their first meeting on Friday aud or
ganizsd. Hon Elijah Coiner, president
of the old board was re elected. The

Rev. e. q. Smith.
Mr.. NJ. J. Rossman, a prominent NOR
chant Of Greensboro, Ca, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., OF
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
"For long time was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using few
bottles am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and lam now
enjoying better health fhanT have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. IS

Catarrh is essentially the Same whore
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-

Cold weather and the Wheat.

is drying up the hitherto never failing
springs and reducing the rivers to
shallow creeks. Travel on the county
roads is biting coldand as dusty as
a July drought. Monday morning last
the wave Of low temperature sent our
thermometers in Staunton down to 8
degrees. and Tuesday they registered
4 degrees. In the county, and aspec-
tally In the western portion of it these
Readings went to and in some cases be
low the zero mark.
Close observers can see small pros
pect for wheat crop next harvest
time. The drought of the last fall held
the grain in the ground till the cold
rains came, which froze the ground,
holding the fields in ice till the closing
IN of early winter weather prevented
the possibility OF the grain growing or
even termination, in many cases. In
hundreds of fields through the best
wheat lands in the county there is not
crop enough in prospect to justify the
cutting Nearly all the grain seems to
have rOtted or been otherwise killed in
the ground. In travel over nineteen
miles OF county only three wheat fields
we're noted where there seemed the
prospect of a -ual crop. Such con-
ditions. as far as learned. seem to pre-
val, to q more or less extent through
tue Valley counties, east of the ridge
and in fact through several of the
Northern and Eastern States. 10

First Presbyterian Church Of Greensh

THE day was when men OF promi-
L hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true today
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 hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men In our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tons are equally represented.
A dignifled representative of the Pres.
byterian church in the person Of Rev.
e, G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna In his
family and found 1t cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith Is supported by an elder In
his church,
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 ca
tarrh Of the lower bowels. Other rene
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
