SPRING TIME
The Best Season OF the Year to Treat
Chronic Batarrh.

Notwithstanding that a'great num-
Der Of people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by taking Peru-na
during the past cold season. yet it can
not be denied that the cold, wet,
stormy winter retarded many cures,
and in some cases actually prevented
a cure. But, after unusual delay,
spring time has come at last, and now
is the time for all natarrh sufferers to
begin systematic course Of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficult
ty in the way OF treating chronic ca
tarrh is that the patient is 50 liable to
catch cold during the treatment, and
thus delay cure. This liability at
this season Of the year is, in a great
measure, removed, and no one should
neglect the opportunity to begin treat
ment. Send for free catarrh book.
AS spring medicine Pe-ru.na is a
never.failing remedy. 1t cleanses the

CUTTING SCRAPE.
A DisorderIy Melee on Clark's Creek
Saturday Night.

The Boucher logging camps on
Clark's creek, some five or six miles
from Embreville, were the scene of a
disorderly disturbance Saturday night
Of last week, in which, one BIanken-
ship, at the hands OF man named
Edwards, was seriously. il not fatally,
stabbed. The unfortunate, is said to
have been knitted in a number Of
places, the principal wound being on
the left side of the chest, between the
fifth and sixth ribs. This wound is a
deep one, the stab reaching to the
lungs, and consequently places the
victim in a very critical condition.
The cause Of the trouble is not known,
but it is no doubt the consequence of a
too free indulgence in the Carolina
moenshine.
