Poor old Halley’s Comet!
Every disaster since January ist,
19101 has been blamed on it and
we don’t wonder at it not com.

Any man who, by word or
action, attempts to prejudice the
people of the rural districts
against their neighbors and
friends of the towns is not
worthy of citizenship and should
be drummed out of the county.

The “Souvenir Book” Abroad.
Tyler, Texas
May 2, 1910
Dear Jack :
I received your
card, and especially the Souve
nir Book with the earlier and
later history of your county and
city. There is always a fascit
nation to me of the ear'y history
of any town, or section or instil
tution, giving without exageri
ation the hardships and struggles
of their beginnings.
Mr. Leon P. Mandeville is
certainly a vigorous, level head
ed wtiter, and widely read and
informed man, I was especially
interested and instructed by his
recital of the division and strife
in the Creek tribe of Indians
under their chief, McIntosh,
and his final and brutal assina-
tion by some of the opposing -
faction.
Also, of the embroylio be'
tween Gov. Troupe in behalf of
the State ot Georgia, and Pres.
John Q Adams and his allusion
to the firey and turbulent cam
paign between Troupe and
Clarke, which convulsed all
Georgia,
Carroll County owes much to
Mr. Mandeville for hi? patient
resourcetul and well written
sketch ot its early days. - I don’t
know any county in the South
that has a better write up, and
while it is necessarily shorter it
ranks with the celebrated “Am
nual of Newberry” in South
Carolina written by Judge John
Belton O’Neale.
The above is an extract from
a letter received by Mr. J. S.
Travis from Jhis brother-in-law,
Capt. Ed. W. |Smith, of Tyler,
Texas. Capt. Smith is a veteran
of the 6o’s, having served in
Douglas Texas Battery. He was
in nearly every battle from Mis
sion R’dge on down to Atlanta,
and in the hard struggles around
our Capital City, and went with
Hood to Franklin, Tenn,, where
he was captured.

your floors with Stain Floor,
the kind you can hammer and
never break the varnish, call
and he convinced. For Sale by

Carrollton Chautauqua.
The Carrollton Chautauqua
will have a variety in the pro’
grama.
The Carrollton Chautauqua ia
possible only byja number of our
business men guaranteeing its
expenses and the advance sale
of tickets as all know the Cham
tauqua will bring to our city—
lecturers, quartetts, musicians,
that can |only be obtained by
such a guarantee. It may not
be amiss to state that this Chau-
taqua will be conducted without
a thought of commercialism, its
single purpose being to advance
the standard ot entertainment
and tor its educational influence
in our city and county.
We hope that all will come
forward and make our first Chau
tauqua a grand success—show
ing our spirit of progressiveness
when it comes to building up
our city and county in the edu
cational liae,

THE MOTHER’S PROBLEM
Of liaising Strong, Healthy Girls.
A serious problem which presents It
self to every mother with girls to raise.
In these days. The exigencies of school
life, the hurry and routine of every-day
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make It moro
dilllcult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever In the history of the world.
Boys jaise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls presont a ser
ious problem.
How many mothers ttiere aro who are
worrying about tlielr daughters. Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
auxtoty to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help? Each case Is more or
less a study by Itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This Is the wny one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Sehopfer, 5020 Prescott
Avo., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr.
Hartman, says: “My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna sho grow strong
and well."
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R. F. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: “Our little eight-year-old girl
had a had cough, and was in a genoral
run-down condition.” She had several
doctors, who could give (lie child no re
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Poruna
and commenced giving It to the child,
and It proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says sho is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: “Yon hava
done a great deal for her. She is tha
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
ns to have hor cured.”
Theso are samples of many letters
which Dr. Hartman Is receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes rightsteadlly on giving permanent
relief. After all, It is cures that tha
peoplo want. Theories ara of - UlUa
account.
