Chronic CatarrlR.

c. w. Mellier, of 400 South Fourth
street, ST. Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DIR. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1870 Gay street, St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story of
his case. g took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended TO my throat, and bad cough
followed. / went to number of phy-
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year l have been practically
worthless. / could not ascend flight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating often coughed SO hard that l
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago l went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
a new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Saucrbaum, residing
at 1929 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DIR. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely we'll and his head greatly improved
| The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it tc
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing " PERUNA will cure any disease"
I. P. Dukehart, of Cumberland, Nd.
superintendent Is. 81 O. r. r. Co s Hotel
| conductor on the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail
road for twenty eight years, and previous
ly druggist, writes: DIR. S. B. HART
MAN & Co, Columbus, o. / have useC
but ore bottle of PERUNA between mysel
and son. He had diptheretic sore throat
and is now well. AS for myself, it has en-
tirely relieved the dullneSs in my heac
which has been oflong standing-the re
suit of chronic malaria. l never too
anything in my life that gave me sue
great satisfaction. My wife is now TAX

THE celebration of Georgia
Day" at the Exposition was an
event to be remembered as one
of the most interesting of
the celebrations. The visiting
military and citizens were
out in full force, and long before
the appointed hour for the exer-
cises to begin the grounds were
covered with enthusiastic multi

A. A. WILLETT, of Americus,
expects to soon recover a large
sum of money from the govern
ment. Mr.. WiIlet's great-grand-
father was prosperous merchant
during the war with England in
1912. He owned a number of mer-
chant ships, which were seized by
the government and converted into
vessels of war. No compensation
was given and none of the heirs
have ever received any. Recently
R. I. Merrick, Washington law
yer, wrote Mr.. Willet, saying that
complete record of the matter
was on file in the office of the Ma
Wy Department, and that the ships
were valued at 100000. With
interest Of 72 years, the amount
to 60 to the heirs will reach at
least $1,000,000. Mr.. Merrick
stated that the claim was good
one, and that the money would
certainly be recovered.

GEORGIA VS.. TEXAS.

Mr.. J. G.. Willis, of Ennis, Texas,
to his brother, Mr.. Gill Willis, of
this county, will be interesting to
our many readers. 1t goes to
prove that Georgia is the best
country in the United States.
"Times are about the same that
they have been all the fall. I am
making a living and manage to
keep out of debt l am going to
save all the money I can this year
and try to have enough to fix me
in business in Georgia. If do,
you may be sure that I am CON-
ing home. I may like Texas when
good times come, but / think not.
You know by the paper that l
sent you that land is high and the
whole country is fenced in with
barbed wire. There is no game
in this immediate vicinity. By
going ten or twenty miles you can
kill plenty of deer, turkeys, and
prairie chickens and sometimes a
bear.
Corn is no object in this coun-
try. 1t is always cheap. When
we have a good crop year you can
make more produce than you can
gather, when we don't it is a failure
sure enough, with the exception
of corn. 1t will make from the
spring rains, but it is worth moth
ing when made-15 to IS cents
per bushel.
The only way for a man to
make money in Texas, unless he
has money to begin with, is to go
further West and get every COW,
yearling and calf that he can and
keep them. They increase very
fast, and in ten or fifteen years
man can get rich from the two
or three COWS with which he start.
ed. Horses bring from ten to for
ty dollars per head. You will oc.
casionally find a man who asks
one hundred dollars for his horse
on account of quality. [ coult

Our neighbors of the Sumter
county Agricultural Society have
taken up the question of immi-
grafton. They are forming an
immigration society for the pur-
pose of collecting, publishing and
circulating information regarding
that county, with view of induc-
ing immigration. Houston coun-
ty has a similar organization, and
there is no reason why Terrell
should not have one. By little
effort our country, the garden spot
of Georgia, could be brought be-
fore the masses who are seeking a
more congenial cline. Our sister
counties of Sumter and Houston
know what they need.

To Prevent Smallpox.

Word has been received here bring
ing the information that the Lieu
tenant Governor of Manitoba, through
Acton Burrows, deputy minister, has
issued proclamation requiring the
vaccination of all persons entering the
province.
This order is to be strictly enforced
against those who enter the province
over the Manitoba railroad. 1t will,
therefore, be well for all those who
may not have vaccinated within Tea-
sonable time, to have vaccination per
formed before starting on theirjourney,
SO as to render their vaccination at the
boundary of the province unnecessary.
Health Officer Quinby, in speaking of
vaccination, said: s'Of all the lumber
men whom | requested to take active
steps looking toward the prevention
from the smallpox scourge in the woods,
by requiring all those hiring for up
river to present certificates of vaccin-
alton to the foreman, only one firm,
Just one, SO far as can learn, has acted
upon the advise. That is the John
Martin Lumber Company.

