The Methodist Episcopal Church.
Jacksonville Ct., Texas Con.—Thomas
Wilson. Presiding elder Molloy made his
quarterly round, held a nine days’ meeting
which was attended with good results. The
Church was quickened, nine hopefully con
verted. Ten united with our Church, making
our present membership thirty-eight. We are
still waiting upon the Lord for fresh displays
of saving power. The Southern Methodists in
these parts are friendly toward us, frequently
attending our meetings.
Yazoo Dist., Mississippi Con— J.W. Dunn.
—We are at work on the Yazoo district and the
Lord is blessing us both spiritually and finan
cially. In Yazoo City we have had over one
hundred accessions and a goodly number at
other points. We have two churches on the
way that I hope in a short time to give you a
more definite account of, and we have also a
parsonage on foot at Greenwood, adding one
to the seven reported on our work, and hope
that this will not be the only one erected this
year for we are needing them badly.
Brkckenridge St. , Louisville, Lexington
Con.— M. W. Taylor. Quarterly meeting
just closed; we had a heavenly time—elder W.
S. Muir, presided. Eighty-six communed;
many were forward to be prayed for; several
united with us. The Lord was in the midst,
and with a full measure of the Spirit we felt
fully able to possess the land. We protraeted
the meeting at Jeffersonville, Ind., with good
success. Recently the brethren and sisters
went to the parsonage in my absence and
placed therein a handsome bedstead and mat
tress, half a dozen chairs, wash-stand, center
table, cooking stove and utensils, besides plas
tering, whitewashing, papering and setting
things in order generally. Above this they
gave a benevolent contribution of lifteen dol
lars on Sabbath. We have a flourishing Sun
day-school, and all on the advance.
Tazewell Circuit, Houston Con.—Emma
Rama —The second quarterly meeting for this
work was held at Rock Castle. Brother Elbert
Clark was present and made a good report
He has received seventy on probation, forty in
full connection, baptized fourteen adults and
seven infants this last quarter; he is at his post
all the time, and in tine spirits, doing a good
work,and we hope to give a good report of our
selves at the end of this Conference year, both
spiritually and financially. Brother Patty our
beloved presiding elder was at the meeting and
preached with his usual power. After the sermon
the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was ad
ministered ; many communed and felt that the
Lord was present. I hope the good people on
Tazewell circuit will not forget brother Clark
and his family; he is working hard, and must be
supported by those with whom he is laboring.
West Tenn. Dist., Tenn. Con.—H. W.Key.
—We are growingevery way—spiritually, tem
porally and financially, in influence and in mem
bership. We have built two new churches
since Conference, and bought one, and bought
a lot to build another one. The most hopeful
feature for success is the interest that our mem
bers take in the children and in education gen
erally. We are keeping our old schools that
we organized a year ago going and have es
tablished new schools. We have had during
this year eleven day schools and six hundred
scholars; an increase over last year of four
hundred and fifty. I wrote some time since
that I brought three young ladies down here
with me when I took charge of this district;
they have made a mark for good both for our
people and for our church. They have a great
influence for good among both white and col
ored ; and our enemies as well as our friends
are beginning to say that the Methodist Episco
pal Church has a mission here in the South to
fulfill, and helping to educate the colored peo
ple is a part of her mission. I am very sorry
that these young ladies are so poorly supported.
They have taught months since they have been
in this district, and got barely enough to pay
their board. They are good and faithful Sun
day-school workers and have all done a good
work in our Sunday-schools and for the mission
ary cause. lam afraid they will be compelled
to abandon their schools on account of being
so poorly supported; this would be a great loss
to our work. Our third Ministerial Meeting
was held at Mason’s, in our new church that we
have bought recently. It cost $850; we have
made the first payment of $283.85. Dr. Kynett
sent me a draft for $100; God bless that good
man. We will be able by Conference to report
a large Increase in churches and about seventy
five per cent, financially over last year. Some
person or persons have burned another church
of ours on the Malone circuit, in Desota county,
Mississippi.

