A Successful Georgia Truck- Grower in Giving His Experiences Tells of the Pr.cdcal Results in Dollars and Cents. MISS DADE STEGEMAN, OF CHICAGO. Miss Dado Stegoman, Superintendent of the Chicago North Side Woman’s Club, of Chicago, in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, speaks of Pe-ru-na as follows: “ Pe-ru-na has often been used by the members of our club in cases of stomach tronble and general debility—also re cently in cases of la grippe, and always with the most beneficial results. I think a great deal of Pe-m-nar—often recom mend it to my friends, and am glad to say all who have tried it speak a good word for it.” Mrs. Emily S. Carson, Austerlitz, Mich., says: * Dr. S. B. Hartman—Dear Sir: I had been troubled with dyspepsia and indi gestion for many years, and was very much reduced in flesh. I could not eat anything with out the greatest distress after wards. My food would come up and my stom ach became very weak from fasting, as I preferred to go without food rather than suf fer the coiise- least distress, sleep well, and, instead of the living skeleton I was, I am now a healthy, fleshy woman. This was in 1889, and I have continued well ever since. I have not been without youi remedy in the house since my recovery, I advise all sufferers to do as I did and be cured. Mr. John P Schmidt says: u Pe-ru-na has saved my life. For five years the best doctors had pronounced me incur- a b 1 e. I suffered with a complica- Application for Charter. State of Georgia, County of Polk. To the Superior Court of said county: The petition of G. W- Featherstoii, of said state and county, and C. E. James, of the stale of Tennessee and county of Hamilton, respectfully shows: 1st. That they desire, for themselves, their associates, successors and assigns, to become incorporated under j.be name and style of Thk (J. W. Fkatjiekston Mi vino Com ran v.. 2d. The. term for which petitioners ask to he incorporated is twenty-five years, with the privilege of renewal at the end ol that time. 3d. The Capital Stock of the corpora tion is to be Ten Thousand Dollar*, divided into shares of One Hundred Dollars each. Said stock to be paid by three miles of railroad ready for use, together"with the commissary and all machinery, tools, washers, and the en tire Wray Mining Company plant. Pe titioners, however, ask the privilege of , . increasing said Capital Stock, from time Harriet, don t yon know a wo- to time, not exceeding in the aggregate I man can’t throw straight?' Yon had ntv-Five Thousand n a. i .i. T qnences. I could get no rest by day nor sleep by night. I tried every remedy advertised for the euro of dyspepsia without the least benefit. At last I got liottle of Pe-ru-na. I confess I had no faith in it, as I had been so often disap pointed ; but in a day or so I felt much Improved. Food did not distress me as before. I continued its use, and, after using a dozen bottles, I was a well Woman. I can eat anything without the tion of diseases— palpitation of the heart, nervousness, weakness and dys- pepsia. A few bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin cured me. Pe-ru- na cannot be beaten. I give your medicine to my children for the various little ail ments which annoy little ones, and the result is that they are never sick, but always strong and healthy. I have gained- forty pounds since taking P» -ru-na.” So many people have what is called dyspepsia without haviiig the slightest suspicion that catarrh of the stomach is the cause. Such people take pepsin and a thousand other things, vainly hoping to get well. But the catarrh remains, and of course the dyspepsia remains. Pe-ru-na cures these cases permanently by removing the cause, which is catarrh. Pe-ru-na has cured more cases of dys pepsia than any other remedy in the world.

