The carnival will begin Monday and continue till Saturday night and great crowds are expected to attend from all over the county. The carnival company comes highly endorsed and rrtcommended by the people of other towns where it has stopped, and its numerous attractions are all good. The carnival is in Greenville this week and the Greenville News says of it: “The special train of ten cars bring ing the tents and the members of the Barkoot Carnival Company with their apparatus and scenery arrived in the city early yesterday morning over the Charleston and Western Carolina rail way from Colunbia. In less than half an hour a dozen or more teams were at work with hundreds of men, getting the materials to the ground and raising the tent city with its mys terious interior and gaudy scenery. “Manager Barkoot is one of the few really experienced men in the carni val business. He has played almost every city of improtance in Virginia and North Carolina this au‘umn and comes here from the State fair at Columbia with the best of recommen dations. He is managing his business, with more capital than some of the concerns that have struck Greenville in the past, and people connected wi*h his shows are of the legitimate amusement class found at Coney Is land and other resorts. “This evening the crowds which gather on Main street to take in the carnival will have no trouble in lo cating the numerous shows which are dotted at every corner from one end of the business section to *he other. A feature of the carnival is an Ital ian band of twelve pieces.” William Jefferies, R. M. Wilkins, Henry M. McAden, D. C. Ross, DIRECTORS: J. A. Carroll, B. L. Hamks, Maynard smyth, T-|M.

Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: “My wife has been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her case has baffled the skill of some of the most noted phy sicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. She was also passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. “In June, 1895,1 wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once com menced, and have to say it completely cured her. “About the same time I wrote yon about my own case of catarrh, which had been of twenty-five years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. / commenced to use Peruna according to your Instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. John O. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years’ exper ience with Peruna: “/ will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. I am still cured of catarrh.”—John O. Atkinson, Inde pendence, Mo., Box 272. Mrs. Alla Schwandt, Sanborn, Minn., writes: <</ have been troubled with rheuma tism and catarrh for twenty-five yean. Could not sleep day or night. After having used Peruna I can sleep and nothing bothers me now. If I ever am affected with any kind of sickness Peruna will be the medicine I shall use. My son was cured of catarrh of the larynx by Peruna.”—Mrs. AIM Schwandt. Why Old People are Especially Liable to Systemic Catarrh. When old age comes on, catarrhal dla* eases come also. Systemic catarrh it almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that entirely meeta these cases. Nothing but an effectiTO systemic remedy can cure them.
