SENATORS AND LORDS.

A great many remedies for tempor-
airy relief have been devised from time
to time, such as sprays. snuffs, creams
and other local applications, but, as
rule the medical profession has little
or no enthusiasm in the treatment OF
catarrh. 1t is generally pronounced by
them to be incurable. 1t therefore
created a great sensation in medical
circles when DIR. Hartman announced
that he had devised a compound which
would cure catarrh permanently. The
remedy was named Pe-ru-na. and in
short time became known to thousands
OF catarrh sufferers north, south, east
and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Pe-ru-na is a radical cure for catarrh
began to pour in from all directions.
Thousands Of such letters are on file
in the office of the Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company. These letters
are not used for publication except by
the express wish of the writer. 4
pamphlet filled with such letters will
be sent to any address free. This book
should be read by all who doubt the
durability of catarrh.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectpally,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently vet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind OF insult to be asked
if they have weak lungs. All seem to
have solid faith in the soundness of
their own breathing machine. In cases
of trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold" "a touch Of bronchitis, y
or even "A spell of asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles of those near and dear
to us. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug delusiOn as to Our own health
that we only get rid OF when life itself
must pay the forfeit
Nobody can afford to think lightly
of lung troubles. Nobody can afford 20
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or ''let them wear out" or get
better in the spring" or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them of
the very earliest germs of disease, or
you are simply committing form Of
suicide. Either you must cure your

The report of the committee appointed to
consider the celebrating Of the closing
year of the ninteenth century with great
campaign on missionary and educational
lines by the Southern Bapists was SUBJ
mitted by Rev ]. C. Wingo of Carroll
ton, and discussed by DR.. f. II. Kerfoot
of the Theological Seminary. The sug-
gestion for year of thanksgiving at the
close of the century was made by the
Georgia Baptist convention. This was TAX
en- up by the Southern Baptist convention
and an association was formed for the
purpose of carrying on a grand campaign
upon literary, educational and missionary
lines for the year 1900. Ministers and au-
thors, educators and prominent members
of the church generally are being enrolled
for the work. The plan will be further
considered by the Southern Baptist con-

BAPTIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Resusitated and Rcorganixed by
state Convention

State Convention.
The Georgia Baptist Historical Society
was resuscitated and recognized at yes
terday's session, of the state convention.
This result was largely due to the efforts
of DR.. Lansing Burrows of Augusta, who
presided over the special meeting at which
the result was accomplished
A number of the members of the con-
venuon signifed their willingness to en-
ter into the organiza ton. Dr. Burrows
was unanimously elected president by &C.
clamatton. DR.. Burrows declared, how
ever, that he could not accept. and in
sisted upon the election of DR.. A A.
Marshall. a great-grandson of Daniel Mar
shall, the first apostle of the Baptist faith
in Georgia The appropriateness of this
selection was generally agreed TO, and Dr.
Marshall was elected president.
DR. II. r. Bernard, financial agent of
Mercer University, was elected secretary
and treasurer of the society.
Dr. Burrows surrendered the chair to
DR.. Marshall who then introduced DR.. 3.
f. Riley of the state university, who read
a paper upon the history of the early Bap-
lists in Georgia.
The struggles of the early Baptists, a
set of plain and often illterate men, who
TILED their own lands by day and thumbed
their well-worn Bibles by night, and who
crossed mountains and swan streams 10

present emnence of the Baptists in Geor-
gb is due to the iabors of these
bold and courageous men, he said.

POIygamists in Congress.
The closing session of the convention
was largely given to the reception of re-
ports from committees on the various di-
visions of the church work. The report of
the board a trustees of Mercer University
being still under consideration, Mr.. w. d.
Upshaw, student at the university, was
given an opportunity of speaking in behalf
of the institution.
Mr.. Upshaw said that at the next ses-
sion of the convention he had reason to
hope that not merely an hour would be
given to Mercer University, but that there
would be a Mercer day. Mr.. Upshaw
pleaded the cause of Mercer in his own
earnest way He was the happest man
in the convention, he said. When he
pledged himself to raise $1,000 for Mercer
University at the last convention he felt
some misgivings himself at the time. He
knew the brethren were incredulous, but
this only made him the more determined.
His two great hobbies, he said were
free Cuba and the endowment of the UNI
versity. Cuba is free, but the endowment
still remains unobtained. Mr.. UpshaW tod
how he raised the 81 600 and more for the
benefit of others who are engaged in the
same good work.
The report of the board Of trustees Of
Mercer University was adopted.
Unanswered YET was sung by Mr.. H.
A. Wofsohn.
The report Of the special committee
upon the work Of the executive commit
tee was made by Rev. S. Y. Jameson, d.
D., OF Atlanta. The committee has aided
tweuty-three young ministers to fit them
selves for higher fields Of usefulness, the
sum Of 81 400 having been expended for
this purpose. 1t is the opinion Of The
committee that this money should be a
gift and not a loan to the young minis
ters The committee is now short $500 IN
the students fund, which amount it is
desired to raise at once
The question of aid 10 the ministerial
students az Mercer was further discussed
by Secretary Ragsdale.
The report OF the committee on the
work of the Young Peoples Union was
read by Rev. John d. Jordan.
The report stated that there arc about
5000 unions in America, with about $4,000
members. In Georgia there are 20 unions

posed by DR.. Broughton of Atlanta, who
said that such action would be unwise.
DR. Nunnally spoke in favor of his res
