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. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, O., for a copy of Dr. Hart* , man’s latest book on catarrh* — ANY PEOPLE can tolerate slight But this is [I catarrhal affections, * not true of the public speaker or Qger. His voice must always be clear, ngs perfect, digestion undisturbed, ence the popularity of Peruna among te leading professional men and women ! the country. Pritz Vollmer, President Sohwse- Ischer Sangerbund, Chicago, in a re bit letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., SHE KISSED THE WRONG MAN, SHE DID. | “I was greatly troubled for weeks with throat trouble which p doctors defined as catarrh, fit could only give me temporary hlief.

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.
