 held.

From a letter received by Secre- tary George R. Brown of the board of trade, it is probable that Little Rock will have another railroad in the near future, entering the northeast side of the city, which is in the direction of Batesville, and leaving at the south east, in the direction of Altheimer. Nothing can be authoritatively an- nounced in regard to the matter for some time yet, since the plans for the road are still in the embryo state. Tn publishing the letter Secretary Brown declines to make public the name of the writer, the letter having been private. It is as follows:
 "Myself and associates have in con- temptation, the building of quite an important railroad through your county, entering it at the northeast, passing through Little Rock and leaving it at the southeast. But be- fore locating it definitely we would like to be fully advised as to the re- sources of the section indicated; the lay of the land; whether rocky or soft dirt; what the probabilities would be for securing concessions in the shape of right of way, bonuses or other financial aid. If you can fur nish me the above information at an early date you will greatly oblige, :" ete.-Little Rock Gazette.

THE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their teEti-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
lions are equally represented.
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. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith. pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga. writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some 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 ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rem
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady consider it well nigh specific.

Mr.. NJ. J. Rossman, prominent mer-

letter to The PeIuna 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 relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends. and after using few
bottles am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and lam now

certainly grand medicine. "---M. =,
