He recommends this '*as an act of grace and without refer* nse to the question of the United States Congress to make suitable provision for the heirs." The Vent z lelan situation has* asearned grave aspects. The allied forces of Germany and Great Britian have gone further than this government expected and is willing to submit to. It is said that Admiral Dewey is sailing off the South American coast with forty-two war vessels behind him and is keeping a weather eye on the movements of the vesaels of the two nations. Secre tary Hay Las addressed a note to the Berlin government, in which he declares that American ships entering ports of Venezuela must not be interferred with, and it is now probable that the United States may break its attitude of inactivity and then we will know where we are at. ?

In 1897 actions were began in the Common Pleas Court here by The Computing Scales Co, vs. J. W. Long, and vs. Williamson & Gunter, S. 0. and Emma H. Kaminer, W. P. Roof aDd H. M. Wingard, a separate suit as to each. These suits were brought by I. A. McCullough of Greenville, with Messrs. Efird & Dreher of counsel. Mr. E L Asbill, represented the defense. The matter has been before W. H. Sharpe, Esq, Special Referee, whose judgment was in favor of the defendant. At the September term, the cause came before Judge Dantzle, on ap peal from Mr. Sharpe's ruliLg3 and he has filed with the Clerk here the judgment on said appeal, which reverses the Referee's findings and gives judgment against J. W. Long for S53 65, the alleged cost of a Computing scale. The other cases are to abide the result of this caBe. .The cause of the suit was that after these merchants had purchased the scales they were notified that they were infringements on another scale company's patent and hence they refused to take them out of the freight office, to avoid suit with the other company. The cases will go to the Supreme Court next spring. A Card. For several years my principal occupation has been surveying but the 41 ??

Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure l \a/1 uttiami vviiuitJvtJi Located, There are some things which are as sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur to at least one-half of the human family unless means are taken to prevent. First, the climate of winter is sure to bring colds. Second, colds not promptly cured are rare to cause catarrh. Third, catarrh improperly treated is sure to make life short and miserable. Catarrh spares no organ or function of the body. It is capable of destroying sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion, secretion, assimilation and excretion. It pervades every part of the human body, head, throat, stomach, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs,, That Peruna cures catarrh wherever located is attested by the following testimonials sent entirely unsolicited to Dr. Hartman by grateful men and women who have been cured by Peruna: Systemic Catarrh. Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va., writes: "I had catarrh all through my system for two years and could get no relief. I was advisad to try Peruna and I have taken five bottles of it and am well and better now than I have been for years. I can advise any one who has catarrh of any part of the body to take Peruna. My little girl who is eleven years old had catarrh, but was cured by Peruna. Before I began to take Peruna I was sick all the time, but now I am entirely cured, and all praise is due Peruna."?Mrs. M. K. Bousch. Catarrh of the Nose. Mr. Herman Ehlke,932 Orchard street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: " I am entirely cured of my catarrh of the nose by your Peruna. .My case was a severe one."?Herman Ehlke. Catarrh of the Throat. B. H. Runyan, Salesville, 0., writes: ?I suffered with catarrh of the throat for five years. I was induced to try Peruna. I have used five bottles and am perfectly well."?B. H. Runyan. Catarrh of The Ear. Mr. Archie Godin, 188 Beech street, Sltchburg, Mass., writes: "Peruna has cured me of catarrh of the middle ear. I feel better than 1 haye I for several years."?Archie Godin- | J. H. FRICK, ATTORNEY AT LAW, ' Will practice in all the Courts. Office: Hotel Marion, 4th room, second t floor. CHAPIN, - - - - - - 8.
