WHEN SPRING COMES
“I Recommend Pe-ru-na to all
Sufferers,” says Editor W. T.
Powell, of Clarington, 0.
W. T. Powell, editor of the
Io( jependent of Clarington, 0,
writes that lie was taken sick
bronchitis and catarrhal fe
yer, head was iii a terrible con¬
dition, lungs were badly affected
being so tight and sore he could
hardly breathe, and coughed al¬
most incessantly. For two
months tried local physicians,
took cough medicines and other
medicines. Took three bottles
of Pe-ru-na and was entirely
cured.
It is needless to attempt to
give only the vaguest outline of
the wonderful success which Pe
ru-na has met with in the cure
of catarrh. This success is en
tirel 7 due to the fact that Peru
nu eradicates the disease from
the system, instead of tempora
rily relieving some disagreeable
symptom. Not only is catarrh
jn all stages and varieties cured
promptly, but also colds, cough
bronchitis, la grippe, catarrhal
dyspepsia, all yield, surely and
permanently, to the curative
virtues of Pe-ru-na.
Asa spring medicine Pe-ru-na
j g a uever failing remedy. It
cleanses the blood through di¬
gestion , and gives tone to the
whole system by increasing the
nutritive value of the food
“Spring fever,” as it is some¬
times called, which produces a
tired out, sleepy feeling, and in
ability to do much mental or
physical work, is the result of a
sluggish digestion, and no blood
medicine will be of any use
whatever unless it is able to
rectify the impaired digestion.
The great popularity that Peru
na has is due to the fact that in
all such cases it at once corrects
digestive derangements and en
riches the blood by purifying
this very important source of
that vital fluid. Send for book
on s p r j 0 g medicines and spring

Heavy rains fell in this coun¬

Putnam Superior Court con¬
vened here last Monday mo.n
ing at ten o’clock, with Judge
Hart on the. bench. Notwith¬
standing the fact that the Judge
was petitioned to adjourn court,
he refused to do so. The plea
upon which the petition was
based was, that the farmers
needed the time and there being
very little business on docket,
it would save the county con¬
siderable expense. He held
that it was liis duty to bold
court, however, and said he ex¬
pected to discharge his full duty.

RESOLUTIONS.
Our sister and co-worker,
Mrs. J. B. Reese, having moved
from our midst to make hei
home in Conyers, Ga., thereby
leaving vacant, in the Baptist
Woman’s Mission Society, the
Treasurer’s chair which for sev¬
eral years, she has so efficiently
tided, we feel we cannot, in
justice to our own feelings, let
her departure go unnoted ; there¬
fore, be it resolved :
1st. That the Miss on So iety
has lost one of its most efficient
and faithful members—one
whose punctuality in attend¬
ance on its meetings, devotion
to its growth, able and accurate
discharge of her official duties,
was a stimulus to each one as¬
sociated with her in the work.
2d. That from our view lias
passed the image of a beautiful
life ; a life full of nobility, truth
and honor ; a life wearing Hut
one pattern—the “Rose of Sha¬
ron,” the “Lily of tho Valley
a life that was a i inspiration to
each life it touched.
3d. That we commend her to
the tender love of the new
friends with the hope she may
be to them all she has been to us.
We pray the dear Lord to lead
her in the new, untried paths;
to keep her feet from bruises
too deep; her trusting heart from
chills too great, her never idle
hands from burdens too heavy
to be borne: that tho eternal
arms of loving strength be evor
round about her, and the bene¬
diction of peace rest like a halo
upon her dear head.
4th. That these resolutions be
spread upon the Society’s min¬
utes and a copy of them be sent
to our sister.
Julia B. Reed,
Chr. Committee.

I liavo bought several plating
machines but they were either
not large enough for some arti¬
cles or they did not work easy,
and I have never made much
money until obtained the practi¬
cal Plating Dymano. This it
the electrical machine used in all
the great gold and silver plating
factories, and dous tho work ev
ry time.No sooner did the people
hear that I had this electric'll f>y
nanio, than i had more spoons,
knives, forks and jewelry than
{ could plate in a month. Tk«
first week I cleared $81.50, this
second week I cleared $7o »*d
I think by the first of January I
will have a thousand dollars
cash and give my farm consider¬
