Among iwceot utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the 5 7S one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D., of Baltimore. any other location. This is why Peruna 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: “I have had fre quent opportuni ties to observe the wonderful c u r a- * t i v e effects of 4 Peruna especially on persons suffer- Mrs. A\ . A. Allison, ing with a conjested condition of the head, lungs, and stomach, generally called catarrh. It alleviates pain and soreness, increases the appetite and so tones up the entire system that the patient' quickly regains strength and health.”—Mrs. W. A. Allison. 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 you his valuable ad vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. / Edward Stevens. Mrs. Edward Stevens of Carthage, . Y., writes as follows: _ “I now take pleasure in notifying you Ihatmy husband has entirely recovered pom catarrh. He is a well man today, fbanks to you and Peruna. He took six titties of your medicine as directed, and tproved to be just the thing for him. It? appetite is good and every thing he seems to agree with him. His tough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way.”— f®8. EDWARD STEVENS.

H. Parks, Marshal. 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, S. C. DUNLAP, jr. J. M. HUBBARD.
