Mr. William 4. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, OKLA, writes:
Zone bottle of Peruna which / have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
II had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.
II shall continue using it, as / feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
'Imost cheerfully recommend Peruna
TO all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
its unassailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above.
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able. find relief in Peruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.

CONDITION OF CROPS
As Shown by the Monthly Report of
the Ohio Department Of
Agriculture.

The following report represents the
average condition of the crops and
live stock named, as estimated from
the returns received from the regular
township crop correspondents of the
Department
Wheat, prospects compared with an
average, "a per cent.
Winter Barley, prospect compared
with an average, 91 per cent.
Spring Barley, prospect compared
with an average, 80 per cent.
Rye, prospect compared with an
average, 92 per cent.
Oats, prospect compared with an
average, SO per cent.
Glover, prospect compared with an
average, 90 per cent.
Timothy, prospect compared with
an average, 95 per cent.
Timothy, damaged by grub worm,
1.2S per cent.
Hogs, to be fed for summer markets,

Spring Pigs, number saved COM
pared with an average, 80 per cent.
Sheep, coddition compared with an
average, 96 per cent
Lambs, number saved compared
with an average, 90 per cent.
During the greater part of the
month of May, weather conditions

ing and assures heavy average yield
per acre, although, as stated in pre-
vious reports, the total area seeded
is below an average, which fact must
be taken into consideration in antici
pating the total yield of the harvest
The prospect over the state Is quite
uniform, not a county in the state
reporting it at less than 80 per cent
while last year at this time there was
a wide variance in percentage esti-
mates, ranging from 10 per cent. tC
SO per cent. On May l, 1907, the
average wheat prospect for the state
as whole was estimated at II pei
cent, while for that harvest there
was produced an estimated average
of 10 bushels per acre. BY compari
son with the present report 1t is
shown that wheat prospects in OniC
are most encouraging.
Oats prospects are estimated at 81

MIXED UP SOME
Are the Relations Between Bride
and Groom.

An ENHANCEMENT in relationship
seemingly without end and probably
the most remarkable and indeed the
most perplexing in the history of
Warren county has been brought
about by the elopement of Emanuel
Thompson, aged SO, with his fifteen
year-old grand neice, Flossie Bennett,
both of Socialville.
Speaking of the affair the Warren
County Appeal says: This somewhat
oddly matted couple we're married In
Hamilton on Thursday of last week.
When Thompson applied to the But
Ter county probate court for license
he gave his age as 46 aud that of the
girl as Is, claiming that they both
lived at Mauds,
From this marriage there arises

the county. 1t is even claimed that

of Socialville are using logarythms
and differential calculus in vain
attempt to solve some of the more
obtruse problems afforded.
w. r. Bennett, father of the girl
bride, has been married three times.
His first two wives were sisters and
the daughters of Rafe Thompson,
brother of Emanuel. His present
wife is a cousin of the two former
wives and is the daughter of Emanuel
Thompson, who Is a b other of Mrs
James Dumford, of this place, and of
Joe Thompson, who lived here until
recently. Flossie, who is now Mrs.
Emanuel Thompson, is the daughter
of w. II. Bennett by his first wife.
Emanuel Thompson has made his
home for some time past with his
daughter and son-in-law. Last week
he announced to the family that he
had decided to visit relatives in Illi-
nois and offered to take the daughter,
Flossie, with him This arrangement
was consented to by Mr.. Bennett, who
had not the slightest idea of the pro-
posed elopement until the announce.
ment of the marriage license was
published in Cincinnati paper last
Friday evening.
- From the above statements 1t will
be readily perceived that the family
relationships are in somewhat of a
tangle. Here are few of the more
easy ones
Emanuel Thompson is now both the
father-in-law and son-in-law of w. II.
Bennett, and is the son-in-law of his
