There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the iuflamation can betaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by catanh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition ot the mucus surfaces. tt We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deaf ness, (caused bv catarrh,) that we cannot cure bv taking Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Yours truly, D. A. FUTRELL. Fa rilling ton Circuit. Dear Bro.

Reid We are in the midst of a most wonderful meeting at Smith Grove. There were IS professions at our service last night. To date we have had 27 professions, and 23 have given thei- nams as candidate's for church membership. The house has been packed almost eveiy night, and the whole country seems to be stirred. We expect much larger results ere the meeting closes.

In all our meetings so far we have had about 50 professions and 35 accessions to the church. The Lord is blessing us greatly, Yours truly, II. M. Blair. Kowaii Circuit.

Dear Bro. Keid: I have just closed a meeting at Liberty. We had a good revival in the church; some of the members were greatly strengthened and built up in the faith. 7 conversions and 4 accessions, and we believe much good seed was sown in the hearts of many. We have some members at this church that are faithful and true to God and the church.

Mr. Joseph Eagle, one of the prominent members, has never missed a single Quarterly Conference for 13 years. This is a fact worth recording and worthy of imitation by all other stewards and members of the Quarterly Conference. We are moving on well on Rowan circuit. Yours in B.

A. York. Mocksviile Circuit. Dear Bro. Reid We have held two very good meetings on this circuit, and are now in the midst of another.

At Liberty we had 46 conversions, with about 30 accessions. The mem bership greatly revived. Weekiv prayer meeting started. And we are expecting many other gracious results from this meeting. At Centre we had about 30 profes sions and 20 additions to the church.

The most of these converts were adults, and several of them were old persons. The collections are coming up well. I expect to make a good report at Conference. Bro. Fisher, of the Salisbury circuit, was with me two days at Centre and rendered efficient service.

Yours truly, W. L. Grissom. Mocksviile Circuit. Dear Bro.

Reid The protracted meeting for the current year, at Concord, on the Mocksviile circuit, was held during the past week. The church was revived ana twenty-five souls professed faith in Christ. The pastor, Bro. Grissom, is an earnest, faithful worker. He preaches well, and by a modest, pious demeanor he has won a strong hold upon the confidence of the people the whole people.

As a consequence, he has been very successful at his fall meetings. At one point, there were more than fifty conversions and more than thirty accessions. May the Lord continue to bless him and his labors among us. Yours truly, J. D.

Hodges. Hatteras Circuit. Dear Bro. Reid: We have just closed one among the best meetings at Trent Church on this circuit that has been held for several years. The meeting held about 0 days.

There was a general awakening by the Holy Spirit throughout the community as well as the church. There were about 20 clear conversions, and 13 were added to the church, many luke-warm members were revived and those in the faith edified. At this church we have class-meetings, also we have a young men's prayer meeting. This prayer meeting is proving a success. Many of the heads of families belonging to Trent Whitaker's Mission.

Dear Bro. Reid: We desire to say: The Lord hath visited his people within the bounds of Whitaker's Mission. Our meeting at Whita- ker's Mill, commencing the first week in Sept. was continued for 13 point great need of revival, and when the Spirit came upon them there was rejoicing indeed. We cannot describe the contrast between the then, and now.

A holy atmosphere seems to cover the entire community. All (lo? to God. I was assisted in the meeting by Rev. Mr. liolloway, of the Methodist Protestant Church, also by Rev.

Z. T. Harrison, P. of Halifax circuit, who preached two most excelh-nt sermons for us. Many thanks to these brethren.

On the loth we transferred from the above named place to Whitaker's, a town of some five or six hundred inhabitants, on the W. W. R. R. where we have continued up tofdate, (Sept.

19th,) with great beneht to the church. Our people are waiting in the use of the proper means tor turther, and greater display of the Divine Spirit. Pray for us. Hoping to report encouragmiy later. Yours truly, G.

W. Callaiiann. Iiiickhorn Cireii t. Dear Bro. Reid: We closed our last meeting at Holly Springs, Sunday evening.

Bro. Allred was with me and preached 4 stirring sermons for us. My people will not soon forget Bro. Allred. This was a remarkable meeting.

On Thursday evening we had 17 conversions and more people shouting at one time than I ever saw before. We dismissed the congregation at a later hour than usual, but they would not leave the house. 4'lt was good to be there." After awhile they began to leave, and some of Capt. Siler's students, who w7ere filled to running over, went to the Academy, and the old building was fired with the Holy Ghost at once. andCapt.

Siler, and every student in his school (they have 00) except 2 were shouting God's praises at once. The citizens of the village, together with others who had not gone home, came in, and 1 don't expect to see any thing better until we meet up yonder. I think there were from 150 to 200 shouting at one time. They stayed here and praised God until they were told that they must go home and get ready for night service. After we had left tli3 Academy, I could priva them hear them smi shouting in residences, i think I heard shouting at at one One night during the meeting, a number of lay brethren met a sinner on the street and began talking to him and praying with him, and he was powerfully converted there on the street, at 12 o'clock at night.

About the time he was converted a backslider came along and they "went for him, "and he was then and there reclaimed. The visible result of the meeting was 32 conversions, and 25 accession to our church several of whom were grown men, and some of them heads of families. I can give the number of backsliders reclaimed, but I believe every backslider who attended the meeting was reclaimed and every sinner who attended the meeting was converted except two or three. We have held meetings at all our churches, and at every church the brethren seem to have determined to do more for Christ and his kingdom in the future. I can now report the spiritual condition of this charge good with very few exceptions.

The visible results on the circuit are about 90 conversions, and 61 accessions with some others to join. Yours truly, E. Pope. Chalk Level, N. C.
