Any one can get this insurance for 25 cents, that being the price of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of bowel complaint before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned One or two doses of this reinedj will cure any ordinary case.

Church Dedication. Sunday was a glorious day for Stendal* It had l»een arranged to dedicate the Union church which had just been completed, and many people from far and near were there to participate in the exercises. A correspondent sends us the following account : „ When the morning dawned clear and bright, but warm, the people began coming in on foot, on horseback and in all kinds of vehicles mention&ble till when a* half past eight o'clock the new bell began to ring, there were in our httle village live hundred j>eople, by ten o’clock one thousand and bynoon fifteen hundred. Brother Just is Miller and the five trustees were all busy trying to make the people comfortable, while J.W. Tyre and R. E, Mitchell were discharging their whole duties as ushers .aud sextons

and the Bethel ami Pi kcvfile singing classes were making the new church ring with choice music. It seemed as *11 .nature was smiling upon the little village. We had several prominent ministers of different_ denominations with us. At half past nine o’clock Brother Youngblood of Winslow, took the stand and preached a short introductory sermon suitable to the occasion. \ He acquitted himself well. Then at half past tea Brother Hale of Winslow, took the stand and preached the dedicatory sermon,’^ which was a masterly effort. After which we repaired to the grovel and found plenty of good things to eat and to spare. Then the congregation was notified that it was necessary to raise the sum of $215 to clear the new church of debt. The work of- contributions commenced, and By three o’clock the clerk reported to Bros. Hale and id filer that the sum of $216 was paid and subscribed., Then the dedication exercises took place, and Brother Hale turned over the keys of the church to the trustees with instructions. It was a day long to be remembered by the citizens of Stendai and vicinity; We now wish to ret urn our heartfelt thanks to those that have helped so liberally in the building of our neat little church, of whic^ we are proud. And further we wish to tender our heartfelt thanks to Brother Miller, who has taken so much interest in this enterprise, and hope he may be blessed both spiritually and tenqmraly.
