I0USANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
jted ail treatment for years, being
Dmptly and permanently cured, by
Irana.
These reports do not all come from
cure places, signed by obscure peo
A large proportion of these letters
written by men and women promi-
Qt in business and professional cir-

Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
a prominent position among the
ling trial lawyers of Chicago. He
probably obtained more verdicts
jainst corporations in suits for personal
Ijuries than any man of his age in the
aited States, and during his practice
over fifteen years he has not lost a
lgle case in the Supreme Courts of
linois and Missouri. He is a hard
lorker and has the energy of four men.
For a number of years he had been
icted with chronic catarrh and hav-
recently been thoroughly cured of
old affection, an interview was ol>-
inea with him by one of our reporters
which he gave the following state*

chronic catarrh bnt thanks to Peruna I
am now entirely cured.

a statement in behalf of your meritorious

catarrh and have found it to be all you
claim for it. I had suffered for twenty
years. I cheerfully recommend Peruna
to anyone suffering from catarrh, as I
believe that, as in my case, it will prove
a sure cure.'*—Captain John H. Lyons.

HERE AND THERE-
“There are three things I wish
you would keep pecking at
through the columns of your pa
per until we get them,” said a
well known citizen this week.
‘ One is an up-to-date, first-class
hotel, built on modern lines, for
the benefit of our summer visitors
as well as for the transient travel.
Why some of our enterprising m6n
with money don’t organize a com
pany, or build it themselves, I
can’t see, as such an enterprise iB
a crying need. Until we get such
a hotel we cannot hope to get our
share of summer visitors, which,
on accouut of the building of the
new electric line, will naturally
come this way. Put a little gin
ger under some of ’em, and maybe
you can wake somebody np
enough to cause them to build
such a hotel as I have suggested.
“The two other things to which
I refer are—the laying of a water
main on Race street, so as to give
the people over in that part of
town the necessary protection
they are entitled to, as well as the
convenience of the city water ser
vice, and the extension of Park
street. These improvements are
almost absolute necessities, and
our city fathers should heed the
call of the numerous citizens in
the Northeastern part of the
city.”
We are getting to be too big a city
not to have a building inspector
anyhow.”

“And while you are at it,”
spoke up a by-stander, “just tell
’em that the necessity for opening
up a street running from Green to
Race street has grown to be a
greater necessity since the build
ing of the electric line than it was
before. There are scores of peo-
to be convenienced by the opening
of such a street, and the great car
line will be of no earthly use to
them unless they can get a way tq
get to and from it without walk
ing as far as they would nave to
walk in getting to and from
town. Some have said that
objectionable houses would be
erected on the street, that is to
say, negro houses. This trouble
could be easily obviated by the
passage of anjordinance providing
for a building inspector, or re
quiring each person in the city
who wishes to build a house, no
matter of what character, to se
cure a permit for the same. Such
an ordinance is needed anyway,
and should be passed whether this
particular street is opened or net.
“I find the people are divided
on the question of issuing bonds
to build good roads in Hall coun
ty,” said a gentleman who lives
in the country, when asked for
the news a day or two ago. “There
is no question that they are sick
and tired of the bad roads we have
had this winter, but when it
comes to voting on a bond issue it
is the greatest bugaboo you ever
heard tell of. I don’t have any
idea what an election would result
in, but it would certainly have
some vigorous opponents. How
ever, there are many good people
in the county who want perma
nent roads built, realizing that
the same would be of incalculable
benefit to them, as well as in
crease the valne of their property
to a considerable degree. “I no
tice,” continued the gentleman,
‘‘that in some sections the govern
ment has discontinued the service
of free delivery in the country die*
tricts because of the bad roads.
It would come as a great blow to
us here in Hall county, now that
we have just been allowed five
new rural free delivery routes, if
the government should cut us of?
because of our very bad roads.
If the opportunity presents itself,
I am going to vote for the bond
issne, because I believe in prog
ress, and in helping to enhance the'
value of my property, as well as
that of my neighbor’s.”

“Isn’t it funny how people get
nicknames, and how they stick to
'em,” said a gentleman a few days
ago, in discussing an acquaint
ance. “Take the two Reed’s for
instance—‘Lying Joe' and ‘Joe
Bacon.’ The former got his nick
name because of his well known
proclivities for lying, and the lat
ter because he hid some bacon,
which his comrades had stolen,
during the war, and the where
abouts of which he would not di
vulge so his superior officers, even
on threat of being courtmartialed.
‘Lying Joe' and ‘Joe Bacon* will
stick to ’em as long as they live.
And then there’s the Elrod boys in
upper Hall. One is called jnst
plain John—he’s as plain as an
old shoe, and honest, too—and
another is known as ‘Smoking
John,’ because he smokes so
much, and still another is called
'Grumbling John,’ because he is
forever and eternally grumbling.
It is told of ‘Grumbling John’
that he went to church one dryj
hot, sunshiny day and while wait
ing for the services to begin he
commenced grumbling about the
dry weather, ‘I’ll bet it stays
dry and hot so long that not a flat
grain of corn will I make this
year. ’ He hadn’t got the words
out of his mouth before a cl cud
came up out of the southwest, and
a lond peal of thunder was heard.
‘Thar now,’ said ‘Grumbling
John,’ 'I’ll bet it rams so much
that I can’t get to plow my com
in six weeks, and narry-a-grain
will I make.’ ‘Grumbling John.’
like many others, grumbles both
ways—nothing ever suits him—
grumbles when it’s dry because it
