Catarrh is an old cold. Even the

to cause catarrh of the head, which
rapidly spreads through the system,

Peruna is such remedy. If taken
at the first symptom of catching cold
it heals the catarrhal condition before
it becomes established and makes inn

There seems to be strange fatality
attendant upon certain form of
ioke(?) in this State, as several sad

day evening, after 10 o'clock, Mr.. Roy
al returned to the home after an even

truder came on toward their room in
spite of the warning, whereupon the
girl picked up shotgun, and as the
door was pushed open, fired, and was
appalled, to see that it was her uncle,
whom she had shot through the heart.
Mr.. Royal died almost instantly,
and the two families are plunged in
grief. The young girl is almost fran.
tic from grief and remorse, though she
can scarcely be blamed if the facts are
as stated.

There has been quite spirited rival
ry OF late among the towns in the State
as to which shall take the prize for the
biggest load of cotton. The fond hopes
of the whole list of competitors are
dashed to the ground by the big load
brought in to Brookhayen last week.
This load consisted OIL forty bales of
cotton, weighing, all together 1928
pounds, and was drawn nine miles by a
team of eight Jokes Of Holstein steers.
The cotton (as we'll as the steers) was
raised by the Moreton Helm Lumber
Company, and the special wagon frame
needed for this monster load was de-
signed and made by them. John Nc
Grath & Sons bought the load, paying
eight cents pound for the cotton.
One of the pleasant things about this
triumph is that it was hauled over such
fine roads. Lincoln county was one of
the first counties in the State to adopt
the contract system of working roads,
and few years ago it was all that two.
yokes of steers could do to pull a
wagon and one bale over parts of this
road.
