While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex-
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.

GREATER THAN EVER
An ExphIbltion of the Spieneid Pro-
grees In Stock Raising.

The International Live Stock Ex-
position which opens at the Union
Stock Yards, Chicago, on November
2Sth, will eclipse anything previously
held in magnitude, as the entries are
more than 40 per cent greater than in
any former year. The widespread
interest in these animal exhibits brings
forth commentator from men high in
authority in educational and public
station.
Z. A. Burnett Director, University
of Nebraska, states:
II have been much impressed with
the value of the International as a
means of bringing together the most
intelligent and progressive stockmen
and farmers of America These con-
tests furnish the most superlative ex-
ample of the influence of brains and
business methods on the develop
ment of our agricultural interests.
ITO the average man who is q
sightseer merely, the International is
a revelation of what may be accomp-
lished through the combined influence
of good blood and the art OF the feed
err
The science of feeding and breeding
live stock is pereaps no more thor
oughly studied ond conducted than in
the vast country west and northwest
of Chicago, which possesses the essen
tial soil and climate conditions for
success, and it is expected that this
fact will be most strongly evidenced
at the coming show.
This year the Exposition will have
I - Il e.,
light horses and ponies, making il
even more complete.
For this occasion The North West
ern Line announces that special low
rates will be in effect November 10Th
and 30 and December lst, from all
points on its system, with ample train
service for the accommodation and con-
venience of all who attend.

The relenhone comnanv.

Audubon has recently become. more
than ever before, the headquarters Of
the Audubon County Telephone Com
pany, one reason being the removal
from Manning to this city of w. b..
Swaney, the president and general
manager of the company. The other
officers are VIM. Masterson, vice pres
ident; L. Z. Simpson, secretary: and
f. p. Hooker, treasurer, all of whom
now reside in Audubon. They own
nearly all the stock, little however,
being owned in Manning. This com
pany has gradually developed from
the initial plant of four or five years
ago put in by Mr.. Hooker and S. d.
Thayer, until now it is a monstrous
affair comprising nearly 600 miles of
wire and having central Offices not
only in Audubon but also in Manning,
Extra, Irwin, Harlan and Defiance.
They are constantly running new
country lines, having just completed
two lines down into Greeley township
on which they have placed thirty
phones. The do the switching here at
the central for eleven farmers lines
that center in there and radiate in all
directions reaching to remote parts
of the county. The system has grown
rapidly, but is not yet nearly develop
ed.
Messrs Swaney and Simpson give
their whole time to the business. Mr..
Masterson devotes considerable time
and Prof. Hooker a small portion of
his time to the business. They en-
ploy three ladies here in the central
including the night service. OF course
gangs of construction and repair men
are constantly employed Jesse Les
ter who was the local repair man, or
trouble shooter as it is called, for
Audubon, has been promoted to in
spector of the switch boards and in
struments of the whole system, while
Fred Baxter has been promoted from
a workman to the position Mr.. Lester
vacated.
We are glad to see the company un-
der such good management and to see
it succeeding SO well.

mile east of Poplar, lost five head of
cattle last week from indigestion, they
having eaten too much dry corn stalks.
DR.. Geo. Weighton made an examin-
alton of some of them. 1t seems those
corn fields damaged by the hail caused
the, stalks that were not entirely de-
stroyed, to become harder and dryer
than usual. Mr.. Christensen has a

Our Annual festival of Thanksgiv-
ing is with us again, and happy homes
all over the commonwealth radiate
with the JOY of its coming. From east
and west, from north and south, from
colleges and factories and workshops
and business offices far and near,
flock the children, some young and
bouyant, some hard and grizzled
some pale and tired, but all turning
with Frightening eyes toward the old
roof tree. Like the Feast of Taber-
nacle of the olden time, this is our
Harvest Home" The crops have
been grown and gathered in, the years
rain ard sunshine and soil have been
turned into corn and wheat and fruit
and wine, and all mankind is ready to
recognize that without Gods hand the
miracle could not have been wrought
and with one accord will give him the
praise. Nothing exceeds in grandeur
the conception of a real national
Thanksgiving, when every state and
every home and every individual that
goes to make up mighty nation at
one and the same time is bowed in
sincere appreciation of blessings re-
ceived and honest Thanksgiving to
God. Abraham Lincoln was the first
president to issue a proclamation for
such national Thanksgiving. His
great soul appreciated large things
and his was truly reverent nature.
Among the greatest of our national
blessings may truly be counted the
great men, who under God, have
made our nations greatness.
