to get up. I coul I not
attend to my business, and thought I should nev
er be any better. I was recommended to try
Warner s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which I
did. 1 had taken only a part of a bottle when I
began to Improve. The effect was marvellous. 1
regained my appetite, and after using the reme
dy liberally am better than 11 have been in years.
1 have always been opposed to patent medicines
but whatever other proprlc ary medicine s may
be, I have implicit faith to Wai tier’s Sate Kidney
and Liver Cure, asl know it will do all that is
claimed tor it ” Captain Chamberlain is inex
presslbly happy over his escape from the thrall
dom ol a dreadful disease, and well be may be.
Hearingthat Judge F. M Brooks, of Columbus,
had been using Warner's Safe tfidoey and Liver
Cure, the reporter visited Columbus and fouud
him nt his chambers in the coutt house. Intro
ducing himself as one of the newspaper fraterni
ty, who had come to see him in regard to his re
ported recovery from a very dangerous and pain
ful disease, he was received most cordially, and
the J udge stating that he did not obj ret to being
interviewed, he was asked to give a statement of
his case
"Well, sir, 1 am getting along in jears, and I
know I am as well as most men of my sge, but I
have not been so until recently. Up to within a
lew months, and for many years, I have been a
great sufferer with kidney dlseaso, and within
the last two years it seems to have extended to
the liver and urinary organs. Why, sir, I have
been so sick that I have many times teen confined
to my bed, and have been to distressed fir want
of breath that I could not go up stairs!
"I have been, until recently, constantly under
the cure of our leading pnyslci tns, and have tak
en all tl e medicine that they prescribed for me.
I have expended hundreds of dollars for medical
attendance and medicine, hoping to get the de
sired relief, but it did seem as though I never
would be any be any better.
“It is needloss forme to tell you of all the many
disagreeable things that I have passed through
Those suffering from kidney disease know all
about it, and know bow painful and almost
loathsome many of Its features are.
"I became so disgusted and discouraged with
medicine that I made up my mind never to take
any more.
’■Well, sir, about ayearago my wife (blees her)
read of some remarkable cures that had been
made by the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, made
bv H. 11. Warner & Co ,of Rochester, New York.
Now she says: ‘J udge, I want you to get some of
that medicine.’ 1 told her it was nonsense. 1
did not believe in proprietary medicine, and 1
would not take it or any thing else, but she was
so persistent that I did get a bottle, and took It
according to direction, bur it did me no good
and I told my wife that it did not amount to
anything. But she,'woman-like, insisted on my
getting another bottle, and 1 did so. Well, I
soon began to feel better, and I began to think
that there was something in It besides advert!*-,
in.'. I continued its use and Improved daily. I
took six bottles of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liv
er Cure, and am to-day perfectly well and vigor
ous. It has done what all the debtors and their
medicine could not do, and I only r. gret that I
am unable to give belter expression to my grati
tude.
"It Is certainly a wonderful medicine, and, I
believe, Hie best ever known. Itseems to have
given me new fife, and although I have been en
tirely cured, I take it about once a day, for I be
lieve it a great tonic, and if Senator Matt Carpen
ter, Fernondo Wood and other prominent men
who have recently died from Bright’s disease had
taken Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, I
believe that they would now be alive and well.”
•’Judge,” said the reporter, “have you any ob
jections to tbe use of this Interview for the bene
fit of tho e suffering from kidney disease?”
"Not In the least, sir, but don’t forget tosay
that ii i- jnst as good in oases ot liver difficulty,
and all the organa connected with the kidneys
and liver. I wish every oue could know of it and
could be induced to use it. And lam only too
glad to have an opportunity to let the people
know through the medium of the press that
there has at last been discovered a medicine that
will cure kidney disease. I have already given
H H. Warner & Co. a testimonial and they are
nt liberty to publish it far and near, for I know
that I ain indebted to the Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure for my fife.”
The man of news left tho Judge in a happy
frame of mind, and next called on Dr. J. N. Gil
bert, an old practitioner and druggist of Colum
bus and asked him if he knew any thing about
the recovery of J udge Brooks.
“Why, yes; he had Bright’s disease and had
been treated by all the physicians, but they nev
er did him any good. I said to him, ‘Now, look
here, Judge, you have had done for you all that
can be done by the doctors Now you try War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I know that
Mr. Warner would not have any thing
to do with a thing that did not have merit.’
Well, the Judge took six bottles, and it has cured
'him. It heals all the medicine for kidney and
kidney and liver diseas«) I ever heard of I ree
commend it with the greatest freedom, believing
that it will do all that it claims to do. At all
events It has cuied a genuine case of Bright's dis
ease here in Columbus aud that is enough for
me. It Is the talk of the town."
The reporter conversed with a number of the
Judge’s friend’s in Columbus, and he has thous
ands of th-nt, end those who were aware of his
happy release, declared that "that Sale Cure is
the most wonderful medicine they ever beard
of."
