STRONG. V
Liable to Break
The first rail for the new elec

ber of citizens and officials of the
railway company . The first spike

Puckett. The street railway
hands then began the work in ear
nest, under the supervision of Mr.

Horn John B. Goodwin was given
a most hearty welcome by the
citizens of the city last Friday
Dight on the occasion of his ad
dress to the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows.
Mr. Goodwin is Grand Sire of
the order, which is the highest
office of the Odd Fellows in the
world. In 1873 he joined the At
lanta lodge, and since that time
has gradually risen in the ranks,
and at the Des Moines convention
in September was elected to the
highest office in the gift of the or
der, He was twice elected mayor
of Atlanta and has been promi
nent in Georgia politics. He has
also made an able record as a law
yer. His address proved his excel
lence as a speaker.
Mr. T. H. Robertson was mas
ter of cermonies and introduced
Mr. Clifton Boone, who delivered
an address of welcome to the dis
tinguished speaker and to the vis
iting brethren. y
Dr. J. W. Oslin introduced Mr.
Goodwin, who for an hour and a
half held the attention of five
hundred Odd Fellows and num
bers of their friends. He paid an
ardent tribute to the principles of
the order.
There were present representa
tives from thirteen visiting lodges
which, with the members of the
local lodge, made the total number
of lodges represented, thirteen.
The program was interspersed
with music, and the occasion was
not only a pleasant, but quite an
auspicious one in the history of
the Gainesville lodge.
a TONIC is a medicine that gives tone
to some part of the system. There
are different kinds of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is so prevalent, is a
tonic that operates on the mucous mem
branes.
Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem
branes of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is a specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is a
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta,
Ga., says:
“In January last I began the use of
your Peruna and Manalinfor what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
time I could scarcely walk to my place
of business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
Had severe pains in my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle of
Peruna I began to improve and today I
feel that I am a sound man and I work
fourteen hours a day without any bad
feeling.”—Paul Landrum.
A. M. Ikerd, an employee of the C. B.
& Q. R. R., West Burlington,la., writes:
“ I had catarrh of the stomach and
small intestines for a number of years.
I went to a number of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that I had cancer of the stomach,
and there was no cure. I almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. I could hardly stand it, it was
so offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and I gradually
grew worse.
“Finally I got one of your books, and
concluded I would try Peruna, and thank
God, I found a relief and a cure for that
dreadful disease. I took five bottles of
Peruna and two of Manalin, and I now
feel like a new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle
in my house ell the time.”—A. M. Ikerd.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give yon his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
Tore Down The Barriers.
The Southern Rail wav, through
its employees, last Thursday put
a wire'fence around it’s right-of-
way at the depot'and thereby stop
ped up several streets. The cltv
authorities promptly took notice
ot the obstructions, and held a
meeting in' the afternoon of that
day, declared the fences a public
nuisance, and tore them down be
fore night. So far as known, no-,
thing further has been heard from
the railroad authorities, and it is
presumed that they are willing to
let a “live wire” alone. - . .

The tragic death of Mr. John H.
Montgomery, president of the Pac-
olet Manufacturing company, -of
Gainesville, which occurred yester-
day, will be the source of deep and.
sincere regret in Georgia and the
South generally. This sad fatality
was the result of a fall sustained
by Mr. Montgomery while attend
ing to some work on the magnifi
cent mill which was erected under
his direction at New Holland
Springs just outside of Gainesville.
This establishment is but one of
the many monuments to the ener
gy and industrial genius of Mr,
Montgomery.
He was the largest and probably
the most famous cotton mill oper
ator in the south, having been at
the time of his death president of
the Pacolet mills in South Caro
lina, Pacolet Mill No. 4, the Paco
let mill at Gainesville, and of sev-
eral other large mills in the south.

A HALLOWE’EN PARTY,
Made Lots ot Cloth.
During the month of October
the Pacolet mill at New Holland
turned but over one-halt* million
pounds of cloth, which breaks the
the record of any other 25,000
spindle mill in the South. The
mill is now running smoothly,
and under the superintendency of
Mr. M. G. Stone, one of the most
capable mill superintendents of
the South, everything moves like
clock work. The capacity will be
greatly increased when all the new
cottagps are completed to accomo
date the additional operatives
needed to do the work. The ad
ditional machinery has already
been purchased.
