Catarrh has already become a ma
tional curse. Its rayages extend from
ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by 1t. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become a national question. Sem
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it.
They are not only con sidering the
extent and chronic nature of the dis
ease, but the possibility of finding a ma
tional remedy to meet this rationale ca
lamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems
to be the main expectation in this d.
vection.
DIR. Hartman, President of the Hart
mar S%anitarium, devised the remedy
Peruna, over forty years ago, and the
remedy as a catarrh cure has beer

SECRETARY OF STATE.
Il becomes my sad duty to make for
NAL announcement to you that Col. J.
l.. Power, late Secretary of State, de-
parted this life at his home in jack
son on the oath day Of September, A.
d. 1901.
His love for the State Of Mississippi
knew no bounds, and his loyalty TO its
| every interest was complete; MS re-
| spect for its laws was ~reverentlal, n
| his contempt was supreme for those
who wantonly dishonored n ais
obeyed them. As q private citlzen, MS
friendships we're fervid n enduring
his enmities few, his philanthropy
great and his charity sublime. In his
death the State has lost one OF lts
most public spirited and useful men,
and the Administration Of which ne
was a part one of its wisest counsel
ors. $50.
II became my duty under the law to
fll by temporary appointment the va
cancy in said office caused by the death
of Col. Power, and I have the honor tc
report that Joseph W. Power, the
faithful assistant and son of the late
Secretary, was appointed to fill sai'
vacancy until a successor could b'
selected.
A srecial election was accordingly
ordered. aud on the 9Th day of Noyem

NATIONAL GUARD.
By reference to the report of Adju-
tant-General William Henry, you will
be fully advised on all material mat
ters touching the State National
Guard.
l desire, however, to say further,
that, when NEEDED to aid the civil au-
thorit.es in the enforcement of the
law, the soldiers have responder
promptly to the call of the Governor,
and discharged their full duty with
the courage becoming true soldiers.
The men have manifested a most graf
flying and commendable willingness
to respond to the orders of their Off
GERS in every instance where localities
have been threatened with riot OF in
surrection. When ordered under arms
to await urgent and quick orders, thew
have responded with such uncomplain'
ing obedience and readiness for duty,
that their action may be claimed Oft
entimes to have deferred evil doer5
| from the commission of deeds Of great
lawlessness and breaches Of the peace.
CONGRESSIONAL APPoRTIoNMENT.
Under an act Of Congress approved
January 18th, 1901, entitled, IAN act
making an apportionment of represent
atives in Congress-" it is provided that
Mississippi be given eight representa-
tives in the National legislature. The
act further provides that the Con.
gressional districts shall be composed
of CONTIGUOUS and compact territory,
and containing nsarly as practicable
an equal number of inhabitants, and
that the said districts shall be equal to
the number of representatives to
which the State may be entitled.
In view of the fact that Mississippi
by said act, is entitled to an additional
Congressman, 1t becomes necessar,
that the legislature, at the present ses
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1902-01-11

growing in favor steadily all these
years.
1t stands to-day before the nation
as a thoroughly tested, accurately sci
entifc internal remedy for caterrh.
There are practically no medicinal
rivals in the field.
Peruna is not a local application or
temporary relief; it is a permanent
cure. Peruna is a systemic remedy.
1t eradicates catarrh from the sys
lem. 1t cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Its cures are radical and last
ing.
Therefore, Peruna Is receiving the
Endorsement of the leading statesmen
and history-makers of the day.
Address the Peruna Medicine Co.,
Columbus, o., for a book Of testimon-
ials, containing letters from prom
inent men and women concerning
Peruna.

Coon ROADS.
The itinerary of the National Good
Roads Association through the State
last spring stimulated the already ac-
tive demand among u people for bet
ter roads. The National Good Roads
Association, in conjunction with the
Illinois Central Railroad Company,
ran a train laden with the most i'm
proved implements for working public
roads. and gave practical demonstra-
tions at McComb City, Oxford, Vicks-
burg, Natchez, Greenville, Clarksdale,
Water Valley and Jackson.
To further stimulate the improve
ment Of our public roads, l deemed 1t
Of importance enough to call a State
convention to v in the City OF
Jackson during the two days that the
Good Roads train would be in Jack
son.
Forty-two counties were represented
at this convention Resolutions were
passed looking to needed legislation.
You will be acquainted with their rec
concentrations TIL Rough the President,
and l earnestly recommend that you
pass such laws as will further the
building of better roads in the State.
STATE VENUE AGENT.
The amounts collected by and
through the State Revenue Agent and
paid into the State, county, municipal
and levee board treasures, for the
past two years Is unprecedented in thu
history of that Office, and is ample evi
dence Of the efficiency Of Agent Wir'
Adams, who has conducted all suit
instituted by him with fairness ant
impartiality. By reference to his re
port, it will be seen that he has pai'
into the State treasury the sum o
$345, 552.52; into the county treasure
the sum of $435, 6b4.86, and into mum
cipal treasures the sum Of 43,930.4S
and into the levee board treasures tn
sum of $~3,521.59, which, together wit
amounts in hands Of tax collector
&~52,150.62), makes a grand total o
81, 096, 95S.05, less his fees.
The success Of the Revenue Agent l
collecting these several sums Is suff
cient proof of the wisdom of the legi'
, lature in establishing this office an
clothing 1t with wise laws. I'M II
