Mr. Stanton, of AVaycross, gave a nice talk to the congregation of the Methodist church of this place on Sunday last.

Mr. Stanton is much lov ed by the good people of AVaycross for his fidelity and faithfulness in the promotion of the Christian religion, being President of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion and Superintendent of the Methodist Sunday-school at that place. He is agent at tlie office of the S., F. & AV. railroad at that point with five assistants, and is ever faithful in the discharge of his duty. A Card. In reply to Air. E. B. Aliller’s editorial in the Times-Journal during his temporary charge as acting editor of said paper, stating at first that I am “beautiful and, accomplished,” then retracting this remark saying that I am neither, “not even accomplished enough to get out of a shower of rain,” I will state Air. Milkier in these two articles showed well how inconsistent an editor he was by jumping from one extreme to another. At first to justify my self I called on (lie editor in Charge and demanded a refraction of the first remark, which was thrown at me as an insult. The second ed¬ itorial made the insult more brutal and showed Air, Milner in his true colors. How successful an editor he is the readers of this paper well know. After having charge of the Times, deceased, lie had to give it up after a short period, and relin quish the claim of his initials to his creditors, who have charge of j same yet. His consistency shows up in his two last attacks upon me, besides he stated that I asked him to have the Alacon Evening News to copy his last remarks, He certainly made a great mis take there, either willingly or not knowingly. I leave it for the pa tient reaelers to deckle for thenv selves. Aly idea of Air. E. B. Mill ner is that he is as much suited to edit a newspaper as I am suited ( j r j ve an ox cart.

J. M. Bright left last week for Roanoke City, where lie will spend the balance of the summer with his brother. Judge McLauchliu was elected president of the Farmers’Alliance last week by a unanimous vote, lie is a worthy man in the right pale, and will no doubt do ! honor to both the order and liim- 1 self, AVe had quite a delightful ser Jast Sunday with excellent music by the highly esteemed organist, Airs. AY'. B. Folsom. Prof. AVindsor’s school opened lately with forty scholars. This is the seventh year lie has taught school at this place, and lias given entire satisfaction throughout. A preacher said in the pulpit here that he had known young men to “puff” their sweethearts until they would get above them, and I expect its the case with many eilitors and correspondents, although the compliment may be true.

The next meeting of the Dodge | County Sabbath Scliool Associa tion will be held at the Methodist church in Chauncey on the fourth Sunday in August,1889, commenc¬ ing at 10 o’clock a. m., after the devotional services. Reports from the different schools will be called for, after which the subject of the teacher before his or her class will be dis¬ cussed by Dr. Blanton, of Chaun¬ cey, and then others will be called on to assist in the discusion, and it is hoped there will be many ready to respond who have given such thoughts to the subject as will enable them to throw much needed light, upon this very ini portant theme. At 12 o’clock m.. the meeting will be adjourned until 2 o’clock p. m., when the convention will take up the discussion of the great need of a more thorough identity with the Sabbath-school interests on the part of parents' and how can if be secured? The first speaker will be Prof. R. .1. Stro zier, after which volunteers will be expected to carry on the dis¬ cission. Let all true and earnest workers in the Sunday-school come prepared to make an earn¬ est appeal to the parents to come to the rescue, and help in a Sab¬ bath-school revival. J. AV.

Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought «f ns a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night, and with one bottle lias been miraculously cured.