Grades Of New York Society Men.
New York Letter. !

lSeW Iofk 1eLbcI.I
New York Society men," of Whit may be
called the second or third grade, are often
very amusing characters. Roughly out
lined, the first grade of society men may be
described as those who have no other occu-
,eatia<sA Cds
particular SET in which they move. They
are, of course, wealthy unquestionably, OF
good family, and neither themselves, nor,
in most cases, their fathers have ever been
in any useful trade business, or any sort OF
n profession
The o are very mighty creatures indeed,
anil there are only score Of them, but they
are the envy of the whole society" world.
They live in New York from Doc. until
the lst Of April. Then they go to England
or the l. ,nion season. returning on the 1st
OF August for the Newport season, after
which they go to Lsnox until Oct !, on
which date they resort to their country
houses, returning to New York again on the
1st Of Decemb er This programme is car
ried out year after year.
The second grade of society men are
younger sons, bachelors Of all ages. and a
general run Of we'll bred, we'll shaved. and
good looking young fellows, who divide
their time between New York and Newport,
are fond of dancing, and go pretty muck
every where. Tho next grade hslow this Is
composed Of young men who usually work
for living, though there are occasional
drones VINO never go into 1the best society"
at all, and are admitted to general houses
because they are willing to dance-which
the very great swell seldom or never is
and serve to give life to an entertainment.

Watching the French Bathers.
Ieland,s Foreign Letter.

The most entertaining part of Frascati
life is watching the bathers. French men
AMI women do everything for show. They
are an exhibition or rehearsal unto them
selves when there are no other spectators,
but they are never OFT the boards. / by no
v-nsuus eundsnIns mrs s,ny more tnan Ten.
tirely praise an utter disregard of what
people think. Either carried out to perfec.
tion would make us behave ourselves How
ever, people who live like potatoes, entirely
by one another's eyes, can not fail to make
the most Of beach bathing. One can dress
dramatically for it, and they do dress-or
undress- with a vengeance There are
women, not few, who change their bath
ing costumes twice q day and exhaust ID D
nuity in devising toilets de mer.
The French who battle all swim because
1t looks well. 1t is amusing to see the men
wrapped in haiks with bournus, or some
other mantle, going down Smoking, OF
course) to the beach, and then being di-
vested OF their wraps as if they were the
most delicate kind OF $50, 900 horses about
to race. 1t is not less moving to see them
come out Of the water, and be enveloped
again, the delicate dearsi for fear Of catch
ing cold. A foot bath of hot water invaria-
bly, awaits them in their bath house. When
this was brought me / said preferred it
cold. @The English all do" remarked the
attendant.
1t is worth noting that, though multi
tudes in France battle before the world in
stylish dresses one very seldom sees men on
the beaches taking baths for nothing at any
early hour or in retired places. II one is at
an English bathing town and will go down
to the shore before o clock he may see
scores of poor young men and boys taking
their swims and enjoying them with all
their hearts. The reason, as ! said before,
lies in this: that Frenchman washes to
look clean and the Englishman to be clean
or to grow strong

W. E. Curtis. Queer Necklaces.
New York SUM-


Tiffany SS Co have received novel order
for necklace for the wife of Mr.. W. E
Curtis, of the South American commission.
With the order came q few dozen things
that were of a brown amber color, and
might be taken for new shade OF opals.
They were in shape and appearance like
petrified human eyes.
When the old Peruvians died and were
mummiied, centuries before Pizarro's time,
the men who did the enabalming had
trouble i'll making the face look natural be-
cause thA eyes disappeared. So they took
the eyes Of kind of fish with long Latin
name, and used them instaad -. Iha.-eayaa.
Of the fish were spherical, AMI the Peru
vians cut them across transversely. TIE
exposed fat section some what resem bles in
appearance the human eye. These planed
off eyes were dried and hardened, and were
put in the m.mmy's eye sockets Properly
placed they gave the mummy natural air,
and there was no necessity for closing the
eyelids Mummies are plenty in Peru and
aot pearly, but shine with a dull luster like
IN opal without fire. The material looks
ike fine amber.
The eyes were hard when Tiffany got them
AMI they had to be polished before they
were set. BY coincidence several Of the
mon at work on them were taken Ill, and it
was thought that their illness might be
owing to the eyes, One of the employees at
Tiffany's said that the eyes looked very
pretty and would last as long as they were
kept dry and hard The necklace is not vet
finished.