Merriam, who rnns a hillside farm near Atlanta, on the Southern Bail way, in the conrse of an interesting talk made some eye-opening statements. In view of the location in Polk county of cotton factories and the iron develop j ments—the furnaces and ore washers — i the time is at hand when track and ! market gardening will he greatly stirra , luted throughout the eonnty. There is money in it, - especially in Polk, if the red old clay banks of Fulton eonnty can make the following remarkable showing:— v “If a man will but studj his ground he will find it to he fully as entrancing as study of books. Through marriage I became connected with a small farm. With my brother-in-law I broke ground in 1803 to meet the market demands in Atlanta. That year I made only §500, but §115 which I received from 250 hills of cucumbers convinced me that I was on the right track. The next year my sales went np to $1,924 29. I get $500 from one acre which I had planted in potatoes. The next year, 1895, marketed $3,329 worth of vegetables. This year I found lettuce to be the best si 1< r, getting $791.40 on that article. It was in 1890, howevei. that I struck Inck and gained the .final conviction that there is money in the land when the farmer studies his surroundings. In that year ] sold $5,008 worth of stuff,—$704,GO came from lettnee, $583 from turnip salad and $404 from beets. I keep books strictly, and find that it costs me exactly one-third of what I raise to pay the necessary expenses, including repairs. In 1897 prices were low and the more ordinary vetegetables were in demand, bnt even nnder this stringency I made $4,738.00. Of thi«, $529.55 came from three acres planted in tomatoes, $398.90 from beans and $329.55 from turnips. 1898 found the market still depressed, bnt I made that year $4,794.20, of which $732.00 came from turnip salad and $501 from col- lards. This year, notwithstanding the very bad season we had in the spring monthp, up to the 1st of August- I have sold $4,138.55 worth, $600 of which came from one acre planted in cabbage, and I intend to pocket a round $10,000 this year out of my little farm. Georgia soil under a system of deep plowing and thorough tillage will pro duce fine crops. Our red clay subsoils are rich in plant food. The Georgia ‘Cr<p. er’ has been plowing for years down to what he called “the hard” and this same hard subsoil has been absorb ing all these years the plant food from the thin layers of cultivated ground as it was packed down by the heavy rains, until to-duy it is ready by the magic of modern improved farming to yield np its riches in crops that will astonish the civilized world. We have striking examples of this in the farms scattered here and there over the State, which appear like oases in deserts of surround ing barrenness. Farms where thrift is the order of the day, and owners look personally after every detail, are object lessons of what we may expect when the community at large becomes better educated in modern farm methods. And the fact.that these successful men ore still progressing, their crops are growing larger, their land richer and their net profit at the close of the year shows a corresponding increase, goes to prove that no limit can be placed upon the productiveness of onr soil and the wealth and prosperity,as an agricultural community, that we may finally aspire to.”—Southern Frail. HUSHING BUSINESS. Tlie East & West. Railroad Receives New Freight Cars. There has been a gennine boom on in the bnsiness of the East & West rail road. The bnilding of the new cotton mills at Cedartown and Aragon, the starting of the furnaces at the former place, and the starting np of the in numerable iron mines along the ronte, are the cause of the boom. On account of the continued bad weather, however, ore shipments have fallen off some. The coking industry is alto addin; much bnsiness. There is really a famine of cars on the road. The n ad has just received thirty new coal cars and needs a few hundred more. They cannot be had. Car manufacturers nre away behind with their orders.

Ind., March 8.—Gen eral Lew Wallace, anthor of Ben-Hnr, gave the following interview today at his home at Crawfordville, Ind.: “When the President recommended free trade with Porto Bico, that was William McKinley speaking from his heart; when he urged Congressmen to eat their utterances and vote for a dnty on the industries of the island, going and coming, that was Mark Hanna, the great Ohio suspect. “Either the Porto Bieans are fellow- conntrymen, or people in'relation to us not yet defined. If fellow countrymen, free trade should govern in all our deal ings with them, and their institutions should have been Amercanized, some thing impossible while nnder military control.If they are in relations unknown and undefined, and poor and helpless, then charity, the essence of Christian ity, shonld have had the molding of our policies. “It is idle talking about the island being outside the constitution. Is Congress the creature of the consti tution, or the constitution a device of Congress? It is unfortunate that none of the men who were invited to see the President and came away converted has told us of a word dropped by the President in explanation of his own conversion, “It is not pleasant to think of the President exerting himself to control the action of an independent branch of the government. What shall stop him next from an interference with the Judges of the Snpreme Court? ■“It is yet more pleasant to learn from their admission that a request from the President should be accepted by Con gressmen as an imperial order, before which objections founded in conscience are blown away like smoke from a gun.” A.
