For several years for a case of Piles
Boils, Outs, Burns, Bruises, Sore and
Fevered Breast, Old Sores, Insect Bite
or Sting, Ringworm or Tetter, that Mrs
Pope’s Mullen Salve would not
cure, but so far we have been agreeably
disappointed. The verdict of all who
have used it is that it’s the one quick,
absolute and perfect healer. Nothing on
earth like it. Nothing sensational or
fakey about it. It stands on its merit
It is put up in a neat and pretty pack
age. Use it. Your money back if you
are not satisfied. If your druggist does
not have it in stock,send us 50 cents, and
we will send you a large box by mail.

honor were bestowed upon four
teen Confederate veterans last
Monday afternoon, in the Mason
ic building in Perry.
The ceremonies were under the
direction of the Houston Chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy,
Mrs. F. M. King, president, pre
siding.
By the President the speaker
of the day, Capt. James W. Math
ews of Fort Valley was introduc
ed. The address was admirably
fitted to the occasion, and elicited
hearty encomiums.
Mrs. King then delivered an ad-
miraable address to the veterans,
and thetf bestowed crosses of hon
or upon 14 Houston ex-confeder
ate Boldiers. This address is pub-

L. S. Tounsley, secretary

an of the Chapter, talked feeling
ly on line with her official station.
There were a number of Houston

many more of like character and
larger attendance will follow.
