Thos. Whitfield it Co., 2i0 Wabash avenue. Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, in speaking of this says: "We recommend Cham berlain's Cough Remedy for la grippe in many cases, us it not only gives prompt and complete recovery, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result In pneumonia." hur sale by Cherokee Urug <’o.

Our old friends, th Hours, break loose now and then and strike a blow that overwhelms a large detachment of the Hritish army and sends anxiety and alarm to the Hritish nation. Then they disappear and England 1 congratulates herself that the danger i is past and the war is over. It is said that the H.iers have recently been to-enforced by fifteen thousand men, and that, the host general that the war has developed is now in com mand. If these reports be true, there will he yet much wild work in the Transvaal. Like the prophet Calchas, ex-presi- dent Cleveland after a long silence has at last opened his mouth and spoken. He declares that the woes of the democratic party are all caused by the strange gods that it has been running after, and predicts that it will never prosper again unless it put away these gods and return to its first love. It is said that Col. Hryan would reply to him if the big ex-presi dent would bo a little more (xplicit in his use of terms. So Bryan’s lance is poised in the air, and Cleve land perhaps is getting ready for an other duck hunt. The dispensary lb laid in over a half worth of liquor for holidays. There are people who believe drunkenness in the everybody had free access to all the liquor he wanted than in these latter days when the article is supposed to be scarce and hard to get. It looks like the dispensary is going to give an opportunity of proving or disprov ing this long standing theory, by making whisky in the towns at least more abundant than good water. I'erhaps after ail. here is where the “moral” feature comes in. ♦ ♦ Governor McSweeney announces that be w ill not recommend nor en courage in any way an extension of the time for paying taxes. Ho is right. These repeated extensions are demoralizing and unfair to those tax payers who are always proii.pt. There can bo no reason this year to extend the time except that very de moralization caused by a persistent precedent. If that precedent can- ^iot bej^.^ftaj,.to a large class of trusting deUnqTWuTs then the legislature ought to fix the 1st of February instead of the dlst of December as the permanent and final limit. Small pox is prevailing to a limited extent in Spartanburg, but there is little danger of its spreading as the board of health and medical ollicers have it isolated and well in hand. Fmall pox^has ceased to inspire the terror^that it did a few years ago, be cause it lias been been demonstrated that vaccination is almost an abso lute safe-guard. When this fact 's so well recognized, it is strange that any one in this country should be so blinded by prejudice and ignorance as to refuse to adopt so safe and simple u protection. There are many no doubt in our town who have not yet been vaccinated and these owe their immunity to the majority of sensible people who have been, and yet many of them think they are imposed on if the town adopt meas ures to compel them to protect (hem- selves and others against this loath some disease. -♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Christmas week is passing, so far as we observe, with a quietness bor dering on monotony. The weather lias been line and there has been much coining and going, but there has been little rowdyism about town, and every one has appeared to be in a good humor. Our merchants have done a rousing business, especially in Christmas goods, and judging from the amount of these which disap peared from the shelves and counters wo should say that the hearts of many children have been made glad and that many pledges of friendship and of love have been given and re ceived among both the young and the old. Business generally was suspended only one day, though the hanks were closed two days and the postoflice we believe kept holiday hours for the same time. Matty laborers and artisans resumed work on yesterday, and now Christmas Is fast merging into the routine of plodding life again, and soon this, the lust Christmas of the I'.Hh cen tury, will be a thing of the past. to t I Mil.

