Tell What They Know of Catarrh and Pe-ru-na, Hon. Porter Johnson, who has served four years as State Senator from the Fourth District in the city of Chicago, Ill., and who also is the first Democratic Senator ever elected from that district, writes: “lean heartily recommend Pe- ru-na as a catarrh cure. It cures when all other remedies fail. I applied to several doctors, but they were not able to cure me. HON. EDWARD DWYER. [Senator 17th District, Chicago, III.] Hon. Edward Dwyer, State Senator, Seventeenth Senatorial' District, Chi cago, HL, writes: “Pe-ru-na cures when all other remedies fail. I can heartily recommend Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem edy. It has been two years since I was cured, and I consider my cure perma nent. I took the remedy for two months and am now entirely cured. I applied to several doctors, but they were not able to core me. I tried many remedies without avail. “My catarrh was located chiefly in the head. I was afflicted with catarrh for seven years.” Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever lo cated. Who is it that says Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh wherever located ? Doctors say it, lawyers say it, preachers say it, a vast army of men and women say it who have tried it. The old and the young say it. They say it in the east, in the west, they say it in the north and the HON. PORTER JOHNSON. [Senator 4th District, City of Chicago, Ill.] “ I took the remedy for fifteen weeks and am now entirely cured. It has been a year and a half since I was cured, and I consider my cure durable. I was afflicted with the catarrh for five years. My catarrh was chiefly located in the stomach.” Send to The Pe-ru-na Medicine Com pany, Columbus, O., for Dr. Hartman’s latest free book on chronic catarrh, la j grippe, etc. Miss Minnie Young, of Cedartown, is the agreeable guest of Mrs. T.

Our plan has been to bor row money as needed, thereby avoid ing' the payment of interest only for such amounts as needed for immediate use. We are of the opinion that in the near future, if we have no unforeseen disasters, the conntj will bo in shape to pay all her expenses without bor rowing a dollar. Bespeetfnlly snbmitteed, D. M. Russell, Chairman Beard of Com. R. & R. The County School Commissioner makes the following report: Some in creased interest in the public schools is noticeable throughout the county each successive year. Onr people are realiz ing more and more the importance of-the education of their children, and the valne of the common schools. The physical conditions are yet very poor in many communities. We have been able to makesome improvements daring the past year. A good convenient house has been knilt at Hamlet, and fnrnished with good desks, etc. Ar rangements were made to erect good buildings at Antiocb, Esom Hill and Aragon. The building at Antioch is about completed. Mnch more might have been accomplished had it not been for the low price of onr staple money ert p i 1 1897 and ’9S. We held monthly connty teachers’ association meetings daring the school term the past year, and a summer institnte at the Samuel Bene dict Memorial School. The attendance on all these meetings was very good, and teachers took an active interest in the work ontlired. On the whole, onr teaching force is increasing in effi ciency and systematic work. This is attributable in large measure to these monthly meetings and yearly institutes. The daily attendance of pnpils last year was greatly interfered with by the inclement weather in the spring. In the summer the schools were very full. The yearly average was very fair. All the schools were visited as reqnired by law, some of them two or thiee times. I found most of them doing good systematic work, and tried to give such counsel and direction as wonld be most helpful and beneficial. With the re turn of better times, we hope to ac complish more for permanent improve ment this year than in any year since the organization of onr common schools, and earnestly beg the hearty co-operation and support of the patrons of every school community in the county.

