The French industry of raising

An Instance Of Growth.

1t is a pleasure, in this day of great
industrial combinations, to note an
instance where an independent concern
has attained to mammoth proportions,
and has grown steadily but surely for
years from a small beginning into the
fullness of the present time. Such an
institution is cited in the seed business
of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., who for nearly
half century have gone forward each
year, constantly adding new customers
and retaining all its old ones, until it
is today the source of seed supply from
which the great crops of this country
spring. Seed houses have come and
gone-some survived and fourished for
years, but finally succumbed for one
reason or another-while Ferry's kept
growing all the time. Thousands of
farmers, gardeners and flower growers
look to them year after year for the
seeds from which the prosperity OF
their fields and gardens is to grow, and
the fact that they are never disap-
pointed in Ferry's seeds is the secret
of the wonderful expansion of this pop
ular firm. You can buy their seeds in
every city, town or hamlet of this land,
and you are always certain that they
are fresh, true to name and sure tc
grow. Their 1904 Seed Annual, val.
liable guide in the selection of the
proper seeds to plant, will be sent free
to all readers of this paper who apply

Such endorsements serve to indicate the

position and has won its way to the hearts Of
the people. The natural timidity which SO
many people have felt about giving endorse
ment to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude
and desire to help others has inspired thous-
ands Of people to give public testimonials for
Peruna who heretofore would not have con-
sented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that SO many men of national and
international reputation have been willing to
give unqualified and public endorsements to
proprietary remedy. No amount of advertis-
ing could have accomplished such a result.
Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna
cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in
the human body. That is why it receives so
many notable and unique endorsements.

IN MEMORIAM.
Masonic Resolutions On the Death of
l.. z. White.

From The Whatcom (Wash.) Blade.
The following resolutions were
adopted by Bellingham Bay Chap
ter No. IL, Royal Arch Masons, at
their meeting on Saturday evening,
July IS, 1903:
Whereas, companion Louis p.
White has been called to the Sum-
preme Convocation on High,
Therefore, let the records show
that companion Louis p. White is
dead; that he died in his native
state at the home of his mother, in
Terra Alta, West Virginia, on the
9th day of July, A. ID. 1903, and
his remains were inferred at his ma
tive home on July 10Th, 1903, I'M
der the auspices of the Masonic
Fraternity.
Companion White was beloved
and honored by all who knew him.
He was gentle in disposition aud
anxious to add to the psum of hui.
man Joy" He did good deeds
from choice and not for personal
advantage. He was a friend of his
friends, on all occasions. He was
a man of firm conviction and integ-
rity of purpose. He was man of
generous sympathies, gentle and
considerate. Courtesy and polite
ness were of his prominent charac-
terIstic; they were of the genuine
type, those which spring from the
true goodness of heart, which ever
seek to contribute, to the happiness
of others and which avoid all that
would give pain. He was an exem-
plary citizen, true friend and a
good man. He always acted on the
square and kept tongue of good
report. He always let Temperance
chasten, Fortitude support, Pru-
dence direct. and Justice guide him,
in all his acts, and ever maintained,
in full splendor, those truly Mason
ic ornaments-Brotherly Love, Re-
lief and Truth.
Therefore, BE it Resolved, that
we ever strive to emulate his gentle,
sincere and pure life, and endeavor
to become better men for his hav-
ing lived among us. That we ten
der to the bereaved family of oui
deceased companion, our sincerest
sympathy in this irreparable loss to
them, and offer consoIing thought,
that he is free from care, his mis-.
sion to humanity is complete, and
he now sits in that Celestial Lodge
above, robed IN perpetual white, a
beacon to JOY and happiness be-
yond.
BE it further Resolved, that the
charter of this Chapter be draped
for thirty days, and that one copy
of these resolutions be furnished to
the family Of our deceased compan-
ion, one copy to his mother, and
copies furnished the local press for
publication.
