WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [Address communlcatlonp for this col umn to P. O. Box 304.] The newest modification of the fash ionable circular skirt has a bias ef fect in the front and at the sides, and full plaits in the back. It is also marked by the revived graduated flounce. The closest attention must be paid to the fitting of the present- day skirt, whether it be short or long. Kilting continues to be popular, the plaits growing narrower and more nu merous and fitted more carefully to the hips. There are strong indications that the apron front will presently be re vived and some of the most guarded importations show a still more dar ing innovation in the lines of the skirt. • * • Miss Irene Scott, of Edgefield, is the guest of Mrs. Pierson, on Race street.

Beware of Summer Germs PERSONAL PARAGRAPH#. r* 1 y . i Will Cause^Sickness Unless^Stomach is Strengthened With v : Mi-o-na. One tablet of Mi-o-na taken before f each meal during the summer months, whenever the stomach is out of order, or the digestion weak, will do more than any other treatment to prevent the diseases caused by | germs at this season. If the stomach is weak so that food does not readily digest in it, the food will become a sour, slimy, ferment ing mass in the digestive organs, the ideal condition for germs to cause bowel trouble, diarrhoea, or other summer illness. Mi-o-na wil soothe and heal the ir ritated mucous membrane of the stomach and digestive tract, stimu late the solar plexus, and streng'h- en the whole nervous system. This remarkable remedy will make the whole digestive system so healthy, clean and sweet that food cannot ferment, and any disease germs which may enter the stomach will be destroyed. Just one small tablet out of a 50 cent box of Mi-o-na before eating, and you will have no headaches, back ache, poor appetite, distress af ter eating, heart-burn, furred tongue, sleeplessness, or general debility. It will tone up the digestive system and give perfect health and strength. Take Mi-o-na now, and the Gaffney Drug Co. will guarantee to refund the money if it does m*t cure. The risk is all theirs.

A COMRADE OF GENERA* GRANT Says: “I Do Not Believe Pe-ru-na Has a Supenior.” Pe-ru-na i« a Catarrhal Tonic cially Adapted to the Declining Powers of Old Age. In old age the mucous membranes be come thickened and partly lose their function. This leads to partial loss of hearing, smell and taste, as well as digesttre dis turbances. Peruna corrects all this by its speeiflo operation on all the mucous membranes of the body. One bottle will convince anyone. Once used and Pernna becomes a life-long stand-by with old and young. Mr. Charles F. Benctsson, Truesdail, Mo., writes: “I have followed your in structions for the As Well As Cm Be At the Age of Eighty-four Years COL. BENJ. F. HAWKES. Col. Benj. F. Hawkes, of 611 G street, S. W., Washington, D. C., is one of the three living comrades of General Grant in his cadet days at West Point. In a recent letter this venerable gentleman says of Peruna: ••I have tried Peruna after having tried In vain other remedies for ca tarrh, and / can say without reservation that / never felt a symptom of re lief until I had given Peruna the simple trial that Its advocates advise. I do not believe it has a superior either as a remedy for catarrh or as a tonic for the depressing and exhausted condition which is one of the effects of the disease. "-—Benj. F. Hawkes. . The Greatest Family Medicine Ever Discovered. Hon. ,Wm. G. Hunter, ex-member North Carolina Legislature, writes from the Census Office Building, Washington, D. C., as follows: ^ “The greatest family medicine ever discovered, in my opinion, which comes from experience as well as observation, is Peruna. The most common affliction to humankind is a bad cold. Peruna drives it out of doors, wards off catarrh, invigorates and gives fresh strength to ! mind and body. I give Peruna my unqualified endorsement.”—Wm. G. Hunter. Chronic Catarrh of the Stomach Cured By Pe-ru-na. Jas. T. Jakeman, President Elder M or man Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, writes: “1 should be and am a very grateful nr>n for having been recommended the i . r of Peruna for catarrh. 1 had a chronic case of catarrh of the stomach and my system was so filled with differ ent remedies that I had taken, that I sickened at the sight of a medicine bot tle. Peruna was a last resort and it did not tail me, but cured Ine m about three months and I feel that it is a wonderful remedy and gladly give my experience from its use.”—Jas. T. Jakeman. Pe-ru-na Proved a Life Saver. Mr. Louis Byrens, auctioneer, com mission merchant and business broker, 436)4 Richmond street, London, Ont., writes: “ I had been a sufferer with what phy sicians diagnosed as chronic catarrh. I thereby lost the necessary speaking faculties, which almost caused me to discontinue the business of auctioneer. “After spending several hundred dol lars for various medicines and doctor bills without avail, your wonderful rem edy, Peruna, was recommended to me. •‘After using several bottles of this life saver, I found relief, and I am again capable of conducting my auction sales. I wish to convince others, likewise afflicted, of the merits ot your great remedy.”—Louis Byrens. Thousands of Testimonials. We have on file thousands of testi monials like the ones given here. We can give our readers only a slight glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited endorsements of Peruna which we are constantly receiving. past month and am now as well as I can be at theageof eiglvty- four years. I thank you for your valua ble instructions and advice. I first used Peruna fourteen years ago when my health was so bad that I had no hope of staying many days, and after using it I began to pick up. It has helped me ever since. I feel well, but will always have Pernna as my companion.”