AN APRIL COLD!
Needs a Spring Remedy to Cleanse the
 Whole system.

Whole system.
 A cold is the starting point of more than half of the fatal illnesses from No- vember to May. A cold is the first chapter in the history of every case of consumption. A cold is the first stage of chronic catarrh, the most Ioathsome and stubborn of disea- ses. A cold Is the legitimate parent of a .arge family of diseases. such as bronchitis, plurisy pneumonia and quinsy. To neg ect cold is almost suicide. To fail to provide against this well-nigh inevitable evil is dangerous negligence. Pe-ru-na is a safeguard as a preventive, specific as cure for all cases of catarrh, acute and chronic, colds. coughs, consumption, etc.
 Every family should be provided with a copy of the Family Physician No. ?. a complete guide to prevent or cure catarrh and all other winter diseases; and also the latest edition of The Family Physician No. 3. which is devoted to spring medi- cines and bodily disorders peculiar to the spring of the year-a book that no one can afford to be without at this time of the year. Either sent free by The Peru ma Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio.

John Brandon Dead,

In 1879 the family moved to Forrest City and here the subject uf this sketch grew to manhood, and where his business acumen won for him the confidence and esteem of all Nh0 came in contact with him in any relation of life. Entering the mercan tile lield, he rapidly acquired d reputa tion for integrity and probity which any man might envy. Some two years ago hls health began to fail, and It vas soon apparent that consumption had fastened its relentless fangs upon his Vijals. About d year ago hp sought relief in the balmy climate of South ern Texas, selecting kerryille as his place of abode. intelligence of steady improvement greeted hls friends here, giving hope that his life might be spared for many years, but Che fatal malady had made such progress that nothing could be done to stay its course. He was accompanied to Texas by his bruther-in-law, J D. Baugh, and his sister, Mrs Baugh. who watched over him with the tenderest solicitude. On tue afternuon of last Friday, the 7th inst. he went driving with MT Baugh. RetQrnug home he took a seat on the Velauda, and here Mrs. Baugh soon noticed he was growing alarmingiy weak. A physician was summoned, but in all hour he peacefully breathed his last. The remains were brought to Forrest City. accompanied by Mrs. Baugh, and he was laid to rest by the side of his mother and sister. A large funeral procession congregated at the Baptlst church and followed to the grave, where the last sad rites were uttered, and all that was mortal or John i5randon was tenderiy hidden from loving eyes.
 The sympathles of the entire com nuuity go out to the afflicted family III their deep distress. May he rest In peace
