has become so justly famous in the cure
of catarrhal diseases. It cures catarrh
wherever located. Its cures remain.
Peruna does not palliate; it cures.
Mrs. Frederick Williams, President of
the South Side Ladies’ Aid Society of
Chicago, Ill., writes the following words
of praise for Peruna from 973 Cuyler
avenue, Chicago, Ill.:
“ My home is never without Peruna,
for I have found during the past six
years that there is no remedy that will
at once alleviate suffering and actually
cure, as Peruna does. Pour bottles com
pletely cured me of catarrh of the head
of several years’ standing, and if my
husband feels badly, or either of us catch
cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a
day or two it has thrown the sickness
out of the system.”—Mrs. Frederick
Williams.
Mrs. W. A. Allison, of 759 Sheffield
avenue, Chicago, Ill., is the Assistant
Matron of the
People’s Hospi
tal. She has the
following to say
about Peruna:

head, lungs, and stomach, generally
called catarrh. It alleviates pain and
soreness, increases the appetite and so

health.”—Mrs. W. A. Allison.
If you do not derive prompt and satis

Gentlemen of the Council:
Our duty calls us
together this evening to render an ac
count of the services we have render
ed the city during the year just ended,
1A02, and it certainly affords me much
pleasure and satisfaction to be able to
state from the records that each of you
have performed faithfully and with
much ability the duties which fell to
your individual lots. I desire to call
special attention to the services ren
dered by the three gentlemen whose
term of office has just expired. They
have devoted an unusual amount of en
ergy, time and good judgement in dis
charging their duties, as their individ
ual reports show And for myself, and
on behalf of the city, I wi3h to extend
them our sincere thanks.
Mr. J. M. Hubbard, Chairman water
and lights, has given each of these de
partments special attention, and has
them in fine condition. There has
been a good improvement in the water
supply—it is brought direct from the
springs in pipes and thereby kept cool,
fresh, clean and pure. He has also
looked after the collection of water
rents which has required much perse
verance to get all that was due the cit-
y. And, further, there has been con
siderable improvement and extensions
in the supply of water for fire protec
tion, having extended a 6 inch main
out Broad street, and one on North
Bradford street to Rice Hill. As
Chairman of the Health Committee he
has watched this department very
closely and managed it very success
fully and at a very small cost consider
ing the work done.
Mr. L. D. Puckett, Chairman Police
Department. This department has
been managed very successfully and
the chairman gave much of his time
and study to get the best results possi
ble; and, no doubt, the blind tigers and
law r breakers will long remember the
chairman of the police department for
1902. Mr. Puckett, as Chairman of tiie
Finance Committee, has done the work
in this department very thoroughly
from beginning to finish as the balance
sheets will show.
Mr. T. V. Eberhart, as Chairman
Cemetery Committee, has kept the cem
etery in good appearance, clean and at
tractive, and the public served prompt
ly and in a very satisfactory way.
Mr, S. C. Dunlap Jr., as chairman on
the streets, has done the work in this
department very economically and sub
stantially, and a great ueal of prelimi
nary work has been done preparatory to
paviDg the streets. We have purchas
ed a rack crusher and a road roller,
and the work is being done in the best,
cheapest and most substantial and
lasting way possible. The progress in
the public property department of
which Mr. Dunlap is chairmain, has
been delayed on account of not getting
the money in hand in time to complete
the work before freezing weather. Al
so the architectural work has not been
completed. The council has spent a
great deal of time and study in trying
to get the best school building possible
for the money.
Mr. C. C. Staton, Chairman Fire De
partment, looks after the interests of
the City Fire Department first, and
then his individual business last,
which accounts for the unsurpassed
success the department had the past
year. He is surely in the right place,
and I am sure the whole city joins me
in thanking him for his faithful ser
vices so cheerfully, rendered.
I desire to say further that the City
Council has been impartial in providing
for every interest of the city. Our
city is growing very rapidly and the
demands in every department are very
pressing, especially our public school
building, which I have no doubt will
be built as soon as possible.
Now, this my annual report and
statement, showing the financial con
dition, and fully explaining all the af
fairs of the city for the year 1902.
I desire to thank the Clerk and his
assistant for their many courtesies and
kindnesses shown me, and further I
want to say the work in the Clerk’s
office has been very heavy for the past
veai—more than one man could do,
but the work has been kept right up
rnd all business dispatched promptly.
Also I desire to thank each and every
member of the various departments
for their co-operation and heln in mak
ing this year so successful and pleasant
and I have reasons to hope and believe
that the new year will be the most sue
cessful in the history of our beloved
city. Respectfully submitted,
P. N. PARKER, Mayor.
Jan. 1st, 1903.
, Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 1, 1903.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council.
City of Gainesville, Georgia.
Gentlemen:
Having given the records and files in
the Clerk’s office a thorough examina
tion and after carefully checking the
books for the year 1902, the Finance
Committee begs to submit the follow
ing annual report showing cash re
ceipts and disbursements:
During the year Fifty Thousand
($50,000) Dollars 4 per cent. 30-year
bonds have been issued and floated for
the following purposes, to-wit:
$20,000 to erect and equip public
school building, $20,000 to establish a
sewer system and $10,000 to improve
streets.
A succinct statement shows the
financial condition of the City to be as
follows, towit:
Balance cash on hand Jan
uary 1st, 1902 $ 65.68
Cash receipts for the year
1902 50,251.06
Total $50,316 74
Disbursements for the year
1902 $ 49,224.35
Balance cash on hand Jan-
uarv 1st, 1903 1,092.39
In addition to the sum of One Thou
sand Ninetv-Two and 39-100 ($1,092.39)
Dollars now iu the Treasury to the
City’s credit it is with pardonable
pride that we can point to the fact
that we have the sum of Three Thou
sand Two Hundred Sixty-two and
50-100 ($3,262.50) Dollars in New York
banks on deposit as follows, to-wit:
Western National Bank, of
New York $ 2,262.50
Hanover National Bank, of
New York 1.000.00
with which to pay off the interest cou
pons due on outstanding bonds on Jas-
nary 1st, 1903.
This is almost an unheard of thing
in the history of Gainesville as the
first act of the incoming council usually
is to authorize the Mayor by resolu
tion to touch the pen to tne tune of a
“promise to pay*’ for such an amount
as is necessary to discharge the interest
account.
In view of the above facts the admin
istration for the year 1902, virtually
turns over to the incoming council the
sum of Four Thousand Three Hundred
Fifty Four ana 89-100 ($4,354.89) Dol
lars to start it “happy on the way.”
It is most gratifying to have the new
council commence with a clean finan
cial record and money in the treasury,
which augurs well for the “Queen City
of the Mountains,” which is taking on
new life and is destined to move for
ward and upward to higher attitudes
of glory and greatness.
A more detailed statement of the
financial condition follows, which speaks
for itself and we invoke the closest
scrutiny. Respectfully submitted,
L. D. PUCKETT,
