There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years, was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. }.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the on
ly constitutional cure Oh the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Whitwonths Opening.

A formal opening of Whitworth col
lege was held on yesterday morning,
attended by quite a number of citizens
and friends of this great institution
Between seventy-five and eighty pupils
were present, all glowing with life and
ambition and satisfaction at their de
lightful surroundings and the re-assur-
ing smiles of the president they are
sure to admire. A short address was
made by Rev. T. Massao, the Japanese
minister, who contrasted the life of
woman in our enlightened country to
that of those in his own land, degraded
by Buddhism and Confucianism. Fol
lowing this Rev. III. M. Moore spoke on
behalf of the church under whose fos-
tering care the college is conducted,
and b. T. Hobbs on behalf of the
citizens of Brookhaven, whose cordial
cooperation he earnestly bespoke.
Pres. Chambers in a few well-chosen
and appropriate remarks then spoke
of his determination to place the col
lege on the highest round of literary
fame and announced that after '96 the
degree of Mistress of English Litera-
ture would be abolished and only the
A. B. degree be bestow upon gradu-
ateS.
Pres. Chambers has had herculean
task in getting things in order for the
opening of the college and few men
could have accomplished as much.
Everything is beautifully clean and
fresh and newly furnished, and on next
Friday afternoon all friends of the col
lege are invited to inspect the college
property from pantry to parlor." On
Friday night the first teachers recital
will be held and on Saturday night the
Alumnae will entertain their friends.
of which notice is given elsewhere.
Now let our citizens, one and all, raj
ly to the moral as we'll as financial sup
port of the college that has given
Brookhaven so much of it's fair fame
and help the cause of education TO go
marching on, with Pres. Chambers in
his rightful position as leader.
