Stimulated by a vigorous climate, surrounded by a fertile country, peopled by the best blood of the over crowded east, it is a city of hustle, of great achievements conceived and wrought out. Mr. Taylor, of Minneapolis, Minnis one of this sort of men. A newspaper man. A political worker. An Englishman by birth. He has been in this country nineteen years. He has resided to the northwest, Winnipeg, Fargo, and for the last ten years in Minneapolis. 4 Mr. Taylor is a friend of Peruna and does not conceal his friendship. He Is thoroughly en*hused with the belief that Peruna Is a great remedy. He has a right to feel so. For several years he suffered with dyspepsia. This caused him to have very had health. Newspaper advertisements would never have influenced him to take Peruna. It was friends that persuaded him to try the remedy. In less than a week he needed no more persuasion. He saw that Peruna was doing him good. He is able to say In a letter to the Peruna Company, Columbus, Ohio: lever felt better In my life. I am \g to all men or women who suffer [ consider Peruna great remedy. ?ta11 ttont fpAA hv the Pertinn. | Peruna L,uolcjr Day AlmaHarvesterl agons I ears the Weber wagon |f .ocepted as th? standard | iverywnere. ? moam, at ?; l was ever so good as the [i mi the market. fii poc tha year btne eqaal ot the I; eery wtfi where quality and od, the Weber and Ootamta* y.( ?". re?

Lang* Orowd A Mured the Reunion City. Jacksonville, Fl&>?Southern social circles are agife taking an intereet In the great soolal, military and senti mental annual meeting that bring* together a crowd of from 76,000 to 1W.OOO peopls to do honor to the ?tConfederate soldier?the reunion of the survivors of the Confederate armies. The reunion is to be held this rear at Jacksonville, Fla., Mar 6, 7, 8 inactive. It it the firtt time that the ei?Confederates have seleotvl Florida as the reunion state, and uaoommon Interest attaches to the meeting here and throughout the South. Owing to the eomparativeVr early date of the reunion, the divisions, brigades and oamps made their appointments of sponsors and maids early, and theee todies oompose the eooial side of the fftftUbn. Thar are known as the offlolM ladies of the meeting, entertained dial Taorto di the bousa.

Mapping out a soola! program, therefore, for a Confadarata reunion Is a task that demands the bast of talent In tha entertainment line. There must be dinners, receptions, balls, trips to points of Interest around the reunion oltlee and anything else In the line of social entertainment the committee may device. The orowning event OT tha weak in society, however, la tha annual ball for maids and sponsors. If the reunion is held in a oity where a hall large enough to aocomaiodate several hundred danotng oouplas at oeoe can not be secured. a danoiag pavOfton Is ooaetniot ed for the oooatlon, Tills pavilion ooneiats of a large oanvas tact, wall floored and Hghtedj K la alao supplied with oomfortable iMd on tho grandstand order, whore several thousand spectators m%j witaoaa tha ball. If a reader has not seen one of these annual balls at a Confederate reunion he has but limited idea of Its else and brilliancy. Nothing to equal It in splendor can be seen In the United States, unless It be the Inauguration ball at the national capital, now fallen into social desuetude. If the Inauguration ball is put out of the contest, the annual ball of the Confederate reunion, at whloh the maids and sponsors hold sway, la the greatest eooial function of the United States. The eoeial side of the Jacksonville reunion will be participated In by representatives of all Southern States, the border states and a few western commonwealths. There are sixteen state divisions of the United Confed rtto Veterans' Association, u roilows: South Carolina, North Carolina. Virginia, Waat Virginia, Maryland. LosdsUna. Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Mlselmippl. Qaorfia, Kentucky, Texan, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkaasae. Each elate eenda large delegations of young women to the reunion, selected with regard to their social standing at home. In addition to the state delegations, the commander-in-chief has his own official lad lea, chosen from the South at large. There are three departments, known aa the Army of Northern Virginia department, Army of Tennessee department and Trans-Mlsslsslppl department. Bach department appoints maids and sponsors and sends them to all reunions. The scope of country oovered by these many organisations has abont half the population of the United States; henoe. the interest in a Confederate reunion is always widespread. Society circles in all of this territory are interested In the Jacksonville reunion, and the event will bring here one of the largest crowds of young people ever assembled In the South. Florida appeals to the ? ? A# tf. flnntaM anil (ta JUUn|5, Lvalue ui *W? uvnvis ?uu iv* wonders?its poetry, Its songs and its attractive history. Rivers and ocean, gulf and bays have interest all their own. The palm and the pine, liveoak and holly, and a hundred other forest trees that abound throughout the state as nowhere else on the continent, invest Florida with an interest as wide r.s the nation. Greater interest attaches to the Jacksonville reunion than to any recent meeting of the Confederates, and preparations are being made to entertain a large crowd of people in May. The population of Jacksonville is about 85,000. The assessed value of taxable property is $58,000,000. Twelve years ago it was but $13,000,000, showing an increase of more than 400 per cent for the period. The municipal tax levy is 11.5 mi'ls, one of the lowest in the country.

