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.

Henderson, of Monticol lo,was in the city Monday., Miss Lena Guttenberger, of Macon, is visiting relatives in the city. Miss Wiley, of Macon, after a short visit to re atives here, re¬ turned home Monday. Rev. Jas.

Lewis, of Greensboro; Calvin George, of Madison, and Fleming Jordan, of Monticello, attended court hero this week. Heavy rains fell in this coun¬ ty last week. Pome of the old¬ est men say they never remem¬ ber seeing so much rain fall at this season of the year. Farm¬ ers are very much behind and should avail themselves of the pretty weather we are now en¬ joying. The regular March term cf 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. * * « -:t LADIES AID SOCIETY OF EATOKTON BAPTIST CHURCH. 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. • * SPEGIit BARGAINS.
