North Carolina, write! the following letter to The Penina Drug Mannf ar tawing Company: “I suffered with etomaeh trouble and indigestion for some time, and nothing that I ate agreed with me. “I was very nervous and experienced a continual feeling of uneasimss and fear. “I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. I found in one of your Peruna books » description of my symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He said I had catarrh j of the stomach. *‘l took Peruna and Manalin and fol- ■ lowed his directions and can now say that 1 feel as well as I ever did. "I hope that ail who are afflicted with ■ the same symptoms will take Peruna, Is it has certainly cured me.”

WAS ILL LONG From Dropsy and Ulcers of the Stomach and Finally Was Relieved After being a constant sufferer for more than eighteen months from dropsy and ulcers of the stomach, Stanford Parker Stevens, son of George and Elizabeth Stevens, of Union township, died this morning at eight o’clock. The deceased was born in Adams county, January 18, 1874, residing with his parents until 1899, when he was united in marriage to Miss Christina Beard. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stevens took up their abode in Union township and to this happy union was bom three children, Jacob Philip, eight years; Elizabeth Mary, five years, and Goldie two years. The deceased engaged in carpenter work and just at the time that surrounding circumstances were most favorable, he was overtaken by the dread ailments, which soon deprived him of the robust health he before erijoyed. It was but recently, however, that he was confined to bed and he has been faithful to the very end, stating when his last hours were at hand, that he was going home. During the year 1907 Mr. Stevens was baptized at the German Lutheran church and he has been a faithful worker in behalf of the Christian cause. Beside his devoted wife and children, a father, mother, four brothers, two sisters and a host of friends survive to mourn the loss of this most estimable man. He was a brother of Clayton Stevens, of this city. The funeral services will be held from the Union township church Thursday afternoon, the cortege leaving the house at one p. m. Interment to be made in Clark’s chapel cemetery. Rev. Burrows will officiate. The deceased was 34 years, 3 months and 3 days of age.

We note by the Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn., that Ralph Lynch, a former Decatur boy, is a member of the glee club of university of Arkansas which has started on. a ten days' tour of the state of Arkansas. Mr. Lynch is said to be among the best singers in the club and his picture appeared in the above stated paper. Decatur is glad to hear of his recognition.

for Children's coids. Mrs. Henry \ Martin, La Motte, la., R. R.N0.1, writes; \/u u L “Afterauffer- FS. “ ing for some X ~- J “ J time with sore eyes I wm advised [ a friend to try Peruna, which I did at once. “The first bottle relieved me, and after using four bottles I was entirely rcured. “Ido recommend Penina to all who ■? are afflicted with catarrh. 1 hare found it to be a great remedy also for coughs and colds of children; a dose at bedtime will relieve them from coughing all night. I always keep it on i hand, and recommend it.” Catarrh for Seven Years. Mrs. T. Freeh, R. R. No. 1, Hickory ' Point, Tenn., writes: “1 am happy to 1 tell you that I am cured of catarrh. I have followed your good and kind advice tai th fully. I bless the day when 1 J wrote you of my condition, and I will ' . always praise Peruna. I think it is one , ! of the grandest medicines on earth. ' I “Having been afflicted with catarrh ' and stomach trouble for seven years, ' I and after having tried four different ] doctors they only relieved me for a little while. I gave up all hope of being cured. I only weighed one hundred and thirty pounds, and was so weak I could hardly i get around the room. j “I was induced to try Peruna, and to ‘ nay greatsurprise I am now entirely well. My weight is now one hundred and j eighty-eight pounds, my health never was better in my life, I shall always , praise D?< Hartman and his remedies.” .

Fancher, of Findlay, Ohio, for the damage done to the roajls in Monroe and French townships last February 12th by the teamsters who w'ere working for the Ohio Oil company. It will be remembered that twenty-two French township men paid .fines of $13.30 each for heavy hauling over the above mentioned roads while in the employ of the Ohio Oil company.

