Gumming Circuit, North Geor
gia Conference.
I)r. Kennedy: Among the many gracious
revivals throughout the North Georgia
Con'ereoce, note has been more sigßal
than that on the Cr.mmiDg Circuit. A
general revival of the membership, a uni
versal determination lo i.ve in the dis
charge of Christian duty, ninety acces
sions to the Church, and an equal num
ber of conversions, are the fruits of this
revival; together with a general serious
ness upon the subject of religion among
those hitherto unconcerned. Tee Camp
meetiegat Pleasant Grove, five miles from
town, closed on Tuesday morning the sth
inst, to the regret of all who attend* and it.
The meeting commenced with the bless
ing of God, and increased in interest and
spiritual power at every hour’s service
until the close. Nothing occcrred to
interfere, in the slightest degive with its
foil and continued development of spirit
ual power. It was conducted on anew
plan. The mornirg s<*rvice consisted of
a prayer and experience meeting, which
were seasons of great rejoicing. This
meeting presented the true conditions of
a revival, to wit: The meeting of the
people “with one aceord in one place,”
and prayer. All the power of the social
element was developed, every body loved
every body elee, and each one desired a
blessing on all. The local preachers and
laymen did effective service, and among
them especially, Hon. G. N. Lester who
instructed and exhorted the people with
great zeal and power, and labored with
penitents with fidelity and succesp. Fifty
six united with the Church, and probably
a greater number were converted. The
fire was scattered from the camp meeting
to the neighboring churches, where the
revival still progret: es. This is especially
true in Camming, where there have been
conversions at every hour’s service. Upon
the whole, it is regarded as the most glori
ous comp-meeting ever held iu this section
of the State. It is the second one held
at the place.
Cnmming circuit is srrved the present
year, by brother L. P. Neese, a faithful
zealous ar and < flieient preacher and pastor—
abundant iu labors and full of faith and
the Holy Ghost. MrscELr.AKFors
Cleveland Circuit, North Georgia
Conference —Rov. E i Smith writes, Oc
tober 4th : We commenced a meeting at
Mossy Creek Church, September 15th,
and contiuuod it ten days, with seventy
accessions to the Church, besides the con
version of many already in the Church,
and the reclamation of a number who
were backslidden. At this meeting, I
think there were abont thirty five Sab
bath-school scholars converted and added
to the Chnr.-h. They will complete their
new church there soon. I then com
menced a meeting at Mt Pleasant, which
lasted six days, with fifteen ncces-ions to
the Church, Here, also, a great many
in the Church were converted, aud many
backsliders reclaimed. I next went to
Cleveland, continued ten days, aud closed
last night, with forty-one accessions to the
Church, This was one among the very
best meetings I ever attended, Cleve
land now scorns to be a different plaoo
from what it over was before. Several old
men were converted here, and are now
praying ia pnblic Abont ton or fifteen
children of the Sabbath-school were con
verted, and several of them joiued the
Church.
Fair Forest Circuit South Carolina
Conference —Rev. J. B. Wilton writes
October 6th: During the present year
there have been seven accessions to the
Church, and about the same number of
conversions. The Flat Ruck Camp meet
ing closed bust Monday. There were sev
eral conversions and one joined, while
the Church was somewhat refreshed, Revs.

Walker, J. F. Smith, It. C. O iver, I. J.
Newberry, W. S Martin, A. H. Lister,
M. A. MeKibbon, aud ilcEliiauey were
there and preached in the Spirit. On
Saturday, at 11 a. m., we raised iu cash
and subscription about §OO for Missions,
being nearly two thirds of the amount,
asked from this ohurge the present year.
We began in the woods lust winter, but
now have a good dwelling-house with all
necessary out-buildings, as a parsonage
for this circuit. Finances are a little
gloomy just now, but if the brethren fail
this year it will be the first time iu the
three years I have served them. I don’t
think they will.
Richland Fork Circuit, South Caro
lina Coferesce —Rev. O. D. Rjwell
writes, October 6th : I have just closed a
series of mootings at differeut churches
on my charge. God has been with us at
every one, iu converting power. At
Log ie’s, two were converted, and thirteen
made application for church membership.
At Mt. Prospect, niuo muds application,
and two professed saving faith. At
Brown’s chapel (the place where our third
Quarterly Conference was held) ten found
the “ pearl of great price,” and five ap
plied for membership. Our beloved pre
siding elder was with ns, and preached
the word with power and in demonstration
of the Spirit. Broth-r J. G. Sessions, a
local preacher from the Columbia circuit,
rendered ns valuable service at Prospect
and the Chapel. About forty have been
added to tho membership on this charge
to date.
