The Rf.vival at the Baptist Church.—
The meeting at the Baptist Church, in this
place, continues with unabated interest.
Fifteen more candidates were added to the
church during last week, fourteen of whom
were immersed in Pettit’s creek on Sunday
evening last, one being too unwell to sub
mit to the ordinance of baptism. The ad
ministration of the ordinance was witness
ed by a very large concourse of people.
This makes thirty, in all, who have been re
ceived into the church, by experience and
baptism, during the progress of the meet
ing. The Rev. R. B. Ilcaden, though young
in years, is making a very efficient and ac
ceptable pastor. But few young ministers
could or would have stood up, without fal
tering, as lie has, under such, weighty re
sponsibility and arduous duties as were
imposed by a protracted revival meeting of
a month’s incessant, duration.

Without a single penny,
Or comfort in their door !

Against your cottage door ;
And your cheerful fire is glowing,

Pulaski county capers down to
the front and claims the premium on
a gourd-vine which produced fifty
three large gourds, besides any num
ber of smaller ones. To add to our
confusion, the Dispatch says the
vine is thirty-five feet in diameter.
We had no idea that Woods would
attempt to impose upon us in this
manner. We give him one more op
portunity to retract. Is the gourd
vino thirty-five feet in length, or
thirty-five feet in diameter ? If
Woods still sticks to diameter, be
can just name his time and style of
fight. Woods is a friend of ours,
but we wouldn’t allow even our first
cousin to stick a gourd-vine thirty
five feet in diam . v ,er, under our

A Blondin Mule.— Day before

There is no.present intention of de

of this projected improvement:
The survey is progressing satis
factorily, and will be completed by
the middle of December next; at
which time we hope the bill now be
fore Congress, granting aid to this
great national work, will be called up
and promptly passed.
We also learn that Hon. W. P„
Price, our efficient Representative
from the Vlth Congressional District
—and who has been most zealous
and active in this matter—is very
sanguine of the ultimate success of
the bill. He expresses confidence,
we learn, that the national character
of the proposed work will insure for

There is an old proverb which says,

They inquire what a medicine has done for

The victim of lever and ague, liver com
plaint, constipation, nervous prostration, or

tive has effected in cases similar to his own.
In the published testimony to its merits he
will find a volume of proofs of its sanitary
properties, which it is impossible for his
common sense to resist. He tries it, and
the effect it produces on his system adds
another to the host of witnesses in its favor
Thus, its reputation, founded on faets, not
assertions, continually grows and spreads.
Charlatans and impostors, some of them
mere local tricksters, and others who take
a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust
into the hands and down the throats of in
valids, their haphazard concoctions, as sub
stitutes for the tonic which for so many
years has been a medicinal staple through
out the United States, Spanish America,
Canada, and the West Indies, but only suc
ceed to a very limited extent, In this rea
soning age, the people, having ascertained
what is really deserving of their confidence!
decline “running after strange gods.” "