Sullivan.] Error Is not a fault of oar knowledge, but a mistake of our Judgment It Is almost as difficult to make a man unlearn his errors as his knowledge. Malinformatlon Is more hopeless than nonlnformatlon, for error is always more hopeless than Ignorance. Ignorance Is a blank sheet on which we may write* but error Is a scribbled one from which we most first erase. Ignorance Is contented to stand still with her back to the truth, but error Is more presumptuous and proceeds In the wrong direction. Ignorance has no I light, but error has farther to go be ak? Mn oit trr.Hi than hat 1UIO DUO Vttu , Ignorance. So that these mall order traders may not plead Ignorance in extenuation of their offense we give below a categorical list of things which the mall order houses do not do. We trust they will prove eye openers to the unwise. What Catalogue Houeae Do Not Do. The retail catalogue house* do not buy the fanner's produce. at ( They do not buy the fanner's stock and hogs. * at They do not he-'p to educate the fanner's children. at at They do not pay any taxes in your community. ft at They do not help support your schools, churches and charitable lnstiI tutlons. * at They do not encourage tie farmer's boy or young men In small cities to | engage In business. x x They Dont Build Your Roads. They do not help to bulid your roads or care for your streets. X X They do not sell you as good a grade of goods as you oan buy In your own home town. X X They do not show you goods before yon pay for them. X X They do not deliver promptly goods that you buy from them. j XX J They do not advocate the building op of country towns. w w They do sot oppose the centralto tic i of business in the large dtlea. It * They do sot. In return for the term-1 er co nan leer's trade?the termer who buys their clothing, household goods, farm Implements, etc.?buy the termer's butter, eggs, cheese, grain and wood. ? ? They do not buy your grain, butter, cheese and stock from pictures and pay In advance the same ae you de, ft * They do not buy anything from the farmer or consumer from a picture, t It They do not spend a dollar of their money with the farmer or consumer. * ? They never spend a dollar with your local merchant It * They do not furnish employment te a single resident of your community. They'll Not Give You Credit They do not extend to you credit, as does the local merchant when you are hard up. They do not sympathize with you at a time when you have sickness in your family. They do not sympathise with yoo when your wife or children ate taken from von. They do not want to see your local merchant prosper In business. They do not do anything for anybody except themselves. Does the small city, town or village ever see a dollar of their money? Like a Hug* Octopus. The above, it wonld seem, shows a good and sufficient number of reasons why this mail order octopus should be left severely alone by both the farmer and the residents of small cities and towns who have thoughtlessly lent it their patronage. It is spreading out over the land, daily gaining In strength and magnitude and gradually but surely sapping the lifeblood of the small communities, reducing property values, endangering local Investments and causing a con ditlon of chaos and misery everywhere. It is a monster of local destruction, this retail catalogue house, and we regret to say that its growth Is entirely due to the susceptibility of the farmers and residents of email towns who ! patronize It extensively to their own ' financial Injury. Good Bowels I An Growing Children Need a Mild Laxative to Foster Regular Bowel Movement. As a child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother, an^ as the functions of the bowels are of the utmost importance to health, great attention should be paid to them. Diet is of great importance, and the mother should watch the effect of certain foods. A food will constipate one and not another, and so we have a healthy food like eggs causing biliousness to thousands,and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many. It is also to be considered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking place ' in the young man or young woman. ' The system has not yet settled itself < to its later routine. ? A very valuable remedy at this 1 stage, and one which every growing 1 boy and girl should be given often < or occasionally, according to the individual circumstances, is Dr Cald- ^ well's Syrup Pepsin. This is a lax- 1 ative and tonic combined, so mild 1 that it is given to little babies, and < yet equally effective in the most ro- ' bust constitution. At the first sign < of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night 1 on retiring, and prompt action will ' follow in the morning. It not only 1 acts on the stomach and bowels but its tonic properties build up and 1 strengthen the system generally, ] which is an opinion shared by Mr John Dey, of Bloomfield, N J. He 1 has a large family and at ages where 1 Trio Topics. ] Trio, April 13:?The weather here ^ has been fine for the past few days. Mr James Bryan visited Georgetown Tuesday on business.

Mr Dey considers it the right laxative for young and old and has found none better for young children. The use of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will teach you to avoid cathartics, salts and pills as they are too harsh for the majority and their e fleet is only temporary.

Mr Epps served in the lower House last session and was one of the leaders of that body. His popularity in. his home county was attested by the fact last election that he swept the coupty and headed4 the legislative delegation, polling the largest number of votes. Mr Epps will have as an opponent Senator John H Clifton, who is seeking re-election. Senator Clifton ia one of the best stump speakers hi the State, and in the Senate wan recognized as a leader.
