Canaar AF sociatiou met with the Jeten Ba ptist church of Edgefield county Se) )t. 16lh, with a goodly attend auc ;e. The churches composing the ass Delation put in their presence res; pectively, and with full and ac cur 'ate reports. The permanent or j gan libation for the ensuing year was . as follows : Rev. Isaac John ston,), a splendid presiding officer and j Christian gentleman, was eleci ?ed and properly installed as mod ierator ; Prof. A. W. Nicholson was ; elected clerk, and Deacon Cott< w, who has served as treasur er fe ?r twenty years, was unani mously re-elected for treasurer. Th e writer was deeply impressed with the marked improvement his peopl e have made and are still inakii lg. There was quite a num ber of ' ministers present, and I am proud to say that they were of no mean ministerial ability. Among the ma ny was Rev. W. H. Oliphant, Rev. Tho?. Key, Rev. G. W. Block er, ReT. R. B. Bracy, and. Rev. Wm. Sulliv&u. Rev. TV. H. Oliphant preached the doc trinal sermon. His subject had a ptirticular bearing upon the divisions)' which subsist in the re ligious -wrorld, and the grand prin ciples wliich ought to form a bond of uuion among all who acknowl edge the truth of the Christian revelatio ?. He showed very clearly the effects which would flow from the full o peration of the priuciple of love to God aud to man. The .tongue of the slanderer and the whispering' of the backbiter would no longer be heard in their mali cious attempts to sow the seeds of ! discord and contention among brethren. .Rev. Oliphant certainly handled the subject in question in a masterly way, as well as all the other ministers whom I had the pleasure of h eariug during the sit ting of the a ssociation. Mrs. Rebecca Johnston. Mrs. Millie Neal, Mrs. Mattie Ryans, and Mrs. Blocker constituted the committee thait served the table and, Mr. Editor, what they did by way of loading the table down with everything tha.t was nice, good, aud sweet was a'gracious plenty. Now, in my conclusion, may the God of high heaven bless the Jeter community at large, both when and colored, and grant that white they will have ffnished gathering their cott JU crops,, oh may they get a deal more thane, four cents per pound. R. S. PENN. - - NJLrrrTha paper."that gives pub licity to our religions proceedings certainly merits our patronage. A Caril.

One reason of this is thai the remedies prescribed by the docton oontain mercury and potash, which ul? timately intensify the disease by caus ing the Joints to swell and stiffen, croducing a severe aching of the bones B. S. S.ohae been curing Rheumatism for twenty years-even the worst CAB ea which seemed almost incurable. Capt. O.E.