The Fanner’s Wife. i j XS he is in a better position to know than the farmer’s wife herself wl-.at < ( is required in the farmer’s home ? She must meet its troubles, solve its pre b- '' > lems, ward off disease, nurse the Bick, she must do all these things hers-ls, , and she learns by valuable experience what is best and what is not best. ; In numberless farm homes Peruna is relied upon as the family medicine. / Peruna books are consulted in health and disease. Peruna is used as s preven,i tive as well as a corrective in disease. ? The wives of the farmers of the United States constitute a solid phalanx ) ( i in favor of Peruna. Against this testimony the slanders of a few critics will < not prevail. One sensible mistress of a farm home who has used Peruna $ knows more about Pernna than all the magazine critics in the world.

Peruna In tier Home. Mrs. Anna Linder, K. F. D. No. 5, Dassel, Meeker Co., Minn., writes: “For two years I suffered with that terrible disease, chronic catarrh. “Fortunately I saw your advertisement in my paper and I spoke to my sister about your medicine. She wrote to you and I got your advice free of charge. X took Feruna and am well and a mother j

ty attorney, C. J. Lutz to notify the president, of the oil company that unless they appear and effect a settlement for damages sustained, an action would be brought against them after a reasonable length of time had expired. This morning Mr. Fancher, representing the oil company, came to the city and was more than willing to adjust matters and before leaving he issued a check for $275, which has been added to the road fund, and the roads that have been damaged will be repaired. Mr. Fancher is a very clever gentleman and he so demonstrated the fact by announcing this morning that he would locate each of the French township men who had' paid fines before Squire Smith and pay to each of them the amount of their fines. The aforesaid damage was done the twelfth day of last February, when the oil company was removing their tanks from French townships to Monroe township and the settlement is very satisfactory to all concerned.

Robert H. Gaither, a representative |of the Allis Chalmers company, was l in the city looking over the mach- . inery at the interurban power house i with the view of changing the current by wmen tne cars are operated from alternating to direct current. The directors have not decided whether or not the change will be made. The direct current is the old way of operating, and is more expensive, while the alternating is the new way of harnessing electricity and one that is very much complicated. In fact, the qualities of alternating current are not all known of, as it has only been for a few years that its use has been established. There are but five or six interurbans in the United States that use alternating, and it has been a perplexing question to many of the manufacturers of car equipments as to how to construct the electrical mechanism of the car in order to receive the heavy voltage characteristic to the new system.

Pension Agent Lee L. Martz drove to Newville this morning to report to Ephraim Mosure, the aged and well known war veteran of that place, that an increase had been granted in his, Mosure’s pension, making him S2O per month. Mr. Mosure was seventy-five years of age the 11th of this month, and for the past few weeks he has been in very poor health.—Bluffton Banner.

of two children. “I owe it all to Peruna. I would not be without that great tonic for ten times its cost, for I am well and strong now, and cannot speak in too high terms of its value as a medicine.” In a letter dated June 12,1906, Mrs. Linder writes: “I cannot express my thanks enough to you for allthecood vourmedij cine has done for me and my family. |

A LARGE GRIST They Were in Session Eight Days and Make Good Report After a busy session lasting eight days, the grand jury reported to the judge of the Adams circuit court this afternoon. The report shows that they examined one hundred and sixteen witnesses and returned twentyeight indictments. It is understood that six of these indictments are for felonies and the other twenty-two for misdemeanors. This is the largest number of indictments returned in one session of the grand jury for years, and denotes vigilance upon the part of those who were selected to look into the vice and infractions of the law-. They also visited the county jail and infirmary, and at both these public institutions they found discipline,

cleanliness, order, all the necessary credentials of well governed public places. At the infirmary they were especially glowing in their report, and praised the management. They made no recommendations at either the jail or infirmary. The report was short, but concise, and gave a good account of the time consumed by this body of men. selected as the law prescribes, to investigate and report upon conditions in which the public is interested0 Ves Maggert, the idol of Bluffton base ball fans, who was sold this spring to Rochester, N.

He will be taken on by the Fort Wayne club and played in the center field. —Bluffton Banner.
