The bazaar conducted the past week 1T the store rooms of the city hall building by the ladies of the Pelham chapter United Daughters of the Confectionery closed last night and as a result of the enterprise on the part of the patriotic women interested in having a Confed- crate veteran monument erected at Capi- tai park, about $500 was cleared during the six days, and this money will be added to the monument fund, which was already over 5000.

 The following persons won the prizes offered:
 Miss Lillian Yielding-Bride doll. Miss Yielding received 191 votes, the second largest number of votes being received by Miss Mamie East 1Ss. The doll was do- mated by Ferd Marx and the Berger Dry Goods company.
 Miss Mary Bowron Frazier-Gold neck lace, donated by Frank Lynch. A locket on the necklace was given by F. w. Bromberg. Miss Virginia Jemison was. a close second to Miss Frazier. re- ceiving 224 votes.
 Mrs. Robert Stobert-Ladies' handker- chief, donated by Mrs. Theodore Roose- welt, wife of the President.
 Murry White. of the Jefferson club Gold headed umbrella. Mir White re- cefved 5l7 votes, the second largest num- Der being received by w. H. Kettig, | president of the Southern club 164.
 Chances were drawn for the handsome lace fan, donated by Mrs. Zac Smith, and which was made at the Royal lace factory in Brussells. The lucky number I proved to be 73, and the person holding it is requested to call at the store to- morrow morning before noon or at the residence of Mrs. .J. A.

 John H. Anderson of Covington, Ga, writes:
 This is to certify that my daughter, Blanche Anderson. eight years of age, suffered with catarrh of the head for three years while living in Massachu- setts. At times 1t affected her eyes so that she could not bear the light ana would have to be kept in a dark room for three and four days. It finally went to her ears. She became quite deaf, and one of her ears began to discharge pus that was very offensive. I wrote to Dr. Hartman and he advised me what to do. I followed his directions and today. she is enjoying the best of health. Her eyes and hearing are both good. I heartily recommend Peruna for catarrhal affec- tions."
 In later letter he says:
 Your medicine has become house. hold remedy with my family, and think Peruna has saved my wife and myself from pneumonia. l would not be without it for anything. speak a good word for 1t whenever 1 get a hance."-John H. Anderson.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- wise gratis.
