According to dispatch TO the Dem.

State Kinney has declined to issue a
certificate allowing the Sewer Pine
Company to do business in Ohio until
the Attorney General informs him that
the company is not organized In viola.

Secretary Of State suspects that the
sewer pipe trust may be trust, and
he is very anxious to prevent corpor.

Akron can't help wondering who is

OF State. For OF the more than 800
trusts that exist in America, nine.
tenths Of them operate IN Ohio. and up

Truly it was an evening of pleasure
and the students and invited friends
enjoyed themselves immensely.

the spacious lawn presented pretty
sight.
The interior was beautifully decora-
ted and was filled with groups OF
lovely maids attended by gallant
Youths trying their fortunes and solv-
ing difficult problems, tor which this
mysterious night is noted.
Refreshments were served consisting
of candies, fruits and other dalntles-
music in abundance, and all told, the
happy throng were sorry when tne
time of parting came, and as they
thanked Misses Lena and Nan Tor thel1
kind Inequalities, they hoped to meet
them again on similar occasion.

The Weldon Far.

Maj. T. L. Emry always pushes his
enterprises to success. The Weldon
Fair belongs to him and he does we'll
with it every year. He advertises ex-
tensively and gets large crowds.
This year the crowds were gooa every
day and the Fair grounds fairly autter-
ed with shows of every description.
Fakirs and gamblers were in evidence
at every turn, and many an unwary
one from the country returned home
from the Fair relieved of good part
if not all, of his surplus cash.
The exhibits we're not good, except
in the Art and Fancy Work depart
ment. Gen. J. s. Carr had a fairly
good display of farm products on exh1-
hilton from his Oconneechee farm.
There was very little stock, and IN
fact not much of anything to tell one
that it was an agricultural falr.
There were races every day, WHO
West shows and balloon ascenslono "A~
snch like to hold the crowds.
From all appearances MAJ. Emmy
must have made good money ana Inv

turbances.

Mrs. G. 81. Buck, 2o23 Douglas street,
Omaha, Neb., writes:
81 have used Peruna and can
cheerfuuy recommend 1t as being
the best remedy for cafarrh and
general debility that I have ever
used" Yours gratefully,
Mrs. 6. Fl. Buck.
Peruna is applicable to catarrh Of
any mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruna is q specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness of the mu-
cous lining of every organ of a woman's
body is we'll known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, 50 few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude of women have
found Peruna an indispensable remedy.

has a school worthy of the patronage
of the most exacting and critical.
The expenses at the institution, il
seems to us, are low, too low for thu
advanced prices of labor, feed, grocer