No farm work has been done as yet this tk 7,269.30 ... 3,402 47 Total 1 §13,1:57.47 Respectfully submitted, J. E. IforsEAL, C £j. C. March 1'th, 1900. The report of the committee on pau per farm and buildings is made a part of these presentments, as follows: We find five inmates, one white and four colored. The white inmate is Tom Woozencraft, who is hopelessly idiotic. The keeper of the farm has persistently urged the colored inmates, all of whom are male, to clean up their quarters, bnt they pay little attention to his di rections, and their place is very filthy. season except cleaning up. We would recommend that four or five more acres of land be cleared, and placed in culti vation. The old mule at the farm is too decrepit to make a crop, and we recom mend that it be disposed of and one purchased able to do the farm work. We find a good one-horso wagon, 25 bushels of com and 500 bundles of fod der at the larm. The following report of the commit tee on public bnildings is made a part of these presentments: We have ex amined the condition of the court house, and find several bad leaks, which we recommend be stopped at once. We find that the cracks in the building, to which frequent reference has been made by previous grand juries, do not seem to be increasing in size, We find the sanitary. condition of the jail very bad on account of the plumb ing getting ont of repair, and we re commend that this disgusting and filthy condition be remedied at once. It seems that some of the prisoners are responsible for this condition through their acts of wilful and malioious mis chief, and we recommend that the sheriff try to find out the perpetrators of this damage, and confine them in iron cages of the jail. Certain prison ers have maliciously broken ont win dow panes, and should be suitably pun ished. Some of the wood work of the porch is decayed, and some of the brick work out of repair, all of which we re commend should be placed in good con dition at once. We find that most of the public roads of the connty are in very bad condition, and that the present method of work- them by throwing to the center of the road dirt from the sides at certain times of the year, does not produce permanent or good results. We further find that on most all of the roads there are many places much narrower than the law requires, so narrow in fact that it impossible for teams to pass each other at said places. We therefore re commend and nrge that, in the first place, all of the narrow places be wid ened to the full width reqnired by law, and next that the Commissioners be re quired to have the roads worked and re paired, not only at certain fixed times in the year, bnt at all and any times when they may need repairing; and further, that all the bad places, depres sions and holes be marked off* during the winter season, when such places are most painfully evident, and then filled immediately, or at other convenient times, not merely with dirt, but with crushed rook covered with good gravel, so that each piece of work done may be of a more lasting and permanent char acter. We recommend the appointment of the following Notaries Public and Ex- officio Justices of the Peace: W. N. Strange to succeed himself in the 1072d district; Woodson H. Morgan to suc ceed E. A. Morgan in the 1518th dis trict; J. N. Torrence to succeed S. A. Edmondson, resigned, in the 1079th district; M. M. Jones to sneeed J. W. Spronll, resigned, in the 1073rd district; B. Jones to succeed himself in the 1223rd district;, Abijak Watson to suc ceed D. A. Hicks, resigned, in the 1409th district. We recommend the appointment of M. Y. B. Ake and J. IC. Davis to suc ceed themselves as members of the County School Board. We recommend the adoption of the Dog Law in Polk connty. We recommend that the Connty Com missioners be instrncted to put an iron fence aronnd the court house yard for the preservation of the trees and lawn, and that they also be instrncted to put both electric lights and water, in cluding lavatory and closets, at court house. We further recommend that the county fnrnisk fuel hereafter for offices of Clerk, Ordinary and School Com missioner. , We recommend that the Commssion- ers be instructed to build an iron or steel bridge over Cedar Creek at the Benedict mill, said bridge to he wide enough for two teams to pass thereon, and that guard rail be re-place at the approach to the new bridge on the Cave Spring road.

We recommend that Clarissa Gibson, colored, be given some support by the county. We recommend that a reverse index be made covering real estate transfers from 1852 to 1889, and that a new land index be made, and that the Clerk he allowed reasonable compensation for this service. We return our sincere thanks to his Honor, Judge Janes, and to Sol. Gen. Roberts and Court Stenographer Nicholes for their uniform kindness and courtesy to us.

THE BEAUTIFUL C VALI EY. Marvelous Industrial Progress of This Live City—Something Ahont Polk’s County Site. Mr. Walter Harper, a clever repre sentative of tlie Rome Tribune, has been spending some time in Cedar- town, and the following appeared as a part of his excellent “write-up” in last Sunday’s edition :— Twenty miles south of Rome, on tlie Chattanooga, Rome & Southern and East & West railroads, is a little city that promises to be the gem city of tlie South in the near future. Its rapid growth at the present time is very phenomenal, and this is just the beginning. It has been known for some time that the ore deposits in this section were very large and of su perior quality, but not until recently have they been developed extensively. The recent developments, made doubly important by the investment of in fluential capitalists, lias given the town an impetus of growth that has been experienced by few towns in the South,and the development is of a kind that will last. Evefy industry on foot lias ample backing and a demand that makes it lasting. Polk county is one of the finest counties in Georgia,and is marvelously rich in fertile lands and mineral. It is a fine wheat section, and the crop sown for this year is tlie most extensive for years. Cedartown, the county site, is beau tifully situated in a high valley at an elevation of about 900 feet above tlie sea level. It is, in what is known as the Piedmont section of the South, a section unexcelled in natural resources by any other in tlie nation. The iron interests of Cedartown are now largely in the hands of tlie Ala bama and Georgia Tron Company, who own the furnace and the most val uable iron mines around Cedartown. They are rapidly improving their plants and buying up new and valu able deposits. ’ There is a plan on foot to extend a spur of tlie Southern railway from Cave Spring to Cedartown, giving a direct freight line for coal and coke from Alabama which will he of very- great advantage. Tlie cotton interests are being de veloped by the Ceylartown Cotton Co. This company now lias 23,000 spindles in operation, making the finest hosiery' yarn that comes from the South. real estate cannot find a more promis ing place to operate in than Cedar town, or one affording more certain returns.

CANCER IS DEADLY! Results Fatally in Nine This fearful disease often first appears as a.mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in ta pll* nt Tnn 1 the breast, too small to attract any UUl Ul I CP A notice, until, in many cases, the deadly _ jiii disease is fully developed. llUre FOUnfl at Lasti Cancer can not be cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although the sore or ulcer—known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. S. S. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : "Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may De imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while. Numerous remedies were used for it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed to follow the others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited. I was advised to try Swift's Specific (S. S. S.), which, from the first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the dreadful affliction, though many years have elapsed, S. S. S. is the only cure for Cancer.—Mss. S. mTidol, Winston, N.
