county was organized but what her
patriotic sous have rallied to the
bugle call of their country.
What tremendous r e s u Its
have followed the Mexican war!
The territory ceded to the United
States by Mexico has now many
states and millions of prosperous
and happy people and the products
of the soil represent untold bil¬
lions of moi-ey.
Of course Newton county is
proud of the record made by her
sons in the Indian war, Mexican
war, war between the states and
the Spanish war.
And the good women of Newton
and the Daughters of the Confed¬
eracy will ever honor the memory
of her gallant sou9 who did their
duty in the country’s hour of nee-i.
And I trust the day will never
come when our young men will
cease to cherish the memory of
their ancestors, who have made
glorious the record of the soldiers
from the county named for that
revolutionary hero, Sergeaut New¬
ton.
Respectfully,
Lucius L. Middeebbook

In keeping with ite reputation
for brilliant annual banquets, Cov¬
ington Lodge No. 1 l 8 Knights of
PythiftB acquitted itself in splen¬
did style Wednesday evening with
what is generally conceded to be
the most brilliant and successful
■flair in the history of the lodge
in this city.
The beauty and chivalry of this
city was fully represented on
this occasion and the opera house
presented a scene of rare loveli¬
ness with the throng of fair and
handsomely gowned ladies and the
many Knights.
The tables fairly filled the large
auditorium and were arranged to
f'-rm the letters K. P., and it was
around this generous board that
the assemblage gathered to partake i
of the feast of niaterit! things and
the flow of sparkling conversation
and interesting talks trom several
ol the well knowu Knights of the
sity.
Mr. T G Callaway presided as
toast master, discharging the duties
in a graceful manner,and after seat

Knights a characteristic Pythian

in splendid manner "Con¬

ings and principles of Pythiamsm.
His remarks were timeiy ai.d of
the greatest importance.
Mr. Miles G Turner was then
introduced and responded to the
toast always popular with Knights,
"The Ladies,” and this gifted
speaker held his audience aloft in
a flow of eloquence that is seldom
surpassed. It is hardly possible
to say more than that Mr Turner
did full aud complete justice to
his subject.
The tables were decorated in the
Pythian colors, blue, yellow and
red, and were made additionally
attractive by flowers, while a
flood ot mellow light came from
scores of candelabra from one
end of the tables to the other.
The event was a splendid social
one and the attractiveness of the
entire affair was heightened by a
well chosen musical program ren¬
dered by Mrs Proctor and Miss
Willie Thee Ross.
When the last course had been
served, the last eloquent speech
closed and ranks were broken for
taocne, the hour was late, but the
Knights were happy because of the
pleasure they had afforded their
friends, and were congratulated

SLUMPED WAY DOWN
But there is Still Good Money in the Barn
Yard Industry in this Section.
The local egg market has fallen
several points within the last few
days. This may have been caused
by an over supply coming in after
The Enterprise article last week or
by outside cause. However, it is
noted that the price has fallen in
all sections of the state, which is
no doubt the indication of unusual
activity on the part of the hens.
Still, the chicken and egg industry
is a splendid side line for any act¬

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?
If people were born right arul after¬
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One tiling more. When a pc rson lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weal;ness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med¬
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de¬
rangements. This is the most that med¬
icine can do.

the number of fowls and giving a
little mere attention to the barn¬
yard denizens, even when the
prices are down to the present
figures. And it must be borne in
mind that the price of chickens is
still good and those who have
enough to put some on the market
find that ready money is always
available through that source.
Mr. W. L. Adair left Thursday
fur New York to look after some
i business matters and he will b e
absent for about two weeks.
If a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude of people who will not or can¬
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta¬
tion of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired seme chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about a cure.
The whip docs not increase the power
of the horse to pull a load, but judi¬
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with¬
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
Thi3 illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys¬
tem. Taken at the right time, it call#
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi¬
tute medicine in the place of right liv¬
ing. In (lie end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right tima
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know liow to use Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will get wiso enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
tho world i3 approaching that perfec¬
tion in Which ail medicine will be elim¬
inated, Peruna is a handy remedy ta
have in the house.
Slight derangements of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubo3, lungs or bow¬
els; these attacks are sure to lead ta
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.

solicited testimonials from people whe
