Enroute the splendid farm of Mr. was shown us and we could admire the prosperous that prevailed about the place. On every hand could be good crops in a healthy state, numbers of fat, mules and horses, and sheep cattle ranging everywhere, ing the place an air of iveness..

The Picnic a Success. The Sunday school picnic at Walden's Bridge, on the Och locknee, last Thursday was a success in every sense of the word and every individual who attended enjoyed the occasion, unless it were one suffering from a chronic ease of stricken conscience or “such like.” Some where in the neighborhood of two hundred people were assem bled upon the grounds and these sought various forms of amuse ment and pleasure during the day—some fishing, some wading in the clear, cool water, some strolling along the cool banks of the stream and others loung ing about in the shady places conversing upon this that and the other topic. (“That” topic having preference.) A bounte ous dinner was spread aQ one o’clock and for an hour the good substantial fare of the picnic, followed by the most tempting viands, was ^discussed and hand led in a way to gratify and ap pease the sympathies and needs of the inner man. Twas a fine spread indeed with plenty to spare and we are glad to say it did not have to go begging for someone to enjoy. All who at tended are glad they went. What more could be said. NO COMPETITION. The uniform success of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the relief and cure of bowel complaints both in children and adults has brought it into almost universal use, so that it is practically without a rival, and as every one who has used it knows, is without an equal.
