A WORTHY
“Something New Under
the Sun.”
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders; acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who lias for mauy
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a; treatment which, when faith
fully u.-ed, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and curing all inflammatiou. It is the
only remedy known to science that ac
tually reaches the afflicted parts. This
■wonderful remedy is known as “Snuf
fles* the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles” is the only perfect Ca-
taebh Curb ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently, and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve Hay Fever or
Cold in the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
Consumption-“Suu flies” will save you
if you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
iu any form or stage if used according
to the directions which accompany each
package. Don’t delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and yon will receive spe
cial advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your case
without cost to you beyond the regular

teed Catarrh Cure.”

Commencement at Perry.
.7/ • i_ *
The school year of 1900—01 was
concluded at Perry Public School
last Thursday, with commencement
exercises in the morning and concert
at night;
The programmes prepared were
exceptionally well rendered, and the
attendance was large—at night ev-
ery foot of available space was occu
pied, many standing. Much applause
was given the pupils, and liberal
praise accorded Prof. Driskell and
his assistants, Miss May Hodges
and Mrs. S. P. Bufin.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. I. M. Anld, followed
by an Instrumental duett. ThegSa-
lutatory, an exceedingly well, written
paper, was then read , by Miss Blos
som Davis,
Interspersed with music, were dec
lamations as follow^:
“The South During the Revolu
tion”—Carey Andrew;
“Man’s Material Triumph”—Ira
Nunn.
“Emmett’s Defense”—Jack Holtz-
claw.
“The New South”—John Hodges.
“Washington”—Gordon Rogers.
Valedictory, an exceptionally good-
paper, Miss Gussie Riley.
The exercises were concluded yvith
a farewell song by the graduating
class.
The graduating class consisted of
Misses Gussie Riley and Blossom
Davis, John Hodges and (3-oidon
Rogers, they having earned rank in
the order named.
The declamations were in contest
for a geld medal offered by Prof.
Driskell. The boys did exceedingly
well, and we learn the judges expe
rienced considerable difficulty in de
termining who had earned the med
al—awarded to Ira Nunn. As only
one could get the prize, the others
should not feel humiliated in any
degree.
In delivering the diplomas and
medal, Prof. Geo. W. Smith was ex-
ingly happy in his choice of words,
compliments and admonitions.
The evening exercises began at
about 8:30 o’clock, and the audito
rium was crowded to the utmost.
An instrumental duett was follow
ed by an opening address, splendid
ly delivered, by Master Lott Touns-
ley.
The program originally comprised
27 numbers, but several were omit
ted on account of expressed evidence
of impatience at the great length of
the performance.
There were three or four pieces of
instrumental music and six songs;
five recitations, three drills and sev
eral dialogues. The drills, “Flower
Exercise,” “Daisy Drill” and “Daugh
ters of the Regiment,” ware excep
tionally pretty and exceedingly well
presented. In “Sing Me a Song of
the South” and “Two Very Similar
Twins” Estelle Edwards and Bessie
and Louise Dasher were encored.
We would be pleased to give in
dividual praise to every pupil taking
part in the exercises, as all deserve
high compliments, but that would
occupy more space than we can
spare.
The teachers regret that the pro
gram occupied so much time in its
rendition, from 8:30 to 11, and they
and the pupils were mortified that
the flag drill was cut short by the
expressed impatience of the audi
ence. The exercises are prepared
for .the special benefit of the pupils
and the pleasure of the patrons, and
in order that there be no partiality
shown, every pupil must be given a
part. Therefore it is absolutely im
possible to have a short program,
unless more than one evening is
used.
Taken all together, all who air-
tended join us in saying the exer
cises were exceptionally good, and
that both pupils and teachers de
serve much praise.

Negro Killed at Grovania.
At about 9 o’clock last Monday;
night an excited messenger came to ’
Perry from Grovania and reported
that a negro had been killed there,'
a white man wounded, and that
there was great danger of further
and perhaps greater trouble.
Dr. Holtzclaw went to Elko to at- !
tend the wounded man. Sheriff .
Cooper and Deputy Riley summon
ed about a dozen young men as a;
possee and they, with Coroner Schil- 1
ling, went to the scene of the trage
dy.
Upon their arrival, late at night,
everything was quiet, no indication:
whatever of any further trouble.
Coroner Schilling and Deputy Ri
ley remained at Grovania all night.
Sheriff Cooper and possee returning
home, arriving just as a new day
was dawning.
Tuesday morning an inquest was
held over the body of the dead ne
gro. From the inquest testimony
and reports from Grovania people
we gather the following facts:
Several days prior to the tragedy,
Hence Riley, a negro man of notori
ously bad character, got into a disa
greement with Mr. Baird, the depot
agent at Grovania,, over a matter of-
well-digging, and threatened the
agent with serious bodily injury,
drawing a large knife. A warrant
for the arrest of the negro was is
sued and placed in the hands of
Constable Walter Means of Elko.
Monday an effort was made to ar
rest the negro, he being at work in
a field near Grovania. The negro
refused to submit, and began firing
at the officer with a Winchester ri
fle, the officer shooting also. The
negro exhausted the loads in his rifle
and retreated to his home to get
more cartridges. Constable Means
secured the assistance of several
gentlemen, and together they closed
in on the house, broke in the win
dows and door, fired the contents of
pistols and rifles in a regular fusil-
ade, killing the negro. In the fight
Mr. John Mathews, a farmer of near
Elko, received a flesh wound in one
of his thighs. About fifteen bullets
entered the body and head of the
negro.
Mr. Matbews was hurried to the
train for Elko, where he received
medical attention. It is not believed
his wound need be at all dangerous.
The negro was a desperate char
acter, had served a time in the coun
ty chaingang for stealing a hog, had
been whipped for his threats against
white men, and carried his Winches
ter rifle constantly.
The inquest verdict was that the
negro came to his death by gunshot
Wounds at the hands of parties un
known to the jury.
Unusual Requests.
It is the desire of every newspa
per editor to publish-all the avail
able items of local news, and no
tices of arrivals and departure of
citizens and visitors are promi
nent in the list; Usually such
notices are pleasing to the persons
named. Last Saturday, however,
we were requested by three differ
ent persons, “don’t put it in the
paper.”
A citizen was about to leave
town until Monday evening, biit
he requested us not to mention;'it
in the paper.
A citizen who had been in an
other state about four months,
had just returned home for a short
stay. We asked him a few ques
tions, and then he requested us
not to say anything about his re
turn. .
A young lady who expected to
receive company on Sunday from
a neighboring town. She was ear
nest in her request that the name
of her visitor should not appear
in the paper.
We are up to date, for we have
just received a large sepply of all
kinds of Spices, and the best Trip
le Extracts in Perry. Low prices

In Evergreen Cemetery.
Last Friday morning. at Ever
green cemetery, a precious baby
boy was buried.
On June 29th, 1900, an infant
gladdened tbe home of Mr. and
Mrs- E. J. Thompson, about 5
miles southwest of Perry, and
they called him William Daniel.
On June 6th, 1901, the Heavenly
Father called the, precious boy to
his eternal home. The little fel
low had been sick only three
days.
All that medical skill or tender
nursing could suggest or do was
without avail * 4 the child was want
ed in Heaven.
This bereavement is especially
sore to the loving parents, as he
was their-only child, they having
suffered a similar bereavement
scarcely more than a year ago.
Human sympathy cannot as
suage the great sorrow of the pa
rents, but only He can give com
fort who said “Suffer little chil
dren to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the king-
domjof heaven.”
The bereaved parents have the
tenderest sympathy of their many
friends.