In pursuing investigations in Atlanta, onr re
yorter called upon Maj. J. C. Whitner, the well
known and universally popular insurance mana
ger, of whose singularly wonderful cure he had
heard from adozen different people. Unfortu
nately the Major was out of town, but from his
gentlemanly son, Mr. J. A. Whitner, a very clear
and interesting statement of his father’s case was
secured. He said that during the war the Major
was prostrated in Richmond fora long time with
an acute attack of kidney disease. His physician
who was a very dear friend, exhausted every ex
pedient known to materia medica nt the time,
urged both by personal interest and professional
pride; but the most he could do was to keep him
from the grave. His naturally strong constitu
tion rallied somewhat, and he was able to return
home but his kidneys were never restored to
their normal action. "Why, ever since I can re
member I nave heard father complain of the
trouble ills kidneys caused him ! The attacks
would not be long, but they were frequent, and
lie suffered most excruciating agonies. Ido not
think he ever felt himself out oi the reach of the
disease. A little while ago he learned of War
ner's Safe Kidney aud l iver Cure, and what it
iiad done for persons affiicted as he was. and the
first I knew he was taking it regularly and from
thaiday to this he has been a new man. He has
no more Calculi in the bladder to render his life
a burden no more back ache, depression of spir
it; he is as lively and chipper as I am. He is the
mosteuthusiastic advocate of Warner’s Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure you ever saw. He keeps it
in the house constantly,carries It with him when
he travels, persuades liis friends to uve it, and
baa had the satisfaction of so. iug many of them
who, like himself, were liojieless victims of
Bright's and other kidney diseases and bladder
difficulties, restored to perfect health and happi
ness. It’s a wonderlul remedy and a blessing to
the world." ...
Judge Logan Bleckley, known all through
Georgia, ana popular wherever known, was call
ed upon,but had left the city for a fortnight. His
friends informed the reporter that he had used
the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure with the most
gratifying results.
Our reporter visited many citizens who had
been, as tlicy said, marvelously cured by this
remedy, but they were delicate about having
themselves reported by name, as they did not
wish their former ailments to be tbe talk of the
town.
These things are records of fact, and no surer
attestation of the universal use and apprecia
tion of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
could be desired. It Is the rerhedy for which
mate la medica has long wished, and the beat of
physicians in all parts of the land recognize Its
super-excellence by prescribing it for their pa
tients It Is the touchstone which turns all kid
ney and liver diseases tothe gold of robust health
and happiness.
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN ELEC
TRICITY.
This being the age in which discoveries more
or less astounding in the world of electricity are
being constantly made, it does not awaken any
great wonder when anew Invention for the utili
zation of that wonderful agent is announced.
Yet. the one we are about to mention—a discov
ery of application—we consider worthy to be
classed as one of the greatest, and destined to be
the most beneficial, in the line of electric won
ders.
A young man—an Ohio man, of course—a na
tive of Cincinnati. J W. Weakley, Jr., Esq , had
bis attention called, last year to Electro-Thera
peutics, and gave some time and study to the
matter. The wonderful cures effected by that
agenev was to him a matter of astonishment; but
the difficulty in Its use ever becoming popular
was airparent in the cost of the batteries, and dis
Acuity of application of the current. Here Is
where his Inventive faculty came to his aid. He
devised a Faradie battery, complete with coil,
C 11, and adjuster, placed upon the back of a brush
of metal bristle—hair bristle not conducting the
electrical current On the handle of the brush is
a metallic plate connecte I by wiies with the bat
tery, as are also the bristles. Taking the brush
by the handle, the battery being set In motion,
and applying the bristles to any part ot the body,
a current is at once formed—soothing or power
ful, as the patient pleases to withdraw or replace
the adjuster. That the curative value of elec
trl. ity is well attested, it Is only necessary to
refer to writers on that subject, such as Drs. Beard,
Rockwell and Hamilton, of N Y. City ; Ethridge,
of Chicago ; Garrutt, of Boston ; Birch and Tlb
btts, ot London. England ; and Duchenne and
Cyon. of Paris, France. These eminent practition
ers all cite, as among many others, as cured by
electricity, the following diseases: rheumatism,
paralysis, all spinal complaints., sciatica, neural
gia, epilepsy, tetanus, chorea, asthma, diseases
of women, diseases of the eye and ear (deafness
and loss of sight) and tumors. We have no space
to mention others. We can well close this notice
with an extract from an article by Dr. Charles W.
Duller,ln Lippincott's Magazine for March,on the
“Physical Uses of Pain." He says:''More than this,
pain can comne’ a person. In a state of otherwbe
fatal stupor, to acts which shall save his life. Tnis
is best illus'rated in poisoning with opium. The
effect of an overdose of this drug is to deaden the
sensibility, slowing the respiration and circula
lion until the body dies, as an engine would stop
if the engineer went to sleep and let his fire go
out, and his boiler get empty. The only thing
which, tn such cases, can save life is to dispel the
Increasing lethargy and stimulate the heart and
lungs to artilieial activity, until there is time for
the poison to be removed from the system. For
this purpose persons are usually kept walking
about and stirred up by a species of whipping, or
by dashing cold water upou them But a plan
much better than these, which add exhaustion
to stupor, is to trust to the power of exciting
pain, acute enough to cause deep Inspiration and
set the heart to beating fast. This can be best
done with a good electric battery. When the two
poles are applied to the skin, and a strong current
sent among the nerves there distributed, pain
will make itself heard in the chambers of the
dulled brain, thence will come out an involunta
ry impulse to vague efforts at crying, whlchdraws
the air deep into the lungs and sends the blood
coursing swiftly through the veins.”
The cures which this remedy will effect are le
gion, and an electrical instrument is an almost
complete panacea. We would advise all iuter
estei to correspond with J. W. Weakley, Jr., &
Co., of Cincinnati, 0., In whose hands have been
placed the manufacture and sale of the brush
above described.
