LEAP YEAR PARTY AT ANNEX
HALL A PLEASANT AFFAIR

One of the largest, as well as one of
the most delightful. of the pre-Lenten
social events was the leap year party
of Annex hall Friday night.
There were about 70 couples pres
ent, including many of the younger
married set. Dancing furnished the
diversion and was kept up until late
hour. The music was by Pegram's or
chestra of Pueblo and was of the best
possible character for dancing.
Ono OF the members Of the orches-
ira was known by ". H. Peabody dur
ing his boyhood days back in New
England and their meeting here. more
than 1000 miles from the place Of
their former association. was as pleas
ing as 1t was unexpected. Refresh

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.


THE disease now known as grip
! used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins It spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches 1t from the
atmosphere.
"Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grlppe."
Robt. l.. Madison, A. M, Principal Of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, n. c.,
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He is a writer of occasional verse and
has contributed to . number of leading
papers and neutrality-suspicious. edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
"I am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. 1t is the most effective medi-
cine that have ever tried for Ia grippe.
at also cured my wife Of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not st night breathe
through her nostrils.
"In consequence, an inhamed condi-
tion OF the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruns was tried"
Healthy Mucous Membrs0es.
Those who are fortunate enough 70
have perfectly healthy mucous men,
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining The
nose, thro.t and lungs, when in .
normal state, are an s6ectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, II there happens TO bs the slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey 70 the grip.
This In partexpIxins why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not. ..
The rstiosai thing 70 do - TO keep the
system free from cAtArrh. In attempt
ing TO do this most people have found

that work will start early in the spring
but we may be delayed a little in COM
plotting our Michigan line.
"As our companys engineer has not
yet gone over the two routes | am not
prepared to state which one will leave
the city by the river road or go to Mil
ton and then TO Edgerton. Both have
their attractions OF one thing, how
ever, l am certain, and that is that our
people expect to build this road in the
near future and my business here today
may hasten our work here in this direc.

Mr.. Zigler will be remembered as the
gentleman who has made GAINESVILLE his
headquarters practically since July last.
He has gone over the route between

sents a large syndicate that has built
