✓ JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT Suffered Four Months From the After-Effects of the Grip-Relieved By Pe-ru-na. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerninq Pop ular People anrt Short Items of that Sectloa Catarrh Victims Susceptible Peoplo who have hud catarrh of the head, throat, nose or lurif's are much more liable to catch the grip than other people. The reason for this Is that the mucous membranes of the head, nose, throat or lungs are injured by the catarrh and the germs which cause the grip find easy entrance into the system. It Is a well established fact that per fectly sound mucous membranes consti tute a barrier to the entrance of disease germs. The best precaution any . can have against tlie grip is to be periectly free from catarrh. Peruna a Preventive. As a preventive of grip, Peruna has done a great deal of good in the world by its beneficial effect upon the mucous membranes. Catarrh has another untoward in fluence to be noticed in connection with the grip. Victims of catarrh who have had the grip find themselves after the acute stages have passed, in very weakened and deplorable conditions. After-Effects of Grip. The whole nervous system is im- f paired; the digestive organs deranged; the circulation of the blood feeble and Irregular. All these symptoms are pro duced, more or less, by the grip, and especially in people who have had ca tarrh previous to the grip. W. H. Parsons is Ex-State Senator and Ex-Special Judge of the Supreme Court of Texas, and was also IJrigadier-General in Confederate Army. I n a letter from 925 H street, N. W., Washington, D. C., this prominent gentle man says: “Upon the recommendation of personal friends and many strong testi monials as to the efficacy of Peruna In the treatment of the numerous symptoms of the grip with which I have been afflicted for four months $ past, I have been induced to undergo a treatment with this justly cele- ; brated formula. 1 fee! a decided change for the better after using it only r one week. ( “it /•; especially good in toning up the stomach and has a decided effect ) upon my appetite. I therefore feel much encouraged that i am on the ■ road to complete restoration. “My numerous friends in Texas, where I have had the honor to command a brigade of her Veteran Cavalry in a four years’war, may accept this vol untary testimon'il to the merits of Peruna as a sense of obligation on my part for its wonderful efficacy.”—W. H. Parsons. It is no longer merely a theory or an assertion that Peruna is applicable to such cases. Trompt Belief. In all of the after-effects of the grip, Peruna gives prompt relief. This has been the experience of such a great multitude of people that Peruna has come to he a standard remedy for these cases. If a person has not used Pernna to prevent the grip, the next best thing is to use Peruna to remove the after-ef fects of the grip. A Safe, Beliable Bemedy. Even during the acute stages .of the grip, Peruna taken in small, oft-re- It has been noticed that those who take Pernna during the first stages of the grip generally make a more rapid and complete recovery. A Most Effective Medicine For La Grippe. Robt. L. Madison, A. M., Principal of Cullowhee High School, Painter, N. C., is chairman of tho Jackson County Board of Education. He is a writer of occasional verse and has contributed to a number of leading papers and maga zines. In speaking of Peruna, Mr. Madison says: “I am hardly ever without Peruna in my home. It is tho mosteffective med- peated doses, is so efficient that many ' ieir.e that I have ever tried for la grippe, people use nothing else. 1 It also cured my wife of uasal catarrh.” Glass FOR SALE.

