I tried several ‘so- called* catarrh remedies, and without avail. 1 took fifteen bottles of Perune and See bottles of Manalin, and 1 am completely cured.

Mrs. Caroline Trunk, 1705 Jefferson Ave., Peoria, 111., writes; “l had a very painful trouble for six years, consisting of rheumetlsm in the beck and in the thigh. I used a great deal of medicine, butitdid not help me. Then I used Dr. Hartman’s Perune, and two bottles of this entirely freed me of the rheumatism. I wish to keep both Peruna and Manalin always in the house. This is the best medicine that I can recommend any one to take for rhenmatism.” Catarrh All Through My System. Mr. Robert Metiers, Murdock, (’ass Co., Nob., Box 45, writes: “I commenced to take Pernna the first of last February. I took it as nearly as possible according to direc tions. I also got a Peruna almanac and for the first time learned that my trouble was ayatemlc ceterrb. 1 had catarrh from my heou all through my system.

He told me he took Peruna last winter, and he is in the best of health, working every day and speaks highly of your medicine. I shall feel it my duty to recommend Pernna to all my friends." A great many testimonials from peo ple of high rank end people in the ordinary walks of life, are received every asooth.

I am eighty-three and a half years old, and feel as young as I did ten years ago. “I visited recently among some old friends, who said I looked as young as I did twenty years ago.

Center, Miss., Oct., 7.—I note In The Ledger of September 23rd reml- nlscenses of “W. R. L.” I was much Interested In It. The falling of the meteors occurred on the night of No vember 13, 1833. Such an occurrance had been occurring every thirty-three years as far back as any record, ac cording to astronomy. On the night of November 13, 1833, they were to fall again and did. I saw it and the scene was grand indeed. Many peo ple were frightened, thinking meteors were stars and the end of the world was right then. Some prayed, they were so frightened. Accordingly on the night of the 13th of November, 1899, they were to fall again. Many astronomers and scientists sat up and watched but the meteors’ fall did not take place. In 1833 the falling me teors were much greater In some parts of the world than in the United States. "W!. R. L.” refers to the year the pigeons were so numerous in South Carolina. They have in Mississippi been just as numerous two different times. Many years ago their raising ground was in Kentucky. As the country settled up they kept moving westward until they reached the Rocky Mountains. They then, accord ing to statements of tourist, turned south through Mexico and Central America to the valley of the Amazon river, in South America, where the dense forest and deadly malarial at mosphere will forever protect them from molestation from white men. The dry year referred to by W. R. L. I remember. I was a jdoughboy. There was no rain from May 1st to August 15th. The upland corn was a total failure. Some corn was made on the bottom. Those who had large areas of bottom land made corn enough to do them. Many people moved off. In Western North Caro lina they made good crops of corn, having rain a plenty and stores of corn on hand. It was called Egypt by the people who hauled corn from there, paying 50 cents per bushel. Some hauled corn from East Tennes see. The upland corn in South Car olina was all cut down for feed, as there were no ears on it. People sowed large areas in turnips, cooked them and fattened their hogs on them. 1864 was a rather wet season but wheat and oats were fine. Peo ple made plenty of com to do them. In 1874 the best crop of corn w r as made in South Carolina I ever saw. The 15th of April, 1849, was snowy and cold here. After I moved to Mis sissippi I found chestnut and sassa fras timber was all dead. Citizens told me the freeze of April 15th, 1849, killed them. I. Peeler. pondfleld paragraphs. Pondfleld.

There is but one fault to this place; that is some of the men play off sick to go fishing, mere is not any use for a blind tiger to go there If he does not like a tight and hot foot race, because this is Mr. J.
