ante industry C0NS1N P iecommends Pe-ru-na as Being Worth its Weight in Gold.. GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1908. NUMBER 45. (Son. John Paulin, Sr., a pioneer of Port Washington, Wis., is held in high r m the residents of that place. He is one of the oldest citizens. In a recent F r he gays: r have used Peruna with good results for coughs and colds. It f a k° cured my catarrh which always became worse when affected r hut a slight cold. I am recommending Peruna because it is V th to weight in gold. "—JOHN PAULIN, SR. Mr. A. Howell, Marietta, Ga., writes: “ I have been troubled with catarrh in head, throat and stomach for several years, and from accounts that I have read in several newspapers of the good effects that many had received from Pe runa, and whose veracity could not be doubted, caused me to give it a trial, and I bless the day that I did make a trial. It has made a new man of me. “I was all my life up to about five yeacs ago a very healthy man, and about that time I was troubled with catarrh. I tried a number of prescriptions from different doctors but none seemed to re lieve me until I commenced the use of Peruna, and from its use I can truly say that I have been greatly benefited. **I am now in my eighty-seventh year and can walk and get about as well as many much younger than my self and attribute it greatly to the use of Peruna. I keep some on hand all the time, and consider it the cheapest medi cine in the world.”—Mr. A. Howell. J. R. Prince, East Leon, N. Y., writes: “ Peruna has saved my life, and made a strong, healthy, jolly old man of me. Peruna is just what every family should not be without. I have taken very few colds since I have used Peruna, but when I do catch cold, Peruna is my medicine. “A minister came to me last summer and said that he had seen my testi monial in the paper, and began taking Peruna. He said that it straightened him right up—(he was troubled with kidney trouble) and Peruna cured him. I cannot express my thanks for the benefit your medicine has been to me.”—J. R. Prince. Abraham Ziegler, Piedmont, Wayne County, Mo., writes: “My wife who is now eighty-seven years old, suffered for about sixteen years from severe catarrh of the head, which affected her sight and hearing. I saw Pe-ru-na advertised in your al manac, and testimonials similar to her case attracted my attention. I got one bottle and it helped her so much that she is now using the second bottle and she thinks it is something wonderful. Her hearing and sight are both in part restored.”—Abraham Ziegler. In old age the mucous membranes be come thickened and partly lose their function. This leads to partial loss of hearing, smell and taste, as well as di gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects all this by its specific operation on all the mucous membranes of the body. One bottle will convince anyone. Once used and Pe-ru-na becomes a life-long stand-by with old and young. 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 advice gratis.

This is not only good news to them, but to the people of the city as well, for the postoffice clerks are hard worked and are always willing to accommodate the public. There is a considerable differ ence in the amount allowed for clerk hire now and when Post master Farrow went into office. At tbajt time only $800 was allow ed for clerk hire, whereas now the clerks are paid $2,000, an increase of $1200. Now, this is to be add ed to by the last increase allowed, the amount of which is not known yet. He Didn’t Want to Sell. A few days ago Mr. Jim Hunt walked up to a man on the public square who was standing by his horse and buggy. “Want to sell that horse?” inquired Mr. Hunt. “Yes,” the man replied. take $80 for him.” ‘Til give you $75,” said Mr. Hunt. “Can’t do that, but I’ll take $80,” said the owner. “AH right, you’ve ■old vonr horse,” said Mr. Hunt as he commenced unhitching the animal. The man commenced turuing pale and in a minute he had fal len to the ground. Mr. Hunt looked at him with astonishment. He had sold his horse so quickly that it had completely unnerved him, and he fainted. Mr. Hunt promptly called the trade off, and the man regained his composure and drove back home.

The coyotes which he brought back from Oklahoma last spring are doing well and growing fast. Frank says they are the greatest chicken eaters m the country, but he carefully guards his hen roost.

The general assembly of North Carolina passed last week what is said to be the first law enacted in that State allowing a town to vote a regular tax for the purpose of paying for an advertisement of it self. The bill was passed at the request of more than two-thirds of the voters of Pine Bluff, a com munity controlled almost entirely by New England capital, and the tax, which is to be laid upon ev ery form of business, is greater than the tax for any other pur* pose. This bill is a novelty, bnt it is but another form of the poii* cy which is becoming more and more generally adopted in the South of spending money to call general attention to the advan tages of cities, towns and count try localities. The deep interest manifested in the South by would- be investors and settlers is respon sible largely for this quickening toward publicity, and, judiciously directed, the advertising will re sult in magnificent material re turns. —Manufacturer’s Record.
