A Bad Nasal Organ.
1 For over four years I have been'a great ans
I serer from a terrible form of Nasal Catarrh. I
was greatly annoyed with a constant roaring
' in my head and my hearing k became very
j much impaired.
The discharge from my nose was"profu»e and
very offensive, and my general health impair
ed. I tried most all prominent physicians,
but they did not cure me, and 1 used various
advertised preparations without benefit.
One day I chanced to read a remarkable ar
tie e written by a prominent citizen of Athens,
Ga., stating that he had been permanently
enroll by the use of eight bottles of B. B. B.
Botanic Blood Balm. Being skeptical on the
subject, I wrote to him on the subject and re
ceived a most encouraging answer to the ( fleet
that he had been cured long enough to bo
thoroughly satisfied that no return of the dis
ease would ensue.
1 then sent to the drug store of T. E. Smith
A Bro., and purchased B. B. 8., and to my
utter astonishment and satisfaction, the use of
ten bottles has restored my general health,
stopped the roaring sensation, entiiely healed
and cured the nasal catarrh and 1 ain proud
to recommend a blood remedy with such pow
erful curative properties.
I shall continue its use a little longer and
feel confident that 1 will be'entirely cured of
one of the most obstinate cases of nasiil.c.itarrh
in the country.
The business men of our town know of my
case. N. 0. Edwards.

of a Tescan.
For six years I have been afflicted with biood
poison, which continued to increase, while
physicians were attempting to cure me.
One bottle of B. B. B. has made me feel like
a new man, and 1 am now rapidly recovering.

Bad Blood at Brunswick, Ga.
I have tried B. B. B. and found it a great
thing for the blood. 1 also had Rheumatic
Pains ami the use of one bottle B. B. B. has
done the work, but 1 will finish up on the sec
ond bottle as a a clincher. May God spread it
to every one is my prayer. W. R. Eixir.

THE BEST MEETING IX YEARS.
Circumstances of a serious nature
prevented our attendance upon the
meeting until Sunday night. In
! response to duty, with a sad heart
however, in company with a friend we
left Harlem at 2:30 Sunday afternoon,
reaching the famous camping ground
after the shadows had lengthened to
a considerable degree and near the
hour for tea. Everything was favor
able for our trip, it w;w cloudy and
no dust of any consequence. On we
sped behind an elegant pait of hors
es, anxious to reach our destination.
Upon reaching the home of our
hospitable friend, Mr. Geo. E. Larkin,
i we were halted and invited to alight
and visit Lis scuppernong arbor, an
invitation which we very eagerly
• though graciously accepted. Upon
reaching this favored spot an arbor
fully fifty yards long groaning under
the weight of the luscious (favorite)
fruit, greeted our vission. We help
ed ourselves abundantly, bndo our
I friend adieu and continued our jour
| nev.
At the grounds wo mot friends by
the score and hearty hand shaking
and welcome words were the order
of the evening.
Wo found the people ripe for a
i glorious meeting. The attendance
i was not so great as in former years,
but the manifest good feeling and
workings mid wooing of the Spirit
. compensated for the detieoncy in
numbers. Accessions to the church
1 and bright conversions were numer
ous. The best order prevailed
thioughout. The preaching was ex
ceptionally good, and the nccommo
dations were unbounded. No one
could fail to have a good time at old
White Oak, spiritually or socially or
both. We always look forward
with profound’pleasure to the time
when these annual reunions will
occur.
The public tent was presided over
by that prince of good fellows, Chas.
E. Knox, of Thomson. Too much
cannot be said of him as a host. J
E. Wilson, of Thomson, and C. B.
A vary looked after the welfare of the
horses and, provided away for visitors
to go to and from the grounds.
Tuesday afternoon wo very re
luctantly said goodbye to friends and
loved ones and turned our face home

cars for Harlem, reaching hero in
good shape at 7:20 Long may camp
meeting live and prosper. Jit.

II MEMRI.IN
Mrs. Fannie M. Hatitikii. wife of
W. E. Hatcher and daughter of Rev.
R. A. Conner, of the North Georgia
Conference, was born in Hephzibah,
Richmond county, (In, Oct. 12, 1853.
Married Nov. 7, 1872, in Jefferson,
Jackson county, Ga., end passed from
the homo she loved so well, in Har
lem, (In., to the “bettor bind," Au
gust 27, 1887.
Truly, the shadows nro passing
through our hind. The “silent mes
senger" liiih entered one ot the bright
est, sweetest homes iu our midst,
laid his chilly band upon the loving
wife and devoted mother, whoso
presence made tho spot, so dear, and
borne her to a brighter home, made
ready by the blessed hands of Him
who sniil, “I go to prepare a place
for you." An “angel harp" has boon
given her, and her song, though hush
ed to us, is heard mingling with the
spotless robed throng around the
great, white throne.
When n child of not more than 10,
years she united with the church, and'
ever lived the life of n devoted follow
er of Um blessed Saviour; and only a
few weeks ago remarked to her
adopted mother, “I do no| remember
when I did not try to live a Chris
tian."
To the pome, sion of many personal
charms, agreeable and gentle man
ners, hli<> united the “ornament of a
meek and quiet spirit,” which with
her kind and obliging disposition,
chaste and pleasant conversation, won,
for her many faithful friends.
Ah a wife, the heart of her husband
did Hiifely hunt in her; boing’endow
ed with superior mental capacities,
he consulted her in all matters, and
ever found her counsel safe; truly
she was an helpmeet in Hie noblest
sense of the term. As a mother, ah!
who can tell of the deep, untiring de
votion to the four little boys who are
now motherless, the one paramount
object of her life soetned to be to
train them for such usefulness iu
this world ns would insure them an
entrance into a brighter and bettor
one. Verily, it may be said she lived,
for those she loved.
She was devoted to her large and.
interesting Sabbath School class and
met them .'iiithfully each Sabbath,
unless providentially hindered.
But her Saviour bad need of her in
a brighter world and after ton short
days of excruciating pain and burn
ing fever, t<s)k her to himself, leaving
behind bleeding hearts, crushed
hopes and a desolate, darkened home.
Yet, thanks be to our Father, 'tie
not a hopeless grief. We w*ep that
we will see her lovely face no more,
but the holy religion which she pro
fessed is the beacon light pointing to
that bright world which has gairedt
one angel more to join the innumer
able host iu singing the praises of
God and the Lnmb by the living wa
ll,™, and beneath the shade of the.
tree of life forever.
Tn the village cemetery, beside the
little cherub she laid away nearly six
years ago, we have laid her to rest,
until the reeuraectiou morn, when,
mortal shall put immortality and,
death be swallowed up in victory.”
