Permanently Cured.
C. W. Knaner, of Sbeldoo, la, was
troubled with catarrh for over two
years so that he could only work a
few days at a tune; tried varousdoc
tors without relief. IV-ru-na cured
him fxrmanenfly. Mr*. Thomas
Wiilz, New Brighton, Pa, suffered
with agravated sore throat which the
doctor could not cure. Three bottles
of Pc-ru-na cured her. Bernard
King.National Military Home,Unveil-
wortii, Kos, neglected u severe cold
which developed chronic catarrh.
Tried everything he saw advertised,
to no avail. Pe-ru-tm not only cured
the catarrh, but an old case of bron
chitis. A. F. Carlson, Lindstrom,
Minn,, took a course of treatment
with Pe-ru na for
catarrh of the head
and was cured, lie
delayed reporting
for several months
in order to see if
cure was permanent;
symptoms reap
pearing, he has con
cluded that the cure is permanent.
II. Cox was troubled with catarrh of
the head and bowels. Six bottles of
Pe-ru-na cured him, after fourteen
years of enforced idleness.

The gentlemen stand ready to fur

and proper completion of the work.
They have engines, platform ears,
and all other necessary equipments
for doing the work, and they mean
business. What will tho people of
Thomasville do toward securing this
indispensable outlet for their travel
and their trade? Wo have waited
nearly twenty years, seemingly believ
ing that somebody would generously
build this much desired road, just for
our benefit, and “tho fun of the thing.”
This expectation has not been real
ized, nor is it likely to be. We mast
help ourselves, or submit to the
inevitable inferiority, which awaits
indifference and inaction. Vacant
houses, languishing enterprises, and
the emigration of our young men,
warn as that we have already hesi
tated too long.
We earnestly recommend an im
mediate meeting of the citizens of
Thomasville to determine what an
swer shall be given to this plain,
reasonable and definite proposition.

Following is a copy of the famous
letter which Hon. Alien D. Candler
addressed to a few parties in the
state who were supporters of General
Evans iu his campaign for governor
in 1894:
“Without any solicitation on my
part I find myself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor
of (Georgia. The men who are ladiind
the movement are not the professional
politicians, the men who control, but
the rank and (lit- of our party, tho
great middle class who pay the taxes
and ear tho burdens of government.
I have never seen such an uniting
of the common people in my life.
“It is a rebellion against the men
and their nwlhoiin who ravished the
Democratic party in 1894, and have
dominated it ever sineo, the men
who by methods peculiar to them
selves deprived General Evans of the
nomination after he had fairly won it.
“I was against them and their
methods then and they are against
me now. I therefore feel at liberty
to call on those who stood with mo
by Genera! Evans in the contest to
stand by me now. Wo fought them
in the same phalanx for pure Dem
ocracy and clean methods with
General Evans as our leader. Now
that the same flag has been put intoj
my hand and I am battling as he did j
for the same principles, I invoke that
support for myself that we all gave
the general at that time. Then by
political trickery we lost, now by
united action and honest methods we
will win. We are light and tho peo
ple are with us.
“Many who were with the trick
sters and traders then, disgusted with
their methods^ arc with us now. Let
us therefore bo vigilant and active,
and we will in Oclobei bury them
and their nefarious methods so deep
that tho hand of resurrection will
never reach them.
“Sincerely yours,
Allkn I). Candler.

Now, my dear Uncle Billie, 1 will
Admit that John II. in an honest,
good citizen, but he is not as able to
represent the comity as some men.
So now full in with ns and help us
iu selecting a broad minded, able
man to represent Berrieu county this

Adel, Ga., Feb. 14th, ’98.
My Dear Friend;—I will not
give away your name, 1 will answer
you through the Tifton Gazette.
Well, you admit that John K. is an
honest, good citizen. So honesty is
at a premium, and from this day on
we will call him Honest John, etc.
Now, my dear, Friend, if we run
John II. in the nomination, we will
only claim thut ho is honest. So
now if the spirit moves us to bring
out Honest John, then fall in with
us and work for honesty.
Your Uncle,
