one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure, in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood

Thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu

ON the evening Of Nav is next at

On the evening of May 18 next at
the opera house there will graduate
from our city high school some fif-
teen young neI and young women.
These did not quit or stay out Of
school earlier in life because of the
thorns they saw in the pathway. They
chose the harder way because in early
youth their parents, perhaps, helped
them to see what they now know full
we'll, that there is indeed no royal
road to lofty achievement. They
chose to take all the training the state
could offer in the public school sys-
tenn and have paid the price of
years of struggle and of toll. They
have dreamed dreams and have seen
visions, which come only to those who
choose to tread the pathway of strug-
gle rather than some easier way.
Yea, verify, this is matter of
choice, and some choose to become
hewers of wood and drawers of water.

Build New Warehouse.

This summer another large building
will be added TO the Third avenue fac
tory row. Plans for now being per
fected providing for five-stOry brick
structure by Deere & Co. to be erected
on the old paper mill site. For several
years the great pillow shop has been
crowded for warehouse room and Row
the company has been forced to take
immediate steps to remedy this. With
this in view a 100000 building will
be built. The building will be 171x164
feet and five stories high and will be
built out of brick. 1t will be built on
the paper mill site, half of which is

feet of the ground and a little more
than half of that ground will be util-
lied for the new building. As soon

broken. which will probably start the
latter part of this month or the first
of April. 1t will be completed by the
time cold weather again sets in.

longer and has four feet more beam
than the Helen Blair, although she does
not set as high in The air, being at
present without a texas, and therefore
looking little smaller than she really
is. Excellent machinery, and new boil
ers, allowing a pressure of 200 pounds,
equip her admirably for speed, and
her big wheel has pushed her around
on the lower river in way that has
been the admiration and envy of skip
pers other than her own.
| AS soon as the boat was purchased,
on the Tennessee river, where she was
spending the winter, she was dropped
down to Farley's landing, and a gang
of shipwrights set 70 work to remodel
her and adapt her especially for the ex-
cursion business. Some of the state
