HARRY WATKINS DEPARTURE.


Probably no greater void could
have been created in our local mi
ming circles than the withdrawal
of Harry Watkins. He has been
so long and DO intimately sssociat-
ed with all of our successful mi
ming ventures that the name of
Harry Sagwa Watkins had become
"a SYNONYM Of success. A good
friend TO all, from the poor strug-
Cling prospector to the fortunate
mine owner, his rare tact and good
judgment has made him universal
ly loved.
The PRESS voices the sentiment
OF the entire district in wishing
him the utmost good luck in his
new and chosen field OF labor. If
is very like the man to select for
his later life work the amelioration
of the sufferings of his fellow man
Indeed, for many years this has
been his one object and he has
patiently awaited an opportunity
to put it into practice. He will
visit Paris, the birthplace of his
life long friend, DIR. Pretty Eagle,
the fortunate discoversr of that
rare u edicinal plant, Sagwa, and
receive his degree. DR. Watkins
will locate in the immediate vioin-
ity of the Hodge mine, where the,
Sagwa plant grows luxuriantly
and from this point will send out
his "leaves of healing" to a suffer
ing world.

Mr.. ID. &. Roberts has leased the
we'll known and much talked of
Eaton property on the Salem road
near Levias, and Mr. Geo. Roberts
is general manager of the mine.
Mr. Roberts expects to get enough
spar from this mine to fill large
contract he has with some people
in Alabama. This is quite a new
thing for coke furnaces to use the
huor spar, but a good thing for
the Lpar people,

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
incident TO Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This .condittonisdpetp aRaemic
nerve centers. The, nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become boodless for thes want
of proper nutrition. :.
This condftion-is especial gnoticeabl
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
a direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve centers.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
yoirs of life a vitality which creates
strong. steady nerves, and in this man
ner fortifies and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey. a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in
recent letter from TIA Alabama street,
writes: ITO a society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack of rest and irregular meals,
know of nothing which Is of 50 much

Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa Is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-

and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of eatarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be posi-
BILE If Peruna contained any drugs of
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by it's peculiar power

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, H., June 27.-Diabetes has so long
been looked upon as an incurable form of
Kidney Disease that sure cure for it must
rank as one of the most valuable medical
discoveries of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's X idney
Pills will cure Diabetes. Important evidence
in their favor is given by Rev. Thos. b. Nor
man, the well Unknown Baptist minister here.
Mr. Norman says:
Il had all the symptoms of bad case of
Diabetes and received so much benefit from
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that cheer
fully recommend them to anyone suffering
from that dread disease. Dodd,s Kidney
Pills will cure the worst form of Diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Diabetes,
one of the final stages of Kidney Disease.
All the earlier stages, from Backaehe to
Rheumatism, are naturally much more cas-
lily cured by the same remedy.

Fishing in Florida.

The exodus of angling tourists to
southern waters, particularly to those

the middle of January; the few know

that section do so much earlier. or if
restricted in time or pocket, defer their
visit until April and remain, as a rule,
during the month of May. They have
found that in the months of October
and November and in those of the early
spring the best results for the rod will
be the rule and the climatic conditions
more propitious for enjoyment l have
never found the temperature oppressive
during these months, even in southern
Florida, or on the coast of Texas. or
