rf Mrs. R. Eades,
i'- .of 35 Twenty
eighth St., De¬
troit, Mich., is one of the many thou¬
sand of Pe-m-na's friends. This is what
she says to Dr. Hartman:
“ We have used your Pe-ru-na with
the most remarkable results and would
not be without it. We have always
recommended it to our friends. A few
years ago I purchased a bottle of your
Pe-ru-na and after seeing its results,
reoommended it to my grocer who was
troubled with dvspepsta, tne curing of

of jaundice with Pe-ru-na. My pen

tell you of the numerous cures Pe-ru-na
has effected in our immediate vicinity
within the last couple of years.”
Dr. Hartman, President of the Surgi¬
cal Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, will counsel
and prescribe for fifty thousand women

Mr. Marcus Norrb, one of our good
farmers, has had his buggy ull repaired,
repainted aud striped up. We think he
intends to visit the Gioryland and the
big meetings when his crop is laid by.
It is probable that one of Sharon’s best

We heard some old farmers talking,
last week, about, the colored race
managing their own affairs on a farm so
as to make any clear money. They
contended that they could not do it, that
they would buy all they could on credit
and a heap they did not need and realty
they had got so that they did not expect
to clear anything.
Some of the sisters of St. Joseph’s"
convent school and several others of
Sharon enjoyed a nice picnic at the old
mines near Fountain camp ground on
Wednesday of last week. The whole
turnout left Sharon in great glee with the
anticipation cf having a big day,

Sharon Compress Company have not
started their work yet. We understand
there is some misunderstanding about the
land where it is to be put up on. We hear
that a good many think this compress bus¬
iness will not lie any benefit to the farmers
as to getting abetter price for the crop
and we expect thry are right. There has
never been much done for the laboring
cla-s in these large improvements. We
believe cotton factories are a help for
they give more people work, especially
the poor class and where there is more
wuik there is more money.