Last evening the Masons of the city vied in merry-making with the Knights of I’ythins who had their banquet lust week. At an early hour the members of Grunnrd Lodge No iMi assembled tit their hall and at once proceeded to dispose of all business matters boforo indulging in the pleasures of the evening. The first matter of importance was the installation of officers, and then the Eastern Slur degree was conf. rred upon a number of gentlemen urul la dies by Rev, B. P. Robertson. After all business had been dispensed with the members with their wives and in vited lady guests gathered in the banquet hall of the Masons and pro ceeded to do justice to the sumptuous repast that had been prepared for them under the experienced manage ment of “Happy Cal” Parish who seemed to be in his happiest mood. That fact alone is sufficient assurance that the rich viands w< re served up in the highest or.hr of excellence. Worshipful Master R. M. Gaifney was toastmaster for the occasion, and the following toasts were submitted and responded to: “Gaffney’s Prog ress,” by T. B Butler; "Our Indus tries,” by J. E Bierck ; •‘Limestone,” by J. C. Jefferies; "Women.” by Ed H. DeCamp; "Masonicism,” by R. M. Gaffney. Upon the whole It was a most en joyable event and it will ever remain a bright spot in the memory of merry banquetters. the An Appeal.

FRAHGIS USE PERUNA Their Favorite Remedy for Coughs, Colds, La , ' Grippe and Catarrh. , ST. VINCENTS ORPHAN ASYLUM, EAST MAIN ST., COLUMBUS, OfflO. Dr. S, B. Hartman: “Some years ago a friend of our Insti tution recommended to ub Dr. Hart man’s ‘ Pe-rn-na’ &» an excellent remedy for the la grippe, of which we then had several eases which threatened to bo of a serious character. “We began to use it and experienced inch wonderful results that since then, P«-ru-ua has become our favorite medi cine for influenza, catarrh,coughs, colds and bronchitis. Sisters of St. Francis, “St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum.” Mr. G. W. Ar- inge, of Collins ville, Tex., writes: “I have been us ing Pe-ru-na for cough I have had for some time. It has completely cured me, and I do heartily recom mend it to those suffering from coughs and colds. I will praise Pe-ru-na for ever.” Pe-ru-na cures la grippe. Mr. Joseph Kirchensteiuer, 87 Croton streat, Cleveland, O, says: “We have used Pe-ru-na for eight years as our family medicine. During the whole of that time we have Mr. G. W. Arlnge ami Sou. Mr. Joseph Kirchensteiuer. not had to employ a physician. Our family consists ®f seven, and wo al ways use it for the thousand and one ailments to which mankind is liable. We have used it in cases of scarlet fever, measles and la grippe. Whenever one of the family feel in the least ill mother always says: ‘Take Pe- ru-na and you will bo well not happen to have f^Ve will have to get more jro-TU-ua.’ Pe-ru-na is al ways satisfactory in colds and coughs.” Free Correspondence. The climatic diseases of winter are mainly coughs, colds, catarrh, bronch itis, tonsilitis and other catarrhal affec tions of the reeplratory tract. Pe-ru-na is an absolute specific for all of these af fections. Pe-ru-na will cure a cough or a cold in a very few days. Pe-ru-na will cur® chronic catarrh even of years’ standing in a few weeks. Pe-ru-na should be kept in every house as a safe guard against the many affections to which the family is liable during the winter season. In every city and large town in llv® United States the Sister of Charity has become a familiar object. The Catholic Sisters—sweet messengers of charity, ceaseless and indefatigable in their labors—move quietly and swiftly in and out among the people, receiving, dis pensing, assisting and comforting. Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger, deter them from their errands of mercy. They aro to be found in palace and hovel; in the boulevard and brothel. Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis courages them. Vast institutions of refuge for the homeless and hopeless have arisen in every city hy their tire less labors. By no means the least service they^ render helpless humanity is their dis pensation <jf medicine. Their experience among the sick, and their anxiety to bo of assistance to them, soon lead them to know the most efficient and safe reme dies. It would bo impowiblo that so popular and valuable a remedy as Pe- ru-na could have escaped their atten tion. Many letters have been received from institutions of this kind praising the benefit that Pe-ru-na lias been to them. Mr. Albert Borngraeber, of Mayville, Wis., says: “I want to tell you that I have been given ,-itx good health by Pe-ru-aa. In Sep- t e m b e r, 1893, I caught a very bad cold. It settled on my lungs and I was troubled with night sweats and a terrible cough. I could not sleep part of tho time. I could scarcely breathe.
