Vol-., writes from Xian Lam, Md.,as billows: “Though somewhat averse to patent medicines, and still more averse to he corning a professional affidavit man, it seems only a plain duty in the present instance to add my experience to the columns already written concerning the curative powers of Peruna. “I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. “1 have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by its use according to directions. “J use it as a preventive whenever threatened with an attack. “Members of my family also use it for like ailments. “We ar« recommending it to our friends.” * » WILLIAMSON’S PLAN OF'CORN CULTURE im ' AW, •4a£. fi£N L KIRBY w00m.i Recommends Pe-ru-na to the Afflicted.

Each tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Po- runa. For Catarrh of the Stomach. Gen. W. W. Duilield, Washington, 1). fb, writes: “I hav« used Peruna in my family and have found it a valuable medicine and take pleasure in recommending it to all who suffer from catarrh of the stomach or who require a tonic of prompt efficacy.” i DEAFNESS CAUSED BY CATARRH- RELIEVED BY PE-RU-NA.

Mr. John C. Nelson, Dayton* Tenn. t geologist and mining engineer, while s Captain in theFederal Army during the Civil War, contracted a case of rbenma- tism.

While the quantity used and the time of application of commercial fer tilizers are important factors in the plan and so stressed, the necessity of vegetable matter in the soil Is fully recognized and Mr. Williamson says: “The place of this (vegetable mat ter) in the permanent improvement of land can never he taken by com mercial fertilizers, for It Is absolute ly impossible to make lands rich as long as they are lacking in vegetable matter.” It is confidently believed that every agricultural authority re cognizes humus as the prime requisite and most universal deficiency In southern soils, and of the greatest need in southern farm practice and that a large majority will agree with Mr. Williamson In designating source of,J»umus for the South.

D. 1, Marefc 23.—"The man who toils for a prmciple enno bles himself by the act.” Reader, did you ever hear the story of the rhyming preacher? If you never did, it will perhaps interest you. . .Once there lived a good minis ter of the gospel, who had a good wife, ft was generally he who gave out the hymns in church, and his good wife would raise the tunes. This they never permitted any one else to do, though he was sometimes absent minded and she was a rather indiffer ent singer. But this didn’t make any difference, they thought. So one Sun day morning our rhyming preacher arose in the pulpit to give out the beginning hymn, but found that he had forgotten his eye glasses. He said; ”My eyes are dim and I can not see, for I have not brought my glasses with me.” And his good wife —modest soul!—took up his words to the tune of “Old Hundred.” Now, of course the preacher and the congre gation both were horrified, and amus ed, too, at this unusual outbreak on Her part. Whereupon the preacher said, in an aggrieved tone: "Oh! take her out, take her out, for she does not know what she is about.” But his good wife, in her eagerness to sing, and heedless of the looks and the titters of those around her, con tinued to sing the senseless but fun ny rhymes repeated by her husband. I am indebted to Mr. Thomas Wal lace for this anecdote. A child of Joe Gill’s, colored, died Tuesday night of measles, bordeing on pneumonia. Your humble scribe has thus far managed to escape the measles, al though it is all around him. It is chiefly negroes who have the disease around here, however, as there are but few white families In this near section who have not already bad It. A few years ago the smallpox came through here, but very few happened to catch it, though some were fright ened for fear they should take It. Mr. and Mrs. H. S- Love gave a party on Wednesday night. Miss Ellen and Mr. Tom Mitchell, Of Hickory Grove, spent Thursday night at Mr. J. R. Hogue’s. A light snow fell here Thursday afternoon. Spring seems to have take a sudden leap back to winter. I had thrown aside my coat, with the hope that the* warm days would con tinue, but I had to put it on again and ’get nearer the fire. Mr. and Mrs. Austin Cobb, of Hick ory Grove, spent Saturday night and Sunday of last week with Mrs. Rach el Burns. I desire to here say a few words about money and its relation to tne general happiness of mankind. This is a ponderous theme, I know, but there are certain phases of It which I believe I can discuss, although I am aware that I am but ill prepared to handle such subjects. Many different writers on the sub ject have given the word “money” many different definitions. But after all, money Is only a man-made article of commerce, made absolutely essen tial to the general welfare of mankind by existing conditions. God created the gold and the silver, but man coined the-dollars. That Is all there is to it. But it is not my purpose to discuss this subject from a political or econo mical point of view. I do not pretend to here say what money should or should not be made of, but I do say ^his much; Money Is useful and valuable only when it is in circula tion. Money never does any one good so long as it is kept hidden away. But when it Is in circulation and rightly used, it may bring prosperity I to the door of every home in the land. ' It will make the desert blossom as the rose, if it is used in irrigating the j land. It will build railways and bridges over mountains and across j o’er the dark sea-foam;” it will de clare war and dictate peace. Thus, you see, money is all-powerful, from | a worldly point of view. But there is also some things which money will not do. “Wealth cannot buy health,’ says the old proverb. And if I give my life and disregard my honor, in order to get money, It is not likely to do me any lasting good when I get it. Say some writers: "What is money? You can neither eat. drink nor wear It. Then why do you spend your lives in the mad rush for money? Now, I am tired of this kind of reason ing. To be sure, it Is true. But it is also true that, if we are to live a lit tle better than savages, we must have money. Wie cannot sit down penniless and live on the hackneyed phrases of those who are paid to talk. Education, coupled to one’s natural talents (if he has any), will put a person above the general race of mankind. This is Inevitable. Hence it follows that some need more than others to live In this world. But there ought to be a fair division of the money. It is not fair that a few should own the largest portion of It. There Is no justice In a sys tem which permits the few to rule at the expense of the many. The money-king Is the most dangerous foe our government has today. But as my "essay” Is already growing too long, I will conclude It by saying that, money is hurtful to the happiness and peace of mind of one only when one makes it his God. This, gentle read er, is my opinion on the money-value question. Sometime I may tell the readers why I think "In God we trust” ought to be retained on bur money. Since Evelyn Nesbit has succeede4 in saving Thaw’s neck, she seems tq have no further use for him. Mr. Ennis and Miss Emma McCar* ter spent Thursday night and Friday at Mr. Bob Robinson’s.
