to the Sample.
tOwsnsboro Inqulrer.l

The 1,76l hogsheads of . tobacco
which were pooled last year and sold
recently have been received and ex-
amined by the purchasers. Out of
the entire lot only fifty-four hogs
heads were rejected because they did
not come up to the type sample.
This shows remarkable care and skill
in grading and prizing. The reject
ed tobacco can be sold at once, sew
eral good offers having been made
for il.
The work of billing the tobacco is
now going on. and as soon as this
is finished, which will be in a few
days. the money for it will be paid.
Then will come the work of making
the calculations as to the amount
due each member of the posl. which
will take a few days more. The f.
nance committee is confident that
the money will be ready for all those
to whom it is due within the next
ten days.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digcsted food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna Is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
lions that are trying to the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands OF testimonials FROM
women in all parts Of the United States
are being received every year. Such

Peruna is without an equal as . nerve

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of
proper nutrition.
This IL especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
diffissslty by correcting the digestion.

bureau of charities, says
Il don't believe there has been any
criminal diversion of the San Fran
cisco relief fund. When the disaster
arose Schmitz rose to the occasion
and showed there was greatness in
him. 1 do not think the money passed
through the hands of the committee
of fifty, or through the hands of the
mayor and misappropriated. I imag-
inc the emergency bureau was or
ganized of the victims of the disaster
for receiving the funds and recording
them"
when you think Of the immense
number of contributions and the par
alysis of the agencies Of transmission
no doubt many remittances were
wrongly entered and trace Of them
lost. 1 do not doubt but that every
cent contributed reached its proper
