REMARKABLE RECOVERY,
THANKS TO PE-RU-NA.
Mrs. Frank Stroebe.R. F. D. 1, Apple

“I bozan using; Peruna a few months
Sgo when my health and strength were
all gone, and 1 was nothing but a
nervous wreck, could not sleep, eat or
rest properly, aud felt no desire to live.
“Three bottles of Peruna made me
look at life in a different light, as 1 be
gan to regain m? lost strength. While
my recovery took nearly four months,
at the end of that time I wras better than
1 ever had been before. I had a splen
did color and never weighed more in
my life.
“I certainly think Peruna is without
a rival as a tonic and strength builder,
aud it has my endorsement.”
This lady entirely recovered from a
nervous breakdown. She did not go
away to a sanitarium, and spend hun
dreds of dollars for a cure. She just
staid at home, took Peruna, and in four
months weighed more than ever in her
life, had a splendid color, life looked
bright to her. Peruna did all this for
her. What more could be expected of
any remedy?

Use for Celery Leaves.
After cleaning the celery do not
throw away the leaves. Wash them
carefully, spread them out thinly and
set them on the back of the stove to
dry.
After they are thoroughly dried, rub
them to a powder, and put them away
in bottles. They will prove a delicious
flavor to many different kinds of
dishes.
Try a pinch in a chicken stew, or
with the scalloped tomatoes.
A TRIP TO PANAMA
(Continued from page 1)
among’ the fannies here. The quarters
furnished by the government are very
nice and comfortable. All houses have
wide verandas extending nearly all
around the building, and are screened
with wire so as to keep out all mus
quitos and insects: have plenty of
large windows and doors with blinds.
Furniture, eleetic lights, coal, wood
and water are furnished free by the
government. We have first class
water works, and a fine sanitary sys
tem. Ice is delivered every morning
at a cost of 40 cents per hundred.
A train is run from Colon to Pana
ma City, every morning, which delivers
ice, bread and cold storage products
to the intermediate towns. Fresh veget
ables can l>e had at all times from the
commissary and also from the Chinese
gardeners, who raise them all the year
round. F.verthing in the way of gro
ceries are kept at the commissary and
the supply is as complete as in any
up-to-datf* gorcery store in the States.
Gorgona is quite a lively town. We
have a nice church, with services every
Sunday, also Sunday school, and
prayer meeting on Thursday evenings.
There are many fine voices here, and
we have excellent vocal music, also an
orchestra and the I. C. C. brass band
quite often. We have a fine Y. M. C.
A. club house, where we have lectures,
entertainments, a reading room and
library.
Work on the canal is progressing
rapidly. We have somewhere near
200 trains per day through Gorgona,
carrying dirt from the Culebra cut.
Everything in connection with the
hauling of dirt is done by machinery,
very little labor l>eing needed. The
blasting is done early in the morning,
or at noon, while the other work is
not in progress. Often as much as 15
tons of dynamite is fired at one time.
I At the present rate of moving dirt, it
is estimated that all the dirt can be
removed from the canal prism in
five years. Yours very truly*
Mrs. Jesse B. Brown.

Paragould, Jan. 27. —James Rich- j
ardson, a young man of this city, died |
yesterday from the effect of a fall ]
which at the time seemed of small ini- j
portance. Yesterday morning while
i attempting to climb into a wagon, he
| fell and his body struck a part of one
side of the vehicle. A few hours later j
he died. It was found that his spleen
had been ruptured by the fall.

CHARLES AKERS
Below is an excellent likeness of
( has. Akers, a former citizen of New
ark, who was killed in a mine acci
dent at Summerset, Colo., last Janu
ary.
Mr. Akers was foreman of the but
ton factory at this place, during the
entire time the plant was in operation.
Some time after the factory closed
down he went to Colorado, where he
entered the ministry in the “Church
of God," commonly known as the
"( ome-outers.” Becoming dissatis
fied with its doctrines, he later joined
the Methodist church and was engaged
CHARLES AKERS
in misson work among the miners,
having secured a job and gone to
work in the mines among the other
men in order to gain their confidence.
Ilis work, however, was cut short by
an accident in tho mine, in which an
immense lump of coal fell upon him,
resulting in instant death.
The following verses were written by
him just a few minutes before the acci
dent occurred:
“O, dear Jesus, how I love thee!
Mortal tongue can n'er express
Half the joy thou dost now give me;
O, how graciously I am bessed.
All because I have believed thee,
Just because I did repent;
And because that thou hast saved me,
Thy good spirit thou hast sent.
Now with hope my heart aboundeth,
Yes, with joy it overflows,
As l think on future glories,
How the way with brightness glows.
O, how long will l*e this waiting,
For the crowning of our King,
In the brightess of thy glory
And the clouds and fiery flame?
O, Lord help us to keep ready,
Lamps all trimmed and burning bright
In the dark days of tribulation;
May we with thee make our flight.
Then in mansions of thy glory,
With celestial beings sing:
Glory, glory, halleluiah
Through eternity shall ring.
CHURCH-GOING
The business man who never or sel
dom attends church is certainly over
looking his own intere/t. Even if he
does not care to attend on the theory
that he may be benefitted morally and
spiritually, be should consider that
the rest and diversion mentally would
amply repay the effort. If he is rais
ing a family he should attend because
it will help build up the moral at
mosphere in the community where he
expects his children to live. The
church music, the old-fashioned hymns
and the quiet restful air of the church
will prove a stronger tonic for the
tired business man than he can secure
otherwise: it will pay to attend church
and experience the feeling of having
approached nearer to gentility and
decency than is possible otherwise.—

ROBERT ENGLES DEAD
The death of Robert John Boyd
Engles, which occured at his home
near Moorefleld on the 25th, cast a
gloom of sadness over his entire com
munity.
He was a man of amiable spirits. ■
quiet, gentle and kind. He had been
in poor health for about two years,
during which time he sought relief i
from various physicians and made I
one or two trips to Hot Springs in an |
effort to restore his health, but all these
failed and his life was laid on death’s ]
altar as a victim of the incurable ail
ment.
He died in full peace with God and
man. He was a consistent member of ,
the M. E. Church, South, at Lee’s
Chaj>el. and was converted during the
pastorate of the loved and lamented
Rev. F. R. Noe.
He was buried at the Mack cemetery
with Masonic honors, after a funeral ■
service held at his home by Rev. Jas.
F. Jernigan.

DON’T
E
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

Because Professor’s gone.

When the teacher came around.

And with the teacher, too:
Co steal a book and look therein
Was more than they would do.

As they slipped their books about,

He’d never find it out.

When you think in that way,
Jrofessor knows what you deserve
Before that awful day.

Just think, ‘‘He's found it out, '
