George Washington, says the Phla- delphia Record, conducted the Noun tain Road Lottery, building @ public highway with the profits, and in an anteroom of St. Peter's church, at Third and Pine streets, there hangs in a frame on the wall q ticket from lot tery that the church itself conducted. The ticket is dated 1765, and reads: "St. Peter's Lottery. No. 11,759, This tick ct entities bearer to such prizes as may be drawn against it's number, if de- manded in nine months after the draw ing is finished, subject to such deduc- ton as is mentioned in the scheme" The slip of paper is two inches square and printed, but the signature, which is that of Henry Harrison, is written. The amount of the lottery prize, cost of the tickets and the good use to which the profits were to be put are subjects of which the verger of St. Peters is in ignorance.

The following anecdote appears in a Naples paper: At the postoffice yes terday amid the large crowd gathered around the window, was young Eng fish lady, handsome, well dressed and accompanied by her maid. The young lady had just purchased some stamps and was about to affix them to a num- Der of letters which she held in her hand. Delicately tearing off a stamp, she said to her maid: Put out your tongue And the maid, with English impassivity, thrust forth her tongue, while the mistress passed over it postage stamp which she subsequently, stuck on a letter. She went through the entire package of letters and for each one the obedient waiting-maid thrust out her tongue for the mistress to moisten the stamp. Curious man. ners these English people have"

Captain,O. Bertoletto of the italian
Barque "Lincelles," in q recent letter
from the chief officer of the Italian
Barque Lincelles, Pensacola, Fla,
writes:
81 have suffered for several years
with chronic cafarrh Of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiving the least benefit Through
one Of your pamphlets began the use
of Peruns, and two bottles have en-
Hreiy cured me. Irec0mmend Pefuna
to all my friends. 100. Bertoleffo.
In catarrh of the stomach, as well as
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is the remedy. As has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part,
it will cure catarrh of any other part of
the body.
Catarrh Is catarrh whever located,
and the remedy that will euro it any
where will cure it everywhere.

given me almost complete relief, and I
am sure that a continuation of them
will effect a permanent cure. Peruna
is surely q wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections.-J. d. Botkin.
This is a case of catarrh of the stom-
ach which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Peruna has at once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during a quarter
of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence, like q Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving .
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

Animals and Music.

The effect of music on animals was
recently tested by a violinist in Ber-
lin menagerie. The influence of the
violin was greatest on the puma. which
became much, excited when quicksteps
were played, but was soothed by
slower measures. Wolves showed an
apparent interest, lions and, hyenas
were terrified, leopards were uncon-
cerned and monkeys stared in wonder
at the performer.

EXCURSIONISTS FIGHT.
Difficulty on Train Between Con-
dGctor and Passengers.

4As(lOf dli0 doSCtI2ClSs
Special to the Daily Progress.
Beaumont, Aug. Soon after the
northbound passenger train pulled
out from Mccain Saturday night for
Beaumont fight arose between Con-
ductor Rhodes and Frank VALLEY (as
the writer understands the name.)
Frank had boarded the train without.
a ticket and the conductor made him
pay fare of four cents mile.
After the conductor had passed on
a half dozen steps or so, Frank re-
marked that he had paid his fare and
was going TO ride. This seemed to
incense the conductor, who turned
upon Frank and asked him In an
angry voice If he did not like paying
four cents a mile. With an oath
Frank replied that he did not, when
the conductor colIared him and
struck him with lantern, smashing
the lantern to fragments. Frank S
friends then joined him and, finding
that it was useless to contend against
so many the conductor gave way and
the disturbance was soon quieted.
To the writer, who was an impair
tial witness, it is plain that Conduc-
tor Rhodes was clearly in the wrong
as all were peaceable and quiet until
he turned upon Frank and collared
him.
The writer has learned since thai
pistols were used freely after reach.
ing Beaumont, and that Mr.. S. Kit.
treIl, who was implicated, was ffnec
twenty-six dollars; and that Franz
VALLEY got into another difficulty or

FAREWELL, AUGUSTA.
AS Court House Is to Be Moved the
Old Town Will Be Deserted.

OlQ ~ own VIII Dc DCSGt lGl.
Augusta, Perry county, is one of the
oldest towns in the state. It has pro
duced some of the best and most promi
nent citizens CT the state, some living
and others gone to their eternal rest.
Long before the war it was the county
seat of the comfy and before Hatties-
burg was established and the latter
made a second court distrsct it held that
place with honor and credit to the town
and its people.
Here the Copeland clan was broken
up and Copeland hanged. The same old
court house and the same old Jail are
there that were built many years ago.
But it is believed. that they will not be
there much longer and that the old town
ina few months will be entirely de-
serted. Property on the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City road mile and a
half from the old town has been pur-
chased by the citizens of Augusta and
they will establish town on that road,
when Augusta will become a town of
the past. The court house and the Jail
and all the business houses will be
moved to the railroad where the people,
being connected with the outside world
by rail, will go and come in droves and
business will be increased hundred per
cent and marriages will take place more
frequently ard children will be more
numerous. Here the new town will be
located between the fourishing town OF
Hattiesburg on the northwest and the
ancient city of Mobile on the southeast
and it will flourish like bay tree.
OF course there will be some kicking
among the older set who have lived al
their lives in old Augusta and who will
regret very much to leave the old home
stead, the old freside around which they
have sat and told stories about the In
dams and the adventures of the Cope
land clan. They will not know how tx
adapt themselves to the new situation
The wheels of the cars will CRATE harsh
ly upon their ears and the NOSE of |
thrifty town will almost run then
crazy" but they will finally get use to i
and will content themselves to die in tn
new town, consoling themselves tina
their BODIES can rest beside those Q
their beloved family IN the family grave
yard in the old town.
Yes, the old, old county seat of PER-
county is to find new place and tn
people of the old place will follow il
They honor the name with great rever
ence, and they love every shingle on tn
old church and every bench IN the oil
school building and they will take then
