Phenomenal Prosperity.
Movement Gains Strength.


The cduca tional movement throughout
Virginia is gaining in strength. The eff
cacy of knowledge and sound ethics is
recognized as it never was before. it is
said. until there is a literal thirst for
knowledge IN some sections AT this op-
perfume time. Richmond College is pre-
pairing to strike out into the new fields.
and gather in he harvest of knowledge
seekers. Since Christmas there has been
an influx, it is reported. Of entirely new
scholars into the Fork Union Academy.

amounting to the comparatively paltry
sum Of $500.

Entirely unsuccessful in obtaining any
trace Of little Luna Joyner. was the
thorough search which was yesterday
made for the pretty. 5-year-oid girl who
mysteriously and suddenly disappeared
from her mothers home about two nnontha
ago. and who has been since that time
as completely lost to the world as waa
little Charlie Ross.
Whether she was carried of from fe1
mothers home by kidnappers. or wheth0
she fell into some old we'll or tan-bar3
pit, or was drowned in some swollen
creek. or whether she strayed into tins
woods, lost her way and. finally worn
out with hunger aud exhaustion, lay.
down alone IN the wind and rain to die.
- one can say.
Mrs. Ida Joyner. the mother Of the miss.
Ing child. lives near Church Road. Va.
Her husband died several years ago. af-5
ter having built with his own hands the
house in, which they lived, and having
cleared the land around 1t OF dense for-s
est growth. Luna Joyner was next to
tho youngest of seven children She was
remarkably pretty. with dark eyes. fair
skin. and golden hair, and although sha
was under the age at which by law chil-
dren are. allowed to attend the public
schools, she was so bright and weil-be-
haved. that she was permitted by the
teacher to come with the other Joynsr
children to school and to remain there
as long as she chose without saying less
sons.
no Trace Was Left
80 We
Joyner had kept all of her children home
from school for the day to help about
the house as it was hog-killing time
Little Luna went out just before II o'clock;
to the peanut-f1eld with her brother. 10
pick up loose peanuts which had been
left by the gatherers. The children
brought these home. roasted and ate
them. Then the boy went into the
houee leaving the little girl near the
3smokehouss. and since then her friends
have never seen her nor found the slight
est trace at her.
Within hal an hour after her b-othay
left her by the sruokehouse she had
been missed and sought for everywhere
in the vicinity of the house. No piece
of her clothing was found and no answer
came to the calls from her friends to the
child In few hours the whols neigh
berhood had been alarmed and .Hurrf-3
cane. Branch and his dogs had been
sent for and had come that same eyenr
ing. In a heavy rain the search was
continued through every swamp. woods.
and pasture IN the neighborhood through
out the whole night Late next day tho
hunt was given up as hopeless and Mr.
Branch left with his bloodhounds
Since that time. however. interest in
the fate OF lae child has not abated and

Miss Helen Whitman, 30Sh Grand

"Therc is nothing like Peruna for
that tired feeling, which gives you
no ambition for work or play.
After a prolonged Illness, about a
year ago L felt unable to regain my
health, hut four bottles of Peruna

stored me to perfect health. AS long

81 have had very gratifying re-
suits from the use of Peruna for
Indigestion and stomach troubles,
and L am pleased to give my experf-
ence. Three years ago my stomach
began to trouble me, my food did not
properly digest, and would
wake up two or three times in the
night with terrible pains caused
from Indigestion. 1 saw "a physician
at once, and took what he advised,
but the trouble only increased until
my health was very much impaired.
L grew pale and thin and thought
there was no cure for me. FOrtu-
nateIy Peruna was brought to my
notice, and the regular use of eight
bottles made me well. 1 therefore
endorse it most heartily."-Maric

Miss Grace Allyn, II Cedar St., Hot

For years l was troubled with 1ndl-
gestion and dyspepsia, which at times
became so bad that despaired of ever

Each one of these troubles and
great many more are simple catarrh-
that is, chronic Inflammation of the
mucous lining of whichever organ is
affected Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other. This is why Peru
ma has become so justly famous in the
cure of female diseases. 1t cures ca
tarrh wherever located-Its cures re-
main. Peruna does not palliate-it
cures.
Half the Women Suffer With Catarrh
Over half the women have catarrh in
some form or another And yet, prob
ably, not a tenth of women know that
their disease is catarrh. To dIstin-
guish catarrh of various organs it has
been named very differently
One woman has dyspepsia, another
bronchitis, another Brights disease,
another liver complaint, another con-
sumption, another female complaint.
These women would be very much sur
prised to hear that they are all suffer-
ing with chronic catarrh. But it is so
nevertheless.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use Of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The rule is for four families to have

The roof is divided into two parts

one side of which lie the men and on

COFFEE SENT HER
Back to the Country

young woman of Bradford, VT,
made her way to a good position in
big Boston store and gave it up be-
cause of sickness at home, but it all
came out right at last and she tells
the story this way: Two years ago
had to leave a position as bookkeeper
in a Boston department store to go
back home to take charge of the old
place as Mothers health seemed shat
tered, and what do you suppose proved
to be the cause that forced me to re-
turn?
Il found her very weak. unable to
sit up all day and with a dizzy feeling
if she tried. to move about. She had
been advised to stop coffee drinking
it seemed as though nothing could
take it's place. l had settled down to
stay mt the farm when one day l got
to thinking over the situation and con-
cluded to try an experiment. l got a
package OF Postum Coffee. 1t was not
cooked right the next morning and we
were all disappointed. That was be-
cause we had tried to make it like
coffee Next morning ] had Postum
made according to directions and we
were all delighted In a few days you
could have seen the change in Mother.
Since that time we have never drank
coffee and now we all drink Postum
twice day and sometimes three times
and think it superior to coffee.
1.-The change in Mothers health
since she quit coffee and took up Pos
tum has been wonderful. She is once
more able to take the work again,
quite well in fact, with no more weak
ness and nervousness, no more sour
stomach. no more trouble of any kind.
TO cut a long story short, she is now
entirely well and l am going back to
Boston in a few weeks, thanks to

OBITUARY.
