First Presbyterian Church Of Greensboro, Ga, and Its Pastor

THE day was when men Of promi-
n hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people Of
high and low stations, hat no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
A dignifed representative Of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G, Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. E. g. Smith, pastor Of the Presby-
terrain church Of Greensboro, Ga,
writes; :
Having used Peruna in my family for
come time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. My little boy seven
years Of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh Of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
takiRgfw two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady I consider it well nigh a
specific. As d tonic for weak and worn
out people it has dew or no equals."-
REV. e. q. SMITH.

Why repeal a part and leave s.ms s2s

dens uselessly heaped upon them? On
he 1st Of July, 1902, all the taxes Of
this kind will end with the exception of
the duty on tea. 1t is objected by a
certain class interested as to the repeal
of this tax. If it is not needed, then why
continue it on a beverage hat millions

an importer of tea bring in only the

The navy department has taken the
positive position that the victory at
Santiago was Simpsons, that he was
in command. that Schley was not. and
it is not his victory. A very sorry sort
OF department truly. Sampson was far
away, did not fire a gun, issue an order
or see a Spanish ship, and yet 1t was
his fight and his victory. A s%tupendous
lie. Sampson should be tried for neg
lect Of duty. a~bsenteeism. betrayal Of a
great trust. In command and yet went
away. Suppose Wellington had been at
Ouartre Bra when the battle of Water
loo was fought by another general on
tie field. would he nave shameIessiy
and most meanly have claimed the VIC
