AN oLD-sTYLE SOUTHERN TOWN
Its People and Their Interests and
 Prejudices.

| Its People and Their Interests and Prejudices.
 | Three families of importance lived near the railway station, and the little settlement dwindled down the muddy road to a dozen negro shanties All round about was country population on small farms, and further away there were the wrecks of two old plantations. In the neghborhood were a Methodist
 church and a Baptist church Moth
 CT" said a pious Methodist girl of
 eighteen, Ifs it impossible for an Epis-
 copalian to be saved?" For still the
 clrcuitriding preacher at 'revival'
 times insisted that the grace of God fell short of saving them that danced
 and played cards. The young people,
 and occasionally q hoary sinner, went
 to the mourners' bench and were duly
 converted" Then the community
 rested from disturbing questions of
 faith till the Baptist revival came
 and the elder insisted on the necessity
 of immersion.
 Yes, sir" the prominent citizen of
 the community used to say when a
 stranger came along, "I can still catch
 'possums half a mile from the station,
 and there's good fox hunting yet" There was a shanty down the road that
 was used for schoolhouse. A young
 woman taught a dozen children for one dollar a month each till she was mar ried Then there was no school for two years. For a generation or two it had an intermittent life. A public school was kept for the very poor in hut a mile away in the woods, for about six weeks a year. Life ran easy and life ran slow. Politics and religion, the crops and the promise of peaches, wa termelon stories, and sometimes remi- niscences of the war were the staples of conversation.
 It Is the rural regions and in such a. circle of the old academic society that you come upon the southern problem that unyielding stability of opinion which gives a feeling of despair the very antithesis of social growth and, of social mobility "Everything lies bere where it fell" said a village philoso- pher in speaking of this temper. There are the same rocks in the road that were there before the war;
 To illustrate: One morning I went, in just such a town, to colored col lege where I heard very black boy and construe passage of Ills teacher also was a full blooded negro. It happened that I went straight from the school to club where I encountered group of gentle men discussing the limita ations of the African mind. Teach 'em Creek" said old Judge So-and-So. Now a nig- ger could learn the Greek alphabet by rote, but he could never intelligently construe passage from any Greek writer-impossble!' I told him what [ had just heard. Read it? understood 1t? was black? a black man teaching him? I beg your pardon, but do you 'ead Greek yourself?"
 Sir. said he at last, "I do not for a doubt your word. I know you mink the nigger read Greek; but, even f you knew your Xenophon by heart, I should say that you were deceived. I shouldn't believe it if I saw it with my ,wn eyes and heard it with my own ,ars. "==WalIer Page in the Atlantic.

"I HAD BACKACHE
 MOST OF. THE TIME." "Pe-ru-na is Woman's Friend"
Writes Miss Lindsay,
 of Marinette, Wis.
Tired Women, Run Down, Weary and w eak, M Orn in 2, Noon and Night.

If one were to ask all the nervous fretted, jaded, fagged-out women wh, work day after day, hardly able to keel on their feet-if person were to asl them what their trouble was, one would say dyspepsia, another nervous prostra tion, another female weakness, ant so on.
 The fact Is, however, that they nearly all have the same disease, and that dis ease is chronic catarrh.
 Thousands of people have chronic ca tarrh and do not know 1t. They realize that they are sick, but 1 they do not suspect that their disease is chronic catarrh.
 If they have catarrh of the stomach they call it dyspepsia; if they have gen eral catarrhal debility, they call it ner- vous prostration, if they have catarrh of the liver or kidneys, they say they are bilious or have kidney disease; and if they have catarrh of the pelvic organs they name it female weakness.
 The truth Is, all these organs are sub ject to catarrh, and the land is full of toiling women, half invalids, who have chronic catarrh in some stage or form ot some of these organs.
 Women from all parts of the United States bear testimony to the fact that Peruna cures female catarrhal diseases.
