Disordered Liver, Constipation. Mr. W.O. Clement, Assistant Manager “Rome Georgian,” Rome,Ga., writes: “It affords me pleasure to voluntarily testify to the true merits of your wonderful Peruna. “I-have for several years been suffering from disordered liver and chronic constipation, for which I had tried a great many remedies, but none did me any good. My whole system was so thoroughly overcome that I was easy to catch cold and the consequence was that a chronic case of catarrh was fast developing. “X have been taking Peruna for six weeks and am happy to say that it has had the desired effect. My liver is in good condition, constipation disappeared, and 1 no longer feel any of the symptoms of catarrh. “In truth I am now in better health and feel stronger than I have for several years and it is all due to the wonderful effects of Peruna.” Systemic Catarrh.

By the terms of adeal closed Monday, Mr. C. F. Raabe, of Continental, Ohio, became the owner of one-half interest in the Decatur Fertilizer plant, purchasing the ini erest owned by Wil! Hurst, and he took control of same this morning. Mr. Raabe is a substantial German, who will soon be recognized as an active citizen of the community. He ws!l purchase a dwelling property in this, city and remove his family here as soon as possible. He has had fifteen years experience in the line of business which he is now entering and expects to build a large plafft here within a few years. New machinery will be added at once, making the plant absolutely odorless and everything will be done toward establishing a modern factory. Isadore Kalver retains his half interest in the company, but the stock company which was being organized will not materialize now. Mr. Will Hurst who has operated the factory, will continue in the employ of the company but Mr. Raabe will have the management. There seems to be a great future for such concerns and this company should certainly prosper.

Washington, April 13. —That the Aldrich currency bill as passed by the senate, will not be concurred in by the house, is the conviction of many Republican members of the lower chamber. Indeed, that any currency bill will be passed at this session il not positively assured, but if plans which were matured by the RepubPcan leaders in the house are approved by a Republican caucus to be held next week the Aldrich bill in an amended form will be come a law. The Republican leaders have ascertained in a purely informal way that with certain amendments the Aldrich bill ca-1 get enough support in the house to assure its passage and Senator Aldrich it is stated, has informed them that, the amendments they have in mini will be satisfactory to the majority of the senate. e —o — Mr. Alexander, employed by the Fort Wayne Packard Piano company, will be here permanently after May 1, 1908. He will then devote his entire time to Decatur and the surrounding towns.
