IMG. COUNTRY HOME BURNS. M. S. Haynesworth's Residence Near Florence Destroyed. Florence, April 4:?The handsome country home of Mr and Mrs M S Haynesworth about three miles from this city was burned yesterday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock. The fire caught in the ceiling between the house and the kitchen. It was one of the handsomest homes in the county and was full of family heirlooms and home treasures that could not be valued in dollars and cents. The house was worth about $12,000 and cannot be replaced, because all of the lumber entering into it had been so carefully selected and seasoned. It was insured for about half its value. The contents of the upper floors were destroyed, but most of the fur- j niture and goods on the first floor were saved. This was not only one of the hand somest homes in the county but one of the most hospitable. Only the day before it had been the gathering place for the Daughters of the Confederacy, who had been royally entertained there. Mr Haynesworth is the father of Mrs W E Jenkinson of Kingstree. Death of Mr. V. W. Droze. Mr W W Droze. a well-known farmer and good citizen of Williamsburg count), died at his home near Greelyville March 21, and his remains were interred at the Richburg burying ground Sunday at 4 o'clock. He was fifty-two years of age. He was born on Santee river and raised at Pawille, in Clarendon county, but moved to Williamsburg about fifteen years ago. Mr Droze was a consistent member of the Free Will Baptist church. He leaves a widow and eight children to mourn their loss. His death is a great blow to our community, but we hope that our loss is his gain. A Friend. Habitual builders of air castles rarely acquire any real estate.

Jacksonville is a new city, and yet it Is old. If one reads the Antiquities of Florida, he finds that the territory now covered by this marvelous city was fought over nearly four hundred years ago by the sturdy adventurers of the 18th century. The early settlements of the Florida peninsula had their genesis and origin in the religious troubles experienced by the Huguenots under Charles IX, king of France. Jean Rlbault headed the first expedition to the new world in 1562 for the purpose of founding a colony on what Is now the East Coast of Florida. These adventurers first landed at the mouth of the 9t. Johns river, twenty-five miles below the present city of Jacksonville Here they erected a monument, but afterwards sailed up the coast and established a settlement at Port Royal, South Carolina. This settlement was abandoned after a stormy year with the Indians. Another expedition came to the East Coast from France in 1564. This adventure was beaded by Laudonaere. His first landing was at the present site of 8t. Augustine, but in a short time he sailed up the coast and entered the St. Johns river. About halfway between the mouth of the St Johns and the present city of Jacksonville the expedition ereoted a fort and named It Fort Caroline. King Philip II., of Spain, through hatred of the religious faith of the Huguenots, sent an expedition to Florida to drive out the French. Fort Caroline fell before an attack by this expedition. The site of this old fort is but a few miles below Jacksonville. History is full of evidences that both the French and Spanish brought their warships as far , up St. Johns river as Jacksonville, i They were the first white men to set foot on East Florida. During the Confederate reunion steamboat excursions will carry vetr I erans and visitors to these points of historic Interest on the beautiful St. Johns river, which bounds the city of Jacksonville on the south. A boat ride on this river is worth coming miles to enjoy. In many respects it is the most worderful body of water in America. It is a river of sensations, fed by never-railing springs. At points above Jacksonville it reaches a width of five or six miles, and it is doubtful if at any point between Jacksonville and Palatka it is less than a mile wide. The Indians called it Welaka, meaning, in their tongue, "chain of lakes." The St. Johns is navigable for about 200 miles, and palatial steamers make regular trips from Jacksonville to the head of navigation. The largest oceangoing vessels come to Jacksonville with passengers and freight from all parts of the world. The traffic that this river brings to Jacksonville is an important factor in its business, and the river itself la A wonderful and delightful revelation to the tourist. - . ^ A. I You Have Nasal C< Not Very B It Bothers Some people have nasal catarrh and know it Not only the patient knows it but all of his friends know it Many people know it that are not his friends. Just those people who happen to meet him in the street car or on the public square. That sort of a nasal catarrh need not be described. Everybody knows the symptoms without their disgusting recital. Peruna helps such cases every day. Thousands have attested to this fact unsolicited. Peruna benefits even the worst cases of old nasal catarrh. But there are cases of nasal catarrh not so evident. One nostril is stopped today. The other nostril is stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe freely through the nostrils. Easy to sneeze. Mucus in the nose too thick. Sometimes forms brownish lumps. Catch cold easily. Never quite free of a cold. These symptoms describe a case of subacute nasal catarrh. Many people have it, and some wno would not admit they have nasal catarrh. He knows he must blow his nose freely. He remembers that he does not breathe easily through the nose. ]'Tk&Bt j will take special care day or night. We us< compounding.

Or, still better, nasal catarrh just beginning and becoming chronic. ( Ttfnw is the time to take Perun&. A little Peruna will do wonders at this stage of the disease. Snuff a little weak salt water every morning (see "Ills of Life," sent free by Peruna Co., Columbus, Ohio), just enough to clear out the nose. Take a dose of Peruna before breakfast. Hold it in the mouth. Let it trickle down slowly and breathe the fumes of it out through the nose as you swallow It. This will stop an incipient case of nasal catarrh In a few weeks. Stop it entirely. The nose becomes clear again. The breath Is sweet The breathing free. No more snoring, or snuffling, or sniffling, or catching cold easily. All of these things are in the past An army of men and women have ! been benefited by Peruna.