Fayetteville Circuit, North Georgia
Conference. —“ Member” writes Oct. 7:
Oar beloved pastor, the Rev. George E.
Gardner, vlio has been faithfully and
quietly at work during all the time, has
held very interesting meetings at most of
the churches. He has received into the
Church about one hundred and twenty
five members, last year and this. One
neat, gem of a church, his been erected
at Fayetteville, and some repairs have
been done on other churches on the cir
cuit. It is seldom that any circuit has a
more faithful, patient, untiring pastor
than this one has had in brother Gardner.
He hjß been preparing his ground thor
oughly, and has sown good seed, which
will be gathered for years to come. This
work has nine appointments, and at least
five of them are in a very healthy condi
tion. Pray for us that the good work may
go on. _
Hampton Circuit, North Georgia
Conference. —ftev. J. D. Gray writes
Oct. 6: I have held three meetings with
gracious results. At a fourth, we were
interfered wi'h by iuelement weather.
At Hampton, the central point of the
work, the meeting was remarkable for its
influence upon the young men. Very
nearly all the young men and boys in the
town are now proftssors of religion and
members of the Church. Many of them
bid fair to be working members. Dr. Hay
good is to be with us on the fifth Sunday
in this month to dedicate our new church.
Please make this announcement as con
spicuous as possible.
Naooochee Circuit, North Georgia
Conference. —Rev. W. R. Branham, Jr.,
writes: As the result of the revival men
tioned in a letter to you incidentally some
time since,l report twenty seven additions
to the Church, and as many cr more con
versions. Brothers John L. BichardsoD i
Wilson,pastorof the Presbyterian Church,
and Methvin, rendered efficient service.
Brother Richerdson, (we all call him
Uncle Jcbnnie,) is in his 82d year, the
son of Jesse Richardson, a pioneer Meth
odist itinerant in North Carolina and in
this country. He attended every service
day and night, although he lives some
distance from the Church. He preached,
prayed, sung, exhorted, with power. He
has wielded, and wields, a mighty influ
ence for good in this country. Though
his form is bending under the weight of
years, and the frosts of eighty winters and
more have fallen upon his head, he is still
abundant in labors.
Springfield Circuit, South Georgia
Conference. —“ Observer,” writes : God
has blessed this work during tbe year now
closing. There have been forty-two ap
plications for church membership, four
teen of these from our camp meeting Ist
Sunday in October ; and nineteen infants
have been baptized into the Church dur
ing tbe year. Only one member has died.
Tho blessing on the work has not con
sisted entirely in additimis, but in a tid
dance from Church-registers of names
that ought to have been removed before.
Our camp meeting was a very precious one
to many hearts. Dr. Clark worked for ns
acceptably and successfully. The burden
of his heart and head is to lift the Church
into a higher plane of peace and power.
Brothers God. G. N. MacDonell, T. B.
Lanier, and T. I. Nease helped ns. Bro.
MacD. preached daily. Brother Lanier
left ns, on account of his ill health, on
Monday ; hope to hear of his restored
strength, that the Church may again have
him in active service.
Chalybeate Springs Circuit, North
Georgia Conference. —R tv. James Jones
writes October 1: God has graciously re
vived His work on this Circuit. There
have been between forty and fifty acces
sions to the Church since tha Ist of Au
gust, all of whom, I believe, have pro
fessed faith in Christ. The Church is
greatly revived.
Elberton Circuit, North Georgia
Conference —Rev. W. P. Rivers write
from Elberton, October 7 th: I have had
revival meetings at si v. nl churches with
gracious results— uni now in the midst of
cue at this place. Twenty mourners at the
altar last night—church revived—some
conversions—backsliders reclaimed, and
good results in prospect.
Newberry Station, South Carolina
Conference. —Of the meeting at this
place, Dr. G. Peirce says: I left tho good
work at Newberry, Monday Ootober 4‘h.
Up to Sunday night there had been over
sixty conversions, and twenty-four acces
sions to the Church. The meeting was to
be continued.

ono hundred members into the Chntch,
and that about one hundred and fifty
have professed conversion.

MACON, GEORGIA. OCTOBER 20, 1875.
A Sabbath at Eastman.
About six years ago, the writer in com
pany with Dr. Lovick Pierce, embarked
on a freight train for what was then known
as the wire grass region to attend the Mont
gomery camp-meetißg. We went as far
ns what is now called No. 13, Macon and
Brunswick Riilroad, or Eastman. But
then there was no tovvu there. Naught
but a steam saw-mill, and a few small rude
houses. In one of these we found orr
old friend, Gen. Ira R Foster, whom we
had known on tbe Canton Circuit in 1855.
