jIAT-O tl CEtEBRATIOI.
The dawn of tlie month of flowers
Was as bright and pleasant as heart
could wish. Early In the morning the
litt'e children were clapping their
hands with joy at the bright prospects
before them. At about 9 o’clock, ac
cording to previous afrangehieut, the
Sabbath School assembled at the Meth
odist Church, where they were formed
in procession—each class iu order—
then marched through town, thence
back to the Church', where they were
addressed by X. II. Hair and llev. Mr.
Kennedy; after which they repaired
to the public square where a sumptu
ous dinner was spread upon the ground
—to which all did full justice. Dinner
over, old and young joined in games
and plays, each vicing with the other,
as If to see which could give tlio most
pleasure or receive most joy. Alto
gether it was a pleasant sight. The
large crowd of little children, their
faces lightened with the hope of pleas
ure, led by their respective teachers;
the beautiful banner borne at the bead
oftiic column, tastefully arranged and
appropriately inscribed, was indeed
well worth looking upon. The dinner
was a complete success, and under the
supervision of the lady manager could
not fail to give satisfaction to every
one present. Time and space will not
allow a detailed description of all that'
happened. It is enough to say that
old and young were glad alike; the
joyous laugh of childhood called up a
smile to parents’ faces; voting men
and maidens caught inspiration from
the mirth of children, and pleasure
beamed in every face. When in the
evening all returned home we are sure
it was with a regret that the day ended
so soon, and a wish that May-day were
early here again.
This day is emphatically a jubilee
day lo the citizens of Des Are, old and
young; a day long to be remembered,
awakening reminiscences of other and
better days, when we were young and
tilings were not as they now are. May
its influences be felt for good in years
to come. We have heard many ora
tions on the first day of May, but the
one delivered by X'. 15. Hair to-day
surpassed in appropriateness ot lan
guage, manner of delivery, aptness of
tliong'lil, and pathos of feeling, any
thing we have ever hoard on any simi
lar occasion; wc ■doubt whether it
could be excelled. Also the remarks
made by llev. Mr. Kennedy were
chaste, appropriate, and well-timed,
■evincing an case and readiness of
thought and word highly befitting the
occasion. Wo think everybody went
away not only pleased, hut delighted
w ith the May-day celebration at Des
Are. May this occasion inspire the
children and teachers of the Sunday
Schools here with renewed resolution
and determination to higher and more
efficient efforts in their noble enter
prize. A SPECTATOll.

able in this manner to recommend to dR peo
I pie these remedies, as years of trial show
they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley’s
j .Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs
j only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His
: Bitters. (Hurley's,) are the best aud purest
! now offered for sale. For debility and loss of

Ague Tonic is harmless in its effect and never
fails to cure if used by directions. Try it.
Also his Worm Candy, (Hutley’s,) cannot be
equalled; any child will take it. So it is with
Dr. Seabrook’s Soothing Syrup, the best aud
safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc
cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle,

TESTIMONY OF MEDICAL MEN
Stony Point, White Co., Ark., May 23,’GO.
Dr. Johv -Dear Sir: Last February
I was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and I
got some of your Sarsaparilla ami Cedron
Bitters.
My son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has befen down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and
soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bail health for
several years—stomach ami liver affected—he
improved very much by the use of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement. I
think I could sell a great quantify of your
medicines this fall—especially of your Ced
ron Bitters and Sarsaparilla. Ship me via

BULL’S
WORM DESTROYER.
Yo my Fial'fed Slates and World
wide Readers.
I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which arc genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly olie of the most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what lie speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL’S WORM DESTROYER:
Villa Now, Walker County, Ga , \
June -b, 1866, /
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished-for effect. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. I atn free to confess that
I kuovr of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they arc un
certcaiu in the extreme. My object in writ
ing yon is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly fVom you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, l -hall use a great deal of
it. 1 am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to thu teachings and practice of n
great majority of the ref/ular line of M. D.'s,
but 1 see no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply beta: 'se we may be ignorant of
its combination. For mV part, 1 shall make
it a rule to use all and any means io alleviate
suffering humanity which l may be able to
entnmnud—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may hove learned
its effects first, and secured the sol© right to
secure that knowledge. However, l am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of wortiiless nostrums that flood
*.e country, that purport to care all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform tfie of your

Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, I860.
Du. John Bill—Dear Sir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the heal
ing and beneficial qualities it possesses, 1
send you the following statement of my case.
1 was wounded about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen
mouths. Being moved so often, my wounds
have Rot healed yet 1 have not sat up a
moment since 1 was wounded. I nrn shot
through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and 1 need something to assist na
ture. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla
than any thing else. I wish that that is gen
uine. Please express me half a dozen bottles,
and oblige
Cai*t. C. P. JOHNSON.

cian in Central New York, where he died,
leaviug the above <\ 1*. Johnson to my care.
At thirteen years of age he had a chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which 1 gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It Ci'kkd Him. 1 have
tor ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, lo
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has attended it. The cur-* effected in
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,
heuce his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but I believe he will recover.
Respect fully,
JENNIE JOHNSON.

'■ The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
safe, certain, speedy, and permanent cure ot
Ague aud Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in nu case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions arc strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in
every case more certaiu to cure, if its use is
continued in .smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially iu difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.

Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever A Affile, or < hills & Fever.
Every poison has its antidote—Every
disease has its cure.
It is a known fact ‘hat the powerful miner
al medicines so often administered in copious
doses in Intermittent and Billious Remittent
Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as
the fevers themselves, while their operation
is generally slow and upcertaln, and their ef
fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class,
h&xardious under any circumstances, cannot
be used witfi any approach to safety except
under the directions of a physician : and in
the regions where Fever and Ague, Billious
Fever, Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and their
kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
men arc sometimes few and far between, and
medical advice almost unobtainable. It is
obvious, therefore, that a medicine like the
Texan* Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer
tain in its action as a curative, and equally
to be relied on as a preventive, of these dan
gerous maladies—a preparation as harmless
to the constitution as water—must be of price
less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or
wherever else they may exist.
The common cause of all remittent and
intermittent fevers is the mephitic vapor or
miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or
from the surface of stagnant water ; and it is
usually when the torrid warmth of summer
has prostrated the system and rendered it
j incapable of contending energetically with
the disease that the attack conics ou, July,
August, September and October arc the
months during with nil billious complaints (
are most common, and most violent. The
organs immediately affected by Fever and
j Ague, and Imertrutents anrt Remittents, are
j the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid
, neys. Upon eaelt and all of these organs, the
1 Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula- :
j ting and controlling the flow of bile, preven
ting or relieving that enlargment of the spleen
| known as the Ague Cake, strengthening the !
1 digestive powers and removing those severe j
: pains of the back which arise from the tor- j
pidity or inflamation of the Kidneys. As its j
name indicates, it gives a healthy tone to the |
Viscere, which perform the secretion, circula- '
tion, and excretion. Instead of inflicting a |
shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines j
necessarily do, it invigorates and assists
nature and seconds with wonderful efforts
which she makes to throw off the disease. It
is not a mere palliative that checks or modi
fies the symptoms for a brief period blit a
radical remedy that reaches and removes the
cause of the disorder.
Of these facts the inventors of the Texas
To*fa Syrup have ha l innumerable proofs
and they are prepared to establish them by
the highest testimony; Medical men of j
acknowledged eminence prescribe it in their j
private practice, and it is rapidly superceding
all other preparations of its class throughout
the west Southwest and South. No family
residing in any section subject to the visita- j
lions of Ague and Fever, or any billions com- !
plaint, should be without it, if they desire to j
escape the penalties of protracted sickness
and its concomitant dangers, agonies and
expenses.
it is riol atone for ils cur&five properties
that the Tonic Syrup is to be prized. As a :
preventive it is invaluable. The virus of
disease often lies hidden in the system for
months, and even years, weakening the vital
forces, and slowly, yet surely rapping the
foundations of health and life.
The symptoms of this process appear in
sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feeblejj
ness of tht unc6ff*ci6ns victim. As soon as
iHow or jvnv oihor t'o:'0«lka<lowing» of wivknowu
are observed, such as pains in the small of
i the back, in the left side, or between the
shoulders, the Tonic Syrup should be given :
and it is guaranteed that a course of this
remedy will, in all cases, remove every germ
of billious disease from the system, restore
the natural color to the complexion, remove
all local pain, and renew the bodily vigor of
the individual. It is especially recommended
to the unacclimatcd settler, as a sure safe
guard against Ague and Fever.

Mansfield & Hksbek—
Gentlemen: Having
long suffered from chills and fever, and after
having tried without effect, quinine, Ayer’s
Ague (’tire and’other chill medicines, l was
induced to take a bottle of your Texas Tonic
Syrup, and after taking a few doses was en
tirely relieved and have not had a chill since.
1 take pleasure in recommending it as a safe
and pleasant as well as speedy cure for thg
above named disease. li. B. TOMSON,
No 4ff South Court Square.
Memphis, June 1, 1807.
This is to state that L was afflicted with Fe
ver and Ague of the most inveterate charac
ter for about two years. I tried many reme
dies, ,ncluding large quantities of quinine,
etc., without avail. 1 was finally induced to
try the Texas Tonic Syrup—the result was
that after taking the first dose, l had ‘‘chills j
no more,” and am now rapidly recovering my 1
| health and strength. 1 have sent two dozen 1
I of this valuable ague cure to my plant!.'ion at
Milliken's Bend. Every planter should keep
'it on hand. * 11. U. AUSTIN,

Mkssiis. Mansfield & Huiuke —
Gents: For seven
years past l have been a sufferer from (’hills
and Fevers, frequently to such an extent as
to keep me confined to bed for weeks. Rem
edy after remedy was tried without my find
ing relief, until l despaired regaining my
health. With many doubts 1 consentod to
try your Ttxus Tonic Syrup, and to my grati
fication experienced immediate relief. For
precaution sake l took the entire bottle, and
now six months have elapsed f have not had
a single chill and my strength has fully re
turned. 1 consider the Texas Tonic Syrup to
be eminently the first and best Fever and
Ague Remedy of the age.

Mansfield & IIigbmi—
Gentlemen : After suf
fering more or less from the ague for dve
years, and finding no permanent relief from
Physician’s prescriptions or the popular rem
' odfes of the1 day, I was induced bv a friend to
try your new, (though already widely known,)
I ‘ sure cure” for fever and ague, the Texas
i Tonic Syrup, and aiu happy to state that it
worked to a charm. I have had but one chill
since 1 commenced using it (aud that was
caused by my own imprudence the third day
i after.) although nearly three months have
i elapsed, and I unhesitatingly rccommoud it
to all who suffer from any form of ague as a
safe, sure, and pleasant remedy for the same.
Respectfully Yours.
