Miss Mary Mobiles, the eighteen
year old daughter of James Mobiles
who resides near Midway, died last
Wednesday morning, November 10,
after lingering illness of several
weeks. Miss Mobiles was loved and
most highly esteemed by all who
knew her. Her exemplary character
and many virtues rendered her death
a very great loss TO the entire commu-
nifty where she was raised. She was
buried at the Midway cemetery, Rev.
J. L. Boon conducting thhe ceremo-

sorrowing friends who attended the
burial. 1t was very sad occasion
to witness the departure of one so use
full and promising. Miss Mobiles was
a devoted member of the Baptist

MARION COUNTY.
(From the PurvIs ecord }

Town politics are beginning to grow
a little more interesting and our
town seems to be a little somewhat
more prolific in the way of producing
candidates than what might have
been expected. Some of the candi-
dates are known to be straight for
ward, working citizens, pos
sessed with qualifications required to
creditably discharge the duties of the
Office to which they aspire, and, if
elected, would doubtless strive to
serve our towns citizenship as
whole While others are so entirely
void of energy and enterprise, it
really seems that the only motives
prompting them to become habitual
hangers on, is the pecuniary gains to
be derived from the positions, and
judging from their past records, the
voters and taxpayers have nothing
upon which to build hopes for eff
cient service, if such persons are
elected. Our towns affairs have
grown to be of enough Importance
that first class business men should be
placed in charge.

The Oktibbeha prisoners have been
leased to H. A. Fox for period of
five years. NJ Fox furnishes the
land, stock and implements. The
county furnishes the convicts, their
food, clothes, medicines; builds for
them a prison and hires a guard. If
extra labor must be secured to work
the crop Mr.. Fox and the county share
the expense equally. Mr.. Fox may
use the convicts in ditching or i'm
proving his land after his crop is laid
by. The county gets one-half of the
crops raised by convict labor. .-Maben

commendation testifying to the merits of
Pe-ru-nn as a ca:arrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman is receiving hundreds Of letters
daily All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est onemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
ANY man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
we'll nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning Of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out OF its victims Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continu-