He and Maj. C. R Armstrong had gone
down in the piney woods ahead of the rail
road, and put up this mill on the propos
ed railroad line. Such it was iu 18C9.
What now ? A flourishing town, of over
five hundred inhabitants,and among them
some of the most cultivated people inGeoi
gia. They have a splendid court house that
cost §14,000, built by Hon. W. A. Dodge
of New York,and.presented to the county
of Dodge—named for him. Mr. W. P.
Etsiman, after whom the town is named,
has a most beautiful residence, and hand
some grounds—one of tbe loveliest places
we have seen in the South. Then there
is thrift in all departments. Besides two
large saw mills and a planing mill, they
have a large turpentine distillery.
Our old time friend, Maj. Armstrong,
has a good house of entertainment, and
gave ns a cordial welcome and good fire
while we remained in Eastman. . The
Maj though not a member of any Church
uses all his influence for good morals and
religion. He is an efficient Sunday-school
man, and sees that all vaoant Sundays are
filled, if he can get a preacher. Although
there are three organized societies in
Eastman they have no house of worship,
except a small one built by Mr. Eastman
at his own expense; which is now used by
our friend and brother George Harrison,
a graduate of Emory College, who has a
a flourishing school. AH denominations
worship in the elegant court room, one of
the finest halls for speaking in Georgia.
We had the pleasure in the morniDg at
10 o’clock of speaking to one of the most
orderly aDd well arranged Sabbath-school#
we have seen anywhere. At eleven and
at night we preached to large and atten
tive congregations, and we hope not with
out, somo good result. We had to wind
up the night services by a collection,
which, strange to say, did not have
the usual effect. Usually a collection
causes ,l a great coolness,” but Eastman
stood it well. But why this collection ?
It was on this wise:
As we were about beginning the services
brother Waite handed ns a letter from
brother W. M. C. Conley, the pastor,who
was absent on some other part of his work,
asking ns to make a collection for his sup
port, as he had received but very little.
Although it is a hard thing for ns to do,
yet we did our befit. The people listened
to our appeal, and we got in cash and good
snbecriptions, an amount that made
brothcrConley happy,as we handed it over
to him on Monday. He bad spent the
Sabbath at Dubois. He has five appoint
ments, and reports his Circuit in a good
condition.
After spending tho Sabbath and a good
part of Monday in the pleasant town, we
bade farewell to cur kind host and hostess
and left with very happy impressions of
Eastman, and will be glad to go again,
when we can.
Eastman bids fair to be a place of con
siderable prominence at no distant day.
The infusion of a considerable amount of
Northern energy has done much for it,
and if Messrs. Eistman and Dodge carry
ont their plans, they will fi.il np that poor
barren countiy for milts with handsome
farm houses and a thriving population.
May they succeed, and all the good men
who come among us to help build up our
waste places
Oub Premium Organ. —We have receiv
ed many letters from parties asking us to
give them special promises in regard to
the premium organ. We cannot do it
brethren, you must do your best, and Ihe
Church that sends the greatest amount of
money in proportion to its membership
will get the organ.
A New Editor. —We return onr thanks
to brother Robt. F. Jones for a copy of
the Senoia Enterprise From its columns
we learn that brother Jones has ascended
the editorial tripod. We wish him great
good luck in his new position.
A Good Plage For Sjle. —We call the
attention of our readers to the advertise
ment in another place, of tha late resi
dence of Rjv. W. J. Parks of Oxford.
It is a most desirable place, and will be
in demand we have no doubt.
To our Agents—The Preachers.
A great many of our old subscribers whose
time had run ont and their papers were discon
tinued, are coming back. We are glad brethren
to see your names on our list again. This is
cheering proof that by a united and continued
effort all along tho line, wo eau regain before
Conference time the ground lost during a year
ot extraordinary financial pressure. Crops are
abundant—many arc now able to become sub
scribers. We cau have, if the brethren will
it, an addition of
Two Thousand Subscribers in the next
Three Months.
This is an average of less thnn live from
each charge. From some charges we expect
nothing, simply because their preachers will
not do this kind of work, or because the people
will not respond to tbe call upon them. A
preacher here and there will get hut one or
two subscribers; and, on the other band, a
preacher here and there will get ten, twenty,
thirty subscribers, or more. The two Thou
sand Subscribers can be obtained before
Conference time, in ones, twos, fives, tens,
twenties, thirties -Jet us have them. Sub
scriptions for a year may begin with any
number.
