HALL’S MILLS.
I,ast Saturday was the day set apart
for onr annual picnic. About 8 o clock
they began to gather, and by 10 o clock
there wan a large crowd on the grounds.
Vi- that time the music began, Prof. Wal
drin in charge.
When the train arrived we were disap
pointed to know that Hon. John IV.
Akin, who was to speak on that occa
sion, "didn’t come. The superintendent
then asked Rev. J. M. White to speak for
us. who made a splendid speech on the
progress and importance of Sunday
school work. Then came the dinner,
which was immense. The table was 180
f>*ci long, and was loaded as long as a
piece would stick on.
The crowd was very large for the place—
supposed to be 500 persons. All seemed
to enjoy themselves, except one young
Indy, when she first got there; that was
before she caught a beau. She remarked,
• if the Lord would forgive her for com
ing that time she would never come to
this place any more.” But later in the
duv, when a young man was with her,
she said: “I am so glad I came; the peo
ple are so kind to strangers.”
Mr. Grice was along and took a photo
of a portion of the crowd.
We are glad to say that Kingston and
Adairsville were both well represented.
We are always glad to see such occasions
come, so we can put ourselves outside of
a splendid dinner. The day was too hot
t > group together, so they scattered
about in couples, some talking upon the
topics of the day, and others talked, no
doubt, upon a milder subject and gave
pitch other looks that expressed more
love than a common man could talk in a
lifp time.
The entertainment given by Misses
Lizzie and Kate Harris last week is said
bv E. R. Morton to be the best thing of
the season, and he says he enjoyed him
self beyond limit. Sorry I could not be
there. Bob Bail.

he revival that lias been progressing
• Cassville M. E. church for ten days
\\ dose to-night (Tuesday). Theear
u it labors of the pastor and all "the
working Christians of the community
have been signally blessed. The results
of meetings may be summed up thusly:
The church has been warmed up; many
of the Christians have determined on a
higher walk with God; there have been a
large number of bright conversions; back
sliders have been reclaimed; a good num
ber will join the church; and lastly, the
love of all denominations for the pastor,
Bro. White, has been greatly increased.
Though he was always beloved by the
people, he now has a place in their affec
tions which he has never had before. He
generally preaches love, mercy, long suf
fering and kindness, but to those who
can’t be reached in that way he preaches
hell and damnation.
The good that has been accomplished
seems to be of a permanent nature.

Reducing 1 the Surplus.
The disposition of the Surplus in the U
S. Treasury engages the attention of our
Statesmen, but a more vital question has
our attention, and that is the leduetion of
the Surplus Consumptives. Since the
discovery and introduction of Dr. Kintr’s
New Discovery for Consumption, there
has been a marked decrease in the mor
tality from this dreaded disease, and it is
possible to still further reduce the number
of Consumptives. How? By keeping
constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King s
New Discovery and using according to
directions, upon ihe appearance of the
first symptoms, such as a Couch, a Cola,
a Sore Throat, a Chest, or Side Pain.
Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed

SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHIG ELSE.
Plover Bottom. Sullivan County, Tenn.,
June 18, 1887—Blood Balm Cos„ Atlanta.
Ga: Sir:—l have been thinking of writing
to you for some time to let you know of
the wonderful cure your B. B. B has affect
ed on myself and daughter. She, a girl o!
16 years, was taken with a very sore leg
below the knee. I called on the very best
doctors that the country could afford, and
they tended on her for four years to no
purpose. Her leg trot worse every year
I used about 30 bottles of other medicine
to no purpose. The doctors said the only
remedy left amputation. That we all was
opposed to I was in Knoxville the Btli of
January, 1886, and while buying a bill
of drugs called for a good blood purifier,
and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Cos.
recommended the B. B. B. I purchased
one half dozen bottles, and to my utter
surprise after using three or four bottles
my girl’s leg was entirely healed. I also
had a very ugly running sore on the calf
of my leg and one bottle cured it, after
haying tried all other remedies I wish
you much sucess, and I do hope that all
suffering humanity may hear and believe
in the only true blood purifier. I have
tried three or four other purifiers, but the
B. B B is the only one that ever did me
or mine any good. You can use my
name if you wish lam well known in
♦ his and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.

would be crippled for li e. They said
I would lose my lower limb. I could not
stand in my class to recite my lessons,
eleven bottles of your Balm cured me
sound and well You can use my name
as you see fit. In my case, there were
knots on my shinbones as large as a hen s
