LANHAM & SONS, 245 Broad St., ROME, GA, CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. THE CENSUS-TAKING. Rabbi David Klein, 526 E. Main street, Columbus, O, writes the following to Dr. Hartman In regard to Pe-ru-na: “It affords me great pleasure to testify to the curativo morits of your medicine. Pe-ru-na is a well-tried and widely used remedy. Especially as a specific for catarrh of the stomach it cannot be excelled. Pe-ru-na will do all that is claimed for it." Rabbi David Klein. People afflicted with catarrh of the stomach complain of lassitude, all-tired- ont feelings, their blood becomes thin, nervous system deranged, food seems to do them no good, oontlnuoas and in creasing weakness. The unfortunate victim wonders why he should he so weak, why his food gives him no strength, why his blood should be so thin. Mr. Alex. Carter of Van Buren, Carter Co, Mo, says: “I had been troubled with dyspepsia and indigestion sinco 1879. The best physicians in the country could do no good. I visited the Mullanphy hos pital in St. Louis 'and received no benefit. The at tending physi cian told me I had narrowing of the outlet of tho stomach, and the only remedy was to have it cutout, which I refused to have done. I then visited West Baden, Ind.j Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico; Sweet Springs, Mo, and Monitou, Col. I also took a great many different kinds of medicine recommended for dyspepsia, but found no relief. Last February I read a testimonial for Pc-ru-na in tho Central Baptist that suited my case and I determined at once to try it. I have taken two bottles of Pe-ru-na and four of Man-a-lln, and I feel like a new man. None of my friends believed I would get well. I would not take any money for the good your remedies have done me." In catarrh of the stomach, os well as in catarrh of any other part of tho body, Pe-ru-na is the remedy. As it has often been said, if Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh of one part, it will cure catarrh of any other part of tho body. “Summer Catarrh" sent free by Pe- ru-na Drug M’f’g Co., Columbus, O. 1 OVER 52.000 ENUMERATORS NOW AT WORK For Unde Sam, Counting the Popu lation of His Vast Domain. BOTH WERE KILLED. Bloody Tragedy in the Streets of Carrollton. Carrollton,Ga.,June 8.—I.ast night a tragedy occurred here which caused the death of two young men. The chief policeman, Ben H. Crider, while trying to arrest Mr. Thomas Jordan, from the country .was shot three times, each shot taking effect in Mr. Crider’s chest and abdomen. Jordan was drunk and disorderly. When Jordan began firing, Crider drew his revolver and shot Jordan as he fell. Both men expired shortly. The eause of the tragedy is supposed to have arisen from an arrest made by Marshal Crider some three years ago of Mr. Jordan for disorderly conduct on the streets of Carrollton. The tragedy occurred about 8 o’clock at night and Mr. Leon Hood, a by stander, who attempted to take Jor dan’s pistol from him when the sboot- ng took place, received a llesh wound in the lower leg. Both Jordan and Crider were raised in this county and belong to promi nent families. The community is shocked over the occurrence. Mr. Crider had been a policeman of this city for a long time, and made a most efficient and courageous officer. Mr. A. C.

After the Grip—“After the grip I nvas noeak, suffered from catarrh and was run down. In a week after I began taking Hoofs Sarsaparilla I felt "stronger. It relieved the catarrh and gave me an appetite.” John Roberts, Ionia, Mich. Miss Alma Darnell and Miss Nelia Simpson ore visiting friends in Villa Rica, Donglasville and Cedartown.— Tallapoosa Journal. Unless food is digested quickly it will ferment and irritate the stomach. After each meal take a teaspoonful ol Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and will allow you to eat all yon need of what yon like. It never fails to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia. It is pleasant to take. E. Bradford. The exact number of census enumera tors now at work is 52,031. Pennsylva nia leads the list with 4,076; New York comes next with 4,492.

Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University or Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain (from alum baking powders) in the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the process of digestion. I rt^ gard the use of alum as highly injurious.” Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A substance (alum) which can derange the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder.” Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist: “ I believe it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of food articles.” Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “I regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking powders as most dan gerous to health.” In view of such testimony as this, every care must be exercised by the housewife to exclude the over and over condemned cheap, alum baking powders from the food. made from cream of tartar, which is highly refined grape add,are promotive of heal fit, and more efficient No other kind should be used in leavening food.

She was be loved by all who knew her. In her happy girlhood, self-forgetfulness and thoughtfulness of others characterized her every act; time and age only strengthened these qualities; her genial nature was unebiiled, and her love for her friends was as fresh as in her girlhood’s happy days. She developed into a sweet Chris tian woman, each day being full of Christ-like acts and words. She was always ready to aid the weak, lighten the burden of the heavy-laden, and one who brought the most smiles and the fewest tears into this world. All who came to her home received th. very best she had, and the same genial cordiality was extended to the one who came in the meanest grab as to the richly clad guest. Her’s was a beautiful life, one that we each might profitably pause, study and try to copy. Tho’ the sickle came unexpectedly, she was ready for the harvesting, and to her must have come the weclome, “well done, thou good and faithful servant,” “enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Only another tie drawing us nearer, nearer home. M. D. STREET INCIDENT. “My dear sir,” exclamed Lawyer Bartholomew Livingston, meeting the Rev. Archibald Windham on the village street, “what does this mean? I thonght yon were laid up with all sorts of bad diseases!” “And so I was,” replied the reverend gentleman, “I had an attack of indiges tion and from that time on my whole system has been in a disordered condi tion until I began taking Hood’s Sarsa parilla, which has put me on my feet and enred all my stomach troubles.” “I don’t doubt it,” said the lawyer. 'This same medicine cured my wife of rheumatism and my little girl of scrof ula. When they say it’s the best med icine money can bay, they only tell the truth.” Yes, yes. so they do,” replied the minister, and the two passed on. ‘Adam.” said Eve, "yon can stay at home evenings now, and take care of the baby, instead of staying ont so late at the Simian Clnb.” Then it was that A dam began to raise Cain. Would Not Suffer So Again fur Filly Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning to Miller & Mc Curdy’s drag store, they recom mended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing 1 ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endnre the suffer ings of last night again for fifty times its price.—G. H.

Mr. Taylor was among the number who attended the recent Confederate . veterans’ reunion in Louisville, which be greatly enjoyed. He has in his possession a number of old letters which he wrote to home folks while fighting for the South during the ’60s, and we are glad to have the privilege of publishing the following,' written while a wounded prisoner after the battle of Gettysburg:— Chester, Pa., July 30th, 1863. Dear Parents:—I wrote you a short letter while at Gettysburg. On tho I4th inst. I was sent from there to the city of Baltimore; stayed there two days, then came to this place, when for the first time since I was wounded I had the op portunity of bathing and pntting on some clean clothing. I am now in the nicest hospital I ever saw. I have a nice bed to lie on, and get all the atten tion that.is necessary. My wound is getting well very fast. 1 have a pair of crutches and can hobble about any where I choose. I saw a member of the 35th Ala. Calvary just from Ft. Delaware yester day. He says Dick Asbury and Henry Clyatt are both there. He said they were in very good health. I am afraid I will not get back to Dixie in time enough to get a furlough, formy wound is improving very Oust, and I guess I won’t be exchanged until I get well. Some say that exchanging prisoners has entirely ceased, but I hope it will commence again pretty soon. I have got separated from all my company ex cept one; Sergt. Cornelius is still with me. I don’t know where the others are. I am still in good spirits, and I hope it will not be long before I see you all. I have seen Charlie Taylor; he was slightly wounded and taken prisoner. Joel was capturod; Jim was wounded but followed our army; Lnm was either killed or wonnded and taken; John Morgan was killed. I will let you hear Iroin me every chance I have. I don't want you to be troubled about me, for I am confident that I will get back sale. Your aflectionate son, W. I.