We ask for 500 new subscribers in each of the
patronizing Conferences.
Remember, brethren, the Southern Christian
Advocate is your authorized and official
organ, to wnich you have pledged your faith
ful support. Appeal publtcly and privately,
from church to church, and from house to
house; at tire regular services and in the midst
of revival meetings. We have learned
enough in onr travels lo know that hundreds
of brethren would take the paper, if only the
preachers would ask them to take it—ask
every one.
Enlist the official brethren to help in this
work—appoint seme one yotir special agent in
each society or appoint a committee of youug
men, or of young ladies.
Look at our premiums—Smith’s Bible Dic
tionary and Conybeare and Howson’s Life and
Epistles of St. Paul—one of these elegant $4.50
books with each subscription for ttie price of
the book alone.
Then our Organ Premiums. See advertise
ment
N B.—We are in great need of cash to meet
current expenses. We appeal to agents, and
all onr friends to remit money on hand for us,
without further delay.
Attention !
The Advocate must have more subscribers. It is
instrinsically worth all that is asked for it, and
ought not to tequire any other incentive to take
it, other than the obligation WusA every Methodist
in the land ought to feel it his duty to have a
yood religious paper in his family. But as in
these days premiums, consisting of chromos,
etc., are offered, we feel like offering to our
subscribers new and old the following lib ral
offer;
Smith’s Large Biiile Dictionary and the
Lite and Epistles ot St. Paul.
By a special arrangement with the publishers,
we are enabled to make the following advan
tageous offers to all our subsetibers:
For $4 50, and 50 cents extra to pay for pos
tsge. we will forward to any address, the South
ern Christian Advocate for one year, and a copy
of Smith’s Large Bible Dictionary, or Conybeare
and Howson’s Life and Epistles of St. Paul,
each being a large octavo volume of more than
1,000 pages, handsomely and profusely illustra
ted with maps and engravings.
For $7 00 we will furnish the Advocate for one
year, and both tlie above valuable wotks, pos
tage free.
To Ministers and Theological Students, we
will furnish the Advocate one year, and either of
these wot ks for $4.50, free of postage; or both
wotks and the Advocate free of postage for $0.50.
Tlie retail price of either of these books alone
is $4 50; so that by the offer above made our
subscribers ean secure both the Advocate and
either book at the price ot the book alone; and
by taking both books at $7.00, they can do bet
ter still, inasmuch as the retail price of both
books with postage amounts to $lO 00, and the
Advocate $2 50 more, making a total of $12.50
the value of which as above they can secure for
$7.00.
Every minister, every Sunday-school super
intendent end teacher, every student of the
Bible,and every Christian family, ought to have
a copy of the Bible Dictionary; and the Life and
Epistles of St. Paul should be in the library of
every clergyman and intelligent layman in the
country.
We shall be happy to furnish our friends with
both these works, as above announced, and we
trust that many will secure them oa the liberal
terms which we offer.
To all our present subscribers who have paid
for the paper one year or more in advance, we
will send either of the above boobs for $2 50
Tnis puts all gn an equality. This offer will stand
open for 60 days only.
A Handsome Organ.
To that Church or Congregation, sending in
the largest amount of money, for new subscriptions
or renewals by the first of November nezt y in pro
portion to the number of members in the Church,
we will trive a handsome 7 stop organ worth $lB5,
retail. This will give all a chance. Send the
money with the names. No names counted
otherwise. Yon can get renewals, or new sub
scriptions. Yon can get subscriptions for three
years at $0 00. No matter how you get them,
the Church that sends the largest amount in
proportion to the membership, gets the Organ.
Remember this closes November lsZ, 1875.
Now is the time to get a good organ for your
Church or family.
Parties competing for this valuable premium
must so state when they seud the money, so we
can enter and keep an account.

A Famous Medical Institution.
[From the Chicago Times.]
“ The name of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y., has become as familiar to the people all over
the country as ' household words.’ His wonderful
remedies, his pamphlets and books, and his largo
medical experience have brought him into promi
nence and given him a solid reputation. The
Times in the present issue, presents a whole-page
communication from Dr Pierce, and our readers
may gain from it some idea of the vast proportions
of his business, and the merits of his medicines.
