Our valuation is growing steadily
said Mr.. Pottle, and We have mveh
cause to feel encouraged and hopefui
over the outlook. In 1890 the valua-

a trifle over $500 ,000. 900 IN increase of

add to this the great increase in saw

The valuation of timberlauls il

the outlook is most promising
Quite Il majority of the cities and

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are Is
sure As fate, and can be relied on to occur
to ut least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate Of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second. colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable,
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of DESTROYING
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels.
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Pcruna cures catarrh wherever
located Is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.

GETTING OUT OF A HOLE.

The Legislature, 1t seems, has final
ly agreed to pay the interest on the
states bonds for the coming year out
of the public property fund. and thus
enable the state to catch up with its
obligations. This is a much better plan
than to be borrowing 5000, 900 every
year. Besides, the $200,000 that was
borrowed last year was not enough to
pay all of the states outstanding obli-
gations--that is. the obligations fol
which appropriations had been made.
The payment this year of the interest
on the bonds out of the public prop
erty fund will enable the state to get
square again with its creditors, and
the Legislature ought to take care
that it keeps square. 1t is the great,
est kind Of mistake for the Legisla-
ture to appropriate more money than
there viii be paid into the treasury.
Unless the state takes steps to have
property returned at somewhere near
its true value or raises the rate of tax
alton appropriations will have to be
be cut. during the next three years, be-
low what they are this year in order
to prevent a deficiency. because dur
ing that time 100000 viii be taken
from the states income for the Atlanta
depot. and that amount will have to
be made up from some source.
1t is not imperative, of course. that
this matter should be discussed at this
time, but 1t is well enough TO take a
look ahead. Perhaps IL the constitu-
tional amendment respecting INDECENT
pensioners Is adopted there will be
heavy failing off in the amount of the
pension burden, but no dependence
should be put on that The amend
ment Is just as likely TO be defeated as
carried. The counties which profit
greatly by the pension money will. no
doubt, vote against H.
