La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

It spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristo- crat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all are lia- ble.
 Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been short ened by the busy American to read grip"
 Without intending to do SO, new word has been coined that exactly de scribes the case. As ii some hideous giant with awful grip had clutched Us in its fatal clasp.
 Men. women, children, whole towns and cities are caught in the baneiul grip of terrible monster.
 Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Ii SO, read the fol- lowing letters.
 These testimonials speak for them selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in cases of la grippe or it's after effects;

Death of Mrs. Prior.

Mrs. Catherine Prior, relict of the
late w. K. Prior of Como, died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.
P. DeWolf, four miles north of Cres-
cent City, on Wednesday of last
week, April 18th, aged rs years. The
funeral was held the following day
from the Baptist church at Como,
Rev. VIM. Stones of Palatka officiat-
ing. The interment was in the Como
cemetery.
Mrs. Prior had resided at Como
since 1879, her family being pioneers
in that section. And in the early
days her home was centre of social
life for large section of the PENN
sula. She was woman of exalted
Christian character the influence of
whose life has resulted in a progeny
of sturdy and honorable citizens,
who, in this time of bereavement,
rise up and call her memory blessed.
Mrs Prior had been i'll and blind for
over a year, and her release was not
unexpected. She is survived by
three sons and daughter, they being
Chester Prior of Providence, r. T.,
Horace Prior of Jacksonville, w. S.
Prior of Como, and Mrs. A. P. De-
Wolf of Crescent CITY.

Ostensibly he was justified, for she had
certainly been unintentionally rude to
him. The finding Of the letter did not
Of itself mend matters, for Frank had
recalled anything he might have said
in It. Besides, even If he felt as he did
when he wrote 1t, now that their posi-
lions were reversed he would not re-
new the offer.
Now, any girl who is level headed
enough to assume the care Of her broth
ers and sisters should be able to take
care of an oversensitiye lover, and now
that Jennie knew that Frank had been
her lover she did not, as many girls
would do, assume that he had changed.
She took it for granted that his mind
was the same, but she had the pru-
dence and modesty to give him an op-
portunity to ayow it. She returned his
letter to him with q note explaining
how 1t had been found and saying that
as he had recalled 1t 1t needed no re-
ply. She knew that Frank was bound
to acknowledge its receipt and counted
upon his betraying his present feelings.
She was right. He replied that the
notes loss had been great misfortune
to him, since at the time 1t was written
he had every prospect Of wealth. Now
he was poor and could not offer himself
to the daughter Of rich man.
That, of course, ended the comphca-
ton, for Jennie had only to write that
an offer would be accepted She made
model wife.

The library committee of the V. I.
A. turned over to the association at
the last meeting well equipped
small library of two hundred and
eight books. The ladies of the COM
mittee, appointed by the president
at the annual meeting, formed an
association on the lines of the Tabard
Inn Library association, member
ship tickets at $3.50 for life member
ships having been issued. These en-
title members to one book, a charge
of five cents being made when each
book is exchanged.
The committee bought forty eight
books of new and popular fiction.
The remainder have been donated by
townspeople ana friends from the
north, and include many standard
works and number of books for
boys and girls. A librarian is in
charge two afternoons each week
and on those afternoons the library
is open to the general public as a
reading room, whereby opportunity
is given to people, whether members
or not. to read the magazines of
which a large number have been
given to the library.
The ladies of the V. l A. feel con-
fident that this library will fill long
felt want in CrescentCity, and they
hope and ask for the hearty co-ope-
ration of the townspeople that the
present small library may be not
only maintained, but added to each
year, in time growing to large pub

The sewing In the kimono consists Of
one small and one long stitch, a species
of artistic basting. There'is reason in
this, for whenever the klmono is wash

haps why the japanese, who baltic
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes,
wear such clean clothes. The kllnono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with n brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. Ono Of the sights Of d town
are these boards, with their strips of
silk leaning against the sides Of the
houses. 3S
The peasant women not only do tile
housework. but out OF door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear trou.
scrs and stand knee. deep In the slush
OF the rice paddles, guide tile water