He has at Buffalo a mammoth establishment, ap
propriately named “The World’s Dispensary,’’
where patients are treated and the remedies com
pounded. Here nearly a hundred persons are
employed iu the several depar ments, and a corps
of able and skilled physicians stand ready to alle
viate the sufferings of humanity by the most ap
proved methods. These physicians are in frequent,
consultation with Dr. Pierce, and their combined
bined experience is brought to bear on the success
ful treatment of obstinate cases. The Doctor is a
man of a large medical experience, and his exten
sive knowledge of materia medica has been ac
knowledged by presentations of degress from two
of the first Medical Colleges in the land.”
If you would patronize Medicines scientifically
prepared by a skilled Physician and Chemist, use
Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines. Golden Medical
Discovery is nutritious, tonic, alterative, and
blood cleansing, and an unequaled Cough Reme
dy ; Pleasant Purgative Pellets, scarcely larger
than mustard seeds, constitute an agreeable and
reliable physic; Favorite Prescription, a remedy
for debilitated females; Extract of Smart-Weed,
a magical remedy for Pain, Bowel Complaints,
and an unequaled Liniment for both human and
horse-flesh ; while his Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy
is known the world over as the greatest specific
for Catarrh and “ Cold in the Head ” ever given to
the public. They are sold by Druggists.
“Tlic Boys in Grey.”
We were wont to admire the boys who wore the
grey, though it was not for the groy alone, but for
the noble, chivalrous hearts that boat under it.
They commanded the admiration of the true and
the brave in every land. But how few admire a
fine head enveloped in grey hair and whiskers—
very few. We all love admiration, and nothing
in our appearance is more calculated to secure it
than pretty hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow
has robbed you of it. you can regain it by the use
of Dr. Tutt’s llair Dyk. Its popularity is so
great that it can be found on the shelves of every
druggist in the laud.

A BOOK' FOR THE" TIMES!
Tlie Disruption of ttie Methodist F.pis
copal Church, 1811-1846; Comprising a
Thirty Years’ History of tho Relations of the
Two Methodisms. By Edward il. Myers, I). D.,
with an introduction by T. O. Summers, D. D.
Macon, Ga.; J. W. Burke & Cos.
This book opens thus: “To al’ the members of
the two Methodisms of the United States of
America, who wish to know and to follow tlio
truth, this appeal to the future against the past—
to 1876 against 1848—is respectfully dedicated by
the author.’* It is pre-eminently a book for the
times, when everybody is seeking to solve the
problem of the future relations of the two Meth
odisms. The later generations of Methodists have
kere, iu compact form, so comple a history of the
“Disruption” that they may be thoroughly
“posted” as to all tho facts and consequences of
that transaction. Those who may find it necessa
ry to discuss these facts, publicly or privately, will
need to know what is here developed. Those who
may ever bo called on to vote respecting these re
lations. in either Annual or General Conference?,
must know these facts, before they ean vote in
telligently. # Those who oppose fraternization
shou.d read it, to learn how thoroughly grounded
upon principle is their opposition; while thoso
who favor it need all the more to read the book,
that they may learn how not only Christian prin
ciple, but common worldly integrity, may make a
permanent fraternization possible and easy. In
abort, the book commends itself to all who may
wish thoroughly accurate information respecting
one of the leading questions of tho day in the
Christian world; particularly, as it is written in
the interests of the real fraternization of the two
Methodisms.
The subjects discussed are the relations in 1844
ot the Methodist Episcopal Church to slavery ; tho
constitutional powers of tho General Conference,
and the relation of the Bishops to that body ; the
action of the General Conference of 1844—whereby
an inevitable separation of General Conference
jurisdiction was provided for; the subsequent ac
tion of the Southern Conferences: the legitimacy
of tho separation; this tho third division of Epis
copal Methodism; and the present relations of
the two Methodisms. It will be seen that this is
an exhaustive discussion of the entire subject;
and we may add. There is involved in these ques
tions much of interesting Methodist history bear
ing on other subjects.
Dr. Summers, in his introduction, while com
mending the “irenic spirit” of tho book, says:
’Perhaps no man living is better acquainted with
the matters discussed in this volume than its
author. He was for sevoral years editor of ono of
the leading journals of tho Church—ho bus been
an efficient member of several General Confer
ences—and has been chosen by the Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as a member
of the Commission * to adjust all existing difficul
ties ’ between the Northern and Southern branches
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His relation
to the subject, his great alilities, and peculiar
turn of mind, eminently qualify him lor this
work.”
IV/ tun ouujniii, Hi? KIHIII iUllMltW, sum jtvuuiuir
turn of mind, eminently qualify him for this
work.”
And again. Dr. Scmmkbs says: "We are author
ized to say that some of the Bishops of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South —we doubt not all
of them will concur with their colleagues—agree
with us in our estimate of this work, and the ex
pediency of its publication.”
