'AGO ILLS., SAVED FROM ENTIRE LOSS OF VOICE BY PERUNA.
An Opera Singer’s Experience.
Miss Jennie Hawley, a contralto
singer of great popularity in comic
opera, is one of the many professional
singers who use Peruna. She writes:
Riggs House, Washington, D. C.
“ I regard Peruna as invaluable to
singers and actresses, and all persons
who use their voices in entertaining the
public. I have found it excellent for a
cold or cough.”—Jennie Hawley.
Ex-Congressman C. Pelham, of Ban
croft, Va., writes:
“My sister-in-law has been suffering
from catarrh of the throat for a consider
able time. She has been using Peruna
for about one week, and is manifestly
improved. I believe it is an excellent
remedy for catarrh.”—C. Pelham.
Not only is Peruna of untold value in
cases of laryngitis, but a bottle of Peru
na rightly used in the family during the
winter months is of value untold. Peru
na cures colds, cures coughs, cures la
grippe, cures all diseases due to catarrhal
congestions of the mucous membranes.

Ad amusing and, and at the
same time, embarrassing incident
to the two principals, occnred at
the Southern depot a few nights
ago. A well known citizen was at
tbe depot a few nights ago watch
ing the passengers alight from the
train when he was set upon by a
handsome and dashing young lady
who threw her arms around his
neck and gave him three good,
strong luscious smacks,at the same
time saying, “Why, I am so glad
to see you.” Being duly apprec
iative of a good, luscious smack,
the gentleman, of course, did not
resist the onslaught but was at a
loss to understand his good for
tune. Having a daughter about
the size and makeup cf the young
lady who was so affectionately
caressing him, he decided it must
be that she had suddenly decided
to visit her parents at Gaines
ville, but he couldn’t undersantd
why she should come on the night
train, so he blurted out: “Why,
what in the world is the matter;
-why are you coming up here to
night?,” at the same time gently
leading her to a ’bus. As she
stepped into the vehicle, the elec
tric light flared up and each got a
good view of the other.
“I believe I have made a mis
take,” said the young lady. “I
believe I made a mistake,” said
the gentleman, both doing the Al
phonse and Gaston act. Explana
tions were made hastily. ' The
young lady* expected her brother
to meet her at the train, and as
this man closely resembled him,
she was sure it was he that she
was embracing. They both took
the dry grins, while the spectators
laughed. i
Council Chamber, Oct. SO, 1902.
Council met in special session,
Mayor Parker presiding. Aider-
men J. M. Hubbard, J. L. Wil
liams, L. D. Puckett and S. C.
Dunlap, Jr., present. The meet-
iug was called to consider the fen
cing in of some public driveways
near the Southern depot, by par
ties unknown to the mayor and
council. After discussion, the
following resolution was offered:
“Whereas certain persons unknown
to the city of Gainesville, and without
any authority whatever and without
notice to the city of Gainesville, have
entered on the public lands of the city
at the junction of Maple, Groye and
Davis streets and Railroad avenue,
near the Southern depot and fenced up
the same and placed large timbers and
telegraph poles across the various
streets and driveways so as to prevent
free access from one of said streets to
the other, and closing up driveways
and streets of said«city that have been
in constant use for over thirty years,
and thus causing a great nuisance
which demands abating at once: There
fore be it resolved by the mayor and
council, that the Chief of Police with
such assistance as he may require, pro
ceed to abate said nuisance and remove
said fence, poles and timbers at once
from said maple street to Railroad Av
enue.”
On motion the rules were sus
pended and the above resolution
was read second time and on mo
tion passed. ||§|||
Won Two Prizes at State Fair.
Miss Mary Merritt of Gaines
ville, but who is now teaching art
at a school at Woodbury, Ga., won
two prizes at the recent state fair
at Valdosta. She had on exhibi
tion two paintings, one an oil
painting and the other a water
color, and they were both awarded
first prizes. She is quite an ac
complished artist, and her friends
here congratulate her on her vic
tory at the state fair over so many
competitors.

The Woodmen of the World’s

feased the sentence to $75 or
inety days on the streets. Sto-

iorari the case to the superior
