Peruna:

nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality.
These centers become bloodless for want
Of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the spring season. Every spring

A NOTABLE ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment of Christ church, last week Tuesday evening, was a grand success. The program of the evening consisted of songs and recita- tiOnS. Miss Quinn of Waterbury was the main attraction. Prof Cole gave several fine readings. Miss Edith Jud- son of Huntsville sang a song and Mrs E. H. H.;Barber of WatertoWn also render ed a solo. All were heartily encOred and responded in very able manner. But the event of the evening that caused the most amusement was the darkey songs by Bethlehem and Brooklyn talent. After the program was finished cake and ice cream were served on the lawn near the church. The proceeds were very satisfactory, ment.

Dr Sage has an expert gardener in the person of Nichola Farrenti, who has made an old side hill blossom as the rose. Such sweet corn, water and musk melons, peppers; in fact, almost every kind of vegetable, the writer has never seen the like of before. It is quite evident MT Farrenti has the right method of "tickling the soil" as the poet puts it. The thOughtfulness of Dr Sage was shown in the large basket of tomatoes and corn he forced the scribe to carry away with him. It was handsome present and no mistake.

LOADED UP WITH CHEWING GUM AND
 STARTED OFF FOR THE FRAY.

For couple of weeks it hasn't been popular to insure the lives of wood- chucks; for State $ Attorney Williams and J. D. Dayton have been on their tracks. Up to Saturday last MT Will llams had shot 34: On Saturday last, in company with'Mr Dayton, he drove up to the store of Merchant Kair. He was dressed for hunting and might easily have been mistaken for Beth lehem farmer. He wore slouch hat, an outing shirt and clothing to match Driving up to the store he passed the. reinS to MT Dayton and nimbly climbed the steps and entered the store. 'Ill guess we'll have to have quarters worth of chewing gum," he drawled out in that interesting voice that characterizes the famous lawyer. And passing out $20 bill he asked the obliging merchant to give him some change. MT Williams is looked on as d sort of public benefactor, for the woodchucks increase so fast they soon become a nuisance. The farmers like him too, as he is not "stuck up'' and knows them all by name.
