A Narrow Escape—Enjoyable Christ
mas Exercises.
Ravenna, Dec. 22.—Mr. Bryant B.
Fowler, an old Confederate soldier,
came very near losing his life last
Thursday night while returning from
the exercises at the Ravesna school
house. He. with one of his grand
children was on his way home
and while attempting to cross the j feared, will prove fatal,
road in front of Mrs. M. N. Chalk’s
r'' C! idence. stepped between the wheels
ot a buggy, throwing him down and
dislocating his hip and bruising his
arm considerably. Mr. Fowler was
placed in a buggy by some men pres-
ei't and was soon at bis home and Dr.
T. te was summoned and he did all
he could to ease his pain. We extend
our sympathies and hope that Mr.
Fowler's injuries are not as bad as
they seemed last night, when your
correspondent left him at 11:45.
The exersises at the Ravenna school
house last nisht were simply good all
the way through, as they were carried
out so nicely. The debate "Is it
right for men without children to help
pay the public school taxes,” argued
by Misses Lona and Xnnie Gi'een,
Laura Brown and Pearl Burgess for
the negative, and Messrs. Lamar Lit
tlejohn. C. D. Pettit. C. P. Chalk and
Baxter Brown, for the affirmative, was
fine; a little song by Myrtle Brown,
I think needs especial mention;
"Old Santa Claus” acted by S. L. Lit
tlejohn, was indeed good, and “Santa
Claus” aided by C. D. Pettit and Miss
Ethel Walker, gave the presents to
the scholars in up-to-date style.
All present will join me in saying
the exercises were enjoyed by all who
were fortunate enough to get into the
house, and Miss Ethel certainly had
her scholars well drilled and the
praise all belongs to her. We con
gratulate her.

ng the Macedonia school, is home for

Advertising is called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment than
the proprietor who oversees
it. Other things being
equal, nobody should be
ab.’e to write more convinc
ingly of the articles he of
fers for sale.
In a store where the employer aella
goods side by side with his clerks it is
rsre that tha employer will not ba the
best salesman.
The reason is simple. He
knows the goods from A to
Z. He probably has pur
chased them. ' He knows
his aims. His arguments
cany weight because they
are convincing.
The same arguments pre
sented in the same way,
with the same enthusiastic
spirit, the same knowledge
of detail, would attract
new customers if presented
through the advertising col
umns of this paper.

How Consumption Develops.
Nine cases of consumption out of ten
occur in this way:
A person catches cold. The cold is not
properly cured, and another cold is
caught.
This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is ineffectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold is caught and %
cough develops. Cough syrups are re
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
By and by the patient gets tired of
taking medicines and cough syraps and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to develop and Ihe
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient Is in the first
stages of consumption.
It was jnst in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind., became sick.
She caught a cold, and not considering
it serious, neglected it, thinking as
many others do, that it would “wear off.”
However, it clung to her tenaciously,
and in two weeks she found her health
in a serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had been hronght
to her notice, and she took a course of
this remedy before it was too late.
In a week the cough and cold were
broken, and a three weeks’ treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not a day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have a similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
a cold. The next step is a failure to cure
itpromptlj’. The third step is the de
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. It is
then consumption in the first stage.
At any time during the progress of ca
tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to
its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
If yon have taken a cold, bny Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the
ginning will do more good than a hall
dosen bottles after the catarrh baa
fastened Itself on the mngs.
Thousands of Testimonials.
Wo have on file thousands of testi
monials from people who bare been
cured of catarrh of the lungs by Peruna.
We can give our readers only a slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
endorsements we are receiving every
month. Noother physician in the world
has received such a volnme of enthu.
siastic letters of thanks as Dr. Hartman
for Peruna.
