And all per sons who have been exposed to samej are ordered to isolate them selves and not to mingle with the people, up til discharged by a reg^ ular practicing physician. If you fail to comply with this order and the law in such cases made and provided, you will - be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Wm. Hosch, J. R. Whaley, and T. W. Staton.; Com. Roads and 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. PETER ELROD DEAD Mr. Peter Elrod died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. G.

A writer in an exchange. makes the following good points, which are commended to the attention 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.