Holden W. Nichols was born in Anson
county, North Carolina, August 3, 1807. He
came to Tennessee, with his parents, at the
age of six years. Professed religion when
quite young, at McKendree Camp-Ground, and
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church the same
year. Brother Nichols was a class-leader in
the Methodist Episcopal Church for twenty
years. He departed this life March 14,1872, in
Huston comity, Tenn., aged sixty-four years,
seven months, and nine days. I preached his
funeral sermon in the Arlington Court-house,
Huston county, the 23d of March. Subject:
“ These bones are the whole house of Israel.”
An immense number were in attendance to
hear what might be said in memory of the good
and great. Thus a good man has passed away
in the triumph of a living faith.
Lexington , Tenn. E. N. Williams.
Os hemorrhage of tiie lungs, on Friday,
April 12, 1872, Rev. H. Frank Miller.
Brother Miller was a local preacher, attached
to Janes Chapel quarterly Conference at Aus
tin, and had resided in this city about fifteen
months. Formerly he had charge of a Church
or Churches in Colorado, but his health failing
sought a more congenial clime. He was em
ployed as book-keeper and treasurer of our
State Lunatic Asylum, and gave universal sat
isfaction to all. To say that brother Miller was
a good man would be language too weak to
express bis worth. 011 the morning of his
death lie rode into the city for the purpose of
purchasing a horse for the Asylum. While lie
was trying the animal he was taken with bleed
ing, dismounted and in seven minutes breathed
his last. He “walked with God and was not
for God took him.” The Church has lost a
most excellent member, and his surviving ab
sent friends mourn his departure. Brother
Miller was aged twenty-seven years,and though
a comparative stranger here, the day following
his interment his friends raised $l5O toward a
monument for him in token of their affection.
G. W. Honey.
Sister Ansie Ann Stewart, daughter of
Rev. Francis and Drucilla Winn, and wife of
brother P. G. Stewart, all of Douglass county,
Georgia, was born January 23,1823,and crossed
over the river on Sabbath, February 18, 1872.
Sister Ann joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church in her 15th year, at a cauip-ground
eight miles south-west of Powder Springs, (A.
Dorman, preacher in charge) and lived for
thirty-six years a faithful and consistent mem*
ber, not only in name, but in deed and in truth.
All who knew her love to tell how good she
was. She was afflicted for many years, and
for four of her last months on earth was mostly
confined to her room, but she bore it all with
astonishing faith and fortitude, often shouting
the praises of God till strength would fail, ex
horting all who came to see her, to meet her
in heaven. She told the husband (who feels
that she was the instrument under God in bring
ing him to Christ, and lived to-see him preach
ing the Gospel) to be faithful in pointing sin
ners to the Lamb of God, and Drucilla, their
only daughter, to join the Church, live a Chris
tian, and they would meet again; that she
would be permitted to be near them and see
them, till they met around the Father’s throne
in Heaven. Brother A. Dorman will preach
her funeral sermon on the third Sabbath in
June, at Wesley Chapel. N. Trimble.

tastes. Eachlittle Purgative Pellet represents,
in a most concentrated form, as much eat hai l ic power
as is embodied in auyof the largo pills found lor sale
in the drug shops. From their wonderful cathartic
power, in proportion to their size, people who have
not tried them aro apt to suppose that they are harsh
or drastic in effect, but such is not at all tlie case, the
different active medicinal principles of which they are
composed being so harmonized and modified, one by
the others, as to produce a most scare h 1 tin and
thorough) yet gently and kindly opera*
ting cathartic.
SSOO Reward is hereby offered by tha proprie
tor of these Pellets, to any chemist who, upon an
alysis, will find in them any Calomel or other forms
of mercury or any other mineral poison.
Being entirely vegetable, no particnlnr
cabe is required while using them. They operato
without disturbance to the constitution, diet, or oc
cupation. For Jaundice, Headache, Con

Gloomy Forebodings, take Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Purgative Pellets. In explana
tion of the remedial power of my Purgative Pellets
over so great a variety of diseases, I wish to say that
their action upon the animal econo
my is universal, not a gland or tissuo
escaping their sanative impress. Age
does not impair them; their sugar-coating at and being
enclosed in glass bottles presorve their virtues unim
paired for any length of time, in any climate, so that
they are always fresh and reliable, which is not the
case with the pills found in the drugstores, put up in
cheap wood or paste-board boxes. Recollect that for
all diseases where a Laxative, Alterative or
Purgative is indientod, these little Pellets will
give the most perfect satisfaction to all who use them
They are sold by all cutcrprisiug
Druggists at i!5 cents a bottle.
Do not allow any druggist to induce you to take
anything elso that be may say is just as good as my
Pellets because he makes a larger profit on that which
he recommends. If your druggist cannot supply
them, enclose 25 cents and receive them by return
mail from

