C.? as seoonci oi&ss matter. r . *v'\ CIRCULATION 2.300. Dr. Griffith For Mayor. Dr. Lewie A. Griffith, of Columbia, a lormer resident of thi9 county and a son of that grand old man, Col, D. J. Griffith, superintendent of the State penitentiary, is an avowed candidate tor Mayor of the city of Columbia. Dr. Griffith's candidacy is already the talk of the city, and hi9 friends on this side of the river, feel confident of his election. Dr. Griffith is a young man with progressive ideas and sound business judgment, just such a man in our opinion as would make an ideal mayor for the progressive capital of the State. Here s hoping that he will win. A Prominent V lsitor Cbaries H. Kelso, of Cleveland, Ohio, who styles himselt a "Northern Democrat," is in Lexington for several days, the guest ftf Hon. Frank VV.

If your property needs it; don't wait. There are two narts of a iob: the paiut and the work; the work is more than the paint. The cost of paint is about two-fifths; the work three-fifths. Paint won't come-down in a hurry; too many jobs put-off. Men are waiting for $2 or $3; they , don't know it; tney think they are waiting for $20 or $26. Why don't men use their heads. ... DEVOE adv.

G. W. ROBERTS, for me after R-R-2,Bo*27, three years ot Hartecll, Ab. suffering. I had tried the treatments : of several doctors, also home remedies, but they failed and all hope had gone. My friends, like myself, thought I was in the last stages of consumption.

My friends seem astonished at my recovery. ^ T wish to thank you for your kind advice and the books you have sent me. I shall ever praise your medicine and hope that you may enjoy a long life." 1 It will be observed that Rev. Roberts waited two years after lie began to use Peruna, before he wrote the s above letter to The Peruha Co. So that his apparent recdyery could not possibly have been temporary relief. In a later letter to The Peruna Co., 1 dated September 22, 1906V Rev. Roberts says: 'T am a great friend pf Peruna.

The people know my case, and they praise it also." In a letter dated November 22, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Peruna gave me back my life ten years ago. All my acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful to you for your kindness." In a later letter, dated January 13. 1910, he says: "I shall ever in the future, as in the past, be ready to speak in praise of Peruna to all sufferers. I believe my miraculous cure has oeen ine means 01 many umaa being cured in this county." From a letter of September 5, 191b we quote a few words: "I am still among the living. As to Peruna, I do not feel that I have words to express the faith I have in its merits. I feel that Peruna has been the means, through the kind providence of God. of prolonging my life for more than ten years." We quote a still later letter, October 31, 1912. He says: "I took a severe cold three weeks ago. I at once sent for Peruna. Have been taking it two weeks. I am now better. I consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in reference to Peruna." We quote from his last letter, dated January 2, 1913: "Dear Friends: I wish this bright New Years to express my thanks to you for your kindness. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a blessing to many as it has to me. I am yours as ever, G. W. Roberts, Hartsell, Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box o- ?
