STEVENS’ POTTERY.
Bro. George Smith Visits Matilda
Chapel.
Wesleyan Advocate.
Some fifty years ago a sturdy young
Englishman, with a strong body and
clear head, and a good honest heart,
left England for America. Ho settled
in Greene county and joined the
Methodist Church, and wedded a
Methodist girl whose maiden name
was Matilda Stephens. They were
not kinspeople, though they bore the
same name. After some years he
came to the pine barrens along the
line of the railway from Gordon to
Milledgeville, and built a large saw
mill. There was no Church and no
Methodists, and but little civilization
in the back pine woods; but there
were some good people near by, and
so lie and they built a neat country
Church. It was namet* in honor of
the girl he had won—Matilda Chapel.
The great pines and the bright,
young oaks, ere all about it, and it is
a real pleasure to the eye to see this
woodland Church smiling in its love
liness in this great forest. To plant a
Church in the woods is not to have
a preacher, but Uncle Henry was
equal to that, and he not only had
one, but had a good one. Matilda
Chapel lias had as fine preaching as
could be supplied by Macon and the
Wesleyan, for my old friend, Dr. C.
AV. Smith, has preached there every
month for near a score of years,
an.l the circuit preacher lias made
liis monthly visit, too.
The enterprising Englishman found
on liis place an inexhaustible mine of
w lmt the country people called chalk,
lie knew it; it was Kaolin. He was
not a potter, but he knew something
of the English potteries aud the vaP
ue of fire brick and so he began his
potteries. He was a man of great en
terprise, and his boys oaught his
spirit. Machinery was bought, new
potteries were built new kilns made
ready, and then the good man died,
but the Stevens boys remained. They
took his place in mill, and pottery
and Church, and the good Matilda
found successors in daughters like-
minded. If I had time it would be an
interesting story to tell how- the
work lias grown, till now Stevens’
sewer-pipe, and well-curbing, and
fire brick, are found in all the land.”
A Pleasant Surprise.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.

What True Merit Will Do.
The unprecedented sale of Booschee’s
German Syrup within a few years, has us-
tonlshed the world. It Is without doubt
the safest and boat remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and effectual cure ol
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. It acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions giv
en by Physicians, as it docs not dry up a
Cough and leave the disease still in the
.system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts af
fected and leaves them In a purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept In the house for
use when the diseases make their appear
ance, will save doctors’ bills and a long
spell of serious illness. A trial will con
vince you of these tacts. It is positively
sold by nil druggists aud general dealers
in the land. Price 75 cte., large bottles.
