Farmers Can't See 1t,

Il is a pretty hard thing for Gov.
Stone to tell the Farmers of Mississip-
from s28.55 lin gold per acre in 1872,
lin gold) in 1895, to wait on the next
generation to correct "the blunder of
1873" We do not believe that they
will wait, but that they will insist that
patience has ceased to be virtue; that
further delay is impossible; that some
relief must be given them at once, and
the United States shall take hand in
settling this matter, which concerns it
SO deeply, instead of waiting for the
other nations to get ready.-Times-

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is a fertile
source of blood impurities. That tired
feeling, which is the natural result of
the depressing effect of warm weather
Immediately after the invigorating cold
Of winter, quickly disappears when Pc
ru-na is taken. Thousands are daily
testifying to its priceless benefit. Gen.
eral lassitude, dull, heavy sensations,
continual tired feelings, with irregular
appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep.
Pe-ru-na meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculiarities. Pe-ru.na
invieorates the system, rejuvenates
the feelings, restores the normal appe-
tite and procures regular sleep.
This tired-out feeling is especially
true of the housewife in spring time
used up, tagged out, jaded and weak.
There are thousands of them every
where. A few bottles of Pe-ru-na
would do them untold benefit. AS a
tonic and nerve invigorator it has no
equal. 1t builds up the nerves, it gives
strength to the circulation and at once
restores the appetite and digestion. No
feeble woman should be without Peru

time, or that she stranded on Sable

at last been abandoned and the schooner

FINE OPENING FOR ENTERPRISE.

WASHINGTON, March 20, 1S95.-Consul
Matthews, at Para, Brazil, in report
to the Department of State, says that
there are splendid opportunities for
American enterprise in that part of the
world. The city not only commands
the commerce of Northern Brazil, but
through the tributaries of the Amazon
is reaching into Peru and Bolivia, and
is securing large portion of the trade
east Of the Anden.
Americans, he says, have monopoly
of the trade in -four, lumber and kero-
sene, and they should be supplying all
the cotton goods instead eff only avery
small portion.
small ice factory now operates in
Para and sells its product for 332 cents
per pound. A large factory that could
supply ice at one cent per pound would
pay abundantly A steam laundry
and a good hotel are also much needed.
He says if American merchants would es-
tablish wholesale distributing houses
here with an American banking house,
SO that drafts on New York could be
made as reasonable as they can be had
in London, and granting the same terms
as are given by other countries, a result
most favorable to our country and peo-
pie would ensue.
