N i1iscH.se. PEOPLE Cleanliness goes with health. If we have catarrh any- where we can not be wholly ^.clean. Make system atic efforts to be free from this disgusting A. Johnston, 1(J3 1‘ilhain and Ripley Sts., Montgomery, Ala., tells her experience with catarrh of the stomach and how she was cured: “ I will state to you that I have taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na and twoof Men-a-lin and rejoice to say, ‘ Cod bless Dr. Hartman and Pe-ru-nu. ’ And I earnestly assure you that it lias done me more good than any medi cine I have ever taken in my life. I prescribe it to every one I meet who is suffering, as the best medicine in the world, and have made many con verts who are now rejoicing in the great good which they have derived from the same. I can tell you that I am almost entirely relieved of indiges tion, that great foe which has tortured me so many years, and can now eat anything I desire without it is fruits or something acid.” To understand the scientific action of Pe-ru-na it is best to have Dr. Hart man's special book for women or his book on chronic catarrh. These books arc mailed free by the Pe-ru-na Medi cine Company, Columbus, 0. All drug/ists sell Pe-ru-na.

Goudeloek, Treasurer Keliginua Services Were Held Every Day. The Hrond River Association held last week at Drnytonville church was largely attended. The delegates were representative Christian gen tlemen, quite a number of whom it was our pleasure to meet. They came from several counties and were deeply interested in titter good work, and whose presence in any com munity can only impart good to it. The Draytonvillc people were as siduous in their attention to their guests and entertained them in a truly [royal style. The Association met on Thursday morning and elected Rev. J. D. Bailey moderator, and 8. M. Bagwell secretary \V. L. Goudeloek treas urer, and continued its sessions Fri day, Saturday and Sunday. Re ligious services were held every day. The sermons preached were able and appropriate and the business of the Association, while generally routine, was conducted in a manner that made it most interesting.

Moss, of King’s Mountain associa tion; Rev. A. I. Masters, of the Bap tist floursier; Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president of Limestone College; (htpt. J. B, Patrick, of Patrick Mili tary Institute, and Rev. A. J. Hen sley, of York association. The association was addressed by several of the visiting bretheren, each one of whom represented some worthy object or institution. Limestone College received a most hearty endorsement. It is situated in the center of the association, and this interest will be made mani fest by the large support which the association will give the college. The Broad River association is one of the oldest religious organizations in the state, and will hold its centen nial session in 1900 with the First Baptist church in this cily. Provi dence, Limestone and the Second Baptist church of Gaffney v.ill co-op erate with the First church in this gr^at and important event in the history of this time honored associa tion. And Gaffney will give it a welcome from its whole heart, which we hope will in a measure be com- mensurato with the honor site re ceives from having this distinguished body of Christians to meet inside her walls.

Some Women Many women think I the bearing of chil- "i dren is a necessary period of great pain and distress. They doubt whether any medicine can relieve their sufferings.
