AUTUMN DAYS.
By DR.. E. F. Eldridge.

Now, the dreamy days of autumn;
With their soft and mellow light,
Fill the land with scenes of beauty
Morning. noon and starry night,
Pictures wrought amid the mountains
Paintings drawn upon the plains.
Tapestries upon the storm clouds
Glowing in the drops of rain.
Photos in the pools and rivers,
Drawings in the vaulted skies;
Beauty beams upon our vision
Everywhere we turn our eyes.
God is good to fill with blessings.
For his children to behold,
All this land, of regal splendor;
Valleys grand, and mountains bold.
Good to teach the zephyrs idyls,
Tune the pine with music sweet;
Fill the brooks with songs of laughter,
Which the hills, in love repeat,
Good to tint the ruddy sunset
With fleecy, purple haze;
Fill, for us, the earth with beauty
In these dreamy autumn days.

CITY COUNCIL
Holds An Adjourned Session Last
Night and Lots of Business
Transacted.

The adjourned session of the city
council was held last night at the
city hall. There were five members
present of the board of aldermen and
Mayor Sampliner.
Aldermen Brunnick and Waldroup
were absent. The minutes of three
previous meetings were read and ap-
proved.
The petition of j. f. Mclaughlin
for water line in Mobleys addition,
was referred to the water committee
The matter of placing banner of
the socialist party across Main street
was brought before the council and
the privilege granted with the proviso
that Alderman McCary have super
vison of same.
water at the foot of Main street was
referred to the water committee also.
The report of city weigher, city
magistrate and city treasurer, were
received and referred to the finance
committee for report.
The superintendent of the water
works made his report and it was re-
ferred to the regular committee.
The question of the matter of using
extra heavy or standard pipe by
plumbers and individuals came up
and caused considerable discussion.
The law of the superintendent of
I'd I. Al,
city ordinances is that extra heavy
pipe must be laid. This has been
violated several times mad once espec-
ially where the superintendent desired
to take summary action. However, a
committee of three from the city
council was appointed to take up the
matter in dispute and report to the
council.
A number of bills were allowed.
Mrs. @. H. Huff. the wife of the
night engineer at the waterworks who
died from injuries received while de-
scending the hill ON Fifth street. was
allowed the present months wages
and month more by the council.
Morris Haggerty presented claim
against the city for $500 for damages
which he claimed his land sustained
by the removal by the city of gravel
from the river, near his land.
The bill after some discussion on
its merits was disallowed. Council
ordered that the water committee
have plat made of all the stop boxes
Of the city waterworks system.
The only manner in which the To-
cation of a stop box could be determ.
ined was by card Of location. This
was very poor way to handle the
matter, as the cards were being lost
and there was no system to the infor-
nation which is required every day.
Hence the order was made that the
water committee be authorized to
have plat made. 1t will greatly
relieve the work of the superintend-
ents' office.
The council confirmed the purchase
of the new fire horse.
The fire department WAS ordered to
purchaee new harness for fire de-
partment purposes.
Council then took an adjournment
until the next regular meeting.

MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN.
CcnEregafionaI Churches Urged to Observe Birthday to Emphasize
 Christian Patriotism.

New York, Jan. 6.-The American Missionary association has issued an appeal to the Congregational churches of the country to observe Sunday, February 9, as memorial of Abr:,- ham Lincoln. whose birthday is Feb rnary 12. The churches, and especial ly their Sabbath-schools and Endeav- or societies, are urged to emphasize Christian patriotism.
 Abraham Lincoln,' says this ap- peal, was born in the mountains of the south, where schools and churches have been establishtd by this asso- ciation. Negroes have grown into a great multitude of more than eight millions, among whom this associa- tion has planted it's institutions and missions. Through it's missionaries, the colored people are being trained in shop, on the farm, and in the school, church and home, for a safe citizenship and Christian responsi- bility. President Lincoln urged the kind and Christian treatment of the Indians. The negro and the Indian departments of the missionary worl. carried on by this association are. therefore, naturally suggested by his name."

Catarrh has already become a na- tiopal curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean.
 More than one-half of the people are affected by it. II has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Sen ators are talking about it; Congress men are discussing it.
 They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the dis ease, but the possibility of finding na- tional remedy to meet this national ca lamity
 The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this di- rection.
 Dr. Hartman, President of the Hart man Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the remedy as catarrh cure has been

 It stands to-day before the nation as thoroughly tested, accurately sci entific internal remedy for catarrh. There are practically no medicinal rivals in the field.
 Peruna is not a local application or temporary relief; it is a permanent cure. Peruna is a systemic remedy. It eradicates catarrh from the sys- tenn. It cures catarrh wherever lo- cated It's cures are radical and last ing.
