There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed TO be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable,
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, o., is
the only constitutional cure on the
market, 1t is taken internally in dos
es from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure Send for Circu-
lars and testimonials.

ment of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy to pay tribute to the
memory of the heroes who sleep in the
cemeteries not only in our city Gene
terry, but in each ana all cemeteries
within the reach of the Merrill z. Pratt

Of the weather, the exercises of the day
were held in the spacious auditorium
of the court house. Following were
the order OF exercises:

After the conclusion Of the program,
the large cortege OF citizens repaired
to the cemetery to decorate the graves.

It is not an 'shonest tired feeling" which is
produced by work and relieved by rest.
It is a tired feeling that has absolutely moth
ing to do with mental or physical exertion, and
makes a constant burden Of itself.
You go to bed with it and get up with it.
It is common in the spring or on the return Of
warm weather, and is a warning which only the
hazardous fail to heed.
1t is due to an impure, impoverished or de-
vitalized condition Of the blood.
