Revenues, Hall county.
The Gainesville fire depart
ment is being better equipped
than ever for good service. Be
sides the improvements noted in
these columns last week, another
man will be kept at the depart
ment at nights, making five in all
who mil do fire duty. They are:
Charley and Waiter £ Dunbar and
Jim West, regular firemen; Emory
Merck, city electrician; and an
other white man who will be em
ployed on the streets for day
work and who will sleep at fire
headquarters at night. The wag
on Used before the new hoBe wag
on was made, is being put in
shape for service again.
With these additions the fire
department will have: five men,
one pair horses and*
Sam’s govern men fknown as the
revenue Service. Deputy collector
H. L. Richardson and deputy
marshal Dennis Hughes Came in
with a blockader from the moun
tains together with a supply of
captured intoxicants; deputy col
lector Hinton and deputy mar
shall Thomas brought in two men
from Hart county, leaving a cut
up distillery behind; deputy col
lector Crockett sold a confiscated
team on the streets here; and
deputy collector. Hinton and
Crockett, and deputy marshal
Landers seized a pair of mules and
eight gallons of whiskey belonging
to Andrews and She! ton of Daw
son county, the'story of whose ar
rest follows.
C. J. Andrews and W. M. Shel
ton, two Dawson county makers
of moonshine, came fo the city
last Tuesday and started up the
business of wholesaling and re
tailing] whiskey. They had not
dealt very extensively in “moon
shine’’ here before the officers Id
eated them and, as a result, they
were put in limbo and their light
whiskey confiscated. They were
selling it right under the nose of
the revenue authorities, theirl bold
ness being somewhat unusual.
Revenue^officers Landers, Crockett
and Hinton and Policeman Tru
man Bagwell put them under ar
rest and carried them before U.
S. Commissioner Gaston, who
bound them over to the federal
court under bonds of $300 each.
All m ail, the day was a busy
one for the “revenoos,” and Uncle
Bam came put a good many dol
lars ahead on the day’s work.
fse Peruna
As the skin covets the outside of the
body, so the mneons membranes line the
inside. Every organ, every dnet, every
passage, every cavity of the body, is
lined by mucous membrane. These mu-
cons membranes are liable from various
causes to become irritated or inflamed.
When this occurs it is called catarrh,
and catarrh may be located in the head,
nose,middle ear, throat, bronchial tubes,
or'air cells of the lungs, liver, bowels,
kidneys, bladder, procreative and uri
nary organs. Wherever there is a mu
cous membrane, there catarrh may be
also.
To be sure, catarrh of these various
organs has been known by different
names; that is, catarrh of the stomach
has been catted dyspepsia, catarrh ot
the kidneys, Bright’s Disease; catarrh
of the bowels, diarrhoea or dysentery:
catarrh of the procreative organs, fe
male trouble, and so on, and so on*
But our claim is, that these are all one
and the same disease—catarrh—and
that our remedy, Peruna, is applicable
to catarrh of ait of these various or
gans,
Peruna is not a “cure all”; it cures just
one disease—catarrh. But since catarrh
is able to fasten itself within the differ
ent organs of the body, so it is that Pe-
runa cures affections of these organs.
Bat we insist that Peruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal, scientific remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca
tarrh is a systemic disease; that is fo
say, it invades the whole system. We
claim that Peruna is a systemic remedy;
that is to say, it eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh is not a local dis
ease; Pernna is not a local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system, only
a systemic remedy can reach it. This is,
in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease—catarrh—our remedy, Peruna.
STOLE A PURSE
Rtotofflce Building, Montgomery, Ala.
■ Hon. John C. Leftwieh, Redeemer of
Rublic Moneys, whose office is in the
jnagnificent building above shown, in a
■otter written from Montgomery, Ala.,
Kays: “ 1 take pleasure in recommending
i>enma as an excellent tonic and it is
Jecominended to me by those who have
ised it as a good catarrh cure.”
I Hon. Robert Barber, Register United
pe$ Land Office, also writes from
Montgomery, Ala.i €, Por some time I
lave been a sufferer from catarrh in its
Incipient stage, so much so that I be-
tame depressed and feared my health
fss generally in a decline. But bear-
fag of Peruna as a good remedy / gave
p a fair trial and soon began to im
prove. Its effects were distinctly bene-
mal, removing the annoying symp
tomsand was particularly good as a
hale.”
Hon. J. K. Burke, Collector of Port, of
Mobile, Ala., writes: “ Peruna I can rec-
jmmend as a fine medicine. It has been
used in my family and as a tonic it is
ncellent. I take pleasure in testifying
to its fine qualities.”
F. D. Barker, Postmaster of Mobile,
11a.,in a recent letter,says: “ Allow me
to send to yon my testimonial as to the
good qualities of Pernna. I have used it
(or the past three months and find it a
excellent tonic.”
William Young, colored, stole a
purse containing $6.06 from an
other negro named Charley Rob
erts last Monday night. Police
man Bud Smith was put on the
case and Tuesday night he and Po
liceman Prater nabbed him, recov
ered the purse and money, restor-
Young was
one pair
mules, two hoseWagons, one fire
engine, 2000 feet of hose, two
chemical extinguishers, four lad
ders, fourteen buckets, -six noz
zles and six pick-axes. Isn’t that
a good equipment?
Walter Dunbar is learning to be
an engineer so as to run the fire
engine, and save the city this ex
pense of $25 por month. And, too,
he will always be there when need
ed, as he is always at the depart
ment. ,,
The firemen are clamoring for
more or better sleeping room and
desire the council to move the city
electrician’s shop: to other quar
ters, both occupying the same
room. They say if that is done
they will have nothing else to ask
for.
With a splendidly equipped fire
department such as Gainesville
has, the insurance companies
mg it to the owner,
tried in the city coart Wednesday
afternoon, convicted; and senten
ced to pay a fine of $40 and costs
or serve twelve months on the
gang. Being unable to pay the
fine he will do time on the gang.

of our farmer readers:
- “I know a farmer who has used
the same hoe for twedty-five years
and it is today as bright as a new
pin; is as thin and sharp as a par
ing knife. Says he wouldn’t ex
change it for two bran new ones.
Secret, it was always cleaned and
oiled after using. He believes in
cleaning tools. Cleans even his
harrow teeth. Keeps machinery
and tools always housed. Is using
