Mr.. M. J. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church Of that place,
writes:
"For long time 1 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 a few
bottles am pleased TO say that the long
looked for relief was found and am
now enjoying better health than have
for years. 1t is certainly Q grand medi-
cine."-M. J. Rossman.
Hon. s. d. McEnery, United States
Senator from Louisiana, says the follow
ing in regard to Peruna:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Genffemen-Peruna Is an excellent
tonic. I have used II sufficiently to
say that I believe II to be ali that you
claim for II, as. d. McEnery.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruns,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving .
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable
advice gratis.

THE day was when men of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna 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.
A dignified representative Of the Pres
byterian church in the person Of Rev.
Z. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
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 catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Penuns the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady consider it well nigh a
specific. AS tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals."-

SEARCH FOR NEW PLANTS.
Report Received by Secretary Wilson
From "a Travelling Expert of the Dc
partment of Agriculture.

Washington, Feb. Secretary VIII
son has received a report from David
G.. Fairchild, the expert of the de-
partment of agriculture who, with
Mr.. Lathrop, wealthy New Yorker
is exploring the world for new plants
for Introduction into this country
The report is dated Colombo, C"ylon
and discusses general conditions in
China. lie says the missionaries
frightened out by the recent tr0ub'
les, are returning to their posts. and
that foreign merchants claim the
outlook for trade improvement is
very favorable in the region Of Shang'
hal. American trade. he says, is
that of other countries. but adds:
"Japan's trade has greatly increased
in China of late, and she is not only
an active, but may become a danger
Gus competitor"
Mr.. Fairchild went To Canton in
search of the south Chinese peaches
and plumS. scions and trees of which
he announces he has shipped here to-
gethcr with some promising leitchees,
bamboos and pcrsimmons for Cali
fornia and Florida. He says prOduc-
ers and shippers in China and japan
are much interested in the final out
come of the experiments of this gov
eminent i'm the home production of
tea, but apparently are skeptical, and
believe the cost of picking is too
great for the industry to succeed
here.
The American occupation of Ma
Mia has led to Il remarkable increase
in prices of labor, hotel accommoda-
tons and food products in China.
Coolies wages have greatly increased
in Hong Kong since the Spanish Amer
lean war, and important new eater
prises complain of a scarcity of labor.
Hotel prices are 80 per cent. higher
than before the war, and residents
claim that the general cost of living
has doubled in the last five years. The
Chinese government, to pay its war
indemnity, has levied a tax of five
American cents a year on each rafter
of every house in the country. For
eigners already pay about five per
cent. ad yalOrem on practically every
thing imported. The viceroy in Can
ton is already having great difficulty
in collecting the taxes, and white peo-
pie living there say this tax on the
natives is arousing n great deal of
animosity toward the foreigners.
"'The growth of our agricultural as
well as other exports to China" Mr..
Fairchild predicts, will be phe-
nomenal one, and include many
classes of canned and dried goods
from our orchards, and preserved
meats and dairy products from our
farms and ranches"
Mr.. Fairchiid says a British army
officer assures him that the Chinese
arsenal at Tien Tsin is manufacture
ing cannon and small arms which fall
very little short of being as good as
those of European manufacture, and
this without even the supervision of
the Europeans, and that the awaken
ing of China is going out with ra-
pidity that will soon astonish those
westerners who refuse to recognize
the course things are taking.

HOME FOR VETS
 IS PROMISED Land is Donated for the
 Purpose. MOUNTAIN CREEK STATION Capt. Falkner Gives Forty to
 Hundred Acres. It is An Ideal Site-Members Of Camp Falkner Start Movement. Portion of Lumber is Also Given
MOUNTAIN CREEK STATION

At last a serious effort is inaugurated to secure the indigent and disabled Con- federate veterans of Alabama home. This was settled at a called meeting or Camp Jeff Falkner. U. c. ". No. 1,Ss2, It is proposed for the home to be built at Mountain Creek Station. on the L. and N., about 2 miles from Montgomery. At the meeting last night it was stated | by the commander, Judge Purifoy, that the meeting was called TOT the purpose of | inaugurating an important enterprise through the liberality of Comrade Falk- | ner.
 Captain Falkner then stated that after mature deliberation he thought he had found an ideal spot for home for indi- gent and disabled Confederate veterans. He stated that he owned about 400 acres of land near Mountain Creek station on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He proposed to donate from forty to one hundred acres of this land. on which to build such a home. He stated also that he, In company with Comrades Ruth, Jackson and Judge Purifoy. had
 visited and inspected the locality. On motion of Comrade Ruth: com mlttee COnSlStlHS oI SOllIhahucI S0A'A Purifoy c. L. Ruth and w. H. Jackson was appointed to propose to the camp at It's next meeting suitable resolutions of thanks to Comrade Falkner for ms
 liberahty.
 A motion was also offered by Comrade
 Ruth that the commander appoint three
 trustees to receive and manage said
 property, to be announced at the next
 meeting of the camp.
 On motion a committe consisting of
 Comrades Falkner, chairman GreenWooo.
 Weatherbee. Hasselvander and Rowell
 was appointed on building and grounds.
 On motion of Comrade Faikner, 1t was
 ordered that a Committee on Ways and
 Means be appointed by the commander.
 to be announced hereafter.
 The members of Camp Falkner and
 other camps of Confederate veterans, as
 we'll as the citizens at large, are enthu-
 siastic in their praise of the liberal dona-
 ton of Captain Falkner, and 1t appears
 that a home for the old heroes Is at last
 in sight.
 It is understood that a large quantity
 of lumber has been offered the commit, tee for the construction Of the nome, ana 1t is said the railroad company will fur nish free transportation for the build ing material.
 As the State pays out more than $250OO0 annually in pensions, an appropriation will not be asked for by the committee. | but the home will be built by popular | subscription.
 | The location selected is an ideal one, | and Is one of the healthiest in the State. Mountain Creek Is perhaps 800 feet above l sea level and the water Is pure and health giving.

Mrs. Dewet, in an interview held

Mrs. Dewet, in an interview held
at the harrisburg concentration
camp, said that two of her sons
were still fighting with their father.
She regretted that the government
had not permitted her to communi-
cate with her husband, and said
she was certain he would never sur
render. Mrs. Dewet declared she
would rather see her husband die
than submit. Daughters OF the
revolution, how does that sound to
you? Has it not the ring of 1776?
Meanwhile, says the Bingham DEM
ocrat, news from London says that
several Chicago gentlemen, wearing
knee-breeches and short swords,
were permitted to kneel and kiss
the kings hand. Out upon them,
the knock-need, mush-mouthed,
pandering anglo-maniacs that they
are. Had they lived but a few gen.
erations ago, and had the nerve te
come home after such an exhibi,
ton, they would have been muzzled
and tied up in the dog kennel.
