V Liable to Break The first rail for the new elec tric railway was laid near the SontDern depot last Thursday af ternoon in the presence of a num ber of citizens and officials of the railway company . The first spike was driven by Col.- H. H. Dean, the second by Judge W. N. Dyer, the third by Aldermen L, D. Puckett. The street railway hands then began the work in ear nest, under the supervision of Mr. J A. Kidd, and there will be no cessation in the work until the tracks are all down. 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.

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. Address Dr. Hartman, President of 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. - . . A Great Developer. 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.

I “Whenever 1 am overworked or suffer from the consequences ot co/da few doses of Peruna builds me up again more quickly than wythlng I ever tried. I find it especially valuable for catarrh # - \hree bottles cured me three years ago of catarrh oil the stomach and .have never had the least symptoms of it since.” \ Very truly, FRANK DUNN* Aldermen 24th Dist., N. Y. City. Judge W. N. Dyer last Thurs day bought two lots on North street from Col. H. H. Dean across the street from his home place. Upon one of these lots he will soon begin the ereetion of a nice cottage.

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.
