Some people have nasal catarrh

not be described. Everybody knows
the symptoms without their disgust

Peruna helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Peruna benefits even the
worst cases OF old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases OF nasal ca
tarrh not so evident. One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus IN the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish Jumps
Catch cold easily. Never quite free

a case of subacute nasal cstarrh.

Mr. Yeats has served as township
trustee and assessor for his twonship

In small towns that are adjacent

is an oft-exppressed impression:

In other words, the residents Of
the smaller town and its trade ter

purchases in the stores of the near

growth and development of the home

it by cooperating more closely

NEELY ENCOURAGES
SCHOOL EXHIBITS.


County superintendent Neely is
this week sending out letter to
school teachers urging that exhibits
of school work be prepared in ad-
vance for exhibit at the coming coun-
ty fair to be held here this fall. The
letter is as follows:
Durant, Okla, Apr. 6.
Dear Teacher;
Last year the directors of the
Bryan County Fair Association, 20
encourage and foster better school
work throughout the county, offered
and paid out sixty dollars in cash
prizes for the best specimens of
school work in Bryan county educa-
tional exhibit from each of the
grades. Notwithstanding the fact
that Bryan county schools had never
before presented an exhibit, and
that but few schools were open
early enough to even hastily prepare
TOT such contest, the work show
ed off most complimentary to both
teachers and pupils. We hope to
make much better showing this
year and insist that you do not fail
to select the best specimens of work
from each subject in each grade in
your school and carefully put it away
for next falls exhibit at the fair.
If you are not going TO remain
where you are. collect the work and
leave it in care of the school board
that your successor may send it in,
We want every school represented
in the exhibit at the fair this fall.
Most respectfully.
c. L. NEELY, Co. Supt.

This paper has been authorized to
announce the candidacy OF Henry
McCreary for the office of county
clerk Of Bryan county, reelection.
subject to the action of the voters at
the Democratic primary to be held
August 4. 1914, and his card will be
found in our announcement column
this week under the proper heading.
Mr.. McCreary needs no introduc-
tion to the voters of this county, as
he has been the county clerk for the
past year and a fraction and was an
efficient deputy under Sam Swinney
before he was himself elected to the
office. In such capacity he has made
an acquaintance among the people
of the county. numbering people
from every walk of life in every nook
and corner Of the county.
From a financial standpoint the
county clerks office is probably the
most important in the county for the
reason that the clerk aside from be-
ing the county's purchasing agent
for supplies is a sort of advisory
committee working with the county
commissioners. and it takes level
headed. broad guaged. full grown
man to hold down the job and do
II right. McCreary has shown that
he is such a man. and seeks re-elec-
tion purely upon his record for eff
ficiency. pledging his best efforts in
the county's behalf in all matters
coming before his attention for dis
posal.
In addition to the duties incum-
bent upon this office. after January
first, next. when the abolishment OF
the office of register of deeds goe'
into effect. these duties. which ar,
in themselves cumbersome and i'm.
portant, will fall upon the shoulders
of the county clerk. and then if new
er before, a strong man will be need
ed to properly care for the work Of
the office.
Further than that the recent abol-
, ishment OF township boards in this
county has thrown those duties also
upon the county clerks office fo'
attention, which has. caused an enor-
nous addition of work and worry
with no additional compensation.
No one denies that Mr. McCreary
has been an A No. l county clerk
and this paper takes pleasure in
commencing his candidacy to the
voters of the county for their serious
consideration.
