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.

Jackson, for whom the city was
named. In return for valuable aerv-j
lcee rendered the state In ita Indian
troubles by Oen. Jackson, the city was
named In his honor. From a village
of 1,500 population a year after the
close of the war, Jacksonville has,
frown Into a mode m elty of S6.000. j
There Is no more progressive oity In
the South. It is thoroughly abreast

Hons that the city and community affords.
This constant stream of travel

seas and Investments, new oltiiens are
acquired every year?active, progressive
young men, with brain and capital,
who Join in the work of making
Jacksonville a worthy product of the
20th oentury.
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.

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.

Or, still better, nasal catarrh just beginning

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 !

as well become one of the benefited
ones as to allow it to go on any j
further.