Measurement Shows It to Be Shallower Than Reported. The United States geological survey has Just complete d a line of spirit lev els through Death valley. California, and much to the surprise of every one familiar with the region has ascertain ed that the depth of that area is not so great as was supposed. The final com putations of the results have not yet been made, but tiie preliminary figures give for the lowest point a depth of 270 feet below sea level. Bennett’s well, which is near this point, is 200 feel below sea level. These figures may be altered by two or three feet when the final computations are made, but they are probably not more than three feet in error. The geological sur rey now has elevation marks on the highest and lowest points of dry land In the United States. It is a strange coincidence that these two extremes are both in southern Cal ifornia and only seventy-five miles apart. Mount Whitney Is a foot or two over 14,500 feet above sea level, while Death valley, as above stated, is 270 feet below. Before the Salton sink, also In southern California, was flood ed by the Colorado river It contained the lowest point of dry land In the United States, a spot 28T feet below sea level. Previous estimates of the depth of Death valley, based on .barometer read ings, gave for the lowest point figures varying from 250 to 450 feet below sea level. The level line of the geological survey is believed to he the first accu rate determination of elevations In that locality that has ever been made. Wilklnsville, April 17.—Winter still n«‘stles in the lap of spring. The ex- ten* of damage done by the cold weather to fruit, and vegetation can’t be estimated just now. though It is considerable, we think. We attended the meeting of Hnoree Presbyterv at Clifton last week. Ouite a goodly number of pe<v pie atte ded especially Ihe night, meetings. In our report from that place we should have said that Hev. S. P. Fulton was a missionary to Ja pan instead of China. Ills address on f ore|gn missionary work on Wod- tr day night, was very Interesting • l listened to with great attention a crowded house. Much of the success of the Japa- ■ nesc |n their late war with Russia is I due to their mission. We had intend : ed to write a Utter concerning tl;* work of the Presbytery but think it too much of a task to undertake as the minutes will give all this in a more systematic wav and be a great j deal more interesting. We met quite a number of old friends and acquaintances during our trip to Clifton and would be glad to speak of them. Clifton is an extensive mill town with an electric car line connecting it with Spartanburg which makes a trip everv hour from early in tl\f morning till 10 o’clock p. m. The Presbyterians have built a fine church there and the Methodist have one nearing completion. The Baptist have a large church building there in which Enoree Presbytery held its meeting fourteen years ago. One no ticeable feature of the Clifton people is the fraternal feeling existing among the various churches. Metho dists and Baptists alike, worked to make the Presbyterv a success and vied with each other in entertaining the delegates. Rev. Mf. Stephensom the Presbyterian minister, is very popular with the other churches. He is a young man and a consecrated church worker, and did all in his power to make all feel at home. Enoree Presbyterv will meet at Mbuntainville the 15th of October at 3 o’clock p. m.. Revs. S. P. Fulton and Thos. H. Ivow with Elders W. H. Stewart and J. C. Bailey, were elected delegates to the general assembly which meets at Birmingham. Ala., next months. We regret to say that the little or * phan boy that Mr. and Mrs. Dagnall, of Hickory Grove, got some months ago, fei] in the fire and got so badly burned that his recovery is very un certain. His right hand and face is badly burned and erysipelas has set in. Dr. Hood, his physician, has but little hopes of his recovery. Mt. and Mrs. Dagnall are very much hurt on account of the accident. They are very much attached to the child. It is an exceptionally bright little fel low and he has our sympathy. Mr. and Mrs. Dagnall have no children of their own. Rev. T. F. Boozer is expected to preach at Salem next Sabbath. 21st. at 11 o’clock a. m. People are planting cottor and corn as fast as they can get their lands prepared. Camp Jefferies U.

We have received a copy of The Piedmont Observer, a new paper published in Blacksburg. It is a bright newsy paper. The following sif-tuifidant editoral appearing in the Union Times of the 12th, instant, is not only a compli ment paid to the people of Cherokee founty. but to others as well: We are told that a large basketful of letters was received by the sheriff of Cherokee county from all parts of the State asking permission to wit ness the hanging of Tom Harris, the murderer, at Gaffney last Friday.

Madam rumor says that of the several different routes surveyed tv.- the Southern and West ern company r> cently that Jown Broad river is reporti d its the most favorable.

Those who have made a critical examination sav the fruit is all kill ed. On our way to Clifton Tuesday we called on our old fri< •''* Mr. Jesse J # Mabry, who. we are glad to say. we found in good health and in the re asonable enjoyment of all bis facul ties.

Alex ander had a big fire on his place. It broke out from where some of his hands were at work in a new-ground, blew across the Howell's ferry road and was sweeping everything before it. They had it under control when we came along a little before sun down..; Mrs. J. L. S. had her first straw berry pie this season yesterday. The appalling state of affairs in Northern China caused by the famine which is now doing its devastating work in that section calls upon every man. woman and child in America to do what thev can to relieve the suf fering. We who are fairly well fed. clothed and comfortably housed know nothing of this calamity and perhaps care as little. Its no credit to us either. The report of our mission aries from this part of the field tell the grewsome tale, and its up to us to do something for the sufferers. Won’t every one of our ministers bring this to the attention of their congregations next Sabbath and urge immediate action? The Christian Herald of New York, has already sent $3o.(>00 in cash for the alleviation of suffering and has pledged itself to the State department at Washington to furnish at least $200,000 more.
