IL was the alcohol that cured both on
you. Your mother evidently was cured
of a very serious ailment. Peruna con.
tains alcohol 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her, or at least
helped to. The other ingredients OF
Peruna might have assisted. no doubt

There has been SO much said about al

assumed that there is something terri

that most all fluid medicines, whether
prescribed by a doctor or put up as a
patent medicine. contain a certain
amount of alcohol. II was alcohol that
cured your mother. IT was alcohol that

some form or other Is making more
cures than all other drugs combined.
This is not saying, however, that Pc
runa contains only alcohol. for It does
contain excellent remedies, besides al
cohol. But do contend that the alco-
hol in Peruna Is not only not harmful to
those who take II. but IL taken in the
doses prescribed on the bottle II will do
a great deal OF good and there is not
the slightest danger of forming a

Politics Warming Up.

The Uuion county political pct has commenced to boil and already there are four candidates for eoun- ty clerk, three for circuit clerk and three for county judge mentioned. Those for county clerk are Walter Hudson, A. P. Reynolds, J. J. Craig and T. c. Rowland; for cir cult clerk B. P. Niles, Wm. MeRae and A. D. Murphy; for county judge w. M. VanFiook, J. w. Harmon and Henry Yocum. T. A. Gibson expects to make the race for rep resentatiye and pr. w. J. Pinson will also be candidate for reelec- ton. It is hardly probable that Judge E. o. Mahony. prosecuting attorney. J. M. Wallace. sheriff and Finn Craig. treasurer will be oppos- ed as they are serving their first terms. We have heard of no avowed candidate for tax collector but presume the usual number ten or twelve will make the race.

Falls Heir 10 Estate.

Through niece in Texas. J. R. Cole one of the oldest settlers in Union county who resides between Huttig and Strong has received word that he has been advertised for for number of years by parties in Alabama to inform him that he has fallen heir to what is thought to be large sum Of money and 8 yalu- able estate owned by his mothers uncle.
 MT. Coles mother died when he was two weeks old and shortly afterward his father moved from Alabama to Warehouse parish Louisiana. His mothers uncle who was well to do at the time wanted to adopt and raise him as he had no heir but his father would not hear of 1t.
 MT. Cole moved from Warehouse parish tn Union county in 1864 or 1865 when he was about 20 years of age and lost all track of his mothers uncle until recently When his neice in Texas noticed an advertisement asking his where abouts and knowing the facts in the case corresponded with him.
 Mir. Cole. has always worked hard for a living and we sincerely hope that the property left him will be sufficient to keep in ease the balance of his days. He has four daughters living as follows: Mrs M. L. Phillips, Huttig; Mrs. A. D. Vestal and Mrs. John Hendricks, Strong; and Miss Neoma who lives at home.

William Jennings Bryan tells a good story at his own expense of a time when he was not as well known as he is now.
 A widely admired campaign speaker in Nebraska who has been billed to make the principal address at political gathering at Lincoln, was obliged. at the last moment, on account of illness, to send word that he could not keep the appoint ment. It chanced that MT. Bryan was selected to fill his place Naturally MT. Bryan felt some nervousness, knowing that he was to act as substitute for an older and much better known speaker and apprehension was not lessened when he heard himself thus an nounced by the chairman:

 The Cucumber.

The cucumber is a small. vifulent vegetable which is at this time pre- pairing to enter the midst of the American people and produce spirit of unrest.
 The cucumber is produced by the cucumber vine which holde the Marathon record among the qege- tables. The cucumber vine begins as two small oval leaves and re- mains quiet for week after com ing up. Then it begins to run. Nothing is more impressive than to watch determined cucumber vine making dash for the nearest fence while it's worried owner is trying to herd 1t back into the gra- den. Life is not worth living to the cucumber vine except on the other side of the fence. It is passionately fond of travel.
 After the cucumberavine has run until it's pursuers are out of breath it produces large yellow flowers which in turn produces cucumbers. The cucumber is no larger than peanut to begin with and if taken at this age and dealt with firmly is not harmful But it grows larger until 1t becomes as large as an obese banana and as green and as hard as an infant watermelon. In this stage it is sliced up by daring people and is eaten with vinegar and salt.
 The cucumber is not nourishing and is eaten merely for excitement. Sometimes it is cool and soothing to the interior, while at other times it causes it's devourer to coil ID in- ], to hard knot and pass violently away. However, the cucumber when captured in it's youth and embalmed in vinegar can be ren- dered harmless and interesting to the taste. Millions of young cu- Gumbers are made into pickles each year and become the sole nourish- ment of the blithesome school girl. Many red-nosed ruin who can absorb quart of stimnlants a day has looked upon blooming senior ess devcuring her eleventh pickle and has murmured gosh in tones of entire awe
 Because of it's willingness to be- come a pickle, the cucumber is of great value to the nation; and be- cause of this latter fact is. only too willing to turn yellow and die before arriving at the age of discretion.
 A cucumber vine is as delicate as turkey chick, and expires for even more frivolous reasons. Be tween the bug. in it's infancy, and the school girl later on, the cu- cumber is continually passing from the midst of life to death, and we should not envy 1t for it's carefrce existence.
