Rev. E. q. Smith.
Mr.. NJ. J. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder

letter TO The Peruna Medicine Co, OF
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows;
For long time was troubled with
catarrh OF the kidneys and tried many
remedies. all OF which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using a few
bottles | am pleased TO say that the long
looked for relief was found and am
now enjoying better health than / have

There was no help for it, Ned, his
face contracted with rage and homeless
misery, led the ruffian into his room
where In little cot, Kiddy, fast

In small cupboard which Ned had
built into the wall by the side of the
bed lay the result of two years hard
work and privatiOns-- the money that

happiness to Lucy.

The Wit of General Grant.

In recently published life of General
Grant the author gives several anec-
dotes connected with his subject, =
these two being refreshingly smart:
The General was not an admirer of
Mr.. Sumner, and when some one said,
MIR. Sumner does not believe In the
Bible" Grant said mo, suppose not;
he didn't write it,
attracted by a horse driven by a
butcher, he purchased the animal at a
cost of five hundred dollars, and invit-
ed Senator C0nkling to drive behind
it. The Senator criticised the animal,
and said, Il think should prefer the
money to the horse" THAT is what the
butcher thought" said General Grant.

A Reliable Preparation-A Respon-
sibIe Firm.

Of the many remedies before the pub
lie there is, perhaps, none that has given
such uniform satisfaction as Ely's Cream
Balm, the renowned specific for Catarrh
and kindred diseases. For over a qupr-
ter of a century it has stood the good test,
growing in popularity as the years roll
by, until the fame of the good work 1t has
performed has made 1t household word
the country over. A soothing, eGicacious
and entirely harmless balm, It is easy to
apply and brings relief and comfort to
the thousands who are sufferers from
catarrh in this climate during the fall,
winter and spring seasons. A more re-
liable nor honorable firm than the pro-
prietors, Ely Brothers, whose name the
celebrated remedy bears, cannot be found
in any business or profession, so that in
recommending this preparation to suffer
ers it can truthfully be said that it Is
not only meritorious as to the ingredients
of which it is composed, but that it is
backed up By honor and integrity as
well.

some four years back the latter had

many disappointment, the grounds
surrounding the house had been re-

For once tickle fortune, less blind
than usual, was in generous mood,

and ceaseless efforts, Ned Hartley
found himself sufficiently well off to
marry the girl he had left behind

which he had literally built for her

But Master "Kiddy" found himself
suddenly seized from behind, and an
immediate stop put to his flight from
the nursery.

Jack, you can't come out with me to-

it was time for him to be off and re-

"Kiddy wants the gun. Kiddy wants
