Is a better remedy for some conditions
than Ka-tar-no. They are both in
tended as catarrh remedies. They have
both done q great work in relieving
catarrh. chronic and acute. Many
hundreds Of cases Of chronic catarrh
have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no
and the same Is true Of the revised Pc
ru-na during the last six years since
its revision.
There Is a difference, however in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then he old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-
no) Is the better remedy.
The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale at
all drug stores. Those wishing to OBJ

STARK'S FAREWELL
MEETING AT MONTEREY

HILiINu Hl WOh LhL
The evangelistic campaign con-
Quoted the past two weeks at the
Methodist church by M. Lee Starke
"The Newspaper Evangelist" clos
ed Sunday night, but the meetings
will continue all this week and will
be conducted by Rev. L. L. Low.
ance, and Rev. N. A. Parker.
"The Old Ship Zion" was the
subject of Evangelist Starke's fare
we'll sermon. 1t was delivered to
one of the largest audiences that
ever assembled in the Methodist
Church. The text was Luke 8,
1926. He pictured very graphical
ly two ships starting from Monte
rey to eternity. The first ship was
"Pleasure of World" The pas
sengers who took passage on this
ship were those who were worldly
minded, and they were overtaken
by a destructive storm while sail
ing towards eternity. The other
ship, The Old Ship Zion'' was in
charge of Captain Jesus. Its pas
sengers were composed of the re-
deemed of earth who were on their
way to the Celestial city. The entire
address was a very vivid word pic
ture, and the service was not only
very impressive but intensely in
teresting. Quite a large number
promised to lead Christian lives in
the future.
Evangelist Starke labored faith
fully and earnestly while in our
midst, and his sermons have been
blessed in the convention of scores
of souls, and in the restoration of
backsliders, and the reviving of
Christians generally. And it is
believed that the good work done
during the two weeds of the revival
meetings, will continue its effective
nees, and the great religious awak-
ening through which Monterey has
passed will live long.
Mr.. Starke's fearless and manly
manner of preaching together with
his intense love for his fellow man
has won for him a vast number of
friends who we're genuinely sorry
to see him leave, and many have
expressed a desire that he come back
to Monterey again next year.
The evangelist left Monday for
Ashville, &C. where he is to con-
duct series of meetings similar to
those he has just conducted here.

After one Of the most largely at
tended and successful sessions in the
history Of the organization, the annual
convention of the Alabama Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association, which convened
in the San Carlos convention hall We'd
nesday morning, came to a close with
the election of officers for the ensuing
year yesterday at noon.
The officers elected were as follows:
President, Chas. A. Covey, of Eufaula:
secretary and treasurer, G. e. McCord,
OF Prattville, (re-elected); vice-presi-
dent, ). J. Casselis, of Montgomery.
TESTIMONIALS PRESENTED.
The session throughout was a most
harmonious one, not a single discord-
ant note being sounded, but the closing
moments yesterday morning, when
several members Of the association
were presented with testimonials by
the members of the association,
amounted almost to a regular. old
time love feast and a spirit OF fra
ternity seldom equaled in a convention
Of this kind was manifest.
Just before the election of officers
occurred, s. j. Cassells, after paying a
beautiful tribute to the retiring presi-
dent, w. A. Stanley, Of Huntsville, on
behalf of the association, presented
Mr.. Stanley with a beautifully en-
graved silver pitcher, as a token of an
probation of his efforts in the interest
Of the association and of the high
esteem In which he is held by the
organization over which he has pre-
sided for the past year.
The presentation was followed by an
outburst Of wild enthusiasm and IL
was necessary for MIR. Stanley to wait
several moments before he could set
the attention of the association aud
express his thanks for the toker OF
confidence and esteem rendered to him.
Following this presentation. c. W.
| Ashcroft, Cf Florence, formerly presi-
cent OF the association and now presi-
| dent of the Interstate Association, and
who is recognized as one Of the most
pleasing speakers in the association.
In q characteristic manner presented
Ernest Lamar, chairman of the legis-
| lative committee, with a handsome sill
yer service, as a token of the appre-
citation the association felt for his
splendid efforts in looking after and
protecting the legislative interests OF
he association.
In making the presentation Mr.. Ash
croft paid a high tribute to Mr.. Lamar,
saying that rugged characters were eN-
pected to come out of the mountains,
and that when a rugged and fearless
character was found to come out of
the plains, surprise was occasioned.
Nevertheless, he said, such was the
case with Ernest Lamar and so
greatly did the association appreciate
his untiring efforts in its behalf that
this testimonial was rendered to him.
This WAS also signal for an en-
| thusinstic outburst Of applause and
Mr.. Lamar was greeted by continued
applause when he rose to thank the
association for the testimonial
Another eloquent tribute to a fell
low member of the association was eN-
pressed by Mr.. Ashcroft when he ten
dered a handsome loving cup to j. NJ.