—Charles F. Benctsson. Suffered a Number ot Years From Systemic Catarrh. Used Peruna as Last Resort, Now la Good Health. Mrs. E. Schoncher, 220)4 S. Olive St. Los Angeles, Cal., president Girl’s Friendly Society, also secretary South Los Angeles Travelers Club, writes: “I was for a number of'years a suf ferer from systemic catarrh. I was very nervous and run down, my ap petite had failed me and my sleep was not restful. I had lost much in weight and looked like a very sick person. My physician advised a change of climate and the medicine / took only gave me temporary relief. “Itried a bottle of Peruna as a last resort and was greatly pleased to find that I felt much improved in a general way and then I bought several bottles more. “I am now in good health and have A good appetite and sleep well. I cannot say too much for Peruna and for what It has done for me.”—K. Schoncher. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent nse in so many homes is that It contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe- runals perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Pernna does not pro duce temporary result.*. It is permanent In its effect. Address Dr. Hartman, President Off The Hartman Sanitar um, Columbus, Ob All correspondence h >ld confidential* j Engineer Dead, Train Flew On. (New York World.) Her engineer. Daniel Mahoney, dead in his cab, the “Fast Flying Virginian” ran wild at sixty miles an hour for many miles over the Pennsylvania Railroad between Trenton and Phil adelphia Sunday night. Through the darkness the Chesapeake & Ohio’s crack train plunged uncontrolled, thundered past danger signals and rattled over switches until its reck less speed warned the fireman that Mahoney’s cautious hand had lost its master-grip on the throttle. The fireman climbed into the cab, found Mahoney dead, seized the air brake lever and the throttle and brought the train to a safe speed be fore it reached the gridiron of tracks and switches outside of Philadelphia. The passengers that filled the eight canary-colored cars of the “F. F. V.” were in happy ignorance that they and the train had most narrowly escaped a disaster. Even the conductor did not know by what a close margin a catastrope had been averted. The “F. F. V.” left Jersey City for the South, as usual, over the Pennsy’s tracks at 5:25 p. m. It halted at Tren ton a few minutes before 7 o’clock, and Mahoney swung down from the cab to oil the locomotive. Earlv as it was, it was dark, for the low-scurry ing sullen clouds of the widespread thunderstorm were sweeping over head. The train had traversed the Tren ton cut and the bridge into Morrisville when the odor of burning waste told Mahoney that they had a hot box. He told his fireman so and leaned for out his cab window to inspect the burn ing journal. “She’ll carrv us to West Philadel phia, anyhow,” said Mahoney, and ho settled himself on his seat, while the fireman went back to the fire-box. The train whizzed on, but soon its speed Increased tremendously. The locomotive rocked and tumbled; tele graph poles, trees, fences, flashed by in what seemed an unending line. Faster, faster the train roared by minor stations. The fireman, with Implicit, confidence in machinery and the engineer, said not a word—then the engine dashed past a red light. He glanced at Mahonev. Another red light gleamed for an instant, disappeared; then another. "What are you doing, Mahoney?” cried the fireman. "You’ve gone by ‘wo red”— The engineer was silent. The fire man knew Mahoney would have told him anyhow to mind hts blanked bus iness, for engineers want no advice from the men who shovel coal. So the silence told the fireman that some thing was wrong with Mahoney. He climbed up to the Ijtench where ‘he en gineer sat. ^ Mahoney was dead. His head and shoulders were hanging out of the window: his head was crushed. Plainly he had leaned far out of the window again to look at the box and a nost had struck him and killed him before he could utter a cry. . Truly a hoodoo had pursued *he engineer. His wife was killed In a trolley accident at Newark a year ago; his turn came. “He That Hasteth to Be Rich.” (Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant.i Every age has its peculiar evil, and the besetting sin of our generation seems to lie a desire to get rich quick, i Sooner or later, however, in spite of | all devices and short cuts, we find | that none today are wiser than one Solomon who declared some centures ago: “He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” In North Carolina about ^he most conspicuous recent example of the get-rich-quick spirit was the scramble to buy Great Western Gold Mining Company stock from Evangelist Fife a --ear or two ago. Fife advertised the stock at ten cents on the dollar of face value, and it is now seen that he could do this very readily, for it de velops that on an investment of only $15,000 cash. s*ock to the amount of $12,000,000 face value was offered to a gullible and credulous public. The Reverend Mr. Fife caught suckers ga lore—but if any Progressive Farmer readers were among them, they found his ad. in another paper, for no amount of money can induce us to allow fakirs to come into our columns for the pur pose of fleecing our readers. Western mining stock is a pretty good thing to let alone, anywhow. Home “Breakfast Food.” (Charlotte Chronicle.) The Cleveland Star, published a) Shelby, tells us that “Mr. James A. Wilson, who is a most intelligent and observant farmer, has prepared and placed on the market a new food pro duct, made from corn, which de serves to equal in popularity the more famous cereals now extant. This food product is thoroughly wholesome, nu tritious and not in the slightest de gree injurious to health.” The Star says that it has been put on sale at a store in Shelby. This Cleveland coun ty farmer is making a move in the right direction. There is no reason why the best of material, in abund ance, should not enter the “breakfast food” market. The public would have confidence in the purity of their pro duct and if put up in neat packages and properly advertised. It ought to have ready sale. Home Coming Week. Shelby, N. C., Aug. 1G.—A tremen dous crowd was here today to attend the exercises of Home-Coming week, and more are arriving on every train and a great time is expected.