This Saw possesses several great advantages over the an
cient V tooth, which has hitherto been relied on, especially
in cross-cut saws. The strength, Btlffuess, and durability of
these teeth, and their capacity for deep gumming, are so ob
vious that we will only name four other points of comparison,
namely, speed, ease, simplicity, and perfect clearance.
All are aware that an ordinary handsaw cuts only
one way ; that is, the front cut is more effective than tho hack
or Retreating cut. These teeth, with their opposite cutting
faces, if CUTTING IN line, are equivalent to the front cut both
ways of a handsaw, in distinction to the two back cuts of the
old V saw. Hence, speed is inevitable.
Ease of Cutting.— lt is easier to plow a groove in timber than
to crush one out. The application of this principle is very
perfect, all the teeth being of even length, double pointed,
cut with outside vertical aud projecting edgos, aud clear sim
ultaneously with the same.
Simplicity. —This is obvious, all the points being cutters
like huudsaw teeth, namoly, the lame length. No hooks or
thick, raking teeth to be shortened; only ono mill file is
needed to keep them in ordor, aud they are as easy for tiie
unskilled laborer to sharpen as the old-fashioned saw.
Perfect Clearance. Continuously cutting and clearing,
these opposite “cutting faces” not only cut, hut clear, liy lift
ing the fiber above the projecting blades, like a plow, which
is the most perfect clearing implement.

November 4,1871. j
E. M. Boynton, 78 Beekman-stroet, New York—Sib: 'I bis
certifies that I saw the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw, workod by
hand, by two men, November 2d, at this Fair. Said men and
saw cut off a souud Bx 9 inch chestnut log in 3% seconds; aud
16 cuts of the same, continuously, in 2 minutes and 18 seconds,
or at a rate of a cord of wood in less than 9 minutes. lam
satisfied that for all purposes of cross-cutting large and small
timber, your cross-cuts aud wood saws have no rival in speed,
in ease, aud in simplicity.
I believe their universal use would save a vast amount of
money and time, and lighten the toil of millions of men.
J. W. BLAKE,
Superintendent and Engin er American Institute Fair.
N. B. These extreme tests are quoted merely to prove what
should be obvious—that direct cutting is better than the old
V friction process used by all other saws. The cutting of all
saws depends much on the proper set, sharpening, and skill
of tlie operator. I can not furnish brains, and skill is at
tained only by practice. But no saw manufacturer dares to
question the superiority of my latest improved saws, or to
publicly test the mattor.
Siuce the enlargement of dust space one year ago, no com
plaint of clogging has been received. The latest improved
Lightning Saws will give universal satisfaction, on large or
small timber, soft or hard wood; but soft wood requires
wider set. Saws are set and sharpened for hard wood. Try
them as sent out, but may be made thinner for soft wood. Ilold
level in using, and do not rock; Bhove slightly. Do not cou
found this 1869 pattern with my old 1867 pattern Clearing-
Tooth Saws, now out of market. All clearing-teeth are
complicated, as they reqniro to be kept shorter than cutters
and frequent re-adjustment. After much experience, I can
not recommend them. Each one ot the new Lightning
Cross-Cuts has ray $560 challenge, and full directions for set
ting and sharpening any saw, engraved on it. Honest haid
ware men will procure the genuine for their customers, even
if they are overstocked with inferior goods; but where they
do not keep them, Agents are wanted. A six-foot Cross-Cut
and Buck Saw sent on receipt of $6. Express will cost from
40 cents to $1 to places this side of the Mississippi River by
special contract.
N. B. Millions of Axes are used for cutting wood; a Light
ning Cross-Cut Saw, either for one man or for two, will ent
five times as fast as au ax. Why not try them ?
See that the name and warrant are on each saw.
