Pe-ru-Ma Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to- catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is settled fact Of
human experience. Everybody mus:
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps.
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home car
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

The reports that the union miners at the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company's mines at Lewisburg had been ordered to vacate the company's houses is authoriatively denied.

c. D. GRIFFIN RESIGNS.
Superintendent of Reformatory at East
 Lake Needs Rest.

The Mobile Register of Sunday says:
 Mrs. Erwin Craighead returned yes terday from Birmingham, where she attended a meeting of the board of control of the Alabama Industrial School and Reformatory for Boys, The board met to consider the resignation of Supt c. D. Griffin, which was ten dered last week. The-resignation was accepted and will take effect August 1. MT. Griffin has been in charge of the reform school there since the be- ginning, even when there was no whole roof on the reformatory grounds and cooking had to oe done in tent. He had a remarkable ability in the man. agement and training of boys, and the record of the school in reforming and making good men out of bad boys has been very fine He and Mrs. Griffin have been entirely devoted to the school, and the board is genuinely sorry to part with them. MT. Griffin has been overworked of late and pur- poses to take holiday and rest, after which he will probably open a private training school for boys at some place in the state.

AMUSEMENT
East Lake Casino.

-AoA A-~NC OoostsSs
 The Haynes and Redmond company presented a very pleasing bill at the East Lake Casino last night. The company Is one of the most talented that has appear ed here this season. "A Trip to New York" an exhilirating farce, was cleverly presented and served to introduce a num- Der of speclalties which were character ized chiefly by fredeom from obpection- able features and general excellence.
 The play deals with the efforts of Fur rell Futile Grubb, a banker to explain his presence at dinner with a certain young lady while on a trip to New York, and the numerous embarrassing complications in which he Is involved by the blunders of his confidential clerk, Jabez Trott MT. Al. Haynes made a very good banker in the leading part, and the characterization of Edward Warrin, who played the part of the clerk, was exceptionally clever. He kept the audience in a good humor all the time he was on the stage.
 During the action of the farce the specialties were introduced. They consist ed of a medley of songs and musical num- bers that were well received The Dark town team, composed of Mr. Glenroy and Miss Russell, made a deserved hit. They not only sing well but have a good stage appearance and are attractively costumed. The exception proving the rule, nearly all the songs rendered were sung effectively while the musical numbers of Mr Warren and Mir Hatch were above the average.
 The Haynes and Redmond company made very favorable impression at East Lake last night and deserve a liberal pa tronage for the remainder of the week. The entertainment they offer is free from all questionable attempts at humor and there are many funny situations in "A Trip to New York"
 III l.a .-s..- night. The bill will be changed Thursday night.
